Need advice for new incubator

[yoopergirl]

ok I'm hoping I can get some advice from folks who have used some of the different incubators. I currently have a brinsea mini advance incubator. I'd like to upgrade to a larger incubator. One that can hatch 18 or more eggs. I'm planning on spending $300 to $400. Would you recommend a larger brinsea or is there another manufacturer I should be looking at? I've seen some cabinet models that start around $450 but I don't know how reliable they are. I've also seen ones that start at $1000 and I know I don't want to spend that much! Some advice would be great. I'm still researching and just looking to see what other manufacturers are worth a look. Thanks

A large Brinsea sounds good to me! Good luck!

I don't know any other good types of incubators.

Fair enough

. I do like how idiot proof they are. I work long days so I can't be checking temp and humidity all day. Thanks for the input.

Where are you located and how much do you want for the 190?
