I bought this de-icer to use in a 50 gallon poly rain barrel. I live in Wyoming where the low temps regularly are at zero or below. My rain gutters and roofs have heat coils that melt the snow from the edge, but the water has no where to go, so I ran the downspouts into the rain barrel, then on nicer days, when the highs are above freezing, I attach a hose to the rain barrel (it has a spigot at the bottom) and let the water bleed out to an area where it doesn't matter if the water re-freezes or not. The power cord is sufficiently long enough so that the heater will sit at the bottom of the barrel, flat against the bottom. I have horses and would also prefer this type of heater as opposed to other types and would use this in a heartbeat if I needed to warm a bucket of water. It seems that comparable products sell for twice as much. I am extremely pleased with my purchase!Read full review

If your looking for a bird bath de-Icer that looks good and works great, than you want one of these. On top of it looks and functionality where this model stand out is the length of its power cord. The cord is long enough to clear the bird bath and rest on the ground. I know how this sounds but all of other ones I looked at had a short power cord. A short power cord requires you to connect the extension cord to the plug off the ground Not a good look.

Works great ! When the water goes down to freezing it brings the temp up 20 degrees f higher. Big electrical savings. The chickens are happy with it also.

I finally found a heater that is easy to use and is of high quality. I bought several different heaters in the past and they only kept the birdbath thawed in the middle. This one is much better quality and the whole bowl is kept from freezing. I look forward to using it for many years.

This heater is working admirably. I use it to keep my dog's water bucket thawed. It was -6 F last night and the bucket was totally free of ice this morning. I've had this heater for a couple of weeks and it's not given any problems or failures.
