Price: $75.00

Pros: Easy to set-up, controls the freezer very well

Cons: Using the temperature probe is a bit awkward, will need to modify the freezer lid to avoid having it run beneath the door seal

Recommended? Yes

Have recently purchased a Craigslist freezer and this device turned it into a fermentation chamber/kegerator. Quick shipping from Midwest Supplies, device came with technical drawings & instructions but learned more from reading posts on HBT on how to set it. Holds temperature well, stays within the margin I set for fluctuations. Very pleased with the device.

i am a perfectionist...so a digital would've been preferred, but for the money this works great!! took a couple days to dial it in, but once i had it there i only check on the beer to make myself feel better. great product for the price!

Cold Cycle Only! Works well enough. Temperature probe sits under/near active fermenting beer.

Love this thing. It turned a chest freezer into a digitally controlled fermentation cabinet. Let the lagering begin!
