I don't own any of the VE stats, but I have most other brands, and they all just go back to the set temps after a power failure. Not sure of the best solution hers, outside of using two stats in-line.

I have a Helix and 5 VE200s and they all go back to set temperatures too. Only thing to reset is the clock.
I would contact Reptile Basics about the setting changing on that thermostat.
We get a lot of rolling brown out here in San Antonio.

Contact Herpstat on acceptable Generators, but this is right in the manual.

I have borrowed this Ryobi and had no problems with any of my electronics.
I just cant justify purchase when most of our power outs are in the summers when everyone is running their a/c full on.
If the herpstat is that picky, I wouldn't want to use them.

thank you all for the awesome advice. I am nervous using a fuel powered generator inside of my home. i will have to contact reptile basics and use two thermostats this season. just cant go through the heartbreak like i did last season.
