I’ve got 2 of the janoel 12 models and they’re definitely tricky when you first start it up. I would for sure recommend a couple test runs with non valuable eggs first... and a separate thermometer/hygrometer is a must; the gauge on them is awful and never to be trusted. That said, they were the only incubators that fit my criteria within my budget (if I were to try to get an nr360 it would cost me close to $500 with shipping and exchange) and I’ve figured out the quirks on both of mine and usually get decent-excellent hatch rates. Every once in a while I have a terrible hatch but since all my eggs are shipped I doubt that it’s the incubator that’s entirely at fault. 🤷🏼‍♀️
I also hand turn all my eggs so I can fit a lot more in than I could with the turner. I think at one point I had 23 chicken eggs in one of them. Lol.
it really depends on how much you’re willing to spend, the availability, and if you’re able to keep a close watch over it. I personally work full time and still have had pretty good success with mine, but I did work through probably 4 batches of eggs before I got a good handle on how it works.
