I just ordered this for my aquarium because I’m hired of heaters failing.
Anyone have good experiences with this?

Can I ask how your heaters were failing?
I been using my ink bird for almost 3 years no problems.
Great out box. But my Hanna checker with temp prob says 77 and ink bird says 78. So it could be off lil but kicks on and off when suppose to.Great to hear! Did you calibrate it at all or has it been great out of the box?
I haven’t experienced that at all but I’ve only had mine for two weeks and I don’t have an apexIs it me or does the Ink Bird calibration absolutely suck? I have a brand new 306A and I'm using celsius set to 25.3 to 25.5 and the initial calibration was - 0.3, a few hours later and this has drifted to more than - 1.1 off. I started off with fahrenheit, but that swing was even greater and you can only set the temp to a 0.5 range. Both probes are near my apex temp probe, so there shouldn't be any fluctuation between them?

I returned mine and bought a ranco, problem solved. For my QT/observation tank, I bought an elitech controller for $15, which has two stages, heating/cooling and works great. Only caveat, it's Celsius only, but it's easy enough to set and has been rock solid. I bought a project box to mount it in, but haven't gotten around to doing it just yet. The other cool thing about the elitech is the probe is completely safe for saltwater.+1 I have a pair of 306As I recently purchased and the calibration in Fahrenheit suck s to the Nth degree - contacted Inkbird and it's been nothing but a run-around

ETC-111000 from Amazon. Wired it myself.
