Quick question anyone used the newish 5 star/kegland power controller. Bought 1 today keen to read any others views on it. Looks good quality for the $

Yep. Works well. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Considering the low cost (less than a decent slab of beer) everyone should have one, especially if you’re using more than one element.

Our host has a stack of them.

Bloody good service I say. With the great price of these things have you thought of making them part of a turn key still purchase

If it blows inside warranty it will be replaced.

Not in a rush Andrew so no drama. I'm sure it will work to the way it should :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I have one. I genuinely love it but have had my own teething issues using it.
I'ts sensitive to heat and its tripped out a few times running above 80% power, but I've found putting a fan on it solved the issue (and keeping it out of the sun). I still outside in an open area at the moment so the sun's a problem.
The mains cord isn't mounted inside the housing and slips out of its grommet and the internal wiring can be seen. Not bare copper just the brown/blue insulating sheaths. I can fix this myself later.

When the mancave is built I'll probably put it in something more permanent with a couple of computer fans blowing air through it.

Its simple to use and good value. If it was to die on me I'd buy another.

Just like to quickly point out that I didn't purchase my controller from 5star. Not intending to create issues just wanted to give honest feedback.

Pity it has ‘keglands’ name on it rather than FSD... :teasing-tease:

We tried to change that but a minimum buy of 1000 units is just to big at this point in time.
We will get there :handgestures-thumbupleft:
