I got this as a gift after being slightly used for christmas of 2001. It has seen alot of shelf time over these years but I love it. I added the turbo fan kit after a couple years of owning it and noticed that it goes through alot more humidity but I don't get the sticky, prolapsed chicks I was before. I have used the gqf universal/quail turner every time I've run it and gotten 80-90% hatches unless the eggs I set were no good. The thermostat finally went out in early spring of 2010 and that is only a $20 part. Overall I love this incubator and have had much better rusults that most people I know that run a little giant. I have no idea how old mine is because it dose not have the rounded corners of the current "generation" of hovabators. The only things I would change is put a digital thermostat with push button adjustment and a digital read out and a way to add humidity from the outside, but for the price compared to other models of similar capacity, I've seen, I can't complain.

I have had good luck with it an I'm overall pleased with this product. I got it as a Christmas gift in 2001 and it is still running like new. There are a few small hitch pins that hold in the trays which are easy to lose. It is plastic but as long as it is handled gently it doesn't break. Assembly can be a pain as well as switching trays but that's not a constant job. I will also add that all of my sets have resulted in either an 80-90% hatch rate or 0% hatch rate in the cases where they were bad eggs. I wouldn't run my hovabator without it.
