AIICIOO Indoor Electric Plant Heat Mat - Seed Germination Warming Mat Heating Pad Greenhouse Propagator for Plants Vegetables Herbs Flowers, 10x20 Inches

Super easy to set up steady temperature control

Very easy to set up and operate. Thermostat seems to work fine and temperature comes on when necessary.

I needed to keep a box at 24C for my plants to grow, I set the temp to 24C on the controller and it maintained it very easilyMy only slight gripe is the mat is very stiff and always has tendancy to roll back into a tube like when it was packed, besides from that I would highly recommend

I had difficulties getting my bamboo seeds to sprout. |they need quite high temperatures to get going, so the heater was essential.

I used thia all the time in the Spring. It was brilliant. However, a downside is that it uses a hell of a lot of electricity.

What I like is that does the job perfectly - coupled with a seed tray, probe left in the soil, a nice steady 74/75F should have my chilli seeds sprouting in no time.However, what I don't like, and this has been mentioned by other reviewers, is that this product does not meet the British Safety standard BS1363. The plug socket does not have shutters covering the LIVE and NEUTRAL holes (see photo). Honestly I am surprised that it is allowed to be sold, as I believe Amazon UK has strict rules regarding electrical "plugs" supporting the Standard, but perhaps that does not extend to sockets...3 stars instead of 5 due to the non compliant socket.

OK so this is what effectively replaces heated propagator in the greenhouse these days. Works brill if you have some sort of in-greenhouse cover system. So either cover your seedling pots individually and put them on the mat or like me use a plastic coldframe thingy you already have as a temp in-greenhouse seedling bank. Easy to use. Temp control brill. Can use temp controller sep to monitor in-greenhouse temp which has been a big bonus in this recent big temp fluctuation time - has let me know when to turn the greenhouse heating on or ventilate the greenhouse.

This is the second heat mat I have purchased in the past few week and both had the same issues.The mat heats uneven across the length and width. Only heating in the center which is useless!Maybe 3rd time lucky but will try a different mat
