However I have three single sized mats ( 12") that only lasted 2 years.  -  Friday, February 03, 2012 still working Reviewed By: Tisa (Acworth, Georgia) I bought 2 of these over 9 years ago. I use them EVERY YEAR...I have had no problems with them  -  Thursday, April 01, 2010 Stopped working second season Reviewed By: Bob (Virginia Beach, VA) This worked great the first year. This year it stopped working completely. If the price was lower or quality was higher, this would be a great product for every gardner. But this falls short. BTW... There must be only 1 manufacturer, because they all look alike, so buying elsewhere won't help :(  -  Friday, March 19, 2010 stopped working after 1 year Reviewed By: Allison H (Leesburg, VA) Like the other complaints, my mat worked great the first year and did not operate the second. I did not replace this product either. Very expensive for one year use!  -  Thursday, March 05, 2009 Waste of Money Reviewed By: Pat (Ramah, New Mexico) The cost of these mats keeps climbing and the value lessens. Out of 5 mats used for 2 seasons, 3 have stopped working. This is nearly a $100 replacement cost. If the industry wants the non-commercial customer to continue using these mats, a cost adjustment is necessary. I won't replace them, I'll find another solution to heating the bottoms of my seed trays, thank you very much.
