Just to be clear, does the digital temperature display show the temperature the heater is set for, or does it show the actual water temperature? Thx.

It shows the set temp when you are setting it, then it shows the water temp afterwards. I also have a removable thermometer outside the tank and this heater functions flawlessly.

Digital display will give you a precise temperature readout (if it is calibrated with a temperature probe). I am very happy with my FX888D. Be sure to read the instructions a couple of times; it is a little confusing on how to setup the presets, and if you do not do it right you will end up changing the temperature calibration.

Yes there is. It tellsvyou the current temp as well as an option for setting the heater to the temp you want.

The display shows the current temperature, and is BLUE if the temp is a couple of degrees lower than the thermostat setting and RED if the water is too hot. NO specific light for the heating element cycling on/off. Not a big problem to me; the Heater is pretty nice and I'm glad I got it. VERY stable temperature maintenance.

Hello Jackie, to be honest it's a small margin for error with this heater. My heater still works and some times the temperature settings work. And when it does, it's because I have somehow lucked -up in getting it to work. Sorry, I'm sure this was of no great help; good luck

I noticed that the temp display had very subtle shading to distinguish between the heat settings. We depend on wrist dipping and a toy ducky which has a temp readout that is easier to see.

It heats the water to the desired temp. So it turns on "red light" when the degrees of the water is lower than the desired temp. If you set to 85F it will stay on until the temp of the water is 85F. However, I noticed it heats great but doesn't decide "temps" great. So I bought a Finnex Max-300 Digital Aquarium Heater Controller and the in-line heater will only turn on when my "much improved" controller tells it too. I have my controller set to 82F and my in-line set to 85F. So if the water is 81, my controller turns on power to the in-line, the water starts heating, and once the controller gets to 82F, it shuts off power to the in-line. I did this for "fault protection". I heard this in-line malfunctioned a couple of times, got stuck to 90F and never turned off. Fried all the fish in the water... Go get the Finnex Max-300 Digital Aquarium Heater Controller, you'll thank me later!

There is not a temperature that shows on the heater. When it feels to warm I just turn mine down. I have been very satisfied with that. It works well and does not cost a lot to use.

The setting for temp are actual degrees. It comes with the dial and the heater, but it does not let you know the current temature of your bed though but honestly it works pretty good we keep ours at 74 bc I like my bed a little chilly. Hopes this helps

Yes, You can even have it displayed on the main screen on the android app. Temp is in a Circle and the circle even changers color with temp change. I have one multi on the garage door, now I can read the garage temp any time. I Just thew one in my Aunts room to see how hot it's in there. I walked by the door and the heat just blew me back. just did it for fun to see how hot see likes it. Oh, that would be 80 degres. just checked.

If you have an air vent close to the sensor, it will detect the change in temperature from the heater/AC airflow. One of my bathrooms has that issue. Try redirecting the airflow higher so it's not registered by the sensor.

No. It shows on the display and you have to unplug it or pour the water when it reaches the desired temperature. I still love it though because of the speed in which it heats up.

It's possible that your water is already above the temperature that the heater is set for. Either that or it's a defective unit, like the other answer said!

No. But if you hit the button once, it shows current temp of water. Also, if you re-cradle it, it will show current temp of water.

If you see it connected, it is reading it. However, it does not display its readings. What it does do is display by default is the average temperature and humidity of both locations. Deep in the thermostat menu you can change that option to display sensor temperature and humidity, thermostat temperature and humidity, or the average of both.

Yes it does show the current temperature, the target temperature can be adjusted depending on what you want. The second you turn on the machine it's cold. The lowest temperature reading on the unit is 61 degrees. It's quite chilly if you let it run for about 1 hour. The room will freeze.

I have a half filled turtle tank. I bought this a few days ago. My digital thermostat is at opposite end of the tank. Yesterday I noticed it rose to 82 degrees. The water was pretty warm to my hand. This may have something to do with the heat lamps being on as well. I now monitor the thermostat regularly and turn the water heater off periodically.
