Johnson A419 -vs- Ranco ETC-111000 1

Does anyone have PERSONAL experience with both the Johnson A419 and the Ranco ETC-111000 temperature controllers? All I have ever used is Johnson, but the Ranco unit is about $20 cheaper. Something tells me I will be sorry if I use a Ranco.

Yeah....all I can say is that the JC A419 rocks.
I hope that someone can chime in on the Ranco.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but are you talking about the Johnson, the Ranco or both?

Oh...LOL...I thought that you were referring to the Ranco.
Thanks for settling that OICU.

I think I'm going to stick with the Johnson. $20 isn't worth ruining a bunch of work because of a failed temperature controller.
Thanks lipa, JD, et. al.
