Pros: Love the large size and easy setup
Cons: Uneven heat for me, had to tape the sides to keep heat in.
I still use this incubator a lot, even though I ended up getting a "hoity toity" all electric humidity and temp controlled King $uroMax20. The LG still holds about a dozen more eggs than the Max20, and I like that the hatch area is not as crowed for the chicks during lock-down. I installed a 3rd party fan kit which helped keep the temperature more uniform and also a digital hydrometer/thermometer with a probe that fits in one of the larger vent holes for a more accurate temperature reading . I usually put down the thin mesh elastic drawer liners on top of the wire mesh on lockdown so the hatch mess is easier to clean, and its easier on the chicks feet after hatching. I also use sponges to increase humidity the last 3 days on hatch and use tubing and a plastic syringe to pump lukewarm water on the sponges through the vent holes in the top so I don't have to open it.

Pros: Consistent heat, consistent humidity, nice size
Cons: A bit fragile as it’s styrofoam-we haven’t had a problem but it’s the only con I can think of!
I’ve used this incubator four times with excellent results. I bought the optional egg turner for the last three hatches and feel it’s invaluable!! The only eggs that didn’t hatch were not fertilized. It’s a great, reasonably priced little guy!!

can you use the 7200 little giant fan along with the little giant 9200 incubator and also can you hatch geese eggs in it
 
I would like to make a note for anyone planning to incubate with this incubator to beware. You will have to have some pretty good incubation skills and knowledge to be successful. However, if you are a confident person, then I say, go for it and give it a try.
 
Good review! I would just like to add some comments. I, too, added an extender to the adjustment knob of the one I have. I used a cap from a milk jug and drilled a hole in the center and tapped it down on the knob. I also wrote arrows and H's on it for clarity. I understand that many people have to use these for financial reasons, but I bit the bullet and bought a much better incubator for my own sanity. I now LOVE my LG styro-bator as a hatcher. I have three of them and they work like a dream for hatching. I set them at about 97 degrees and the chicks pop out like popcorn. I only have to monitor the temp for a couple of days and cleanup is a snap. I am much happier with it in this role than I ever would have been trying to incubate the whole three weeks in it!
 
Very good review @BantyChooks. Never let negative people and their negative comments tell you what you can't do. Forge your own way. You will be able to do things they never would because they choose to not try. God bless you.
Do you rotate the positions of the eggs in the incubator during incubation? I think this helps my incubations for better hatch rates.
 
How high did you set the humidity? did you start low and go high for lock down? have goose eggs in incubator and heater went out on my other incubator and just picked this up from a friend to use and have no instructions. am just now testing it to make sure that it hold temp. it has turning trays in it and a thermometer. not humidity control or fan. this is new to me to not have a fan but everyone says it is ok. any hints....
 
I seriously I love mine! I have had 4 hatches now with it since last year (even 2 of them were single eggs - one was a goose egg and the other a chicken) last hatch was 8 chicken eggs and I have had 100% hatch rates! You definitely have to keep an eye on the humidity and temp levels but I couldn’t be happier :)
 
I bought this at TSC. While it has been great, until tonight, I got a temp spike of 116 and it has killed six of my eggs scheduled to hatch next week. Who knows what it has done to the rest. So disappointing. Do yourself a favor, go buy a styrofoam cooler and build your own. The temperature and humidity is never consistent and rarely matches my seperate meter placed in the incubator. Don’t waste your time or money on this one.
