bump. purchasing tomorrow like to have as many opinions as i can get

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.

Would Johnson or ranco considered cheap?

[littleindiangirl]

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.

No, its a programmable thermostat that will keep you temps +- 1 degree. They are not 'cheap' in that regards... I highly recommend them!

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.

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.

Sorry, but a T-Stat for under $40 would be cutting corners. Pay the money for a good UTH and T-Stat, and it will pay you back 10 fold in ease of use and peace of mind.
