General Information

61bwV4ntBZL._SL1000_.jpg
For price I was very skeptical but have been trying a bunch of different ones and this time decided to go with a small one .

Pros:
small can hold 12 chicken eggs, with adjustable you can fit other eggs in it too
Adjustable egg turning laid down
Easy cleaning sterilizations as incubator itself is hard plastic
good if power outage as it sits in external 2 piece Styrofoam that helps insulate it automatically
5 eggs in 4 chicks out at 5k elevation
pretty much no stress hatching if you need to just a few eggs set em does well from incubation to hatching


Cons
no vents or plugs to remove
does not have much room for separate verification of temp and humidity so you need more of a button type one or modify the cover so you can put a probe in, it does monitor the temp but not the humidity.
if your used to Farenheit you'll need a converter as it cannot be changed from Celcius
cover is darker and hard to see into

Only worked for one batch of eggs and then never worked again.
Pros: Worked once.
Cons: Moisture got into the temperature display area. Let it dry out before our second batch. Started working for three days and then never turned on again.

I had a similar one, mine kept the heat really well, but adding water was difficult, because you had to take everything out to the add it. Also no grips to take off the cover, so fiddly. Hatch rate wasn't great either, probably because of the missing vents. If I hadn't broken it, I would have drilled holes in it for air circulation, then it might have done a better job at hatching eggs.
 
Don't buy one from Amazon in advance of hatching season.
I made this mistake and today used it for first time and it's defective.
Called amazon and as it's now past the return window I have a $126 cad plastic egg carton.
When I looked at the packaging amazon sent it to me in, there is a tiny red sticker on the box saying "defective not for sale" which I did not see when it arrived. Shame on Amazon but I'm giving triocottage the benefit of the doubt for their product.
