Cheap but Reliable Thermostat?

[Jabberwocky Dragons]

Thanks guys!
That Hydrofarm is so cheap, perhaps because it's so cheap I will buy it and see how it works out. Might as well, right? If it doesn't do it's job well for me, I'll get one of the more expensive ones that others have suggested.

Depends what you are using it for. The problem with using a cheap t-stat and a rack is that if it doesn't work out, you can end up with a destroyed rack, injured animals, or worse. Do a little searching. T-stats really do fail and this can have serious results:

I only use herpstats or VEs and never just one unless it's an enclosure where an "on" fail won't cause havoc, such as my dragon enclosures. Have your primary proportional and then a secondary on/off in case the primary fails. Some things are not worth skimping on and the thermostat is one of these. Even if you can't afford a primary and a backup right now, at least go with the Herpstat as others have mentioned (or the VE). Both companies have great customer service too if you run into any issues.
