I saw reviews for that one on Amazon that says it won't hold a steady temp. If I were you I'd buy the most expensive one you can afford. High end incubators are always in high demand and the resell value is really high. I bought an R-Com 20 Pro, it cost about $700 but is totally automatic with rock solid temps and humidity:
For a few hundred less you can get the one without all the fancy programming so you'd have to change the settings on the last three days of incubation, but it would still hold steady temps and humidity:
Keeping the temperature is easy, even low end models will do that with ease, but keeping the humidity spot on is troublesome for nearly all incubators in the low end. You want something that you can exactly dial in and set and forget. Otherwise you'll be losing a lot of babies dead in the shell or coming out deformed, not something fun to deal with.
Here's a photo of the $700 RCom 20 Pro. Nearly everyone here on this forum dreams of owing one of these! With this model you will never have to worry about having the right temp and humidity, and you can change from chicken to 'duck' or 'pheasant' or whatever with a touch of a button and just hit 'start'!
There are other high end cabinet incubators out there too if you are looking to hatch more than a few eggs at a time. Most people buy an incubator and a hatcher, for a total of about $2,000.
Thank you! Wow, those are some REALLY nice incubators! Unfortunately I my price range is very low. This would be my first real incubator so honestly as long as it holds it temps and holds humidity decently I'm happy. I wouldn't be hatching all that much, probably 10-15 eggs once a month.
Brinsea has some on sale and if you put in LABOR all caps in the coupon code you can get an additional 10% until Sept 15th. I just hatched my first hatch with the Brinsea Eco 20 and had 100% hatch! Very easy to use and holds the temp perfect.
