I purchased one of the Frost King units (haven't tried it yet), but it doesn't look like I should get my hopes up there either.
For the heat source, I use one of those little 200-watt forced air heaters, like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XDTWN2/.
If the Frost King unit fails, I guess I'll just buy a project box and a regular thermostat and wire it to a 120-volt relay. Solving this problem shouldn't be this hard.

Regular wall thermostats generally don't go below about 45°F, and have a fairly small spread in temp, one to two degrees. Honeywell makes a special "garage" thermostat that goes down to 35°F, but its a piece of junk.
As already noted, and I had not thought about it, that anything digital either has to have a back up battery in it or loss of power will cause the unit to go back to defaults.
Good luck, I did not realize how un-reliable the cube thermostats were.
