The thermostat went in my brand new Octagon 20 plus about 6 hrs after putting eggs in it. It took 6 days for a replacement thermostat to arrive.

I wasn't pleased.

We've used an Octogon 20 for four years now and haven't had any problems with it other than humidity, It turned out to be a bad piece of hose or poorly positioned and the problem went away when we replaced it.

Hi I bought a Maino ME3A about three years ago, it is reliable easy to use and clean, I have had very good results hatching Guinea Fowl quail and pheasants. Maino have an updated model out this year it is claimed that it performs like the Octagon 40. I found one on ebay for £130

My mates got an Octagon 20 and the thermostat went in that whilst it contained eggs.:(

I got a octagon 20 incubater last year with autoturn cradle and i hatched 24 quail eggs very succesfuly just to try it out, because i'm starting to double clutch from my breeding redtails and have foster parents to rear the young once hatched.:supz: :supz:
