Has anyone tried this incubator?

Im looking at incubators to try to hatch a few eggs...

Has anyone tried this one??

Don't buy that. It's terrible, and that's why it's so cheap. If I remember correctly, there's no way to add water, and I know for sure there's no way to turn the eggs.

Nope...A bit too cheap and possibly won't be accurate enough..

Okay, I think you're supposed to turn the eggs yourself.
Does anyone have any ideas of another?

The cheapest premade incu ive found that doesnt kill all the eggs is a hovabator. It was cheaper online than instore. It did still have cold spots. And it may need extra ventilation. But i did manage to hatch in it. The one you asked avout i waz getting temperature swings up to 110 in that and i couldnt get it to stabilize.

If you want a good quality incubator, you're gonna have to spend the money for one - unfortunately, this is definitely a case of 'you get what you pay for'.

If you just want a small one, you could get a Brinsea Mini. They've pretty expensive though and only hold seven eggs.

If you are a little handy, you could easily make a good one by buying the Incukit Incubator Warehouse sells and mount it in a Styrofoam cooler. You'd have to hand turn the eggs, but if you don't mind that, it's a good option. An Incukit is what runs my emu incubator.

Or if you have $130 Tractor Supply sells a fully digital incubator called the Nurture Right that is very nice. I have one and love it.

I have this one, I have hatch my chicks in it without an issue two separate times. I not have tons of eggs in it just a few each time.
I haven't tried duck eggs yet

I turn the eggs myself, I don't have problem with the temp at all, it never fell or raised from the 100.5 I had it at.. oh wait there was one time the room got really cold and the temp dropped but I put a flannel blanket around it and it was fine brought the temp back up
As for the humidity I did have to add two small extra bowls of water in the incubator remove them if needed

I think it's a great incubator for the price
