This is my third Mars Hydro Mat, the second large one. They're great, I have had zero problems. Even heating, and easy to setup. My oldest mat is four years old. They allow me to start seeds much earlier, and the seeds germinate very quickly. Highly recommend.

The mat is well-made, with high-quality materials that feel sturdy and long-lasting. It's also water-resistant, which is essential for indoor gardening where spills and moisture are common.Another great feature of this heat mat is its energy efficiency.

It has exceeded my expectations and has become an essential part of my gardening setup.

I bought this item to germinate seeds. I paid a little more for this name brand because of bad reviews on other brands of heating mats. I’m glad I did. It’s a nice size and very easy to use. I have 6 small seedling trays on it. I am happy with my purchase.

I use this for brewing Kombucha tea. I put my 2 gallon jugs on top of mat, set it for 85 degrees, and leave it brewing for about 9 days. Seems to do the trick. As a test, I took a regular thermometer and put it alongside the jugs, under the towel that covered the jugs; the thermometer read 84 degrees. So it seems to be working. 85 is barely noticeable as being warm, so it's an easy job for the blanket... but in our colder climate here it makes a big difference to brewing at a constant brewing-friendly temp. This is a great no-muss, no-fuss method for brewing. Any spills on mat can be wiped off easily, the unit turned on and off easily, don't have to fuss with moving the blanket... so all in all, seems to work really well.

I like that this heat mat kit with temp control is cheap. But then when you get it you remember that its cheap. I feel like if I were to feel motivated enough I could take a bite out of the plastic the housing on the temp control box is made from. I was trying to use it in a room that was around 64°F and it was failing at having the raw power to get the moist soil in tiny plastic cups to the set tempature of 80°F. Then I had the dumb idea to just place a box over the cups like a fancy room service lid. Several minutes later it reached 80.3°F. This made me feel like a super genius. When I recieved this item it came in just a plain white box that looked like I ordered a large adult toy. After opening the well taped small footlong bricked shaped box I was relieved to just see it was a rolled up yoga mat for a midget. There were not even any cool stickers. It's just mars hydro logo silkscreened on run of the mill cheap made in china stuff.

I use this for all seedling starts. In conjunction with a humidity dome kit it is perfect.

Really easy to adjust temperature and the mat stays at the temperature.

Works Well- Likely Not Needed If You Use a Grow Light.The issue with a grow tent with lights- the germination medium is too hot for cool season crops- like lettuce.A germination pad is not needed in this application.
