Juliette was very helpful when I seeked help from a damaged door. Even though i ordered for my dad who lives far away from me Juliette was very helpful and understanding, after a little back and forth and then returning the door they could see was damaged and had another one sent out straight away.
Thank you again, great customer service.

Amazing customer service

As an animal charity we use incubators for many different animals and birds. So when an incubator was damaged through human error we needed to get it back up and running as soon as possible. The customer service are very helpful and gave amazing advice and sorted and dispatched new parts very fast and affordable. Would give 10 stars if I could

Couldn't ask for better

Emailed for help in finding a spare part for a TLC incubator and had a speedy, very helpful and friendly reply from Juliette (customer services). Ordering the part was easy and quick, and Juliette continued updating me on progress. She also was able to send me instructions for fitting the part. Thank you very much.

I received the Brinsea incubator and it was faulty. I contacted Josh at customer services who advised that I needed to purchase a new power supply and mains despite my incubator being less than one year old and using the original items. I registered by product for the warranty straight away and despite this I was left out of pocket. I feel very disappointed with the incubator and the service as prior to buying my purchase I had heard very positive things which was not the case when I raised my concerns.

Thank you for your feedback. After investigating your query, we found that the issue with your Maxi 24 Advance rebooting was due to the wrong power supply being used. The plug shown in the photos you sent us was for your Brinsea EcoGlow 1200 chick brooder, which does not provide enough power for the Maxi 24 Advance.

We sent you images and links for the correct PSU and power lead needed for your incubator. As confirmed from your pictures, the wrong lead was in use, which explains why the incubator had worked fine previously but not on this occasion.

We’re always happy to help resolve any technical queries and ensure you have the correct parts so your equipment can run smoothly.

My Brinsea eco mini 2 had temperatures thar fluctuated wildly between 97 f and 107 f. I always wanted one of your incubators since I got into raising chickens. The last two days have been a horrible nightmare. Thankfully the store took it back. Yes I tried to adjust the temperature with the little screwdriver but it did nothing at all.

We have flagged this review as it is actually a review for Brinsea USA, the customer has left the review for Brinsea UK. We are disappointed that the customer decided not transfer the review to the Brinsea USA Trustpilot account when we asked for it to be moved to the correct account. This is the reply that we left for her initially: We are so sorry to hear you had a problem with your incubator, this is a very rare occurrence. Please can you email: support@brinsea.co.uk with more details and we can investigate this further for you. Can you let us know your serial number and the dates that you contacted the Brinsea customer service team in USA for help and we will follow this up for you.

No better brand of incubator, great investment.

I started my incubating journey with a Brinsea Mini Eco and four years later I have just bought an Ova Easy 380 🙃
I cant rate these incubators highly enough, most I have bought second hand and if I have any niggles Brinsea go above and beyond to help and all spare parts are available online, the customer service is spot on and they really hold thier value second hand - as I have upgraded I have always got my money back on the model I sold - testament to the reputation of Brinsea.
The mini eco was a really nice intro model into incubating and is pretty fail-safe, however after that point I really love the automatic turning and humidity control.

We have two incubators a max11 advanced and an ovation advanced . Absolutely thrilled yesterday to get a100% hatch of Grey silkies from the max11. Now what I need to know is are there any video to show us how to give both incubators a deep clean, easy to do the inside bits it’s getting rid of the fluff that collects in the lid that you can’t get too.

Phenomenal company. Their products are second to none and when I had to cancel an order recently due to family illness they were so kind and helpful. Wouldn't use any other company for incubators. So pleased with them.

as a long time poultry keeper I have considered the products I buy with years of experience and information passed from others. I bought both a Brinsea Maxi incubator and a brooder panel because they are made from years of experience in this sector, in Britain, from replaceable parts and with a backup service for knowledge second to none, wouldnt have chosen anything else.

10 Years with Brinsea

I got my first Brinsea (Mini Eco Adv) 10 years ago and have had great success since and it is still working well. Last year I got an additional incubator an Ovation 56. I have had fantastic results with it also. I have tried a number of incubators in the past but none even remotely compare to my Brinsea's. I would not go with any other incubator brand.

just love this i use it all the time

this was my very first incubator Mini 11Eco Incubator but i really loved hatching my own and this was to small although i still use it for letting my quail dry out.

Next i bought an Octagon eco which was great but i wasnt always arould or sometimes forgot to turn the eggs but its now become my little nursery for newly hatched seramas and call ducks.

I now am using 2 Ovation 28 Eco Incubator which are wonderful so easy to use and keep. even when i accidently lost one power cable i was able to buy a replacement from Brinsea.

I love my Ovaview and Ovascope which lets me see which are fertile and how they are coming on.

as well as my 3 adjustable eco glow brooders as im always afraid of those heat bulbs.

My Brinsea products are fantastic , i did start wit with a cheap chinese incubater 1st time it broke half way through and i lost 72 eggs. I would advise on never using these they are worthless.

Stick to Brinsea and you will have a great time hatching

A chance to survive

A chance to survive. The circuit board in my Brinsea Mini 11 eco, incubator 1, failed recently. Possibly due to a power surge when had a power cut. Eggs were on their 7th day. Heated up incubator 2 and moved across. Had more eggs ready to set. People had requested ducklings from me. Brinsea very understanding and helpful.. Phoned me after exchanging emails. Relevant part posted 1st class, enabling my incubator to be repaired so new eggs could be set. They could have not done more. Marion L Stapleton Harley PUDDLES AND PALS.
