MATICOOPX 30 Egg Incubator with Humidity Display, Egg Candler, Automatic Egg Turner, for Hatching Chickens

Happy with this incubator-so far. Others said they could hear it running..? We note a slight winning when it rotates eggs otherwise and a slight humm nothing bothersome. Temp is steady, humidity stays within range of course we check routinely and fiddle with the opening. We have 10 Turkey eggs and 11 duck eggs so, we think it ok IF we check the machine often. See 10× $15 turkeys and 11x $10 we are protecting our investment. Eggs still viable after 14 days. This hatch pays us back the purchase price +. Easy to- set up, set temp and humidity, Keep humidity levels, Easy to change water, Candle worked well with thick spotted Turkey egg shells,

I absolutely love the Maticoop 30-Egg Incubator! This was my very first time hatching eggs, and even though I really didn’t know what I was doing at first, I still had an 86% hatch rate. I did make a couple of mistakes along the way (beginner learning curve!), so I truly believe my hatch rate will be even better next time. The incubator itself is easy to use, consistent, and perfect for anyone who’s new to hatching. I learned so much during this first experience, and this incubator made the whole process exciting and successful. I’m definitely happy with it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, beginner-friendly incubator!

I’ve tried several different brands and styles but this was absolutely the best incubator I’ve ever used! Instructions were simple. It was easy to use. Stores away nicely. The best part was how simple and hassle free the cleanup after hatching was. I incubated 24 eggs for my first round and the only ones that didn’t hatch were the three that were not viable. Holds temperature and humidity really well. No hassle constantly trying to keep the temperature and humidity where it needs to be. All chicks hatched easily, without struggle and in a timely manner. Previous incubators I’ve used had chicks struggling to hatch and hatch days varied all over the place. The clear top made it easy and enjoyable to watch the hatching process. I almost opted for an incubator with much larger capacity but I’m glad I chose this one as I think the high hatch rate is partly due to the size of the incubator. I’m so glad I chose this incubator and I’m ordering a second one.

I bought this to incubate my very first hatching of any sort. I love that it is easy to operate and it worked perfectly at holding the temp and humidity for my little babies. It has a cool handling light that also works well to keep an eye on your little birdies. I think this is an awesome, simple to operate, incubator.

Great humidity, very good hatching rate. Very acurate predicted lock down time. I hatched many chicks/quail/turkey egg from this incubator. Great product.

Very easy set up you can take it apart easily for cleaning. Instructions are very well explained and overall the unit is what I expected.

UPDATE: Now that I've been incubating for couple of weeks noticed that there maybe slight gradient with the temp. The temp could be a wee bit lower in the corners or sides which are further from the heating element. This was based on chick develop differences of just one hatch so more trials needed to confirm. I suspect the fan is just a hint less powerful than optimal. This great for kudos about it's quietness. Its quieter than my little bators. But, now I think this is because possiblythe fan isn't quite as strong as optimal. A minor thing is what many complain about which is humidity. But here you just need get the hang of filling. You need fill the little box multiple times.. watch the number..This is just getting used to it /figuring it out but I'd not fault it on this. #1 with these things is maintaining that temp. This one does it. And the digital readout temp tests true. Additionally, it also has a nice humidity readout which many do not include which also has tested accurate. One can easily adjust the temp and it has days-left indicator which connects to the auto-turning off/on. If you have the right amount of eggs per tray or some artificial type eggs or something for spacers you have the choice of hatching them vertically. However they to need lean against each other for this . But this gives chance to hold more eggs while using the auto turning. The humidity instructions aren't clear. You need to fill multiple times the box as it flows underneath and fills the chamber there. I have found that tipping the unit just a hair bit helps to test if you've filled those areas underneath (not visible when set up). You may need to put little bit extra via the second chamber to get it to 50% or more. And you may need to frequently top off the first one. But with that nice humidity readout you are informed. Don't forget it takes some time maybe hour + to be stable: see details below for more info on humidity. I love the candling light and its excellent. Another nice plus is the design makes for nice brooding area. Unit is quiet and runs smoothly. Good customer service via email (no phone). - Highly specific/small details/tips- As far as that humidity. It can get there, you may just need fully fill both chambers and keep then full. That's not hard to do. Now if it can get there in a dry 78F+ room dunno. The warmer and dryer your environment the more humidity will be challenged. I'd add extra water, give it 1.5 hrs to see if you can get it up to 50%, adjust accordingly- water, room temp. In other words, some thinkin/fiddling may be needed but it can be done. What would improve: a. Ability to turn off turner whenever you wished b. Improved instructions on the water adding, clarity of expression and bit of the grammar/spelling (least important). Tip: This great candling light makes it extra easy to check to see your eggs have well formed air bubbles. If they haven't and especially if they've been shipped, continue to keep them point down on moist surface before incubating.

I originally had this as a lower review because it seemed like the auto egg turner wasn't working. Turns out that it does work, it's just the instruction manual that doesn't explain it properly. The instruction manual is a lot of broken english so it's best to just look up youtube videos of people using this thing. But anyways, for the price it is a good incubator. Only real problem I've had with it besides the instruction manual not being great is the humidity is hard to keep at 55% like it should be. It's also been going through more water than the manual says it will -- shocker, the manual got that wrong as well. We live in a humid area so it's strange, but it works so whatever.

Hands down my favorite "small" incubator. I've used everything from the Nurture Right 360, to the cheap yellow and clear incubators and will probably chose this one every time. These a great for beginners and seasoned hatchers alike. They are completely plug and play with easy instructions. I've been running mine from Feb-July straight, with no issues or indication that its slowing down or burning out. On my own farm raised eggs, I get between 85%-100% hatch rates. A few things to note or help with better hatch rates: - The packaging isn't the greatest from the manufacturer. The yellow baskets are loosely packed into the incubator which sadly allowed them to scratch up the clear plastic of the cover during shipping. Not a huge deal, just a bit ugly looking. - Invest in a secondary thermometer/hydrometer. I do see that it runs a bit cooler compared to what it's showing on the lid, but I do have mine in my basement. Having a second thermometer can easily fix this. BUT, I have just "run it as it" at 100.5 degrees without a secondary unit, and still had great hatch rates. - Controlling humidity can be tricky, BUT there is a very easy solution. Take a water bottle, poke a hole in the lid of it. Get a shoestring, feed one end of it in the water bottle (filled with water), and the other into Port A. Place just a bit of the string in Port A, and if you need more humidity, simply feed the string in more. If you need lower humidity, take some of the strong out and open the air vent just a bit. But always give it an hour to 2 to stabilize before making more adjustments. - Basket liners and elastics are important if you have smaller eggs. I put kitchen shelf liner strips in each basket to ensure that the eggs are staying still when the baskets are rotating. I also put an elastic at one end of the basket to help keep my eggs together (they are medium size). This helps them not bump and crack when the baskets are rotating. - During lockdown, put a shelf liner down for the bottom. This helps the chicks stand and walk properly without slipping or getting their legs caught in the bottom grates. It also helps for easier clean up! My only feedback is, that if i have 30 eggs go to lockdown, I find it a bit cramped when they are hatching. I've now moved to moving eggs to a bigger, separate incubator for hatching which seems to work for me. This also helps me prolong the life of the incubator (no baby fluff getting into the fan), and clean up is a breeze when I'm simply wiping/disinfecting instead of having to fully wash out egg shells and poop every time. My bigger unit is cheap but very easy to clean, so this has saved me a lot of time and $$ running both!

Respecto al producto, ya está en uso y parece que funciona muy bien. Solo la paquetería, mal dhl.

Me encanta! Es muy muy buena incubadora, el consumo de luz fue muy bajo a pesar de tenerla conectada por más de un mes para dos veces que puse a incubar huevos, la falla de huevos que hubo fue por qué no estaban fecundados, los demás pollos nacieron bien, sanos y fuertes.

This is a good incubator. I have had it for a few years now and have hatched probably a hundred birds. Turkeys and chickens. I especially like how you can see through the top all the way around without needing to open it. The temperature and humidity are consistent. I had bought a more expensive one as well from a different place, but perfer this one. It's hard to clean it without spilling water over the motor. But with two little screws you can remove the motor and dry it. It's well done.

Worked great. All but two eggs hatched.
