I was planning on buying an R-Com incubator but then I was talking to a lad who said that the R-Com's mightn't fully turn the eggs because the floor moves so he suggested Brinsea. Does anyone have anything to say about either or anymore makes........

The crunch may come when new bits are needed - Brinsea have never failed me yet.

Both work well.
