seems like the quality of jager has gone down since they've been sold. i changed all my heaters to stealth recently with no problems yet. **Knock on wood**
stealth or jager?

Not sure about Jager, but I've had 3 Stealths fail on me, each under a year old.
They stick off, which is a lot better then on, like the cheap heaters I used years ago.
I do have a 150W stealth in my 55 that's been running a year and a half without issue.

I read just about every thread regarding heaters on this web site. I had problems with two heaters sticking on, on two different tanks. I have back-ups for redundancy. I decided to go with Stealth. Today, I picked up two 250w stealths from petsmart on their online store matching: $20.99 each on their web site, $36.99 in the brick-n-morter.
It looks like I am going to really have to keep an eye on the thermometers. It will take a little getting used to not having a "on" light.

about the light. It's makes it much esier especially when running multiple heaters on a tank. Since heaters are not really calibrated exactly to the temp it says on the control knob I like the light. And honestly the Jager's to me seem more effiecient. I had a tank that I could not get up to temp with one of my stealths so I reaplced with a Jager of the same wattage and it was fine. Maybe it just was that heater but kinda made an impression on me. Still think both are good heaters though.
