I like the incubator. My 13 year old daughter opened it immediately and set it up. The instructions are well-written and setup was simple. The incubator will hold several eggs and has two trays for different size eggs. We have 20+ quail eggs in the regular sized tray and room for more if we wanted.
The digital readout is easy to understand and keeps track of days - even when it loses power. Probably most important, there is a persistent alarm when a temperature or humidity parameter is out of tolerance.
I had one issue which was amplified because we kept the incubator on a bookshelf. We are not sure why, but when my daughter inserted a water bottle, the device leaked out and clean up was annoying. I actually don’t think this was a design problem though; probably operator error. I was impressed that even though the incubator was unplugged for several minutes, it kept the settings and record that the incubation was on day 3.
I don’t expect but 50% success on my first try, and I don’t think it would be fair to attribute hatching success to the incubator because they are not my eggs and I don’t know how they were handled. Even in perfect conditions it is an imperfect process. Just sharing my expectations. I’ll update the review if I find anything significant to report.
