Tools and Hardware Reviews of WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat

Customer Review: Great product. Fast shipping.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great product and served it purpose very well. All these electric fireplaces they sell at store do not have a Dang thermostat to tell them to cut on and off at a certain temp. This solved our problem and keeps our vacation house master bedroom at a perfect 72 degrees. We programmed it to just turn on during weekends which saves us alot on power as well. Wonderful product and very affordable for the technology.

Customer Review: Bought a 2nd One - Keeps the Kid's Rooms Comfy
Summary: 4 Stars

In my house in winter, we save money with programmable thermostats to keep the whole house cold while using space heaters to keep the children warm. Our space heaters are DeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Radiators; I have two and in general I've been happy with them in terms of rapidity of heating and more importantly in being quiet. However, it's hard keeping track of what setting to use for a comfortable room; and oftentimes I'll come into a child's room and it is either really cold or really hot. Obviously, I could take more care in selecting a dial setting, but that's a lot of futzing I'd rather not have under manual control.

Thus my purchase of this device. I set it up to keep the bedroom a nice moderate temperature during sleeping hours and just keep the room from getting icy all other times. It has markedly improved the comfort level of the bedroom; whenever I go in there at night, it's a nice comfy 73°F. I don't have to worry about turning off the space heater in the morning; I don't have to worry about my child dehydrating like it was summer in Phoenix. The device handles it for me.

Setup was easy, although I did miss the on-off switch on the side of the device resulting in a pretty cool fall night for my son. Controls are large and I like the big mode setting dial which makes it obvious what is being configured. If you want to override a temperature temporarily, you can use the arrow buttons to set the thermostat until the next scheduled temperature change.

Not that it is perfect. Its shape is awkward for keeping on a table with the extension cord coming out one end and the space heater cord coming out the other. And if you mount it at a receptacle, it's difficult to not block the other socket.

Customer Review: Well regulated heat
Summary: 5 Stars

Our 50's style ranch has a 4 degree temperature varience from one end to the other, and of course the cold side is where the kids bedrooms are. With this thermostat on space heaters in their rooms they can be warm enough at night and comfortable during the day. It's helped us reclaim those rooms as a useful part of the house by not behind the heat curve by turning on the heater when we want to use the rooms and waiting for it to be the right temperature. The programming was easy, just like the house thermostat.

Customer Review: Cheaply made
Summary: 3 Stars

Well I bought this to control a 400W IR heater that I placed up high in my sons room so he could not get to it. The relay in this thing welded shut the very first time it turned on. I am an electrical engineer so I just fixed it myself. The relay is a bit too small in my opinion, but it should not have had any problem with a 400W heater. I installed a larger relay and it has been working great ever since. The control part works really well but I suspect the relay will eventually go out even on one that works right.
