IncuView 3 Pro™ All-In-One Automatic Egg Incubator

we have the original incuview and had great success until we tried ducks! we had to add so much water to keep the humidity level up that we decided to upgrade to this one.
its significantly larger capacity and water reservoir is great. my peeps are hatching as i type!

I've been hatching turkey eggs in this incubator. Love the upgrades they have made.

If you are looking to get started hatching eggs, this incubator is the easiest, most trouble free way to get going that I have seen. I highly recommend !

This is our favorite countertop incubator to date. In fact, we were so satisfied that we ordered a second. Chicks are hatching as I write this review. The second is full of duck eggs and counting down the days.

The unit is solid and built quite well. Easy to assemble and start up. Automatic egg turner works flawlessly, smoothly rotating the eggs during incubation and stopping function during lockdown. The fact that it is a flat tray style and we didn’t have to remove it before hatch is great. Temperature and humidity gauges have been spot on. Easy to add and regulate water levels with the multi-tier reservoirs. We purchased the optional water tank that reduces the need to frequently monitor and add water. Awesome view of what’s going on inside.

Two things I would note:

First: The light function has variable timer settings, but it does limit to 30 seconds. I feel like this should be increased or even just the option to turn on/off manually would be better.

Secondly, and truly the only “negative” opinion: The little red wire probe just dangles inside. Works fine during incubation, but immediately after hatch the chicks really, really want to peck at the small red ball on the end. Which does cause the digital readings to jump around a bit. We ended up deciding to quickly open and start removing chicks as they become attracted to it. I think this could be easily corrected by adding a self adhesive clasp to the inside of the cover. (Which I intend to do before we start our next batch.)

All in all, these units are absolutely great so far and one of the simplest to operate. I recommend for new/novice hatchers that are looking for a simple, efficient and accurate incubator. As well as for seasoned folks that are looking to really automate and enjoy the ease of use.

The only thing I can’t speak to is longevity, as this is our first hatch using this incubator. However, given our experience up to this point, I think these are excellent units and have no reason to suspect that they wouldn’t hold up over time.

I purchased this incubator after fretting over the decision and spending way too many hours of reading and watching the chicken internet (there’s a lot of info and incubators out there!). Don’t know how the others compare, as this is my first bator, but I can attest to the ease and effectiveness of this one. It was super straight forward, easy to set up, easy to operate and worked well. I currently have 20 of 23 eggs hatched and at least one more working on it, maybe the other two. It’s pretty quiet for running 24/7 and didn’t wake me, the wife or 2 year old despite being ten feet from our bed. Kept temp really well. Humidity was pretty simple to adjust, though it took a few test runs to feel confident I could meddle with the caps/vents and achieve my desired outcome. I didn’t calibrate or use an external thermometer or hygrometer, which I’ve heard is extremely risky, bordering stupid. Worked out for me I guess, but I think I’ll invest in a thermo/hygrometer next time, as the humidity reading seemed spotty. It read consistently around 65% but the windows started steaming (condensation) and the humidity was still approx. the same. I started monitoring by the moister on the plastic viewing cover, and that worked for me. Too much and I’d open event, too little and I close them down. One thing to take particular note of: before going into lockdown, unplug the wire that connects the egg turning motor to the power. I woke up to one of my chicks with his head caught in it like a noose. Gave me a bit of a scare, but I was able to get it out quickly by unplugging it. If you do that beforehand, it wouldn’t be an issue. Also, I wasn’t totally thrilled with the countdown timer, as it didn’t really seem to change days on the 24 hour mark. In fact, it was 12 hours late on changing so I manually did myself to avoid confusion. In the end, that was just for peace of mind as I had all of my dates marked on a calendar for when to candle and go into lockdown, but the timer issue had me recounting and double checking my math on multiple occasions (all of which confirmed the timer was faulty, not my math). If I had let that go on automatic, I’m not sure it would have stopped turning on the actual day 18. All in all, this thing worked out phenomenally and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting an easy to use incubator.
