...names usually have patents or aren't easily duplicated. For the most part I buy brand names for multiple reasons; #1) Warranty #2) durability & #3) performance - #2 & #3 are usually based on other reefers experience. But there are brand names (we won't mention by name) who sometimes rush...
...list is a bunch of icons - click on "tasks" icon
#2) Under tasks there's a listing that says - Heater - add or configure heater - click there
