How is it?

@sofc I have had it in service for almost 2 years now and it has been great. My only issue with it is that it will reset to 55 degrees if you lose power. I keep it near full. Without any additional fan my humidity stays very constant with variation of 2% from top to bottom with the bottom been highest.

Dave, get an Electronic Temp Controller on eBay, like $15. It will keep your settings even in the event of a power failure.

It makes it work without power??

No, but it's memory will retain the settings, so when the power comes back on, it will be at whatever your settings were and won't reset to 55*.
