Well with it being Sat. Afternoon, it may be awhile before you get many replies. I have heard many good things about the GQF.
I myself don't own one..I prefer to build my own..I just don't have the kind of money it takes to buy a GQF..
Mine work just as well for about a 1/3 the cost..
So anyway just keep checking in. But like I said it may be late tonight, and you may have to ask again like tomorrow..

Honestly, if I could have had a GQF to model an incubator after, I would have built my own and made a couple changes. Better insulation, and I would have put a fan and heating element top and bottom...if you can get one of the bigger fans out of a refrigerator that went bad, you can get everything else you need to build a nice cabinet incubator for around $60-$75.....I would also put a small door in the top so you can open that to add water, instead of opening the big front door. There is a guy on ebay, from over in western oklahoma that builds and sells some pretty nice incubators for around $250.....he has some cool ideas on his as well...

I have a little over a hundred in mine this time but I had a lot of stuff. I would post some pic's but I am saving them for the next build your own contest..
See here is one thing that most people want but I don't like them..and that is an auto turner..I have had them go bad and most of the time you don't know until it is to late..everything is over easy..if you get my drift.. We don't travel much anymore so it works good for us..
Just my 2cents worth..and believe me you get what you pay for
