See edit below:
Tried offline... As a new unit I set it up in an empty brooder to test it. Tied the sensor 2" off the floor, set the temperature to 102° and took readings. The temperature rose to 116° per the controller and verified with a handheld digital thermometer. Dropped to 100° and started heating. Two problems; temperature went too high and the heater plug just barely stays in the controller. It fell out three times. I expect better heat control from a digital controller... Another test: I set the controller to 95°, temperature went to 113° before it shut off. This time I put it in a cooler with the heater at one end and the probe set on a brick. The controller sits outside with the wires going inside. Too high of a temperature swing for a digital controller. My contact via email was totally unsatisfactory. "I would like to inform you that the probe should be attached to the surface where temperature needs to be monitored, probe wasn't designed to measure the temperature of the air." Thermisters measure temperature, whether in air or suction cupped to a surface. I guess I need to return it and buy from another supplier.
Edit follows:
I was sent a new unit and decided to test it in a cooler for better control of variables. I plugged it in, put a 40 watt incandescent bulb in as a heater, set it for 105degrees and turned the light on. In 5 minutes the air temperature rose to 105 degress and the unit turned off the light. The temps fell to 103 degrees and the unit powered up the light. Great, just what I wanted!
I repeated the test with the 150 watt ceramic heater that came with the kit. We went off the rails... The temperature rose to 105 degrees, turned off and the temperature continued to rise to 135 degrees! Yikes! I did some further research and found that the ceramic heater went up to 500 degrees. It weighed 6 ounces at 500 degrees so it continued to contribute heat to the cooler air. BTUs are mass times heat rise divided by the air volume... I didn't get the BTU thing done but my guess is that was 150 BTUs stored in the ceramic heater and as they dissipated the temps soared too high even though the power was off. The 40 watt bulb weighed .8 ounces and probably had a .1 BTU.
The take away from this escapade? Don't use a heavy, high watt heater when a light (no pun intended), low watt heater will do the trick.
I retested the original controller with the 40 watt bulb and it was perfect.
My apologies for not figuring this out before you sent me the replacement.
With a heater sized to the task this controller is perfect!
I think customer service might need to know about this issue so it can be addressed.
Maybe have a redirect to their website to calculate the heater size needed before purchase?

After 2 weeks of continuous use is falling apart
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020
I bought this heating system for my African Pigmy Hedgehog everything fitted into its place wonderfully; temperature control (on and off) and it's sensor does its job without a beat, however, the heat reflector and the base of the heat lamp has fallen apart. Its seems the continuous heat (I live in a cold state) has somehow made it impossible to "screw" the reflector back to and it keeps falling off. Everything else works as it should and I have no complains about it.

La campana llegó doblada
Reviewed in Mexico on November 5, 2020
La campana me llegó doblada. Es obvio que su diseño no es así. No afecta su funcionamiento y el socket se inserta sin problemas, se queda en su lugar. Para mi mala fortuna, la necesito ya así que no puedo darme el lujo de devolverla y esperar a que me la cambien porque se me muere mi erizo de frío. Por el precio de las 3 cosas la verdad vale la pena, hubiera estado muy feliz si no fuera por la campana maltratada.
