Anyone ever bought these? Any good?

well the 100 deg temp thing doesn't matter if you use a thermostat, but I think you could be right about the cheap parts thing. That's why I wanted to know if anyone had tested them, I mean, for all we know they could all be made in the same factory with just a different label slapped on them...

Dont worry, I won't be buying them unless someone who has tested them says they work though.

I disagree. 100 degrees on the mat and 100 degrees at the probe are a different thing. Unless you have the probe on the heat pad it could still be an issue. If it will heat up to 120 it won't take it long since it is electrical, but it could take the probe more time to register and by then it may be too hot. I would use known good products. That's just my 2 cents
