Can't go wrong with an Octagon. Worth the money. I hatch Seramas which can be known for being difficult and my Octagon 40 gets the highest hatch rates. Shop around on google and you can get big discounts.

I use Rcom 20's they are awesome. I mainly hatch serama and get super results, have hatched about 100 serama chicks this year in my 2 machines. I would recommend but 2009 models only, older ones use sponges and don't hold the humidity. New ones just fill them up and go!!!

the octogons definitely! I have the oldest octo 20 model which is now probably 12 years old and never fails to give fab results. the 20 or the 40 are the best of brinsea when it comes to smaller machines in my opinion. the 10's tend not to be so great.
