Brower Top Hatch Incubator, auto turn, dishwasher safe, forced air, holds a variable amount of eggs.
$125 plus shipping


Hi,
We were looking for an incubator and I searched for info here and found some info. There was a post where you mentioned you didn't really like the BTH, why? Is it a pretty good one or what were the issues? I thought it might be a good one to start with if anything for the cleaning side of things, great to wash it in dishwasher,

Have you sold this one? If not what is your bottom dollar on it including shipping? I found them on this site for $119.40

Any info appreciated since we're looking for one and with so much info on them I am SOOOOOOo confused about them.
Thanks in advance!!
Take care,
Ang

I don't like mine, but I don't have a room that's warm enough for optimal operation. They really need to be in a room that's around 70 and we keep our house at about 63. I used bubble wrap, but you can buy an insulating blanket from Brower if you like. After I put the bubble wrap on and a towel over half the top, it works, but I'm getting a Sportsman and don't need the extra hassle of checking bubble wrap and towel placement.

I would also recommend hand turning as the turner doesn't always turn the eggs properly, or at least marking them and turning the ones that don't get turned. Yet another thing I don't really have time for. I have used all three of my incubators with success, but the Brower is my least favorite. Once I figured out what didn't work, I could fix it. It helps to know what you are getting into before you buy it.


It was supposed the be the "prefect incubator" and I paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $350 when this first came out. If I had known then what I know now, there's no way I would have bought it for that much!!

I like the styrofoam better, the turners work like they are supposed to, and they don't need extra insulation. The only downfall is clean up.

That being said, if you are willing to check and recheck and check again, then you can have good results with the Brower. I'm usually gone about 11-13 hours every day, I just don't have the time to make sure the bubble wrap isn't slipping or the towel didn't come off more than once a day.

These are only being sold b/c I'm getting a sportsman and the hubby said I can't have all the incubators. I'm keeping my still air and turner, and selling the other two. I have often had all three running- I just don't like the extra effort of the Brower, especially since I paid so much for it. It was supposed to work as it was not "add this add that" and that's why I don't like it. I guess I expect to get what I pay for

The least I can take on the Brower is $100 plus shipping. I just paid WAY too much for it to take less than that. And yes, cleanup is much easier with the Brower, but the Brower annoys me.

Whew, I'm done now!

If you follow the steps I outlined, yes it's a good bator. I just don't think for the price I paid for it, I should HAVE to go through the extra steps

You need:
A warm steady temped room
insulating blanket or heavy duty bubble wrap
the ability to check it several times a day
the ability to mark and hand turn eggs when needed
the ability to not get annoyed at the extra steps
