This means you need to use something like a turkey baster to fill it, basically blasting water into it, not carefully filling it up, and it’s difficult to determine how full the water reservoir is without any external indicator. They are located too low on the unit and are a straight shot into the unit. While this unit does allow you to fill it with water to raise the humidity, the positioning of the fill holes is awkward. First off, unlike other incubators that have automatic egg turners, this unit takes up two power outlets - one for the egg turner and one for the temperature unit. Some of these aren’t functional negatives, just things that have been implemented better on different incubators. Most of these are things I never came across in other reviews that can help others as they figure out what works best for them. This is perfect for egg hatching newbies and better than other candling implementations on other units. Lastly, to round out the positives, it ships with an external LED candler.

It is also covered in a plastic outer shell that you can write and take notes on using a dry erase marker. There is a red indicator light that turns on letting you easily see when the unit is heating up. You can even add additional water to increase the humidity without opening the lid - though it could have been implemented better. On top of that, given how the unit is constructed, it’s very easy to maintain the temperature and humidity even when you need to open it up for your day 4 and day 10 candling, then again on day 18 when you remove the automatic egg turner. It factory defaults to 100 degree temperature, 21-day countdown, and (perhaps most importantly) the temperature and humidity was accurate right out of the box on the unit we purchased which is a huge relief, especially for first time and inexperienced hatchers. It’s not my favorite incubator, but I don’t regret this purchase and would recommend it depending on someone’s specific needs and experience hatching eggs. To start, I want to reiterate that this is a good incubator.
