Orlushy Submersible Aquarium Heater,500W Fish Tahk Heater with Adjust Knob Thermostat 2 Suction Cups and Free Thermometer Suitable for Marine Saltwater and Freshwater (500W)

Its a really good lil heater i bought it about 3 months ago and my betta loves sleeping on it for some reason. Also dw it wont burn your fish to a crisp bc like i said my betta likes sleeping on it instead of the plant leaves so if you have a betta with no place to sleep i suggest you put the heater as close to the surface as possible and make sure its still completely submerged like the instructions suggest and maybe your betta might like sleeping on it. Also when my idiot brother didnt take care of his betta about half the water evaporated outta the tank and he never topped it off so the heater was sticking out like a sore thumb so when i took his betta (bc hes so irresponsible) i actualy saw the heater was STILL WORKING! even tho it wasnt even in the water and it was still plugged in the wall all that time, it never even burned out or over heated. Pretty good lifespan considering it was halfway out of the water for about a month or 2 idk bc my idiot brother neglected the poor betta for who knows how long (Dw guys the betta is in safe hands and dw they arent sharing the same tank or even near each others tanks) I rate 5 stars for how long it lasted, its pretty cheap price and also that my betta thinks its very comfortable to sleep on. My betta loved it and even when i took my brothers betta i put together a new tank and let it cycle so while it did that i had to put his betta in a tupperware with that heater and i actualy caught his betta sleeping on the heater to so this is essentially a heater and a bed for bettas! ill put an image to show you my brothers previous tank with the heater in it to show you it was still working even tho it wasnt completely submerged for about a month or 2. Even if it breaks ill most likely buy another one from this seller bc of how cheap and hardy they are, it already lasted a couple months out of water so i doubt it will break anytime soon and my heater is already 4 months old and doing great so id say these are pretty good quality heater for the price they are selling for and also very comfortable for both of the bettas to sleep on bc of the plastic guard that wont cook them but rather keep them warm at night!

This heater is packaged nicely and works great so far. Seems to be accurate and comes with a stick on thermometer that is accurate and a hand held LCD thermometer. Pleasantly suprised with the quality at this price, hopefully it lasts me a while.

I bought this aquatic heater for my red-eared slider turtle, and it has been working great. It keeps the water at a perfect, consistent temperature, which is extremely important for turtle health—especially since my turtle is currently housed in a cold garage. Despite the colder environment, the heater maintains the set temperature without any fluctuations. It feels well-built and durable, which is important in a turtle tank where equipment can get bumped around. Installation was easy, and once set, it requires very little maintenance. Overall, this heater has been reliable, efficient, and gives me peace of mind knowing my turtle stays warm even in a colder space. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone keeping a red-eared slider or other aquatic turtle.

A pretty great heater, but I believe the temperature is inaccurate since my thermometer consistently gives me different readings while using this heater. It definitely gets the job done, but it’s not precise.

Great little inexpensive heater. I added this to a small 2.5 gallon shrimp tank and it's working great. No manual adjustment, which is fine. I will say it does struggle sometimes on incredibly cold days (it's in the basement and it's in a room that has the door shut 24/7 and no heat supply, so its always about 60 degrees ambient in the winter) but by that, i mean it might drop to 76 degrees or so for a few minutes. The compact size and clean, simple aesthetic is what really made me choose this one specifically, and I don't regret it. I will definitely buy another of these next time I'm in need for a small heater.

It’s been seven months since I’ve bought this heater it’s had been keeping the temperature pretty good and it even tho it does hover at 72-73.5 degrees Fahrenheit I have this way because my dojo pond loach’s have to have water below 80 degrees Fahrenheit or they will experience fungal infections and ich infections there a cold water fish used to cooler temperatures somewhat similar to gold fish which are actually a cold water fish and I have a albino mini pleco algae eater some people would call it measuring in at 5 inches last time I checked and the pleco’s like temperatures in the early 70’s and early 80’s 72-82 degrees Fahrenheit is a lil bit warmer but not too much so 72 is the appropriate temperature and the Cory’s like warmer temperatures as well hovering in at early 70’s to the early 80’s 72-82 degrees Fahrenheit so to keep everyone happy or at least satisfied I keep it at 72 degrees Fahrenheit and even this it does go up a few degrees that’s fine as long as it doesn’t go below past 79 degrees Fahrenheit that fine but let’s get into the heart of the subject:how long will this cheap heater last?🤔 well for the last seven months it’s held up pretty well so I’ll eyeball it five eight years approximately not sure like I said “eyeballing” it.subject2safety well it’s hasn’t made my tank become a boiling pot of loach food so that’s a plus and it hasn’t burnt up,melted, exploded,glass or heater either or shattered,hasn’t,stopped working,cord or heater electrocuted the fish and hasn’t busted the tank which is 35 gallon bowfront aquarium to pieces like a ticking time bomb and thickness of this cheap heater well it seems to be the last time I put it in and also had felt it which I touched it because I was trying to see if it was working yes it is still working and I have three thermometers on the tank one inside of the tank and reads the temperature outside the tank it’s the one that it comes with and this is not gonna blow up in my hands or fish tank question NO it’s not gonna be so cheap that’s it’s gonna be like a cracker this if you ask me is 4th or 5th in the top five list of best heaters on the aquariumist market 1st being eheim 2nd fluval 3rd being probably United because I searched it up and so….any way fourth being I guess yes orlushy brand and fifth I guess because my mother’s tetra fish heater didn’t stop working or melt I’ll put Tetra in at 5th place because well that’s what I’ve SOMEWHAT have experience on anyway great heater highly recommended and will be buying another one of this or another variant if this brand this brand has really surprised me yet….but for now yes great heater Godbless!

This is the perfect lil' heater for my 5 gallon betta tank. I've tried the other brand heater that rhymes with tiger, and was dismayed to find that it flashed an "error" display exactly one year to the day after installation. Looked it up, found out that was its termination notice. Can't risk keeping it in the tank after that. Back online to search for a replacement, no "tiger" brand ever again, though. My Orlushy however, continues to function perfectly at 18 months in. It may be an exaggeration to say that I love this heater, but any fishkeeper will understand the joy you experience when an important component of your aquarium setup works as promised, no glitches, no catches; happy and healthy fish! That earns something pretty close to love, IMO.

I purchased this heater as a replacement since my last heater finally gave out. The heater itself does its job, it heats the water to temp and keeps it somewhat to where it’s set. It was a great addition having the temp probe and digital readout. I have tested it against another heater’s internal control and mercury thermometer and it seems to be mostly accurate. My only issue, and reason for giving this thermometer a four star review, is because the temperature dial on the top of the heater, are the ONLY temperatures you may choose to heat your aquarium. It is not variable, or adjustable. I found if I set the heater to 75, the tank would sit around 72, and if set to 79, it will stay at 79. The seven degree swing seemed rather large IMO. Like I said, the temp is not variable, and if the selector on the heater is not lined up with a number, the heater will not turn on at all or heat the aquarium. All in all it does its job, but if you want variability when selecting a temperature, spend a little extra money and buy a heater with that option.
