Disappointing Purchase

I purchased this box after experiencing many bulk fermentation issues for weeks. After a popular sourdough baker talked about it on social media multiple times I thought it would be the answer to my proofing problems. I also liked that it folded flat for storage and I could control the temperature as needed. After trying it roughly a dozen times I realized I wasted my money. The included instructions were not helpful as to temperature, so I turned to YouTube for guidance. Not much there either. I figured I would set it at the temperature most sourdough bakers recommend which is right around 75. Each time my dough remained sticky and either under-or over-proofed; never just right. I even went so far as to set a timer for 30 minute intervals so I could check on it regularly. After a full day of fermentation, I could not get a decent dough. The rise was great, but the stickiness never went away, and I was unable to shape it. Either that or it would rise and then collapse, although I was checking it on a regular basis. So now it sits folded up in a cabinet, and in my opinion, a total waste of $250. I guess I will return to my original method of letting it rise in my laundry room on top of the dryer. Lesson learned.
