yan Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Just wondering if people use this brand of heat mat and if so are they reliable for you? I bought the 30W 40x60cm just over a month ago and it’s packed in already. I decided to spend a bit more on this one rather than the cheaper big river ones in the hopes it would be better quality. Not sure whether I was just unlucky and to try again..: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 They're pretty much all the same, root it is a Garland hydro garden brand so pretty well respected. We sell em at work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.o.i.n.t Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) I think I bought a couple of these.... If so, yes. 3 years or so still working. ETA I take that back - one of them brands that's a made up name, all capitals. Came with a themostat/temp probe.....if this generic Chinese crap is going after a few years, I imagine the ones asked about will too.

Aphatspliff Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Use these in various different sizes in all my tents. Never had a problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Rootit stuff is solid in my experience. I've used their mats, stats and heat cables in my grow room and my greenhouse, I think every root it item I've bought is still going strong. The mats and stat are probably 10 years old now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the punter Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I bought a 6ft by 2ft Rootit heat mat but a few months ago I opened the tent door to check on something and its just as well I did , a hole glowing red and burning had formed and was meling the mat , it could of started a fire, good job I was home, it was only about a year old. I've now bought Chinese made mats that I feel safer with, after that I don't think I'd want another Rootit . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yan Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Thanks all for the replies. Just home and would you believe it seems to be working fine again now with root temps back up. I swear all week they’ve been way down and it’s felt cold to touch. I guess it could have been the inkbird playing up rather than the mat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
