Easy to use
This incubator gets the job done and is very easy to use. It does a really good job of turning the eggs to even out the heat within the eggs and my duck eggs have flourished in development since I switched to this incubator. Definitely recommend it. Easy for beginners as well.

Hatched 7 out of 8 chicks. DO NOT ADD COLD WATER! I
7 out of 8 chicks hatched. Rotation works, temperature control works. Humidity control is tricky. We followed the instructions, adding water few times. When baby chicks were out and fully dried, we took them and the shells out as quickly as possible to keep the humidity. I checked the humidity level by the steam on the wall. Made one mistake and got one chick killed. DO NOT ADD COLD WATER!!!! We added cold water when 2 chicks breaking and the incubator couldn’t keep the humidity. Their membrane dried out!!! Sad we lost one chick.Another tip: the cord comes off the incubator easily. Keep it from any animals/ children and make sure you check the cord on it regularly.

Get humidity gage before using this incubator
The temperature control is great with this incubator but humidity is not. It tells you to add water on certain slots on the bottom but you never know if you added enough water or too much.It took 2 days to receive the gage I purchased mean while I am afraid the humidity was way too high - must have added too much water. Let the air escape to let the humidity to go down but got too low where I had to add more water.It stayed low so kept adding more water until it read around 50%. Glad that the form-dorm came with the incubator to bring the temp up again quickly after opening the lid to check humidity gage and turn eggs some more.The turner must work good since I find some eggs upside down. It is my first experience with hatching so I don't know what I am doing but enjoying it and hoping to see few Quails hatch.

Meh! Not great hatch rate.
I used this incubator to hatch 11 fertilized eggs. Only three hatched and all three needed help to get out of their shell. The third one was too weak to live past three days. It appears as though they were unable to turn themselves inside their eggs to unzip the egg after piping. I followed the instructions and filled the water trays accordingly but I think the chicks were stuck to the membranes inside so they were unable to turn. I suspect it was because of uneven humidity. There was only ever condensation on the side with the fan. I turned the unit around thinking it might be the nearby window but the condensation did not change. In addition, I don't the egg turner is effective enough just moving the eggs back and forth every couple hours. That may also be why they were stuck to the membrane. There appear to be two vent holes on the bottom tray which I do not find to be effective for air but they make it easy to spill water from the water tray when trying to move the incubator. I would rather have a vent on top where I can see it and control it. I did not have a separate thermometer or hydrometer to place inside to confirm the temp and humidity so I can't say for sure if the temp gauge is accurate. There is no humidity gauge. I also feel like the unit is too short for the chicks considering the three that hatched were small birds and it looked like they could hit their head on the heating element. Unfortunately for me, the return date passed a week ago, otherwise I would be returning this unit.

Check thermostat against a good thermometer. Invest in a hygrometer
This incubator was better than expected. Took a few days to get the temperature right, also had to buy a hygrometer. The directions said it would hold 30+ quail eggs. Mine were Jumbo and it only held 24. I put 24 in a large incubator and 12 in the ez simply. With that said the large incubator had 12 of the 24 hatch for 50% hatch. The ez simply had 11 of the 12 for 99%. Happy, HappyUpdate: they don't sell parts. We need a new base tray and rack. They were not top rack dishwasher safe and warped. The only option is to purchase a whole new incubator. The top is still fine, but no way to use it. We will hope for replacement parts in the future...

Does not keep correct temp
Bought this to incubate eggs. Two times now I have failed and through it was the actual eggs. This time I put an extra thermometer in incubator and found that it was not actually heating to 37.5c and was almost 7 degrees off. Made sure it was sealed tight and still, not up to right temp. Had to raised the temp to almost "44c" to get it to be the correct temp per my secondary thermometer. Also, autoturn will work once when I turn it on, but then does not turn again. Have to manually turn. Disappointed in this incubator.

I had so many successful hatches I had to Buy another one to keep up.
This one was very easy even though everything I read online made it confusing with different temperatures and humidity levels and what not. I just kept adding water periodically and 28 Days later I had a bunch of ducklings hatch. I wish they made this one but bigger! I bought a second one to keep up with the demand of people wanting to buy ducklings.

Great but small
This is a fun little incubator. Temp is super stable, I'm using mine in the foam it came in. Has a fan and turner. It will really only hold 8 good sized eggs. The 12 would have to be bantam. I wish it was bigger but for the price I'll probably just buy a few and be able to have different hatches going.

Great incubator with a few tweaks
This incubator worked great! I had 8 out of 12 duck eggs hatch. My recommendations:- the egg turner doesn’t work very well, turn eggs 4 times/day by hand. I still used it to move the eggs back and forth for even heat distribution and to simulate the mother moving around in the eggs- by a separate hygrometer to measure the humidity. I found rolling a small thin dish cloth and placing it in the center of the bottom row, then filling that row with half way with water kept humidity around 55%. Filling just the middle row with water took humidity up to 65-70%. Once the ducklings hatch, humidity will go up to about 75% naturally- keep the styrofoam packaging (bottom and top) on the unit to help maintain the heat- use row dividers to separate eggs until just before lockdown, then remove the dividers so ducklings have room to push out of their shells and to move around after hatching while they fluff upGood luck!

DIGITAL HEAT & HUMIDY DISPLAY GAUGE DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY
1 DOZEN EGGS INCUBATED FROM 4 DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF CHICKENS & EITHER THE EMBRYO DIED AFTER 10-14 DAYS OR DIED 3 DAYS B4 HATCHING. I HOUSE ONLY 30 CHICKENS 2 BARR ROC ROOSTERS WHO ARE NOT ONLY PETS BUT ARE EXTREMELY HEALTHY. I ALREADY HAD AN INCUBATOR I HAVE USED FOR THE PAST 2 YRS SUCCESSFULLY BUT WANTED MORE CHICKS FROM MY LAYERS, SO I BOUGHT THIS INCUBATOR. I KNEW WHAT TO DO IN REGARDS TO INCUBATING EGGS. I DIDN'T TRUST THE MACHINE TO TURN THE EGGS & I TURNED THEM MANUALLY EVERY 2 DAYS. I CANDLED THEM EVERY FEW DAYS. I REGRETTABLY ASSUMED THE DIGITAL THERMOMETER WAS WORKING CORRECTLY & I ALSO ASSUMED MAYBE THE FIRST FEW EMBRYOS WEREN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO SURVIVE UNTIL I SAW IT HAPPENING MORE & MORE. HOWEVER, IT WASN'T UNTIL 3 DAYS AGO THAT I BOUGHT A HEAT & HUMIDITY DETECTOR TO TEST. THE HUMIDITY WAS WELL BELOW WHAT THE DIGITAL GAUGE SAID AND THE TEMP WAS 7 DEGREES HIGHER. I DISTRIBUTED THE SAME AMT OF EGGS IN EACH UNIT AT THE SAME TIME & THE OTHER INCUBATOR 98% SUCCESSFUL HATCHES. I'M FURIOUS OVER THIS MOSTLY BCZ THESE LITTLE CREATURES SUFFERED, ESPECIALLY THE FULLY FORMED ONES GETTING TO THE POINT OF HATCHING DEAD. LET ME MAKE CLEAR I KNOW WHAT & WHEN TO ADD WATER AN THE PROPER TEMPS TO SUCCESSFULLY HATCH CHICKS. IT'S WAS A TERRIBLE WASTE OF LIFE. I BLAME MYSELF FOR NOT TESTING THESE GAUGES MYSELF EARLIER ON, INSTEAD OF BELEIVING THE MANUFACTORS PRODUCT WAS ACCURATE AS THEY CLAIMED.

Good value, easy to set up and use
Seems like a good little unit. I have a dozen chicken eggs incubating right now (5th day). The device easily keeps the right temperature and periodically rotates the eggs by sliding the tray. It displays the temperature, but not the humidity level. It has alarms if the temperature varies too much, but it has been able to easily hold the right temp.Easy set up, factory settings were exactly what I needed so there was no need to try to configure the settings at all. I just added my eggs and turned it on. Humidity level is manually achieved by adding water into the base tray. I ended up putting a tiny digital thermometer/hydrometer into the tray to be able to more easily monitor the humidity level.This device could be improved if it also was capable of displaying the relative humidity. Also the instruction manual has such small print that it is hard to read. I tried to find a PDF version online, but no luck.I hope this helps.

Dose not heat up enough
EDIT- Customer service was quick and great to deal with to resolve my problem. Therefore I have changed my ratingsI bought this incubator because it had decent reviews but also seen that it doesn’t regulate heat very well so I took the chance. Well I must’ve got one of them because it does not heat up enough. The eggs barely feel warm.

No two machines are the same.
The media could not be loaded. So the reviews were very mixed on this, so I decided to chance it.I bought 2 at the same time cause I was gonna have 24 chicken eggs I was picking up.I took the time to set it up and get it going at the temperature it needed - which was a chore cause they were both measuring different. And the machine itself was not giving the correct measurements. You can apparently calibrate it - but that didn’t seem to work for me. I followed the instructions for the humidity that were in the book (that’s a whole other issue).I set my eggs when I was all ready (I’d ended up with 28 eggs fitting as some where on the small side), I was not a fan of the automatic turner at all. It didn’t accurately turn the eggs or do it in it’s supposed 2hr timeframe so I took out the spacers and the mechanism that attached to the top and I turned the eggs myself 5 times a day. I did use the black frame as a way to keep my eggs together.Keeping the humidity right based on the instructions. Was ugh. You can’t hardly see the bottom when looking from any direction, the above is the obvious only way to check - so you have to sacrifice humidity (I did this while I turned manually, but I was still having to have it open longer than if I just turned). You can’t tell how full it is - I even food colored my water - until it has flowed into the channel next to it. Every week you add more water, well again can’t really tell until it flows over. And that last week when you fill the bottom is the worst. Cause the only thing that it flows over are the little tube holes and then you have water running all over.Even following this to a T, basically filling until it brims over enough to see, the two again did not keep the same level of humidity - which was easy enough to tell from the condensation that one had an immense amount of and the other was just a fogging up.The ‘clear’ grey top is shitty to look through, like you need a flashlight to actually see inside without opening.The LED light - sort of works..it’s not bright enough for brown eggs at all. And it’s not a good shape on the plastic. It’s round yes, but I had more issues seeing because the base didn’t fit to the egg well was actually shining a lot of light out at me or the walls. I bought my own dollar store led and used my hand as a base and it worked better.I lost 4 due to early deaths on day 8, lost 4 more due to late deaths day 18. Lockdown I’ve lost one due to lack of humidity somehow, and have 8 yet to pip on day 24 and I’m certain they won’t cause obviously somehow in the lock down the humidity has shifted up/down - I opened today to get the chicks that have hatched out to some food& water as they can’t wait another day. Also- having 4 chicks in with the inhatched eggs is very crowded for these guys as the space is quite small.Now price wise ‘cheap’ isn’t the right word, seemingly affordable compared to going into the bigger and more professional ones. However if you don’t want to spend extra (money and time) on making this one work perfectly for you - you are better off getting the the other brands (splitting it with friends/family would even work!).And very clearly no two machines work the same way.UPDATE: I’ve had 2 chicks hatch and nearly die, so with investigating further turns out both machines after I’d test temps at lock down set, have actually decreased temps by 6 and 7 degrees from what at they say they are at. And have NEVER warned me in a temp fall ;which I set to .01 each way, since that makes an actual .5 difference) my breasts are warmer than these. In an attempt to save what eggs I have left I have tried to increase the temp and the one won’t go over 39 and the other does go to the max of 39.5. Obviously there’s some issues with the digital thermometer.Most likely not worth your time. Now to see if I can save my unhatched, and maybe get a partial refund on these.
