Who makes good titanium/stainless steel heaters? Which ones would you recommend - ViaAqua, Azoo, Won Bros.
 
I will tell you I have had 2 viaAqua heaters burn out in a year and 1 Won Bros burn out in 6 months. never tried azoo. personally jager glass heaters can't be beat.
 
I ran a Won Bros for 7 years in my 55 and was still working perfect when I sold it.

I think you are going to hear horror stories for every heater on the market.

I truly believe that you get what you pay for in this hobby.
If it's cheap then it probably won't last.
 
I have two 300w Won Bros Pro heat IC heaters, they've been working flawlessly for aprox 2yrs. I also use Visi-Therm Stealth, had a 150w been working very well for 1yr, only note is that temp settings have fallen off a bit.
I recommend these two brands for good unbreakable/shatterproof heaters.

I hear Azoo come well recommended,

Ask Li if a stealth is unbreakable. LOL

I don't think having a AST (Alligator Snapping Turtle(?)) tear one up (Stealth) really translates to the average fishkeepers,
even MonsterFishkeepers, definition of shatterproof/unbreakable...
Unless perhaps one is keeping a very large and toothy fishy, but then again most of them wouldn't have such items in tank anyway:screwy:

The above average monster fishy might put some nice teeth marks in the plastic casing :naughty:
But for all intents and purposes,it qualifies as shatterproof/unbreakable.
