It's winter and the deer around our property need water. This De-Icer is working as advertised. The temps have been around 20 degrees with wind chills in the teens. The water has remained unfrozen during these very cold days. I'm happy with this purchase.

The heater works great except there seems to be white fuzzy things growing on the seams so im not sure what that is and only other complaint was that when FedEx delivered it they threw it from the truck as they drove by and smashed the box pretty bad so other than that it works okay

Sized right for our situation

This has the right wattage to keep the tank water from freezing but it’s not bath water like the 1500 makes it

Item met expectations. Delivery was on a FedEx truck for 9 days. No attempt to deliver the item and was returned to the terminal each night. One driver reported that he could not deliver it due to weather. The weather was absolutely clear. I will no longer purchase from Chewy.com if you utilize FedEx.
