The first one because it has a fan, the 2nd one does not have a fan.

Whatever you do don't ever, ever buy an LG regardless of the price. The ones your looking at are fine though.

Are they new or used that you're wanting to buy? Not bad at all if new. At Cutler Supply, here's their price for a new 2362 & turner: http://www.cutlersupply.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_24_28&products_id=193. Shipping is roughly $20.00 on top of the $115.85. I love my 2362, I have misc chicks hatching in mine right now. Good luck to you.

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

those are new prices

i think i will buy that one. i was going to buy the mini brinsea adv... should i go with that one. i will not be hatching 50+ eggs anytime soon. should i stick with the small one or just go big ??

 

[TaLani]

The 2362 will hatch up to 42 eggs. The Brinsea one you're talking about, is it the 7 or 20? It's always better to go bigger though IMHO. People who have hatched in Brinseas love them because you don't seem to have all the troubles like LG's or Hovas and they seem easier to clean. The Brinseas are wicked expensive, but most that have them say they are worth every penny. I've only had Hovas. Hope that helps ya.

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

the brinsea adv is 119.00 but it doesnt have a humidity gauge to regulate it. and it just has a thing on the outside of the incubator that you need to fill when it gets low. is that a good enough one? or should i just stick with the hova?!

the brinsea is the 7 egg holder.

totally agree with this! I had an LG and it killed all my first batch of serama eggs. I just picked up a Brinsea Octogon 20 Eco from their website. So far this thing is extremely stable! The temp stays right at 99.5 and humidity has been right around 50%. I've heard good things about hovas, but I really wanted to give the brinsea a shot!
