Brinsea Products USAF37C Ovation 28 EX Fully Automatic Egg Incubator with Humidity Control, One Size

The 4th incubator I ordered! The others simply didn't work correctly, and they failed to be effective in hatching eggs. This is a moderately priced unit. We could not afford the $1000 to $1500 models, and the less expensive ones were junk. We were blessed to find this Brinsea. It was affordable, and worked exactly as described. Held both temp and humidity stable. We have used it only once, with 8 eggs (considering our bad experiences with other brands, we didn't want to invest many fertile eggs to it!). We had 100% hatch rate, and now, about 5 weeks later, they are all thriving. I am confident in recommending it.

IMO Brinsea really does make the best incubators. But they are very expensive. But I have learned through the years “buy once cry once”. Not to be foolish with ones hard earned money, but these really are routinely rated the best for a reason. That being said, in setting mine up, when running the hose around the peristaltic pump the hose would slip off of the plastic fitting once it was inserted back in to its holder. Every. Time. It seemed once there was tension on that bit of hose it would not remain attached. Fortunately we had a small zip tie and were able to secure it in place. The last thing we wanted was a faulty water supply to they automatic humidity control system. If I didn’t have eggs to set straight away I would have followed the instructions to replace that section of tubing, but the zip tie was a simple remedy. I also had an issue with the humidity running very high, above my setting. Directions said not to add water to the internal wells, but to place the sponge in. I found I had to remove the sponge to get the proper humidity (57%). Otherwise it kept running up to 70% The other thing I’d like to point out is that Brinsea states that you only require the large carriers for goose and quail/bantam eggs. I was setting welsh harlequin duck eggs. They were precariously on the edges of the cradles, I.e. they did not sit in to them. They managed until the large cradles arrived. These are not from a large duck, so maybe call duck eggs would be ok. Overall, it’s been set it and forget it. Follow your plan and it’s incredibly stable. Just that one minor hiccup during set up and having to get the large trays. Which BTW are half the price elsewhere. Now that I have it figured out, I look forward to hatching everything from chickens, ducks, and geese in this incubator.

El tiempo de entrega muy bien cumple con lo que promete el vendedor. El producto le estoy probando acabo de colocar 21 huevos y todo muy bien hasta ahora la incubadora de muy buen material, da fácil instalación y pronto les compartiré los resultados pero muy bien hasta el momento buen producto.

Very disappointed with this incubator!!! Ive owned a Brinsea before and although the cord was a bit lose, it wasnt this bad. This one, the power cord just falls out and even with tape supporting it, it has to be in an exact spot to power up. If you wiggle it, or it moves even slightly, it causes it to turn off constantly. Im pretty sure my eggs are dead and for a $470 incubator, the cord should fit in snugly and not have this issue.

I’m really impressed with this incubator! I used it for my most recent hatch with shipped eggs, and I’m thrilled to report a 90% hatch rate, which is amazing considering how delicate shipped eggs can be. The temperature and humidity controls are accurate and easy to adjust, and I love how quiet it runs. The design is user-friendly, with clear instructions that made the process straightforward, even for a first-time user like me. The automated turning feature was a huge plus, saving me time and effort. I’m definitely confident in using this incubator for future hatches, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable results!
