Woods 59366 Lamp and Appliance Timer with 3-Prong Outlet, Repeats Daily Review

Woods 59366 Lamp and Appliance Timer with 3-Prong Outlet, Repeats Daily

The one I received (a couple of months ago) is slow by about 10 minutes a day. Right from the git-go, it had this problem. So every few days, I have to correct the time. It's not a huge inconvenience. The dial with the "Time Now" pointer has to be turned so that the pointer is lined up with the current time. It only takes a few seconds, but it would be nice if I didn't have to regularly do that. At $8 (today's price at Amazon), I don't think this is an especially good deal.
One other thing. It makes a lot of noise. So much so that I used a towel to muffle the sound until I was able to replace it with a better timer.

Farm Innovators Thermo Cube Thermostatically Controlled Outlet Review

I've used this ThermoCube for a few years to protect some vulnerable water pipes in an otherwise unheated shed.
There are several cosmetically-identical versions. The TC-3 model (on this page) is designed to turn on at 35F and off at 45F, which is pretty critical information that should be in the product description. It's rated 15amps and 1800 watts according to [...], which sells these for over [...] each.
I've been using this device to switch a radiant oil heater. The new ones will control 250-watt brooder heat lamps. If you're worried about pipes freezing, it's cheap enough and simple enough to be worth a try.
It gets 4 stars because the temp sensor is not accurate (on at 38F) and there's no indicator lamp confirming the device is getting power from the outlet.

The Thermo Cube is a unique, patented electrical device that plugs into a standard 15 amp electrical outlet and turns power on automatically according to outside air temperature, saving money by using power only when temperatures require heating or cooling. There are five models available with different temperature ranges to choose from. Each unit has two receptacles for use with more than one electrical device. Cold weather model TC-3 turns on at 35°F, off at 45°F and is ideal for home and farm applications such as pond de-icers, unheated rooms, pump houses, greenhouses, boats and RV's. One year limited warranty.
