Cabinet incubator reviews10/4/2023 ![]() We reviewed 22 products and narrowed down to a list of 5 best egg incubators in the market. Luckily, we have made it easier for you by coming up with this guide. There is an astounding variation of brands and models of egg incubators in the market that choosing the best can be daunting. You will never get an incubator that hatches all the eggs every time, but some models hatch none every time. The best egg incubator will ensure your eggs get the right temperature, humidity, and turning. Usually, eggs can withstand abuse but not variations in the environment. Unless, of course, you have a broody hen ready to sit and hatch you some chicks. If eggs are more than just a breakfast staple for you, then you are familiar with the importance of owning an egg incubator for hatching chickens or other exotic birds.

All you need to do besides bump up the humidity is to remove the eggs from the egg turner and set them on the base to hatch by pulling the round turner out, no need to move the is reader-supported. Speaking of lock down, hatching in the Nurture Right 360 is a breeze. It has 2 ports to add the water to depending on how high you need your humidity to be so when it comes time for lockdown you just fill up port 1 and top off port 2 for proper hatching levels. The water is added through a side port that is molded into the base of the incubator. I found humidity control in the Nurture Right 360 to be very easy to use and maintain. The design of the turner makes it so that the eggs in the outer turning slots will get a higher degree of turn every time the tray moves, I do not know if this is significant, but it should be noted just in case. The egg turner moved smoothly allowing the eggs to move across the floor in a calm and safe manor. The circular design allowed the temps to remain fairly even throughout the incubator and I did not have a hot or cool pocket on the outside turning areas…but the center seemed to run a little cooler than the rest of the incubator by about 2 degrees. The performance of the Nurture Right 360 is on par with most quality digital incubators on the market today. ![]() The lid and wrap around viewing window are easily wiped down with a damp cloth and the base breaks down into 3 easy to clean pieces as well. Clean up after the hatch was fairly painless and quick. You have 2 different ports to add water to as well, one for regular incubation and the other for lock down when you need to increase the humidity levels. Adding water is very easy, the base of the Nurture Right 360 has an external water port that you can add water to without having to touch the lid. Clearly a quality control issue and from what I have seen not common with these incubators. Our test incubator had an issue with the auto turner working as intended, I had to manually push the auto turn buttons on the lid to turn the eggs 3 times a day. Meaning you give up way too much egg space if you try to hatch anything other than a chicken egg. This circular turner is designed perfectly for chicken eggs but anything bigger or smaller fit in awkwardly and much less efficiently. The turner is what I would consider semi-universal as you can only adjust a few of the bars in the turner assembly. Either way will work, I just felt like my approach was cumbersome, but it keeps the temp and humidity in check a little better than the other. My method took a little longer as I would crack open the lid, grab an egg, close the lid, and then check my egg on the built in candler. However, to get the best use out of this candler you really should take the incubator lid off, set it to the side, and then you will have proper access to the eggs and light. I did have a little light leakage, but I was also able to see the veining and development in the eggs without much of a problem. On the outside of the lid of the incubator you will find your egg candler hidden in a small indentation with a very bright LED light in it…this is to candle your eggs with and actually works pretty well. 5 increments and the humidity percentage, you can press the “MENU” button one time to see your days until hatch as well. ![]() The display itself shows the current temperature in. I found the settings menu to be very plain and basic, it only allows you to set the temperature and the days until hatch. The instructions that come with this incubator are easy to understand and cover the basics for set up, use, and troubleshooting. The circular design with automated turning is very cool looking and definitely stands out visually against other incubators. I found the Nurture Right 360 to be easy to set up and use overall, but our particular unit had a few “minor” hiccups that I will cover later in this review.
