I’ve had this Starter Home for about a month and a half. It does a nice job of providing a good environment for the starter. The reason for 4 stars is that it’s had some temp fluctuations, running warmer (but hasn’t done that in 2-3 weeks) and running cooler. I decided to put a thermometer in the Starter Home while using it and it has been running 1 F to 2 F degrees lower than the programmed temperature (programmed for 78 F but only reaches 76 F). That’s not a game changer, but is a consideration when setting the temperature. Overall, I like it and my starter reaches peak more quickly in the Starter Home than just on the counter due to the air conditioning during summer. It’s nice to use when I need reliable results based on a consistent temperature. I think it’s a good value and recommend it.
