I use the Controller (#E26) on my bar. Works pretty well, easy to use!

Haven't used the digital heat controller.

I'm always a fan of the digital Love Control switches.

Never used those...are they easy to use/install? If so, I'd be half tempted to wire one into the bar to replace the other controller.

It is the exact one I use for my keggerator (the controller, not the heater). I like it because it is a digital temperature regulator specifically made for homebrewing, so the instructions that come with it are written with that in mind. And it is a fancy looking controller.

Dude, that one ROCKS. What probe do you use for it, and is it single or dual stage?

JMUBrew, the install is nearly identical to a Ranco or Johnson... it's just a switch.

Thirsty, I agree -- pretty lights and buttons rock.

Speyder, it comes with a 2 meter (?) probe but you can buy longer ones. It is NOT water-proof (ask me how I know).

Here's the panel I use them on:
