Whats better Herpstat or Helix

Just got Helix dbs 1000 thermostat just wanted to get thoughts one herpstat or helix for next time thanks

Most people prefer the herpstat over the helix from what I have observed. I don't own either so I have no personal experience on this one. Both are just as reliable though.

I have both, and I like the Herpstat better because on the Helix you have to press and hold the button down to adjust the temps, it has to go from the current temp to 110 and then back to 65 and then up in +1 increments, which isnt a big deal but it's enough for me to prefer the Herpstat. On the Herpstat you just hit the plus or minus and go up or down.

I have a herpstat and love it. No experience with a Helix.

I have 2x herpstats for almost 2 years now, no problems here. I do know people with both, and no major issues with either.

own both and will only buy herpstat II or pro from here on out, you have much more control with the herpstat easier to use, more functions , gives high low read out hi low alarm no need for adaptor to use night drop feature herpstat II can control 2 diff temp zones and herpstat pro has 4

I just got the Herpstat II and its amazing. The two probes lets me control my rack and cages seperately and keeps everything perfect. The setup is awsome and i have so many options with it. Night drop, moonlight, sunset,sunrise cycle. Its perfect. Go with the herpstat.

I have 2 herpstat II and a regular herpstat I love them. I have never used helix though.

i use a helix and it does the job...

Herpstat ND FTW. Much more userfriendly, night drop built in, great customer service at Spyder Robotics.

In case anyone's planning to get one in the future, they always run Christmas sales around Novemeber (probably not useful info atm)

I had a Herpstat ND and sold it to upgrade to Herpstat PRO. Been using the Pro for a few years now and it has served as a T-stat for my Adults, juvies, and an incubator...all at the same time.

Just to give you an idea of how awesome the proportional abilities are, I had 7 perfect hatchlings for my first clutch :D

I certainly don't think Helix is a bad choice - but all I've ever used is Herpstat.

Herpstat for me.

From what i read and been told most if not all helix need a higher set temp for achieving your goal temp in the cages. That to me is risky. The herpstats i set at the temp i want and its 1F lower in the tubs.

I use primarily Herpstat Pros, but I do have a Helix or two. I prefer Herpstat :)

Have used both, prefer Herpstat. No problems with either, just personal preference.

I have both. Both are very high quality, but the herpstat blows the helix away as far as the display and ability to control functions goes.

The herpstat pro is incredible.

I gotta say, I love herpstat, haven't used Helix though.
