just realised that the product we got from monitors direct is the same product, lucky reptile also box it and our digital thermometer/hydrometer tested it against our habistat themostat and thermometers reading temps its a little out but they can all be that the temp reached and dropped alarm was annoying but that can be disabled without disabling the failsafe alarm don't know about the wattage issue as we are only using 1 heat mat on it. hope this helps

thats not really a problem though... I use the german plugs and sockets on a lot of stuff.. They are rated 15Amp, not fused mind but i have a 15A circuit in my shed and seeing as most of my tools were from germany it made sense just to fit german sockets..lol.
