We have used the repti-temp when we needed in a pinch, it works just like a dimmer pretty much. All dimmers, rheostats and cheap t-stats will fluctuate with the room temps.

Cheap as in bad? No, I dont think so. We have both, ranco's outnumber the johnson, but they work all very well.
As for price, they aren't as expensive as some, but not dirt cheap either. :)

The dial thermostats/rheostats like the reptitemp will fluctuate. Those are quite a bit different. I recommend these for in a pinch, when your really strapped for cash, but that really is my own personal opinion. I am sure others agree. http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=75

Re: Need some help
I am on the website and decided to go with the Johnson.Can anyone tell me how hard it is to wire them.Would it be worth the 20$ to get a prewired instead?
After this im done asking questions.

If you're not fimiliar with how to wire stuff, or just dont want to risk it, i'd suggest getting it prewired. I have a johnson controlls from reptilebasics that was prewired and it is great.
