I like won brothers titanium heaters, I have had no problems with mine in the past and I just bought another 300W for my new tank.

i've had 2 out of 3 won's that i've owned die on me. They were each just 3 months old when they died. Thermostat problems on both of them. I took one apart to try to figure out what was wrong with it, but couldn't solve it.

They worked great, WHEN they worked, but I'll never buy another one again.

You're lucky if your's haven't given you problems, but I wouldn't trust one if it was the only heater of a tank.

I have had one heater in use for 3 yrs continuously. The other one has been used on and off for mixing water and QT purposes for about the same amount of time. I don't feel these heaters are as crappy as kwirky thinks. IMO
