I've never used that kind. I would think a good thermometer and hygrometer would be necessary so you can make sure your temp and humidity are where they should be.
 
i think in general, most people think that hovabator's are better than LG's

also, most people, again, in general, find a forced air better than a thermal air
 
I thought about buying the same one. I was going to try the PC fan in the bator to make it forced air.
 
i have the hovabator 1602n to which a fan from incubator warehouse has been added. i'm in lockdown on my second hatch with it, for the second time, i'm using shipped eggs. the first hatch was at 50%, which i've read is about par for the course, i was hoping for more, but my fingers are still crossed on this second hatch.
 
That is the problem $ 150.00 without the egg turners. That is too rich for my blood.

I have the 1602n and hatch the stupid thing. Can't get temp over 99, so I use it just to hatch in. Go for something with a fan.

Incubator Warehouse has the Genesis 1588 (which has a fan) for $119.99. And save $5 with coupon code 5off25.

They also carry the turner. http://incubatorwarehouse.com/index.php/hova-bator-egg-turner-chicken.html

Cheapest
place i've found the genesis for. I have 2 and love them. You don't really need the turner, you can just hand turn or tilt the incubator a couple times a day.

Or they have the 1588 +turner for $160 http://incubatorwarehouse.com/index.php/hova-bator-genesis-1588-starter-kit.html?___store=default
