I have to agree to this too. I have a 800W heater from Finnex and it failed after 6 months too! I bought 2 for my system, using the other one which is controlled by a Medusa Temperature Controller. I had 2 WON before that failed on me and crash my tank. I also dont dont expect this new finnex to last either. Next will be an Aqua-Medic for sure!

I had 3/3 WON heaters fail on me. and I've had 1/3 stealth heaters fail which are supposed to be "good". I'm just not satisfied with heaters in general. You'd think SOME manufacturer would have done this right already. Aquariums have been in houses for what? 50 years?

I still run 12+ year old visitherm heaters (10 years in use)............ no failures.
