Is it supposed to leak water from the canals or is my incubator just defective? Has anyone else had this problem?

Only if overfilled... The channels are supposed to hold only a little bit of water.

Yes I had the same problem and ditched it and found a better humidifier. Our unit leaked from the very same spot. Other people have had the problem. We've had this one for about 6 months: Crane Drop Shape Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier with 2.3 Gallon output per day and it seems to be working well. No filters. It's a little bit of a pain to clean, but a little bleach solution and voila, it's clean. For our needs, this has been a much better humidifier and NO LEAKS!!!!

I am sorry that you purchased this unit. The electric motor in mine broke after about 3 winters. I don't know why it is leaking. It should not leak. Make sure that the water reservoir spring stopper is working properly and that the reservoir is seated properly.

I did not experience that. No, I don;t think it is normal. It may be that they fill the rod with a gel that freezes and that leaks out, but only a guess. I would return it.

I would buy a different model/brand. I've had this diffuser for just 2 days and it has started leaking. Followed the instructions to the letter but still leaked. I even tried to use it with half the amount of water it's supposedly able to hold and it still leaked. I'm not talking about a little perspiration on the outside of the unit, this thing leaked a small stream from the center seam opening where the 2 halves close together. It's a bad design flaw, IMO. It's too bad because it looked nice and put out a nice stream of mist. I boxed it up and sent it back to amazon this afternoon. I have a smaller unit made by NOW and it's more reliable than this model. No leaking at all but it is quite small. I would buy a different model/brand.

The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough. Perhaps the plastic cover part connected to the tube is not seated correctly. I hate to suggest it, but make sure the separate toggle switch on the back of the unit is in the ON position. It could also be broken - I don't get the impression that the unit itself is very well designed or crafted. I don't even use the humidifier function on mine anymore. It's almost impossible to keep clean. It gets moldy in the transfer tube very easily. I wish I could return it and get a designated humidifier that was designed for that purpose. In hindsight, I would recommend that you avoid this gimmicky product. It promises way more than it can deliver. The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough.

Am I putting too much water in if its leaking out the bottom? My eggs are hatching but I have to keep a towel underneath the unit. Help???

Irfan- I have been using this type of steamer for years and have never had this 'wet area' problem that you're having. depending on how long you have had the unit, I would take it back to where you purchased it (hopefully you still have the receipt?) as defective and exchange it for another. Hopefully you won't have the same problem. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck

a little air leak is ok -- it just needs to keep pumping water to stay cool -- if it ran dry, its probably damaged

Rob, if you are saying water leaking from where the two housing meet, it is possible that ceramic seal is not sealing properly. make sure to check it again and clear it of all particles. Are you able to put a picture, I was not able to fully understand your problem from your description.

Maybe defective. I have never had a problem. Even when it fills up with water from the rain.

Mine has started significantly leaking after only a few days of running. I come home and the place-mat I have it set on it completely soaked through within a matter of an hour or less. I thought it was my cats splashing at the fountain, but it is definitely leaking like crazy.

I had one that did the same thing that I finally had to throw away and buy a new one. Thankfully they don't cost to much. Anyway's just be sure the cap is screwed on tight and maybe pour out some of the nectar so there's not so much overflow. If it keeps leaking then it's just the cause of a bad feeder and you will have to buy a new one. I've had about 5 of them and I only had one that leaked bad. Goodluck!

Mine doesn't leak a drop. Contact vendor or manufacturer, maybe cracked reservoir or defective seal somewhere?

I have had 2 of these over the past 3 years - and never had a leak. Check and make sure the water container is fitted properly on the unit. Maybe yours is defective.

It did well underwater. Even the video did good. There are two doors on the battery compartment. I made sure that I closed them individually so that I knew they were both locked in place. Some people have complained about leaks and I'm suspecting that not getting the inner door locked in may be what causes it. I can't prove it though. I should add we only used it in pool water so it was pretty clear not sure how it would do in murkier water
