Does anyone have one of these incubators.
There are a number of them for sale in Australia from local and direct import sources.
Generally they are cold-room panel construction with digital controllers.
Friends of mine have one, they are having trouble with faulty electrical switches, turning mechanism tipping eggs out of the trays and the pivot bar on top of each tray breaking eggs in the centre of the egg trays.

I have one. Those are serious problems though. The only problem I seem to have is with humidity being too high but that's easier to sort out.
I'd be sending that one back. Did you buy it from Australia?

Be no good having an incubator of any kind up here, we've have the power off for 2 days from 8am - 4pm in two weeks :(
