Default Engine block heater replacement option?

Hey guys, my block heater doesn't work, so I was shopping around, and found this product:
Amazon.com: Kat's 14800 600 Watt 2" Lower Radiator Hose Heater: Automotive Amazon.com: Kat's 14800 600 Watt 2" Lower Radiator Hose Heater: Automotive
is this a viable option to use instead of replacing the original heater? It's cheap, and looks like something I can easily do myself. Thoughts?

Yes it would prolly work, but why not replace the old one and be done? They are fairly straightforward to do

Would you say it's about the same difficulty? Would one actually work better than the other? Also, I'm having trouble finding a replacement block heater online, any suggestions on where to look?

EDIT: I found OEM replacements, it actually does look easy, I think I'll go that route. Thanks!
