I’m so impressed with this egg incubator! It’s easy to use and has all the features I need for successful hatching. The temperature and humidity control are precise, and the digital display makes monitoring the conditions simple. I love that the incubator automatically turns the eggs, which is a huge time-saver and ensures the eggs are evenly warmed.The capacity is perfect for home use, and it fits a variety of egg sizes, which is great for different types of poultry. The transparent lid allows me to check the eggs without opening the incubator, maintaining the internal temperature and humidity.Overall, this egg incubator is durable, efficient, and easy to use, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to hatch eggs at home. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this incubator will give you peace of mind and a high hatch rate. Highly recommend!

I used to hatch out 3 chickens and worked very well. The temperature and humidity monitor matched perfectly with the separate digital on I had inside. The turner works great. The candling light is just ok (my iPhone light is brighter).You will need to cut out rubber drawer liner for the tray during lockdown (shown in the picture).I only needed one water bottle for maintaining 50% humidity. For lockdown I needed to fill both to achieve 70%.The unit is easy to clean and I would recommend!

This incubator is smaller than expected. I will update review once I put it to use.

I have 5 other incubators. Been in the game a long time with hatching chicks mainly. Also ducks, guineas, bantams, etc.This unit is very, very 'made in china'. When you are incubating chicks, precision is key. Temperatures off by 1 degree can alter or doom a hatch. Humidity not being stable can doom a hatch. While it could do the job, I don't have confidence in it's consistency and quality.Functionally, it is fairly straightforward like other small scale, forced air, lift top digital incubators. It has a turning mechanism I've not seen before, and the gears have to line up just right with the lid or you will spend much time and frustration trying to jiggle it in to place.The turner works, but there is a key issue with it I'll address in a bit.The temperture was off by 2-3 degrees. I had to set it to 102 to get a 99.5 temp inside. That doesn't instill confidence in a machine. Furthermore, the eggs I hatch are specialty eggs, they're expensive and rare. So you don't want to mess around with chancing a faulty hatch.This would be an acceptable incubator for a classroom or rare use situation. But I do not see it holding up to regular use.Here is my main problem with this incubator.The directions are so poorly done, even someone with common sense gets confused. There is conflicting information or missing instructions regarding the function of certain buttons, there are more button functions that don't have any directions. So, I don't know whether adjusting 'F2' is changing humidity or turning rate or turning shut off etc. The only obvious one is temperature. I use 2 extra thermometer/hyrometers in each incubator I use to check for hot or cold spots and accuracy/ fluctuations.This unit isn't accurate and there are not instructions on how/if you can adjust the actual thermometer sensor in it.Another major gripe. The unit I recieved is NOT what was advertised, and I would not have purchased the unit I was given. It has only 8 egg slots. It was advertised as holding 18 eggs, and the product stock photos show an 18 egg tray. Given there are 8 MASSIVE egg slots, it could work only for massive eggs, like goose or large turkey. But for a chicken, duck or bantam, the slots are so large the eggs spin and rotate inconsistenly and unideally. Plus, 10 less eggs get incubated. NOT worth 50$, in any way.The product pamphlet also is outrageous in some of it's google translations. For instance, something I find to be completely unacceptable in any company selling a product,It literally states 'if the product you recieve is different from the product pictured, [the one advertised that you purchased] the product shall prevail.' So essentally, if they sent you something different, too bad. What you recieved it was you get, even if it's not what was advertised and you thought you ordered. SHADY, SNEAKY, SCUMMY.So I ordered an 18 egg incubator, and got one with an unuseable 8 egg tray. But the product prevails!I did try this incubator for about 2 weeks and then switched the eggs to a better incubator once I had room in it. They did hatch well in my other incubator. So, it did alright for the time they were in it, with the temperature at 102.5 and a dry hatch humidity (so I didn't use any of the humidity functions on this unit. They seemed like a pain with the water dispensing, I couldn't trust it to appropriately dispense water for correct humidity)With all this in mind, I would not recommend this incubator, amd would return it if I could.

I am glad I waited to review this product. I really wanted to love this product. It has flaws that you only discover if you actually use the product so I’m giving an honest review based on my experience.It’s a simple design. Temperature is preset. Pretty no frills. I thought it was nice they included the battery cable to run the incubator off a battery.First problem, the bottles did not release water as were intended. I still had to walk by and pick them up to release water into the chambers to keep the humidity above 40%. Under 40%, it sets off an alarm. No problem. I have a couple incubators that require you to lift the lid off to add water., which I dislike. I’d just walk by and pick up the bottles before bed to keep the alarm from going off in the middle of the night. I tried the other caps but all had the same issue. Side note… the alarm also goes off if the temperature spikes. I do not know if it goes off if the temperature goes too low. It is possible, when the lid is off, the alarm goes off.This model has no count down for your hatch so you will need to mark on a calendar or in your phone, the days for candling eggs and removing the egg turning tray. I didn’t find the included candler to be strong enough, so I used my own.I do not know why incubators are not sold with an anti-slip mat to insert at hatch time to prevent splay leg. The bottom of this is super slippery which makes it easy to clean up, however, it’s terrible for the health of baby chicks prone to splay legs. I got some textured shelf liner from a dollar store. Laid the egg turning tray on top and cut out a piece to put in the bottom.The very last day of hatch, it occurred to me that there is no way to turn off the egg tray turning motor and gear. Every 120 minutes, it turns on. The baby chicks are exposed to the plastic gear and hardware/wiring. I cannot figure out how to block it off. I tried an index card and it popped out and didn’t block the top of the gear anyway. Baby button quail and coturnix quail are tiny so I can see this being a real problem.Today is hatch day for my silkies but now I’m paranoid that this could be disastrous. I have another incubator ready to transfer babies to if that gear becomes an issue. If I could figure out a way to block off or disconnect the egg motor, I’d give this a 4 stars for a basic easy incubator.
