Variable temperature propagator.

I'm looking at this Stewarts propagator from KeenGardener.
A couple of questions.
Is this a decent propagator, and is this a good website to order from?

    I have never used keengardener but I do have the cheaper version of that propagator (I can’t choose the temperature on mine it’s just on or off). This is its third year and I’ve been pleased with it.  Certainly encourages things to germinate well.

    I had a variable temperature propagator in the early 2000s and it was great.  Not the same model and half the price at the time but very good until it died.   I then found a smaller one with 6 individual trays and lids which was also good but didn't last as long and now I just have individual heated mats - great for chillies and toms.

    Their pricing certainly seems competitive, although you're just below the free postage cut-off. The same product on Amazon is £93. My wife was looking for something just like this a couple of years ago but ended up buying the one with the smaller element and no user-controlled temperature dial.

    It looks really good.

    Thanks for the comments.
    I've ordered it from the Keengardener website.
