I understand that teh Eheim Stealth heater has the best rating for holding up and not failing as well as for value for price.

Drs Foster And Smith are selling an Eheim Deluxe heater as well for exactly the same price and claim it is their best heater.

On the web I can't find comparative reviews and find the Deluxe generally cheaper than the Stealth.

Which one performs better and is less likely to break down?

Also, Haeger and Marineland both make heaters that look similar and have similar names but cost more money; are either of them actually the same thing as the Eheim Stealth?

That's Eheim Visitherm Stealth and Eheim Visitherm Deluxe.

To my knowledge both the visi-therm stealth and visi-therm delux are made by marineland.

I use the visi-therm stealth and I'm very pleased with them.

See http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...fm?c=3578+3743 Now, they say the Stealth is made by Marineland, not Eheim, and the Deluxe is made by Aquarium Systems; what gives there? Google tells me that E-heim actually makes the Jager heater.

When I googled Eheim Stealth heaters I got http://www.saltycritter.com/heating.htm, which discusses aquarium systems Visitherm stealth heaters, which look identical to Eheim/ Marineland's stealth heaters.

I've grown accustomed to aquarium supply companies playing musical brands.

Waht brands and what models are really what?

I thought I had two Eheim visitherm stealth heaters in my aqurium. They appear to be identical, but one has no identifying info at all and the other has Stealth on it and says it's made by Aquarium Systems. And it isn't the Deluxe model which looks very different.

Any chance Aquarium Systems and Marineland are the same company? That would not be a surprise.

Dora, it would be for your safety not to include your e-mail address in your posts as it is viewable by the public and easily found by search engines.
You can edit your post or I would be happy to do it for you, if you like. I edited your first post.
I'd also consider removing your last name.

Since yours is your user name, you'd have to request a name change. Give me a sec, let me find the link.
