    If your just going to troll please dont post a useless post on a thread. The other thread got off topic onto that topis and one person said herpstat wich counter my orginial thought so im formally asking everyone befor i go off of what one person said because that already steared me wrong once. I wanna be sure i get the best one for them. So thats the reason for this if u must know.

    I'm not trying to be rude, but there is the search function on the top right of the page where you can look up your question.
    It's a pretty common question and the vast majority will say Herpstat.
    It's very reliable and very accurate.

    Herpstat they have more features and have better failsafe systems.

    The VE line of thermostats aren't as accurate as herpstats until the VE-300 and even still the VE-300 can't do as much as the Herpstat 1.

    Helixs are outdated and really need an update.

    Here, I'll even add to the pile of 'useful' information.

    Herpstat.

    If you're looking for something cheaper, then you're going to reduce quality. So if that's why you're trying to find alternative suggestions, then be prepared for reduced security when it comes to your hardware.

    Herpstats are reliable and have useful functions, as well as a far higher reputation amongst the community. With that, it comes at a cost. And if you're working with clutches, $150 for a Herpstat is nothing compared to losing everything. Or hatching out animals with missing eyes. Or kinks. Or having them die in egg due to problems.

    So it's up to you. Whichever you feel works best for you.

    Cheaper now, higher risks. More expensive now, more peace of mind

    Just to throw in my 2 cents.............VE200 has been running great on my bator for the last year and a half.

    Now just to be a "troll"........... its responses like this that are turning the older group off from helping new people. Tonight you are the wiener
