Well it's really not about the cost, well maybe some but think of it this way, most of you have tried to do your research and then after reading the thousands of horror stories you still bought one. Now WTS almost all of these post require you to buy, get something, modify, do many different things in order to just make the thing work, how cost effective is that ??.
These box type incubators are mainly for small hatches and beginers and that's just great but if your just starting out hatching and you buy this thing for your first try, have all these problems, try and fix the problems, how is that helping. Most will get fed up and give up, we have all seen those post. I do understand that you can just walk in and buy one retail over the counter at any farm store and the better bators have to be bought online, but really. I am not being negitive it's just about the facts, think of it this way.............. if you are in the market to buy a new car and do research and everybody tells you about this one car and how crappy it is, would you still buy it and depend on it to transport your family, I think not. Then why do the opposite when hatching chicks, makes no sense to me is all.

I do understand where you are coming from, but this is from where I am coming from. The little giant I am using is 5 years old and still works and hold humidity and temp rather well. My mom has a Toyota corolla, all she has done to that car is Tires, Oil, Brakes. If you look up Toyota Corollas there will people that love it and people that say they have had to fix everything on that car and it still will not run right. It all depends, you can buy a
brinsea and still have to buy an egg turner, the humidity pump and what ever else they have you can attach to it. Anymore we all can't afford to to spend $100's on incubators. Hence why there is a section on here for people that have made there own.
That's all!!
