I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews - those folks are doing it wrong.In our modern "push a button and forget" society, we think that everything should be 100% automated. If you want that, buy the $500 incubator. This one is pretty simple but is easy to control the temperature and humidity with great accuracy.Is your temperature all over the place as some reviewers are writing? SEND IT BACK and get another one. Amazon has a 30 day return window - send it back! Upwards of 10% of ALL products out of China have poor quality control. Your;s is broken? Don't cry, send it back and get one from the 90% that work. Better yet, order a new one today and when it arrives, then send back the broken one.Get a thermometer and check the internal temperature (I used the laser thermometer). Is your incubator temperature off? Then adjust the temp up or down until the verified thermometer reads the correct temperature.For the humidity control - you simply have to upside down water beakers that introduce water to the incubator. More water = more humidity. There is also a little vent at the top; closed = less humidity, open = less humidity. Use the vent and water level to control your humidity. I read some reviews that said no matter what, their incubator was too dry - perhaps they live in an arid environment (Arizona comes to mind) - put a bit of painters tape around the base where the glass connects to the base to help hold in some of the humidity. Other reviewers said too much humidity - one reviewer said they put the lid on crooked and it landed right on the correct humidity. Correct answer! If yours is too humid, put a toothpick between the base and the glass to let some humidity out. Still too humid? Add another toothpick to the other side - work it until you get the humidity you need.We fiddled with the water and found our humidity point. We need to add just a little water every day but that's the price for the budget appliance. Our temperature read close to the laser so we're good there.All of the other features work well, the egg rotator is nice and slow, tumbles the eggs gently.For the price, we're quite pleased.We add eggs as we find them, I'm buying a 2nd to use when the eggs get to their final days so that I can have eggs of multiple dates in the primary machine and those in their final days are moved to the 2nd machine.

This was my first time trying to hatch chicken eggs. I spent a while looking at incubators before settling on this one and I am very happy with my purchase. The incubator is VERY well made and the instruction booklet is one the best I've read. I did have to keep the incubator in an ice chest due to the ambient temperature in the house but the device kept the proper temp, turning, and humidity like a pro. The fact that it holds 12 eggs was a bonus as well. The baby chicks are now about 10 days old and so cute. I would HIGHLY recommend this brand of incubator to anyone who wants to try and hatch chickens.

This incubator works amazing! Everything about it is simple and easy to use. The display is readable and the LED light for the candling is superb. The humidity works and does everything for you, all you have to do is candle and prep for your chicks to hatch. Highly recommend and worth the money.

This is a great incubator at an excellent price! Very easy to use, and has everything you need for hatching. Clear instructions, and excellent customer service. I am new to hatching, and my first eggs were very dark brown (Black Copper Marans), for which I was advised to use a dry hatching method for the first 18 days, meaning no added water. This resulted in the humidity alarm going off every 2 hours since humidity had to be below 40%. We kept the incubator in a secluded room, so the alarm was not a problem. Plus, I will need to increase humidity to over 50% during the last 3 days, so will use both water bottles to adjust accordingly. I also plan to use this incubator for all of my other (non-Marans) hatches, so the alarm will actually help to alert if humidity gets too low. Customer service was immediately responsive to my Qs. I especially like the way the egg turner rotates in a circle to fully turn the eggs unlike other incubators in this price range that only rock the eggs back and forth. 14/18 eggs candled viable so far at day 8; 5 stars if most hatch!

Really good price for what it is. It is really good at insulating the outside conditions from the inside. I live in a very humid climate where the relative humidity is higher than what is needed for incubation. This incubator managed to create the perfect humidity for it. I even used a separate thermometer and hygrometer to verify that it was correct and it shows it’s very accurate. Very easy to assemble the instructions are very try clear. The automatic turner works really well. The candler also seems useful. I’ll have to see how many eggs hatch!
