Retailmenot.com usually has online coupon codes for brinseaHeather I had researched all those parameters for the Sweeter heater and the ecoglow. A lot depends on the size you buy. If you are doing the small one the eco glow is better for sure, at sale prices and energy consumption. But when you get into the larger sizes I can see the Sweeter heater having advantages. I've read on here and other places that once the chicks start growing the eco glow needs to be propped up on something. You can do the same thing with the sweeter heater. Of course I am looking at it from the prospect of brooding as many chicks as I can at a time. I can't see where the 20 chick unit would ever work for me at all. And if you buy the larger unit you pay a lot more for shipping on the ecoglow. Ecoglow is on sale right now which makes it slightly cheaper but normal prices are higher than the Sweeter heater. If you had a sale price and coupons you might be able to make a sweet deal.
I'll probably stick to my bulbs in the interest of saving money. I always wire the fixture in place so I feel pretty safe.
Staying up late and working didn't really have any advantages. I just slept later today. I'm a hurting unit but need to get back to work in a bit.
