Well crud.......the bills are paid, the kids are on Spring Break so that means less money driving to school (an expensive thing at my house), no school lunch money, I even sent my husband extra to Turkey to make sure he had fun money....and I STILL have enough to get this thing! I have been pinching EXTRA hard lately and it shows. Didn't the ad say this was a limited time sorta thing? I fear an order may be placed from North Central Arkansas. *sigh*

Is the shipping charge reasonable there?

Not really the shipping is about what I saved because it was on sale. I think 42.00 to NC. Total was around 192.00 with the turner.

Maybe once everyone gets theirs we should start a new hatching thread.​

Hi Everyone,
I have been researching incubators,and it sounds like the Brinsea is really the best option for the money.
I just got off the phone with Brinsea,however I got a guy in the warehouse,and it appears there is the 20,which starts at 99 dollars,and can be bought with the turner,and then teh advanced,which is in the mid 350 range. The differnce that I can see is the humidity readout etc.This being my first incubator,I have been reading the forums like crazy,and it seems humidy is so important,and something alot of people struggle with. So now Im worried about buying the regular model without the humidity controls etc.
The advanced goes out of my 200 dollar spending limit.
Any comments?
Thanks!
Amy

no reason to spend another few hundred dollers just for humidity , just get a couple humidity gauges theres one they sale at wall mart that people rave about then you can get a analog or whatevver you all the normal ones , calabrate them both mark down any diffrences they have and then go for it. That will cost you maybe 20 bucks

I don't know of any incubator you can get under $200 with a built in humidity readout. As the above poster said, most of us incubating just get a humidity gauge. Comparing this to a styrofoam .. I would get this, it will last longer and be SOO much easier to clean . That is the worst job with styrofoam... cleaning..

So I have an LG but the turner broke and I dont like it, so I was going to buy the Hovabator Genesis 1588.
So would this be better than the hovabator genesis?
And for anyone who has a brinsea, is it easy to hand turn the eggs or would you suggest the autoturn cradle?
