Why is this advertised as "temperature Control"? Fotek shows this being a standard 0-crossing SSR.

A thermostat can trigger the relay turning on a heated floor or base board heater. Don't use this for an induction motor.

It's frequently used for controlling heating elements in applications with PID temp controls, but you're right the relay itself has no temperature control properties

This item IS garbage... Between the terminals is written "24V-380VAC", while lower, on the body it is written "25A/250V". Like Austin Powers, after meeting Robin Swallows (née Spitz), I can only wonder "which one is it"?

The one I received can only be read in Fahrenheit. When I contacted the company they said it is a newer model that I received that doesn't interchange between the two.

Temperature distribution & control is very poorly controlled. If you need better than 10 Deg F control, this is probably not going to to work for you. If so, having a warrantee is a poor substitute for buying an appropriate product in the first place.

No it is not. It's just a thermometer, plain and simple. I have two, one for water temp and one for air temp.

The dial is calibrated in Celsius so I use a second digital thermometer to monitor in Fahrenheit. It works well but the delta, the temperature it turns off until it turns back on is about 30+ degrees wide, a little loose for my application for smoking meats. The price is right for what I was looking for at the moment. I just couldn't smoke cheese with that tolerance. I am using it with 110 voltage electric heater coil in a smoker. Voltage does not change the thermostat setting. That said, one has to consider the amperage rating of the contacts, 16 amps is the max. rating at either voltage

The ambient temperature on mine appears to be accurate. It does short cycle like others have mentioned.

It is NOT self regulating. But is incredibly nice to know what the temperature is when trying to cook on it.

This controller only has one SSR output. It has both heating and cooling modes but you'd need to rewire your setup to switch between them.

Seems to me that this is the company's idea of maintaining a heat setting, in other words, I think this is the plan, not a defect. What I would complain about is what they are calling "oscillation"--what, maybe a 20 degree turn in each direction? Pretty pointless! Here technology is controlling you.

Starts at "simmer" then next setting is 200 degrees. There is no 100 degree designation. sorry

Well actually, my Ozeri is F only. I can't change it to C (Celsius is the temperature scale i use). Even with this little detail, Ozeri is in my opinion perfect. The product and the company. Very professionals. It's only a matter of being used to F that makes simple to read.

I don't know this is a different model than I own. I assume it is to increase the temperature.

I'm pretty sure it's "hot", the trigger just causes the wire to feed. I don't see why that would be a big deal. Turn the thing off when not in immediate use. Probably some regulatory goon, industry or union person looking for an "issue" to limit competition.

As far as I know the one I have is Celsius only. I just printed out a conversion chart.

The pad is set for a certain max temp but the controller is basically a rheostat (dimmer switch) that reduces the amount of current going to the pad.

I noticed that the temp display had very subtle shading to distinguish between the heat settings. We depend on wrist dipping and a toy ducky which has a temp readout that is easier to see.

That's what it says in the product description and I bought it based on Consumer Reports glowing evaluation. However, there is absolutely no marking on the device that identifies it in any way. Finally, in spite of Consumer Reports opinion, this thing is slow to read the temperature of anything that isn't ambient. Trying to take the temperature of something on the grill runs the risk of burns before the temperature is obtained.
