  • 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

  • This is the best incubator we have ever used!
Style: Not Connected
This incubator does everything for you and takes away the stress from incubating. It monitors the humidity in its own and pulls in water when needed. It has an automatic egg turner that can be set at different time intervals. So far, we have had a 100% hatch rate with this incubator!

  • Rock solid but with durability issue
Style: Not Connected
Best incubator I've used in decades of poultry raising. The Brinsea is rock solid on temperature control. It's excellent on humidity for most of incubation period and decent to good on late stage humidity. The latter is one of those get-to-know the device issues. And the humidity for 7/8th of the process is flawless. I am in my fifth year of using my Brinsea 56 Ex. So my review is unusual in that it's a rather long-term evaluation. Two maintenance issues are a pain, but only one of them is serious. The more minor issue is the need to replace, every year, the short internal humidity tube that winds around the capstan pump. I get anxious every time, but it's not that big a deal. Especially if you refresh your memory with one of Brinsea's excellent YouTube videos. I guess I am getting old and don't want to fiddle! And for the price, I wish I didn't have to. Which brings me to the cleaning issue and the related serious durability problem. To continue to see through the top, you must clean off the chick down that collects on the inside of the top. Wiping off the down is easy. But doing this requires you to remove six small screws that hold the inner liner below the top. Four of the screws are tiny and do not unscrew easily, even with a small screwdriver I've dedicated to this task. Furthermore, the screws insert into plastic housings that join the top and the inner liner together. In the fifth year/fifth time I cleaned, two of those housings cracked, one seriously. Probably Brinsea would say it's an over-tightening issue. And it probably is. But it's uber challenging to always stop the screws perfectly. And it frustrates me that there aren't small wingnut style bolts or some such instead of these tiny screws. Most of all, there should be a steel sleeve in the plastic for the screws. This year, my inner liner appears to be sagging in one corner because the screw won't hold in the cracked housing. The key role of the inner liner seems to be to keep chicks away from the fan. But since I hatch in separate baskets or mesh bags, for pedigree purposes, I hope I can remove the inner liner without much consequence. Otherwise, this mostly great, expensive incubator is shot after five uses. ... 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

  • 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
