They are good and make the tank look a bit neater as well as make it easier to adjust the temp. I have had two fail but I also have two that have been going for years without issues. All are the Hydor brand.

I don't think they would affect power usage much as you still need to heat the same amount of water - in fact I would actually think they would use more power as they do not sit submerged so there is heat loss via the plastic housing. Negligible though I reckon.

Safer for fish too... No burns and scarring.
