Little Giant vs Hovabator

[FenDruadin]

I have a hovabator incubator with circulating air & egg turner, but now I want a hatcher so I can run multiple batches at a time. The Little Giant is available locally for $42, whereas I'd have to order the Hovabator for about $60 plus shipping. For the hatcher I don't need it to circulate or turn, obviously, so is there any reason why I shouldn't just get the Little Giant? Thanks!

You still have to fight getting the temps steady with the LG....I'd spend the extra and get another Hovabator. I have 4 hovas that I incubate and hatch in and it was a happy day when I drop kicked my old LG into the trash can. I know there are some who like them, but I'm not one of them!!

Thank you! That is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Now I know why I need to spend the extra 20+ bucks.

I've never had a problem with my LG, I set it up in the same place everytime and within 45 minutes it regulates. Once it regulates, I don't touch the temp knob and the next time I get ready to use it, it's pretty much there.
