Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

EDIT 11/13/20: I finally reached out to the company and complained about my brand new (10/11/19) puffed up heating mat after a year of it never have been used. I've received a full refund and I've purchased a replacement. The replacement looks as expected, completely flat with no air inside. I've taken a few new thermal pictures. You can see the heat is more pronounced at the power cord side. These thermal pics are about 30 minutes after powering on sitting on the carpet. The target temp was set a little over room temperature, but the probe was not near the mat so it was constantly powered on the whole time. I'm sure given more time it could have reached higher temperatures. The temperature probe seems accurate to ambient temperature. The power outlet does turn on and off around the set temperature. I'll still need to use this a few times for seed germination for a final determination of quality. But so far it does have some potential as advertised.
