Aquarium heaters that don't suck?

Help/Advice

Looking for the kind of aquarium heater I can plug in and forget about for at least 5-10 years. Starting to think this sort of product isn't made any more.

Is it just me or do they always end up leaking/failing/cooking?

I had great luck with my Eheim Jager that ran in a 29 gallon for at least ten years (bought it on Craigslist with a tank, don’t know how long the previous owner had it). I also got two Marineland heaters just a few months back, and they’ve both been acting perfectly, but of course I haven’t had them very long.

I second Eheim Jager. Its German engineering and very good quality from my research.

I like Cobalt Neo-Therms and Aqueon Pros. I don't trust any glass heaters anymore, not even the almighty Eheim. I wouldn't forget about them forever, but those are the ones I trust the most.
