Elitech STC-1000HX Temperature Controller Thermostat, Upgrade STC-1000, Automatic Switch Cooling and Heating, 220V

The product is actually good, but it is a step back in several aspects compared to the STC-1000. Advantages: the product looks good, quality workmanship. Programming has become easier. Disadvantages: lower display brightness, no back cover element, difficult to access the screws, only possible with a very small screwdriver, the temperature sensor is covered with plastic coating, which is why it reacts slowly to temperature fluctuations. It heats up noticeably. If you turn it off, the digits still light up. I think the old STC-1000 was better.

I'm very satisfied

Really versatile affordable controller have used them on bottle cabinets in bars industrial water cooling heat dumps and even tortoise breeding and incubation facilities. Simple to programme versatile and reliable

Thank you, Elitech, for swift dispatch of a replacement

I first had an STC-3008 of an unknown brand from Amazon that came in a plastic bag. Its one relay would not switch and the other one caused a short. And overall build quality was poor so I send it back.

This is a far more mature, ironed out product. It works well, has useful settings and switch behavior and comes in a decent box with a proper instruction manual. Build quality and display are a lot better, it works well, I am really pleased with it.
