Tools and Hardware Reviews of LuxPro LV3 Line Voltage Thermostat, Cool OnlyCustomer Review: Works great Summary: 4 Stars
I use this controller in my indoor table-top greenhouse to run a bathroom exhaust fan to keep the plants cool in the summer.
The temperature control has been very good, and there seems to be sufficient hysteresis built into the controller to avoid short-cycling of the fan. (Hysteresis means that the turn on temp is a couple degrees from the turn-off temp, so the fan doesn't turn on and off every couple seconds).
The controller is all mechanical-no electronics inside. I haven't checked it for accuracy, but a quick look at my thermometer indicates it is at least pretty close to its set temp. It looks reasonably professional in appearance.
The unit is designed to fit into a standard electrical box, but it is a tight fit. I was trying to use a "remodelling" type box-the one with the little ears on it, and ended up having to drill out part of the box to get the thermostat to fit. I also don't like the location of the grounding screw- it allows the copper grounding wire to be somewhat visible and touchable from the outside. I realize that this is perfectly safe, but the non-electrical user can find it a little disconcerning.
That is about the only negative I had- otherwise it seems to be just what I wanted.
