I was fighting humidity control on a cheap no name incubator which was leading to less than ideal hatch rates. After purchasing this Brinsea there was a noticeable change for the positive. Checking the humidity and temperate control out of the box using a calibrated temperature monitor and hygrometer shows it is highly accurate. I tested the recovery rate of the humidity control and it operates very efficiently given the simplicity of the pump system. This is definitely not the cheapest option out there but the quality in design is evident and the stress free use makes up for it in my case.

This thing has been almost a total joke. First, I received a unit that had been pillaged for it's power supply, Amazon was good to make this right. Secondly, this unit was bought to control humidity. This is the ridiculous part, it doesn't even come close. What it does is allow water to flow uncontrollably all over the place. This is incredibly lame for something that costs this much. Unfortunately, I'm over a waterfall in a barrel as I can't just shut it down with eggs that are halfway mature.

Set Up is a bit confusing. Had to watch a few videos on YouTube to get it right. That took a star off. Spent the extra money for a more accurate unit because hatching and turning goose eggs is almost impossible to stay on schedule. Also, A couple of months from now, bull snakes will be raiding the duck nests and we need a couple of hatches this year. The unit performs just as promised. Temps, humidity, turning intervals are very accurate. Once the pump tubing loop was figured out - as a left hander, I reversed in tibial direction of looping on water pump ( very ingenious design by the way), the unit works perfectly. Highly recommend. Start it a day or two before to make sure you're on target and to allow time to fix errors with the help from videos. The proof will be how successful the hatches are in 15 more days. UPDATE: Hatched out 5 goose eggs successfully (3 were infertile). Duck eggs and chicken eggs should be a breeze to hatch. Once set up, it frees up so much of my time and takes a lot of guess work. I’m new to hatching (goose) eggs but no matter what the breed, keep a sheet of paper to track the days, when to turn of rotating or candle the eggs. Highly recommend. A bit expensive, but very accurate and realize.
