HEATER - Visi Therm Stealth VS Deluxe

[hefner413]

Hey, I've seen both the visi therm deluxe and the visi therm stealth. They seem similar in price, but a little different in design. Does anybody know which is better and why? Thanks

I like the stealth.
1 it is all balck plastic, no glass to shatter
2 it blends in with a black backgound nicely
3 auto shutoff out of water.
cant beat it, I have four of them

i know they have a guarantee for accuracy, but i just replaced my visitherm. I had to run the temp setting at 85 to get the tank to 78, and it was not constantly running. so i guess i'll be sending it back, but in the mean time i got a jager (sp?) from this website and it's working great.

Wondering about the difference b/w the 2 types of visi therm heaters though - the stealth and the deluxe. The deluxe is suppose to be new i guess? Anyone know the difference? thanks

I have a visitherm stleath and a deluxe. The stealth is in my 75g and my tank stays at 79 degrees. sometimes it goes to 78 but its pretty much dead on at all times.
I have the deluxe in my 20g mantis and it keeps my tank pretty much at 78 at all times as well. they are both good heaters. I do like the stealth more because of the black that blends in and its impact resistant plastic.
