Pros: Has a digital thermometer, Holds Humidity Well, User friendly, and easy set up
Cons: A bit small of the Little giant egg turner, it fits but it is very tight
I think this is a great incubator, I ask miller for a replacement part, and they sent me the part, and a diagram on heat in the incubator. I would give this incubator 4.5 stars, because when my chicks hatched they hatched a day early, and only five out of 9 hatched. This is a big step up from my 1602n
Purchase Price
59.99
Pros: Illuminated digital display, large size, two viewing windows on top.
Cons: Extremely poor hatch rate. Very inconsistent temperature. Humidity inconstant as well.
I borrowed this incubator from a friend (who mentioned she only had 1 chick out of 12 hatch).

MY rookie mistake...is that I trusted the temperature and humidity reading on the Little Giant. All the eggs died, slowly but surely...more blood rings each day. My hatch resulted with only ONE chick (out of 35 eggs!) I tried one more hatch - FIFTY eggs this time... None (NONE!!!) hatched.

These were my very first incubation experiences... I didn't know enough about calibrating and didn't think to NOT trust the tools on the incubator. How extremely disappointing.

Needless to say, I've purchased a new, different brand incubator of my own (Remember, the Little Giant is a friend's that I was borrowing), that will arrive tomorrow. I also ordered a thermometer/hydrometer tool to ensure my readings. I will put the tool in the Little Giant incubator and see what it reads :tongue I'm so mad at the L.G. incubator! It ruined almost 100 beautiful, fertile eggs. :mad:
Pros: Digital display, holds a good number of eggs, Easy to clean and disinfect, comes with fan. lots of water troughs to help with humidity
Cons: Horrible temperature spikes, cannot rely on built in thermometer/hygrometer at all,
So, my sweet husband got this for me for Valentine's Day knowing that I wanted an actual incubator(typically use home made). I was so absolutely thrilled I instantly plugged it in and got it ready for eggs. Already know how to incubate eggs, already have experience and done tons of research. I started with using a secondary thermometer/hygrometer to verify my digital readings I was getting up top on the incubator display. They were so off that I actually returned my Acurite thermometer/hygrometer, thinking I must have gotten a dud. Nope. Turns out even when this says it's at a good solid 99.5 or 100.0 it can actually be up anywhere between 104-116. Yes, I actually got a solid spike of 116. Fried all of my babies. I've been through well over 80 poor eggs, chicken, duck, and quail before being able to figure this thing out and make any use out of it. I was getting very close to smashing it with something, but it was a thoughtful gift, so I wanted to make it work somehow. I have, and can't actually use the digital display up top at all, nor can I actually set my incubator at 99.5 to actually get 99.5, but I have figured it out for the most part and keep a very close eye on it to watch for spikes. It's not reliable, and isn't even able to hatch anything unless you go through the work of making adjustments that should be unnecessary. Also the fan doesn't seem to be strong enough as my temperature is not consistent throughout the bator. am still using this, but making a new better home made incubator this week, as I need more space and want something I can count on. Overall, I would not recommend, or purchase again. There is a thread in the forum on this particular incubator and I couldn't find anyone that said anything good about it. I added it to the review section thinking that other people would like info before deciding to try it or not. Hopefully others have had better experiences than I have, or heard of others having. Happy Incubating!

I just got this at TSC and have had success getting some duck eggs to day 25 for lock down. Those 8 went into my DIY incubator now deemed the “Hatcher”. I’ve been placing a steady stock of eggs daily In this incubator with the egg turner to get them to day 25 to be hatched in a seperate incubator. Tonight, I checked my line of eggs and found a temp of 116. Now I believe I have 6 dead eggs if not more. Would NOT recommend. Buy yourself a styrofoam cooler, a light, temp/humidity meter and make your own for the price of this thing. You’ll have more stability monitoring your own temp.

Mine is older model. I was having a hard time to set the temperature did not have a very good hatch. It did well before but started acting up some. I use a stc 1000 and with the built in rheostat of the little giant to control temp. Use towels over it to help control heat, well mine kind beat up.
Works alot better now.
