Seems to work ok now. The egg Turner was not working at first. I took a screwdriver handle and gave it a couple sharp taps. It started working and has continued to work. The controls are preset, it runs fairly accurately with temp and humidity. Just keep water in the troughs. It is a much better incubator than I used to use, however the brand is the same. Just a lot of improvement.

This is a styrofoam molded unit in 2 pieces with the electronics in the lid. The manufacturer provides a warning to support the foam when plugging in the power cord to the lid. It would seem that molded plastic with a styrofoam liner would be more practical, stronger and durable. The styrofoam does seem to retain heat. It has 2 larger holes with plugs that can be removed for additional ventilation. There are smaller holes in addition to the 2 larger ones. The egg turner continually turns the eggs which is a great feature. The temperature and humidity gauge seems to be pretty accurate, give or take a degree. There are 6 water troughs formed in the bottom and require a turkey baster to fill them after the egg turner is in place. 2 cups of water will initially fill them. You can use a funnel to add water when needed, but trough #6 is somewhat under the egg turner motor and difficult to use the funnel. Humidity fluxuates and stays on the high side after the initial water fill and also will vary greatly as to the number of eggs in the unit or added after the initial setting. The unit makes a steady but not obnoxious hum as it operates. If all eggs are not added at the same time, it will require a second incubator to handle the 18 day old eggs when they are no longer to be turned. The only other option would be to remove all eggs from the turner, remove the turner (which is easy) and place the eggs on the bottom and then manually turn all the eggs that still require turning.Read full review

We just now have our first batch of eggs coming out. The incubator kept the temperature rock-steady and accurately. It's solid enough to do the job; you just need to handle it carefully: not drop, etc. We bought one of these in 2008, and it cost more than this one, WITHOUT the egg turner this one had included! So we're super happy with it!

The Little Giant does everything it says, and is well worth the selling price. Because I plan to raise quail, I also invested in the quail egg turning trays. I am a complete Noob in the world of raising poultry, and this product made my work so much easier!!!

I have 4 other incubators and was still having low hatch rates. This monitors the humidity throughout the incubation and is simple. I did not need a separate device to check humidity or to keep track on a calendar of when I added water last. Great hatch this time. Running more eggs soon.
