The picture shows a non-PRO version of the Aqueon 50W heater. Can anyone confirm that I am buying the "Pro" version (from "Ships/sold by Amazon"?

They come as the black polymer pro series. There are a couple numbers missing from the part number, and they are using a random aqueon heater stock photo, but I recieved the right one

I bought the 150 and the 100. Both were advertised as the pro versions and I received the pro versions.

The picture is "not" the actual heater that I got when I ordered it. It is not glass, it's made of a much heavier solid material, with a heat on and off light in the middle of it. I was shipped the "pro" version of this heater. :) I love it!! Great price for a great heater!

This isn't the heater I bought. Mine was also completely covered in black. It also has the light to indicate when it is heating in the middle.

This is the wife who pays the electric bill and that isn't the case for us. It is only drawing from the electric when it is actively heating water. If you read the review we posted you can see we use a lot of hot water. There had been no significant change in our bill. Also it cuts the cost of my gas bill since I no longer have to keep 50 gallons of water hot. At worst the cost negates itself between the two. Lastly I can't put panels on my roof the produce natural gas. The next thing the plumber will say is you don't want to get one of the electric heaters because the elements will get scales. While this is true I have seen plenty of videos and if you just perform some simple maintenence it is not a problem. And by simple I mean flushing the system at least once a year with white vinegar. Remember the plumber not only hooks up the water, he does the gas too so he makes more money that way. Also most tankless gas water heaters retail for about $1300 and that is the one he will try to sell you.

It's difficult to describe the fins exactly. It would be helpful to be able to show a picture from the top of the heater so you could see it exactly. The fins in the middle of the 1st and last are concave (I guess?) is how I would describe them. They are not in the same way as the old radiators that are in a house.

that's great question...basically through all the research I did when my heater was doing that was that you can't really determine which thermostat is faulty without hiring a pro. That said, you could replace one and if that doesn't fix it, well, you have narrowed down. I just replaced both (not very expensive and easy to do it yourself) instead of hiring someone (much more expensive and will probably just replace both anyway). There was some opinion in there, I hope that it helps.

No. It's sold or made by 'Mr. Heater', but it actually not a heater. Its just a ceiling fan/ light.

I sent it back, it didn't work well at all! I tried for several days to adjust the high and low temperature settings, but when then heater was on it wouldn't shut off and it would overshoot and when it was off, it wouldn't turn back on. I had it in a 10 gallon tank. UL....??

really depends on how much you need to raise the temperature. This model burnt out on me after a month, the glass cracked and when that happens, usually you loose all of your fish and sometimes even the tank (it can in some cases blow out the fish tanks glass as well). I'd recommend the aqueon pro models. they are much more accurate, and being housed in a high density plastic there is little risk of them blowing up your tank. Aqueon Pro Heater

Hello, The Lifesmart Heater i bought never worked good. I believe that i got a defective model. I fixed it myself and found loose wire connections inside of the unit. It reduces my electrical bill about 25% but i use two heaters in my house. One is the Lifesmart 1500 and the other is a different model Diva Tranquility 1500 model. I like the Diva model much better and the two infrared heaters combined heat my entire house well. My home is 1,260 sq. ft. and i set the heaters at 65 degrees and dont use my big whole house heater all winter. I do save some electricity in Kentucky. Our electric is expensive here and higher than a lot of other places we lived. I hope this helps you out! Hello, The Lifesmart Heater i bought never worked good.

The one I received had two prongs, one side being wider than the other. I only use the heater when I am present in the room. I do not leave it unattended and running

I would suggest you call the manufacture pro com I'm sure they would be glad to answer any of the questions you might have concerning the heater

The heater that is pictured is a Lakewood Jr which I have had in the past (seems to last only for a year). I wanted to order it again but at that time it was called Homebasix which I ordered in September of 2013 and it is the same kind and size heater but with a different name. I always liked that heater as it is a perfect size for my needs, but it also gave out after a year! I tried to find it again but haven't so far, but apparently you did so maybe I will look into that one. Hope this helped you...

Aqueon doesn't sell them directly but places such as eBay should have some used ones. Also try contacting aqueon for a replacement

Call Aqueon directly. Mine came without the handle and they shipped two to me for free when I called. Great customer service. Their website has contact info.

Honestly I regret the purchase and actually donated it to a local nonprofit auction. It didn't heat the area as well as I expected and couldn't return it. My electric bill went up substantially and the overall cost of operating. Wasn't feasible for me. If you purchase one have the ability to return it if it doesn't work out for you. Any other questions please feel free to contact me.

I have been using a cheap $10 tetra heater. Have had no problems for 6 months so far. But the led lighta on my tank are quitting one by one. Im a bit disappointed in that because the tank was so expensive.

I had a heater like yours and it did not run it. I was so disappointed with the unit, I sent it back and received a refund. BTW, it's made in China.

The 150w is rated for up to 79 gal. You could probably go with the 100w unit and be fine, since it's rated for up to 50 gal. This works in my 30 gal with no issues. Best heater I've ever owned.
