Good sturdy trough heater at a great price
This is been pretty great–I held off reviewing it until it had gone through most of a winter, and it’s held up fine. I have it in a galvanized bucket (about ten gallons) on the back deck for animals and I appreciate that the cord has wire reinforcing because the darned raccoons LOVE to pull it out of the bucket. (Maybe because it is bright red instead of white or black?) So far it’s kept the water ice-free, the cord reaches the outdoor outlet with no problem, and I haven’t noticed a surge in electrical use in my bills. So far it’s played nice with the gfic outlet, which can be a problem with some heaters because of the wattage it draws in very cold weather. I’d recommend this one, especially at the price, and maybe pick up a second backup one if you live somewhere that has subzero temps because that cold does wear out all the models I have tried.

Kept my donkeys water thawed
This is a lifesaver in the winter. My donkeys have a kiddie pool as their drinking water. This keeps it mostly thawed so I don’t have to worry. I love it. I have one I’ve used for at least 5 winters. Still working.

Great for Smaller Stock Tanks
Purchased these smaller stock tank heaters to save some money on our electric bill. They work fantastic. Keeps the tanks ice free even in the lowest of temperatures. Size is great, doesnât take up too much room in the tank. The housing is plastic so Iâm not sure long term if they would last if you have livestock that like to play with them. Iâve found them to be very durable though as I have larger heaters of the same brand in a 110 gal. tank.

Functional but poor packaging and design
Update… I bought 2 of these in November and they no longer work – complete waste of money. It’s 20 degrees here and my bushel water tubs are completely frozen. ð¤¬ð¤¬ð¤¬ Apparently they don’t do refunds according to other reviews, but too late to return it anyway. Animals outside deserve better than this ð¤¬ð¤¬ð¤¬Disappointed that the seller is pushing they’re American but selling cheap products made in China and using their sales location to bait customers. SUPER disappointed.For starters, the packaging was infuriating. Box was glued shut and I had to get a blade to get into it. No cut cardboard tabs to close it which I thought would have been cheaper to make and more ecologically responsible rather than spend all that money coating it in glue that’s impossible to rip open without cutting it. The cord is too short. Company is from USA but product made in China. So far it works but super disappointed in packaging and outsourcing from an American company to China.

Works
Had it for a couple weeks now. Use it in the horses water trough and it works great. It sank to the bottom. I place the cord through PVC pipe to protect it, water never has frozen since and nights have gotten down in the teens..

Works!
heavy duty worked well in both my chicken water and my dogs 5-gallon bucket. Used for 2 seasons and have not had any issues yet

Why this one is the best
This one is the best out of all the other four manufactures and I tried this one last. Why it’s the best outcome all of them. It sinks into your trough dosnt foat at the top. It dosnt burn and melt your plastic trough. It dost only best some of the ice. It downtnheat up your trogh to the point of killing your fish in it. It comes with a clip because the cows love to chew on everything. This is by far the best one. The rest are just junk.

Perfect stock tank de icer and perfect price
Awesome little heater! I live in the southeast USA and we do get freezing temperatures in the winter. I’ve bought 2 of these in 2023 for 100 gal stock tank, and they are still going strong.We actually left one outside for a whole year, unplugged and sitting on the ground (i became disabled, and my help kept forgetting to put it up). Anyway it’s still going strong 2 years later!Im ordering a 3rd one for a new tank in a new area. For the price I highly recommend it.The heating element is encased in a plastic cage, and has a cord “keeper” that snaps on the side of the tank to keep it in place.We have an 8 month old colt that plays with everything but so far has left these heaters alone.

have multiple of these deicers that i use in my water barrels for my chickens in the winter, they work great and keep my waterers from freezing. Ordered a new recently to add to another barrel and it wouldnt work out of the box, I contacted K&H and did some troble shooting to discover i had a defective unti which they courier a replacement to me and i reccieved it within a few weeks

Seems well made! Worked well and kept my goatâs water from freezing even at -20! Would definitely recommend!
Eric –
Works pretty good in cold weather in 15 gallon trough. -33C keeps water open around heater. Put it on a timer because if itâs warmer than -15c it steams a lot seems like itâs over working but itâs great for cold weather. 4 stars because takes a little work to get it just right but overall keeps water from turning to ice in freezing northern Manitoba winters, good for the price.

Initially recieved 2 bad units. Contacted manufacturer via email and they were good enough to send me 2 new units under warranty.30 gallon stock tank out in the open, water has stayed fluid even on the coldest of weeks.I have used other products from K&H and have heated water bowls etc that have been working flawlessly for over 2 years now.Buy with confidence

I used the item for my chicken coup only in winter time for melting water in the bucket. It was working in last 3-4 years but this winter stop working without any outside impact, and not sure it is cover by warranty.I connected to the manufacture in US, and professional company they are helped for support. I appreciated.
