I do NOT recommend this incubator. 
When we first got our incubator, we thought it was strange that the wires were on the outside just laying there - no wrap or cover. The first batch we did went perfectly. Even with help from the technical assistance, we have never been able to reset the hatch day. The digital thermometer/hatch day/humidity portion of the motor has never worked right. I was told to 'just add my hatch days on to the number on the screen' since even they couldn't help with getting it reset. Second batch - the automatic egg turner quit working. OK, so we manually move it whenever we walk by. We can deal with this too. Third batch - the motor starts making a grinding noise. Technical assistance said it was probably the automatic turner probably trying to make a cycle, just keep doing what we are doing. Last night, the incubator died. My eggs are cold. They were due to hatch Easter Sunday.
Can anyone recommend an incubator (that isn't foam or handmade) that will last a little longer? This thing was close to $200! Tastes like disappointment....
