Please review the products you own and list pros and cons. It will be easier on everyone to make there choice.

GQF 1602N incubator: styrofoam incubator with no turner or fan. wafer thermostat. can be used as a hatcher.
Pros: cheap, lightweight, holds about 50 standard chicken eggs, has 2 viewing windows, has 2 vent holes with plugs.

BROWER top hatch: comes standard with fan and turner, Affordable (around $150 or less) has dishwasher safe. holds up to 50 standard chicken eggs
Pros: comes with turner and stand, has large viewing window, 4 vent holes with plugs, had a great hatch (95% hatch rate), lights when its heating up, lightweight, made of plastic so its dishwasher safe and you cant get bacteria build up. no wafer thermostat
cons: motor noise and the light constantly flashes. Thats it
