yes it is.

I dropped 1 tray in mine and use it to hatch in so if there are eggs of different dates in there I can continue to turn the 2 top trays and put the due dated ones in the non turning tray .

mine doesn't get much use these days...I have over 12 different incubators . 6 of which are GQF sportsman.

Will the 800 work as good

Thanks deerman,
We are picking it up today.

Can the old thermostat be replaced with the new version?
