WG05 Insulated Pail Band Heater - Bucket Heater, Fixed Internal Thermostat Max Temp 145 F,Tan

I bought this band in 2018. It's now Jan 2025 and it still works at heating my 5 gallon bucket. It uses Velcro and I put it around there snugly when I first got it but still loose enough where I can pull out the bucket to clean it. Then I slide it right back in. It has loosened a bit over the 6+ years I've had it. It still heats enough for my purpose so I haven't taken the time to redo the Velcro. How hot it gets depends on the room temperature. When the room is about 60 the temp feels like about 100-105F and when the room is 100 the temp is around 110F. If I tighten the Velcro and put a lid on the bucket it will go higher.

Works great, decrystalized our 5 gallon pails as well as jarred Honey that stiffened up too. A must have for anyone who would have excess Honey.

Takes a little time but the blanket never heats or burns the honey and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

I've used this 6-7 times since last August. Stopped working and I cannot seem to find any contact information. For what this cost I would have hoped it would last longer than it has and the price has gone up considerably since I purchased it. Worked well but no shut off other than you remembering to unplug it.

Works as it should! 3rd one I've purchased. One stopped working so I replaced it with a new one.

Used for soap business!

After doing a lot of research trying to determine which 5 gallon honey bucket warmer I wanted I decided on this product. It did exactly what it said it would do. I put it on my bucket of crystalized honey and 48 hours later it was de-crystalized and ready to pour into my bottles. I would highly recommend this product for warming buckets of crystalized honey.

Crystalized honey is tough to work with. Wrap this heater around your 5 gallon bucket, plug in, stir after 12 hours, heat for 6 more hours or so. Heat the bottom as well for a short cycle. Stir or mix as it should be viscous enough to pour from a honey bucket with a bottom gate. Such a time saver. Process time is directly dependent on the state of the honey when you begin and the temp of the room you are working with. Above numbers were achieved in a barn at 52 degrees with solidified honey.
