I have a set of eggs in my LG forced air, without turner, due on the 24th. Originally, I set 35 button eggs, had to remove 10 infertiles and 5 are unknowns, the other 20 look good. The incubator took awhile to get set up. I bought it used, and I had no manual, so the *RTFM* doesn't apply, lol. Anyways, I did adjust it twice through incubation. Basically, if it dropped a little low, I left it alone, but if it went a little high, I tinkered. At one point in time, it was at 97.something and another time at 102.something. I am a bit disappointed with it, but, honestly, I think it will still be good to use as a hatcher. The temperature range was similar to my dimmer method, which was a whopping $12 vs $40 if you buy a still-air at TSC. But, other than the hassles of watching it, I can't really say much else, because like I said, my hatch is due in four days.
On the other hand, my Hovabator 1588 w/auto turner came yesterday, and I already put my eggs into it. It was up to temperature within the hour and was stable to .1F for a few hours, despite ambient changes in the room. I didn't have to muck with it or anything, just a quick assembly to change racks, plugged everything in, added some water and waited, then added my eggs.
