I've used cheap Peltier incubators in the past (when funds were scarse) and they were just fine - with the caveat that the incubators I used were small -- basically they were portable beer coolers with a temperature controller (made by Koolatron). First thing I did was to check the temperature and it usually returned to normal within minutes after closing the lid.

According to manufacturers' info they should be OK for small volumes. I have some doubts regarding their effieciency when you open one say ten times a day for one minute how quick they cope with it. Any ideas?
