The ReptiPro 6000 is our favorite incubator!
This incubator gets our highest rating for a number of reasons, mainly the combination of style and function that is lacking in most other incubator models.
First, it is simply a good looking incubator. It is made of a durable molded plastic that is easy to clean and maintain. It also has a large viewing window that lets you see the entire inside of the incubator at any given time with a quick glance. With the silver finish and blue accent lights, it is an incubator you wouldn’t be ashamed to sit on your counter and show off to visitors. The clear shelves just help give it that little extra something.
Next, it is dead simple to use. Although we found that it required a little bit of setup regarding humidity, once we found our sweet spot, it was ready to go. The water tray in the bottom provides grooves that you can fill with water to raise your humidity. We started with it half full, and found that we only needed about 4 rows filled to get the humidity that we wanted. The temperature was easy to adjust with the touch of a button, either up or down.
While this was originally intended as a reptile incubator, it both heats and cools. It can hold temps as low as 40 degrees F up to 140 degrees F, making it ideal for all types of egg incubation, both bird and reptile. For bird egg incubation, there are also egg turners for the ReptiPro 6000 available. It can hold up to 2 turners for a capacity of 32 chicken/duck/goose eggs. It also comes with small cups to hold smaller eggs such as quail or pheasant.
Overall, the ReptiPro 6000 gets high marks for performance, style, value, and durability, making it our recommended choice for most breeders.

This incubator is inexpensive, easy to use, and gives me great results. I have been hatching chicken eggs in it for the past 3 years, and have had a much better hatch rate than with the HovaBator’s I have used previously. I think this is a great value, and I highly recommend it.
I love this incubator. For the price, it is perfect for me. I recently purchased my 2nd ReptiPro 6000 because my operation is growing, and it was cheaper to do that than to purchase a cabinet incubator. Also, this way I can do different types of eggs and have more control over the specific incubation needs than I would have if I put them all in 1 incubator. The model I just got is even nicer than the earlier 6000 I had purchased. The finishing was much nicer, and it seemed to be better manufactured. The lady that works there is very nice also, and has been very patient with me through all my questions.
