There are tons of people purchasing this incubator at the fantastic price it is currently at. It is giving me buyer's remorse because I just purchased the 1588 Hovabator Genesis with turner two weeks ago. However, I love the 'plug and play' effect of the Hovabator Genesis. It has maintained a constant temperature and humidity is simple to control as well. I understand that the Brinsea you are considering has a water well which may be easier than trying to load water into the 1588 tray. I think either are good choices, however Brinsea seems to be the cadillac of small bators.

I have had the Octagon 20 advanced with the auto humidity pump since last year.

It is very reliable for humidity. Found I needed to turn the temp up to 37.7 or 37.8 to get a 37.5 temp inside. It cannot be re-calibrated so I just turned it up a little.

It is a pretty tight space for hatching so I hatch in an old styrofoam.

All in all... very easy to use and very reliable..

Set it and forget it.
