Really .... you get what you pay for

The only half decent tiny incubator is the R-Com, but it costs over $100.

You will find it very tough to maintain stable temperature and humidity is this ..... incubator, but you might be very dedicated, and very lucky, so who knows

Don't let it put you off. Decent incubators can be made from stuff most of us have around the house .... way better than that one.

%50 should get you a Hova ..... etc, etc

You want some good advise don't buy some cheap styrofoam bator and once you start incubating you'll wish you had one that incubated a crap load more than 3 at a time. There are many home DIY bators that i have heard that work good. I run a 1502 Sportsman and never regreted it. If that is out of your price range then look into the DIY bators. I hope this helps.
