    Now that Im looking at Incubators,Im confused. I noticed that alot of the hova bators are very similar. Whats the difference with the 1582,1583,1586,2362? Any suggestions on what I should get and where I can get the lowest price? My brain is scrambled from looking online at all the options! I like the 1588 with the fan/ auto turner.Do they have a model that is the same as the 1588, but with smaller windows? Where can I get the very best price for one online?Thanks!

    I am totally new to hatching and just did my first in the 1588 genesis..it was awesome, easy to see, temps were perfect and with the water trays that are set to keep humidity. Like the middle tray filled keeps 50% and then the two middle trays keeps 70%... can't get any easier than that!

    All the Hova bators are pretty good. Just make sure you follow the instructions. If you do not have the instructions, you usually can get them online.
