Customer Reviews for VEVOR Black Reptile Incubator 25L Scientific Lab Incubator Digital Incubator Cooling and Heating 5-60°C Reptile Egg Incubator 12V/110V Work for Small Reptiles

I have two of these and so far they have worked pretty good for me. They’re not really big but definitely do the job for what I purchased them for.

Works great. Seems to be about three degrees off the stated temperature, but holds well. Cheap alternative to a more expensive lab incubator.

See the attached image for some wireless temp probe data. This is good enough for mycology work. Just do some testing like I did to see how far set point is from actual, and just adjust set point accordingly. This unit seems like actual temp runs 4-5C below set point, but that otherwise, it's pretty stable. Totally fine for the price. I used to work a lot with $10,000 lab incubators and while they're better made, they aren't a ton better in terms of what they actually do.Longevity is another issue, we will see.

First of all I ordered this item on the 3rd and it arrived on sat. the 6th via fed-ex so this company is excellent on the shipping time. I ordered late that night and when I woke up early the next morning it had already shipped while I slept.I needed this incubator for 3 EMU eggs and in case anyone is wondering I'm sure it could handle a total of 4 EMU eggs just fine. I was really nervous worrying if it would be big enough and thankfully it is. This unit does not have auto turning and for my needs that's okay. I will be using it for other types of eggs in the future because it will hold any kind of egg you need to hatch.I needed something reliable and on the more affordable side for a YouTube Project showcasing my experiences hatching these EMU eggs, then maybe Turkey, Ducks, & Chickens and other type of eggs in the future. I was very pleasantly surprised at how large it is and the way it looks & functions is comparable to the expensive units but without the automatic stuff. You CAN order trays for it too.To use I just put the shelves in to a custom fit for my eggs, put my own thermometer inside with a small cup of water and plugged it in and pushed the button until it hit 39C. It's extremely user friendly and is holding heat well. The blue light is a nice feature and it makes the unit look really pretty but I'm not sure I will be using it once the eggs go in.Also it has a travel power adaptor so you can plug it in to your car lighter to keep it up & running if you need to travel and there is a built in handle on top. Anyone who needs to travel with eggs will like this unit.I will be updating as I discover things about it and if anything goes wrong I will report back here and let you know. The eggs will go in Monday so I will return soon with more news.UPDATE: Back already.. Okay so bigger doesn't always mean better. I really want to like this unit BUT, the temps are just all over the place and when you are hatching eggs that you paid $200 each for THAT AIN'T GOOD.I literally have to hire someone to watch my eggs so I can leave the house tomorrow because the adjustments are that critical & constant for EMU. Under 95 they die, over 98 they die and it just will NOT stay in between those 2 numbers without adjusting something every 15 minutes plus the top shelf is about a degree or 2 off from the bottom.It's great for other types of eggs because it wants to set at 99 F but that's too high for what I'm hatching. It will be a miracle if I see baby Emu using this unit, I am sleeping in shifts with my husband because the eggs need care at least 4x an hour in this unit because of the fluctuations.I LOVE it for chickens, ducks, turkey, etc.. but NOT emu. If you have to travel with eggs you will like it.*If this review is helpful to you could you let me know by hitting the Helpful button? Thanks!*

i use it to raise queen bees . it stays right on temp in the car or at home

The controls on this machine are perfect for Koji (active biological) for miso, natto, komikoji, etc. The tolerances are perfect and allow perfect development of proper enzymes. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to make their own natto.

Great for what I need it for

Got three Boiga nigriceps eggs in there not, almost 90 days.

The jury is still out on this thing for me. I am currently three weeks into incubating a ball python clutch in this unit. We will see how well it does. I have noticed almost a 3 degree gradient from the top to the bottom. Seems to be pretty consistent no matter what I set it to. But it seems to seal up and maintain pretty well. So I am guessing my top rack clutch will be hatching before my bottom rack but we will see how it goes. If it works, you can't beat the price.

Only complaint is the tray for the holding water was broken beyond repair.
