Works well
We have 56 eggs one, and it does move every 2 hours. It swings once then positioned the eggs in 3 different angles every two hours. We have 15 Guinea Fowls eggs in it so far, it seem to be working well, we checked the eggs under flashlight and it is growing inside. It works great soon as I got it, and it does come with plug, I saw somewhere in review that there's no plug, so I just want to put this out there, YES, it comes with the plug that goes in regular outlet. The temperature setting works great and is very consistent, likewise humidity. I like how it does count days. Only thing I wish is that instruction are more clearer. It's very difficult read and bit confusing, I had to google what is good temperature for my guinea fowls. I missed valuable instruction that's in FQA section that I didn't read at beginning until my husband spots it, that you should place your eggs in it pointy side down. I think that should be in the main instruction section, not FQA section! But we moved all the eggs in right directions after 14 days! I hope all those eggs are fine :-l I guess we will wait and see.. But I know our birds will have more eggs if this batch don't work out. I just wish I knew this sooner. But however, this product works well and we like it so far. It's not loud, I barely hear it. Not annoying at all. We have ours in the kitchen on one of the counter. I love how we are able to look inside without opening it. :) If anything changes, we will be back and update the review! :D

Read before you buy
Just finished a 21 day incubation. First off during the incubation we noticed that the egg turner would not work as intended. It would some times tilt right then stop straight up then turn left and stop straight up. it is my understanding that it should tilt from left side then tilt to the right side never stopping vertical. On day 22 we did not have any of the eggs hatch, so I went a got a separate thermometer and the temp was 116! All the eggs were over cooked. The unit was not calibrated from the factory and the instructions are hard to understand. Buyer beware when buying, it is not ready out the box to use.

Don't buy!!!
Incubated 50 quail eggs, on day 18 after the first 2 quail hatched and dried I took them out into the brooder. At that point 3-5 eggs were peeped, came back in a few hours, the tempersture on the unit was reading what it's supposed to, but my secondery thermometer read 112 Fahrenheit. Not a single quail hatched besides the first 2. I cracked all the eggs and found only 4 eggs didn't have a developed chick inside. If the temp didn't spike, I would have had a berry high success of hachability rate. But, it cooked all the chicks inside the shell. BDO NOT BUY!!!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
First and foremost, the instructions are terribly written. And even with a YouTube video trying to teach you how to properly calibrate it, I've had ZERO EGGS HATCH (the person in the video also highly recommended at least two of your own hygrometer/thermometer combo's to be placed in it because of this things inaccuracy). My own devices were constantly up and down. Two batches, over $200 down the drain of high quality purchased duck eggs (separate purchase of course, and they were fertile). I am beyond disappointed! I seriously doubt some of these five star reviews are from real consumers, at least not in the US. Don't waste your money!

Thumbs down!
I should have ran another thermometer. Definitely lost alot of money in expensive hatching eggs. Bummed that I can't return it!Update: I have placed an external thermometer in the incubator. If set at 37.5 (calibrated) it has temp swings down to 35C and up to 40C without changing the original set 37.5C . I tried placing towels on top to hopefully stabilize the temp but it isn't working.

Good
Seems to be working great.. the only negative thing I have to say is that I wish the instructions had a little more detail and that there were pictures for setting it up (the egg turner and location of the water chamber) but i figured it out after a few minutes.

0% Hatch Rate
I’ve tried 3 batches of eggs with 0% hatch rate. I had an 80% hatch rate with a homemade incubator. I suspect the temp is off. I’ve tried to regulate it but to no success.Dont waste your money!!!
