reasonably reliable
I use this thermostat to turn on and off an attic fan when temperatures get too high. I’ve found that every few months mine needs to be turned off and reset, or the fan will just run continously. This is no big deal for my purposes, but if you use it for applications where temperature control is critical for keeping animals or plants alive, check it periodically or buy a more expensive unit.
Update (2/5/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Why hasn’t someone done this before?
I bought this for use in my garage workshop, to control a small gas wall furnace/space heater. The heater has its own thermostat, but it’s not programmable and it’s terribly inaccurate, prone to wide fluxuations in temperature. This device does a lovely job of keeping the shop comfortable when I expect to be there while letting the place cool off at night to save energy. It’s lovely, and such a simple idea that I wonder who no other thermostat manufacturer seems to offer an equivalent product.
