One being the dials are easier to use on the Thousand Oaks than the finger pressure switches on the Kendrick Units. And most importantly, while both units have low voltage cut out circuits, you can bypass it on the Thousand Oaks, but cannot bypass it on the Kendrick. Consequently, whenever your voltage drops down a bit the Kendrick unit shuts down, notwithstanding there is still plenty of power there to run the heater straps.
The Dewnot straps are excellent. Peter read at SDM sells it all. It's not cheap but IMO its the best.
