moochoo Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm debating whether to buy an incubator. There seems such a wide range on offer and at such a variety of prices. I'm not really fussed whether it's manual or automatic but if any of you have some suggestions for a make you've found to be easy to use and monitor I'd love to hear about them. I guess they all have their pros and cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Have a look here Brinsea and R-Com's are really good. We're using a Covatutto 24 Auto at school and it seems to have been good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross81 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi Sarah I have just used a r-com suro for the first time and apart from a mistake on my part of turning it has been excellent. It has an automatic pump for humidity which never went any more than 1% either way from what i set it and also the temp has an alarm that you can set i set it to 1 degree and it never went more than this. It is also alot cheaper than the normal rcom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 It does look good. I need to do a lot of reading up I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 We started with the Octagon 10 with the cradle and then progressed to the Octagon 20 - very easy to use and we had excellent results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I hated my Corti incubator. If I bought another it'd probably by the R-com Suro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moochoo Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks guys, it's so much easier to make decisions when you know people have had success with their inccy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have a cheapo polystyrene one at present, apparently they are good and admittedly it has held temp and humidity rock solid so I am hopeful (either that or the dials are stuck on ) Hatch is due Tuesday I will let you know how it goes if you are interested If I had the money though I would go for the RCom Suro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
