Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat
Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent product with a few limitations. 1) It requires a 3 prong plug to be inserted in the unit which is ridiculous as a lot of heaters do not have a ground plug. You can easily defeat this by putting some type of 3 prong plug in the unit such as a short 3 plug extension cord. 2) There are 4 time stages broken down between week days and week ends. It is really good that this has that capability in a sensitive switching thermostat that can handle the current draw of an electric heater.
The thermostat is sensitive and works exceptionally well. I am totally pleased with its performance. I am in a motor coach that has two means of heating. However, to minimize power consumption and maximize comfort, I use this control and a small electric heater. The thermostats on the heaters have them either running all the time or not running at all. This unit fixes that issue.

Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this to work with a Dimplex CS3311 Compact Electric Stove. The product far exceeds my expectations, it work's perfectly and maintains a constant room temperature. I'm thinking of buying a couple more for my portable baseboard heaters.Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used this plug in thermostat for about 8 months now for both heaters and air conditioners. The programming is straightforward. I will be purchasing a second unit soon. I highly recommend it as a great cost saving measure. The only drawback is that it does not seem to recognize past midnight on Sunday as weekday programming. I assume weekday programming kicks in at the first Monday interval.Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
By programming a maximum and minimum temperature, this unit allowed me to stop the constant on/off cycling of my electric heater's on-board thermostat. Setting different day/night temperature programs also means no more fiddling with an inaccurate temperature dial every morning and evening.
This is an excellent unit, and I expect that it will rapidly pay for itself in energy savings.
Customer Review: Excellent product but does not work with digital/programmable heaters
Summary: 2 Stars
The thermostat is accurate and easy to program. Unfortunately, it does not work with digital/programmable heaters. The reason being, when the desired room temperature is reached, the thermostat completely kills the power to the heater.
When the room temperature drops below the tripping point, power is fed back to the heater. However, at that point, the power button must be manually pressed on the heater to turn it on.
Thus the thermostat is of no use when used with a digital/programmable heater.
