I got this model recently, it was very reliable, I got ten out of fifteen to hatch, and if there hadn’t been a humidity spike (a one time fluke) I may have had 2 more. Also had two that were empty from the start, and one quitter. I am now doing a second hatch, six eggs are from younger birds, three were under the porch only found after a cold night, and six are from a reliable flock that had served well before.
I find it is best, especially with large eggs, to set fifteen, and set on their side.
I fill the humidity by lifting the lid and adding a few drops of water through the lattice piece.
The temperature can be unreliable, so I set it at 101 F to make sure the corners are enough.
It says it has a hygrometer but does not. I recommend buying a hygrometer/ thermometer and place in the corner.
