anyone use one of these as a water bath for chemicals?

I'm interested in doing C-41 at home and have been trying to find some way to maintain the temperature in a water bath. I found this online and wondered if anyone has used one?

I used to use an electronically controlled water bath for photo chemistry. It became more work than it was worth. I have had better results with less bother just relying on the heat capacity of a large tub of hot water.

$300 is a bit much, you can find a Jobo CPE2 or similar for half that.
I think with a bit of practice heating up all the chems with hot water in a tub using hot tap water is also easy.
