Why don't LG's work?

[tony garza]

I really think that LG's quality control has been lacking. I have three and the one oldest one (over 10 years old) is the best. The other ones are less than three years old and both are not worth using. Temps not constant is the biggest issue. I added a fan and it only lasted a year. In a pinch, I use the "old reliable" LG. I was lucky to pick up a spoertsman set for $300 recently.

I just bought one a couple of months ago and on the 7th of march had 29 little fuzzy butts hatch so Im not complaining.

I think it's because the thermometer is junk. If you buy a good thermometer you have a better chance to keep it on track,

I like the thermometer, they just need to be checked with a medical or lab thermometer for the difference. The only problem is they break easy, wish I had a couple more.

I've got 18 chicks that think mine worked just fine!

Looks like you have your answer. More people find that they work than those who don't, which leads me to my conclusion, that some of them just must be lemons. I suppose if I got a bad one, I would be complaining too, just like I do about my Dell computer. I would never encourage anyone to buy a Dell! But my LG works great, so I have no problem recommending one, but beware you could end up in the minority of people who get one that is just junk!

Wow, it seems like I'm making a pit stop at TSC this evening for a new bator and turner!

I've had 2 of them since 2007 and they do fine for me. I even hatch call ducks and geese in them.
