Is Nurture Right 360 my best bet?

[BluebirdHomestead]

I’m looking for a fully automatic incubator that holds about 2 dozen eggs. I’m looking at the Nurture Right 360 since it’s so reasonable and fully automated, but are there any other ones I should be looking at? Can’t go much more than $150-$200 and 22 eggs is my minimum.

I am currently running 2 of them along with my brinsea and cabinet bator. I feel that they are one of the best incubators available in that price range. The other one that runs close is the incuview.
I have been running my 360 for a year off and on. I am currently using it as a hatcher. I have been happy with the way it holds the temp. My only complaint is the humidity controls, with the "a" channel filled it runs 50% humidity and with both a and b it runs over 70%. In my limited experience if I run the humidity at 50% for the first 18 days my eggs do not lose enough moisture and I have babies drowning at hatch. I have had some success only putting a small amount of water in the a channel every other day and allowing it to dry out. I do really like how well it holds the humidity for lockdown and hatching.
Sorry I rambled but I feel it's a good incubator for the money

Thanks so much for answering my post. Good timing too because now I’m debating between the 360 and the incuview. I’m so torn.

Have you read the thread on the incuview?
Here is one that compares the 2 and post 2 or 3? Will link you to the incuview thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/incubator-poll-nr360-vs-incuview.1300397/#post-21177827

Yep I think that post has me wanting an incuview. I think I’m gonna go that route and order it today.
