The only reason I have this one is cause my parents bought it for me for Christmas.

NAW THE OCT 20 IS A STEAL FOR HOME INCUBATOR. ITS CHEAP WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHAT YOU'D HAVE IN A FORCED AIR COOLER-BATOR WITH AUTOTURNER... AND THEN COMPARE THE RESULTS FROM EACH 1 SIDE BY SIDE... BRINSEA, BETTER HATCHES, BETTER DESIGN, LESS MONEY= FORCED AIR COOLER BATOR THATS LESSER HATCHES, LESS DURABLE DESIGN, MORE MONEY--- YOU DID ALRIGHT BUBBA

AND YOU GOT YOURS EARLY ENOUGH TO AVIOD THE BACKORDER

A breeder that I swapped roosters with had a few brinsea cabinets ad he said that he wouldn't use anything else. I sure wish I still had my Octagon.

Well, I'm not a "BRAND" suck up...but...

If you want a good incubator, then you will have to spend around/more than $99. If you want a (JUST AD WATER) (no turning) bator, then that will cost you...extra!

Sorry, but BRINSEA, may be of higher quality than the styrobators, but they are in the same class, and automation, is the same (EXTRA) cost.

Around $200 for anything with any level of automation.
Of course...anyone with a (HAND) can save $50, but that''s just me.

My Jumbo Brown hens pecked the eyes out of the roo. Mean, mean girls. Why would they do that?

 

[Robo]

Probably because they were tired of being harassed.

Since quail don't carry a purse I'd say that was their best bet....

TRUE AND FALSE JOE... YES THE BASE MODEL STILL REQUIRES HAND TURNING, BUT WITH THE BASE BRINSEA OCTAGON MODELS IT IS ACCOMPLISHED BY SIMPLY ROLLING THE WHOLE UNIT ON TO THE NEXT FLAT --- THEY ARE FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, OCTAGON SHAPED TUBES. ONCE LOADED WITH EGGS IN ORDER TO HAND TURN 1 OF THESE ALL YOU DO IS ROLL IT BACK AND FORTH ON THE FLAT SPOTS... SO NO MORE OPENING THE BATOR AND HAND TURNING EVERY SINGLE EGG AND DISRUPTING THE ENVIRONMENT INSIDE THE BATOR. AND YES THEY MAKE AN AUTOMATIC TURNING CRADLE THAT THE UNIT SITS IN AND IT WILL TURN THE UNIT FOR YOU AND YOU ARE CORRECT IT ADDS EXPENSE TO THE TOTAL PRICE. I HAVE THE TURNING CRADLES AND LOVE THEM... BUT NOT THAT I AM LAZY OR ANYTHING... I SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO HAND TURN THEM. FOR SOMEONE LESS OVERWORKED THAT HAD THE ABILITY TO INCORPORATE HAND TURNING INTO THEIR DAILY LIVES THE CRADLE WOULD BE AN UN NECESSARY ADDED EXPENSE
