Is this a good incubator?

Title says it all. Finally considering taking the plunge and moving onto hatching. What do people use here?

The auction does not say whether or not it is controlled by a thermostat. Look into that before you buy it.

1602N has a thermostat:

i use a hovabator 1588 and have to say it holds a steady temp once you get it set to what you want. i have mine set on 4 and it holds the temp at 100.6 day or night this is what it is. i am very satisfied with how it works. i have the 1611 turner which makes everything alot better now. i had 2 LG and got rid of them faster than i got them. good luck

I bought this exact same kit from this person. It arrived on time and in good shape. I have already hatched chicks in it and it has been very good to me. The egg turner was a big score, turning eggs sucks.

Bought it. Came to 85.00 with shipping. Doesn't seem too bad for a fan incubator with an auto turner

You will love this bator! Be sure to get a good thermometer and hygrometer. I recommend getting a hygrometer from a cigar shop. Very accurate and easy to read through the peep windows and it actually fits into an empty egg slot on the turner. I got one on Ebay for $6. Can't wait to see your pics. Plus the Hova-bator will last forever. Mine was handed down from my Dad, all original model from 1986.
