I know they don’t have the bells and whistles some of the more expensive brands have but I’ve used Jumpstart thermostats for 10+ years on my UTHs and RHPs without fail. I think they’re affordable and reliable. They were $30 when I originally purchased them and they’re $41 now on Amazon. They do everything I need them to do when it comes to regulating my enclosure temps. I’d have to burn through 4 of them to buy one Herpstat 1. I just don’t see the added value. I’m thinking about getting 2 of the Herpstat 6s once my 8’ enclosures arrive and I rearrange my stacks but that’s just because it’ll look nicer and be easier to control everything from just two units.
