Please let us know how it does for you. The recent reviews on Amazon are making me hesitate in ordering now. Would like to get one.

I didn't read those reviews, now i am worried. This is when i can hatch and have time to care for chicks so i really need it to work. Manna Pro seems.to have bought the company?

Yes it does look like Manna Pro bought it from a quick online search. I can't see when that happened to determine if that seemed to be around the time the reviews stopped being so good on average. Hopefully it will be great for you. I was ready to jump on ordering but when I saw the most recent reviews (for a while now) on amazon were a fair amount of complaints I have waited. Having said that it might be that people aren't writing good reviews right now since so many are sold. The reviews on Tractor supply are hit and miss. Tends to be more complaints there on most products vs good reviews so I tend to just add that to my research but not judge the product completely off that. It seems most things are a gamble anymore when buying. Everyone here seems to really be happy with it. I usually check most recent reviews on amazon before ordering things anymore. Gives me an idea of what currently is being complained about or all good reviews except the silly ones. I bet it will be fine.

I have the most recent model; I've had it for 3 yrs I think. I have had great hatch rates with my own eggs, and pretty decent with shipped eggs. You really have to have additional thermometers/hygrometers inside it to be sure the temp and humidity are correct (I use the govee with the app, they're great and affordable). The first year I used mine the temp and humidity were spot on, when I pulled it out the second year, I had to adjust the temp because it was off a couple degrees and monitor the humidity through the govees because the display on the incubator was off. It's a good incubator, and I'm not sorry I bought it, but you do have to manage it correctly, it's not a set it and forget it type of incubator. Last year I bought a different style where the eggs sit upright instead of on their side because I was getting some expensive shipped eggs, I love this thing and had a killer hatch rate! Anyway, point of all this, sometimes reviews can be deceiving. You've got to take a lot of things into consideration, do they know what they're doing, are they following the instructions, were the eggs shipped, were the eggs clean, etc. etc. I don't know about now, but when I bought mine there was a return window, so if you don't like it send it back. I hope that helps

I agree with you and do try and weed out reviews from people who don't know what they are doing. The concerning reviews for me are more things breaking or not functioning out of the box and not being able to get them taken care of from the manufacturer.
Incubators always lie. Always use something to double and triple check. I've been reading about the govee thermometers. An incubating quail course I took talked pretty highly of them. I'd like to get one but don't use apps like that.
Thanks for the tips and info on your incubator. Seems the ones with trouble are newer than yours.

NR360 was my first incubator and I could just say "Ditto" to everything above, including the Govee to verify as mine is off by 1.5 degrees F.

Then I got a Brinsea 56EX Automatic, and game over for me having the auto humidity. I now have four total incubators, thus, I can stagger hatches using one as the lockdown incubator. Only one out of all four of these incubators has the correct temp, so be sure to get a Govee or something akin to it to verify.

I still have the NR360 in the basement, for just in case. I am not disappointed in it whatsoever, I just like ones that have auto humidity way better.

I thought it was set and forget, im about 4 days in, and yes it said Manna Pro on the box. My testing thermometers won't fit so I guess i should get a govee?

I would get some kind of reliable thermometer/hygrometer in there just to be safe. Unless you're doing a dry hatch, water needs to be added regularly to maintain humidity (this is also dependent on your climate and if you have central air).

I have central heat but it is off, I am using an oil filled space heater - looks like an old radiator - mainly to stabilize temp in room at night. I heat with a woodstove in the rest of the house, but this room has weather strip on door edges so if I am doing stain or varnish the smell is confined and I don't kill my aquarium fish. There are also some plants in there, it's pretty warm and humid - about 77 degrees.
