Hovabator incubator question

[MRNpoultry]

We are going to get a hovabator incubator soon. And was wondering which model is the best out of these three models.

2362N--Circulated Air Hova-Bator
1602N--Thermal Air Hova-Bator
1583--Hova-Bator, Circulated Air Picture Window

And these turners -

1611--Automatic Egg Turner w/ 6 Universal Egg Racks
1610M--12VAC Auto Egg Turner with 6 Universal and 6 Quail Egg Racks

Thanks

I have two of the 1602N and love them. I had an LG and threw it out as it wouldn't hold temps for anything. If I buy any more table tops I would go for the one with the picture window and fan. I would love to see in mine better especially during hatches.

edited to add that I have the egg turning that fits my model. It came with chicken egg size and I ordered the racks for quail eggs. Easy to change out and have also run chicken and quail together. easily.

I have the 1583 with the picture window and the turner. I really like it, no problems from the first day of setting it to the right temp and humidity runs perfect. I've hatched over 300 chicks in it this year.

Whats makes the 1602N different than the 2362N. Is the 1602N just a new model of 2362N with a picture window?

Anyone?

No, the 1602 is a still air bator (no fan)...the 2362 is a circulated air (has a fan). Trust me, the fan makes a big difference.

Chickenboy8- Hi! I have the 2362N. It works great! I haven't had a lot of temp problems. I think I have the 1610 eggturner- yellow? came with the quail turner, this is it's 2nd year and still no problems. Sometimes however you have to be careful how you pick it up, it comes undone in places but you can put it back.

It seems to me that one I was looking at was not big enough to use a goose turner in but I can't remember which one. I have a older hova-bator that isn't tall enough. Can,t find the number on it and the box has diappeared? MMMmm! Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone

I decided to get the 2362N and the auto egg turner with 6 universal and 6 quail egg racks.

Good choice. You will be an incubating fool like the rest of us before you know it. sI'm sure that hatching chickens is even more addictive than having chickens.
