Comparing different submersible heaters

i use a jager in my tank. i bought it because the one the tank came with, an aqueon, rattled whenever i handled it. so i bought the jaeger for the simple reason it ws made in germany. works great, never needs to be adjusted and is made real solidly. it has been running for roughly 9 months withut a problem.

my girl has one running she says for over 3 years without any trouble or adjustment.
 
I have 2 Aquatic Gardens heaters I bought from Petco 2 years ago and have had good luck so far.
 
i like to keep mine out of my tank too.

i have no idea if mine is a brand name or a diy deal though. i bought it used and it looks like a fire hydrant. i'm thinking it's from the 60's maybe, idk. if i ever have to replace it i think the only in line one on the market is hydor so i might not have a choice.

oh, and bump means bring up my post if you were wondering. there's also ttt (to the top).
