Genesis Hova Bator?

[jeremy]

I've only been told good things about this model incubator, I found this incubator online, however it isn't listed by model type. Is this the Genesis? Or does somebody have a link to this incubator?

They're selling it for $159.99.

I checked out the website, it is cheaper than at Randall Burkey.

Something struck me though that I hadn't realized before- the incubator is made out of "foam". At least that's what category it's listed under says. Like styrofoam? Are these effective? I don't know if I can spend $150 on a styrofoam box and feel comfortable with myself.

I thought they were made out of a plastic material. Who knew?

I've got three genesis 1588 incubators and one 1590 which is the older model and they all work great.

I love my 1588, it might be Styrofoam but if you take care of it it'll last you forever...

ive had bad experiences with styrofoam incubators

Since I got my 1588 w/turner... pluged it in and it went to 99.1 and has been there for over 1 week steady now

I have two 1588's. (I use one as the hatcher). They are wonderful, steady, reliable, and the styro part that you don't like---that keeps the heat very stable.
I had a wafer type styro bator, and do not suggest them. The wafer heating element is too hard to regulate. My next incubator will be the Brinsea.

same thing i did i put the styrofoam incubator away and got a brinsea and i dont regret it

I had a LG foam bator, and it was a piece of poo. I LOVE my Hovabator Genesis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great hatches from it so far!!!!
