Hey All,
Can I get some input on what matters if you were to either buy a new incubator or recommend one to a friend? I am particularly focused on which features matter and at what costs. Full disclosure: I hope to design a home-use focused incubator that can be the leading combination of features and benefits plus price, and I have my own concept of what that should look like.
In hopes of spurring conversation I have listed below what I would do if I had no input. Can you please offer some critiques?
