Freeze misers have held up well for us. I'm a believer.
I've got two neighbors with no water asking for guidance on what to do. It's all PEX plumbing. What should : shouldn't they be doing today?
Mine worked again. Third extended freeze using them. Dumping buckets is the only annoying part but that to me is better than paying a plumber $150+ to replace.
Word of caution though...definitely make sure you thread it all the way on. There is a way to test each before a freeze and I would recommend (test = put in freezer for 1 hour then throw on faucet....it will stream out water and eventually stop assuming you are not testing in already sub freezing temps).
Last Saturday I tested 2 of 3...the third I did not b/c it was "out of box" new so figured no need. Well, I woke up Sunday AM to a frozen spigot. I realized I had not screwed it on right. I was able to thaw the spigot and then put it on and no other issues since.
