I am thinking about the possibility of investing in a cabinet incubator. There are a number of 'Sportsman" incubators around this area and people swear by them.
However I was checking out the Brinsea cabinet incubator, and it has some features that I find very appealing, like a "cool down" feature were you can set it to "cool down" when hatch times comes along and there is a fair amount of heat being generated by the eggs.. The brinsea ad said that there is temperature alarms, if the air temperature gets too hot or too cold in a room and effects the incubator.
I was reading a "Sportsman" advertisement, and it said that the interior surface is coated with melamine.. That got my attention, melamine is the "Plastic" that was added to milk in China ( to up the protein test results), a few years back, and poisoned a bunch of people... I am not sure I want an incubator that is coated in melamine...
Anyways, all you folks that have used either the "sportsman" or Brinsea cabinet incubator, I would like to hear-- what are the pros and cons of each incubator?? which one is better?? Or is there another cabinet incubator that you feel is better than either brinsea or sportsman??
Thanks!
