Pros & Cons
Pros
Heat mats simply raise the temp to where you can germinate seeds. It speeds up germination a lot. The warmth improves my early spring sprout growth.
The jumpstart heats up quickly and evenly. When used with timer and thermostat very easy to regulate temperature. It is just the right temp to get my sourdough starter bubbling and active, and helps the rye bread dough to rise before baking.
Bought 6 of them. Pros - beefy connector points mean they will hold up for many years. That, by itself, justifies an extra few bucks to me.

As far as longevity i don't know yet as i've been only using them for a year.
Cons

Highlights
Quality
Despite the extra watering labor i had to endure i was very happy with the results
Works great high quality working right now
It is not a hot mat with just about a 20 degree temperature difference with the ambient air but that is all i wanted
Shipping
It ships in a box that keeps it flat unlike many other brands that roll up the mat for ease in shipping
Packaging/appearance
The components are bent from the first packaging
Just make sure you get amazon boxing because it will be sent in its actually packaging if you dont
Competitiveness
Its held to the jar with zipties linked together
Got these after trying another brand vivosun which was returned
I tried inkbird and ac infinitis 20x20 mats
I decided to try to save some money by going with cheaper brands
