  • Reliable and easy to use
Style: Not Connected
I’m new to egg hatching and have now seamlessly hatched three separate batches of eggs thanks to this awesome incubator! It’s extremely easy to use (Brinsea’s YouTube setup video really helps), self manages and provides consistent results. I know it more expensive than alternative brands, but well worth it for the quality and consistently. It provides a very steady temperature, manages rotating the eggs on its own and adds whatever water is needed to keep the humidity consistent (simple attach an ice cream bucket of water to the provided tubing). I literally went on vacation for two weeks and came back to well developed eggs ready to hatch! Awesome and well worth the money for someone who wants a low maintenance experience with all the fun of hatching eggs! ... show more

  • This upped my hatch rate!
Style: Not Connected
I LOVE this incubator! I will never buy another brand at this point. I was having such issues with humidity and temp in my NR360s, and when I use this, perfect every single time! The auto humidity feature is amazing, its really a set and forget situation. I do wish the incubator came with more replacement sponges, but you only get the one. Mine came without the power cable as well, I called brinsea and they sent one out immediately via fedex! I was so impressed with their customer service! My ONLY complaint about this is that it can be hard to clean the top, you have to unscrew it all and clean each section, but I'm sure they will improve that with time. All in all, extremely happy with my purchase. ... show more

  • Great, but still a few issues
Style: Not Connected
This is a great/expensive/solid-built incubator. We're using it mainly for hatching goose eggs with goose trays. We're just using it for the initial setting phase, not the final hatching phase. But there are a few issues: 1) When eggs trays are not set in the perfect positions, egg turner is not smooth, loud, and could move the lid, thus losing humidity. 2) Water pumping works, but quite thin tube and slow running. 3) LCD screen is too small, old fashion controls, designed for low material cost, not user friendly. 4) No egg candler. 5) Egg turning motor is installed on the top lid, this design is the root cause of having lid not in perfectly closed position after turning, which can result in losing humidity. For these issues, we're buying other incubators when we need to expand our capacity. Great products still need improvements to stay competitive. ... show more

  • Incredible hatch rate
Style: Not Connected
We bought this almost 6 months ago. It has literally run nonstop until today. We have hatched geese, chickens, guineas, and peachicks with terrific hatch rates on all. Highly recommend this product from our experience. Super easy to use and not loud at all. We removed the pipped and hatching before full hatch because the trays are not extremely chick friendly but worth every penny. ... show more

  • Set it and forget it
Style: Not Connected
When we were new to the wonderful world of breeding and showing poultry a couple years ago, we went down the learning curve road, and bought the styrofoam incubator and the 360. After struggling with lots of dead chicks at lockdown, poor hatching rates, and the inability to maintain constant humidity levels, we bought one of these 56s used. It was a game changer. We tried to use the 360 as a hatcher only, but that resulted in lots of lost chicks still lost at lockdown. These are not inexpensive, but compared to my losses in shipped eggs and losing chicks from my champion birds, the cost balances out imo. We purchased a second 56 last year, and used our original one as a hatcher. We've outgrown it, and I've just ordered my third. They are so easy and reliable, and my first two hatches this year were 100%. My third hatch was 90%, and these were all test hatches from different breeding pens. We're in the thick of hatching season now, and I'm looking forward to having another to have enough room to get my eggs going and to have larger hatches all at once. ... show more

  • Will not sustain temperature
Style: Not Connected
Initially, I thought this was the best thing since sliced bread. I set it up, ran it a few days prior to monitor humidity and temperature and it didn't seem like it budged. On day 10, I candled my duck eggs. I put the cover back on, ensured it was tight (cover is heavy and a little awkward to handle) and the high-temperature alarm sounded. I checked everything out again, put the cover back on and it sounded again and kept climbing. the temperature reached an egg killing temperature of 120 degrees. I turned the machine off, and let it sit overnight. The next day I attempted to use it again and it reached 115 degrees before I shut it off. The product is defective. I'm not sure what happened but it's unusable at those temperatures for poultry eggs. I contacted the company and heard no reply (but to be fair it was Saturday morning at 2 AM). I also requested a replacement from Amazon since the product was defective. I believe this is a good incubator, but there is sometimes one person that gets a bad product. Unfortunately, that person was me. If the second one does the same thing, I will not repurchase this particular product. By the way, with temperatures that high humidity will not be correct either. **update** Brinsea did connect with me the following Monday and wanted me to troubleshoot with them but I already sent it back via UPS. Tuesday I received the replacement from Amazon and so far it's holding temperature and humidity. ... show more
