I did not replace this product either. Very expensive for one year use!  -  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 :(  -  Saturday, February 23, 2008 Seedling Heat Mat Starter Reviewed By: Kevin (Elwood, ILL) The heating mat worked good for one year, second time using it there was no heat. The mat was very good while it worked the first year. Not worth the money that was spent.  -  Tuesday, February 10, 2009 Argh! Lasted Only 1 Year Reviewed By: Cheryl (Tumacacori, Arizona) Yep, like in the other reviews, my carefully handled mat stopped heating near the beginning of its second season, although it worked terrifically the first year. I have decided not to replace it, and just start the seeds earlier.  -  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.
