I just thought I'd share how well my Turbofan Hovabator is working for me so far this season. I've read countless complaints regarding temperatures inside of Hovabators fluctuating wildly unless a high quality thermostat is used with the incubator. My personal experience with my Hovabator, however, has been great. It doesn't take me much time to set it to hold my desired temperatures. I've been running the incubator since mid-March. It held a steady temperature of 82 degrees F, give or take .5 degrees at the most up until I increased the temperature about a week ago. It is now fluctuating between 87 and 88 degrees F; right where I want it. I have multiple reliable thermometers placed in different locations inside of the incubator, so I am sure of the temps. The temperature is relatively the same throughout the incubator. Also, The temps in my house are not constant. The room I keep the Hovabator in gets as high as 76 when the air conditioner is not running and as low as 68 when the air conditioner is running.
I tested my Hovabator for weeks before trusting it with my eggs. I was not expecting good results while testing the incubator without a seperate thermostat, but did anyway out of curiousity since I was not expecting eggs for a while. I'm not suggesting that Hovabators are wonderful incubators for reptile eggs. I check the temperature in the incubator very frequently and hope that my luck continues. I am fully prepared should my Hovabator fail.
