I ordered two of these to hatch out Sebastopol Geese Eggs witch are very hard to hatch. The incubator comfortably will hold 18 goose eggs. Its tight for turning so often but its ok. The temp was dead on throughout the entire incubation period. The humidity trays were a bit scary to figure out because with geese its so critical humidity stays high. There is no outside water filling station should humidity drop at lockdown. What I did do was pull the red vent plug and was able to eyedrop more warm water in the bator when humidity dropped below 70%. Make sure to place your eggs at lockdown away from the vent hole. I did learn to put a spong right underneath the vent hole so water didn't splash hatching eggs. This unit was quiet to run. I wish there was a switch to turn the fan off during lock down to prevent shrink wrapping pipping hatchlings, but all in all I am very pleased with these units. My hatch rate was almost 80% which is great for Sebastopol Geese! The unit was easy to clean.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Eleven days into incubation the 1588 is holding steady temperature. The digital control is hands down better than any model with a wafer thermostat, as it eliminates all the frustration of trying to get/keep the temperature right. I like the plastic water tray with the separate channels for better humidity control. The top is a little unhandy to remove because of shape/lack of handles. I think this incubator may be a little pricey because I wonder how the styrofoam will hold up after a while, but I like it enough to have purchased a second one.

My first hatch in the first incubator was only about 50%. To me that's not real good. I also have a Brinsea 20 Advanced that has a hatch rate of 95+%. So 50% was not good. After the first hatch I ordered a couple of external incubator thermometers and found out both Genesis units were running 2-3 degrees to hot. Since then I have made the necessary adjustments and the hatch rates have went up considerably. Disappointed that the temps were off on both units when I purchased them.

The one I received was very lightly used and very clean. Should have bought two, Shipping cost was same as one. The 1588 with Digital Tempurature control is great. The Temp adjustment goes to tenth. Mine is set at 99.5 F and is very accurate. The humidity readings are very accurate.

I had been looking for a good incubator. I had borrowed one from a friend by farm innovator. It had a dial for temp and humidity. I had incubated with cabinets and styrofoam incubators for many years, but had gotten out of it, selling everything. I had put 18 turkey eggs and a couple of peacock eggs in it. Only got 1 turkey out of it all. I should have known not to trust the dial. Read reviews later that people were having trouble with the accuracy. I bout this incubator after much research and also an independent temp and hYgrometerr. Have 18 turkey eggs, 6 silkie and a few bantam eggs in it. They will be hatchlings soon. There were a few not fertile, but so far the others are progressing nicely. The digital temp and hygrometer are spot on every time I check it. So much worth the little extra money for peace of mind and to save my investment of fertile eggs!!! Will update if hatch doesn't progress satisfactorily. Seller packages nicely and very quick ship!!!!Vollständige Rezension lesen
