Are Aiicioo UTH's any good?

I need to get new UTH's, and I've been checking out some that have ways to control the temps that don't require taking up any more plugs. These have dials set into them that lets you control the temperature, and I've never heard of them before. Does anyone know if they're good? I see they need a lil more monitoring than a thermostat in the Q&A but that's not a problem, I check and do maintenance every day when I go to do handling time for my snakes. I really want to snag 2 of these; they seem nicely priced, and it will save space on plugs.

I have limited plug space in my living room because my house is old and only half of them work, so I'm trying to find some efficiency without sacrificing quality.

Don't waste your money. I got 5 thinking that the cost was amazing and they have individual dials, but the highest they will go is like 82°. If you read the reviews you will the same. I contacted the seller and they gave my money back with no questions asked. Didn't even ask me to return the unitis.

Probably not bad for something like a tarantula or other bugs, but it is too weak to go through any substrates.

The company was really nice and had very quick communication. I really wish that they would heat to 100 and then let me dial it down where needed, but that's just not gow these work. =(

Yeah, bo idea what they were thinking. But whatever. For UTHs, I am sticking with zoo med. I thought about going the rout of flex watt heat tape, but I don't know if I trust myself to wire them properly lol.
