I'm not new to Aerogardens...ever since my hubby bought me one years ago for my birthday I've been completely hooked. I have a bit of a collection but this was my first of the new model Harvest and I love it. I got it specifically for the new Microgreens kit because I didn't want to tie up a Bounty and the kit wasn't compatible with my other gardens (old models and a Harvest Elite Slim).
For context, gardening is not my thing. I'm terrible at it- the only plants I've managed to keep alive are snake plants and even those have come close to dying. My Aerogardens though are a whole different story- it actually makes gardening FUN for me with much less mess than digging in dirt, dealing with pests, animals, etc. If you're just getting started with Aerogardens, this is the perfect size (6 slots) and the stainless finish looks like a fancy kitchen appliance. I love the lighted digital menu making it much easier to read and set than previous models. Keep in mind that this one is not wifi compatible (at least that I can find). You can plant lettuce, herbs, flowers, and now even microgreens. I don't recommend tomatoes or peppers in this garden though- they will quickly overtake it. If that's your thing then definitely look into a Bounty that can accommodate the height and the spread.
If you're on the fence about trying Aerogardens or even gifting one, this one is a great choice that will keep going and going. These are especially great for folks who live in areas that they can't have a garden or they may want fresh herbs/veggies that won't grow certain times of year. I have had nearly zero problems with any of my Aerogardens going on several years now. A few tips that seem to work for me:
- I'm bad about reading directions but definitely read them if you're not familiar. They will save you a lot of missteps and frustration.
- Between starting new gardens, I do a deep clean of everything. Just a handwashing with dish soap and rinsed very, very well.
- Keep them watered (but don't overwater). These are hydroponic plants- if they run out of water they seem to die almost instantly and it will be next to impossible to revive (in my experience)
- Feed the gardens on the recommended schedule
- Keep your plants pruned and under control, this will help them stay healthier, fuller, and contained where they should be in the garden and not causing problems with other plants.
- Definitely look into spacers (they're available on Amazon). They're recommended for tomatoes and peppers but I've found them really helpful for large herbs like basil so it has more room to grow.
- Replace the filters in the water basins periodically. They last a long time but after a while they degrade, rip, etc.
I'm a major Aerogarden devotee and don't think I could (or can) garden any other way. I've grown countless gardens at this point including peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, microgreens, cucumbers, basil, chives, sage, cilantro, oregano, you name it. There is nothing better than your own fresh greens!

Displays don't last.
Nice little garden but the display went blank. I have three of these and this is the second one that the display failed. Not even a year old

We love this little machine! Simple setup a bit of operator error (the controls are touch, not pushbutton ... Doh! ... So far we've grown several of the seeds that came in the kit and they all grew up happy and well. Made pesto with the basil leaves and it tasted great with spaghetti. Cleaned the unit for the first time just 30 minutes ago and found that it breaks down conveniently so that the water tank can be flushed and wiped out without the base, which holds the electronics. The overhead lamp can be easily adjusted to accommodate the plants as they get taller, and the light timer works great, I'm greeted every evening by the bright, corner garden of happy plants. I highly recommend this for families with children of any age, it's a fascinating delight!

Packages came in good condition. The installation was easy. The whole machine looks nice, compact and sturdy.
What I like about this is it’s mess less. All I need to do is add water and plant food when needed. No need for any prior farming knowledge.
The auto lighting system is also a plus. After you set up the time, the lights will be turned on and off itself. I don’t have to worry about leaving the lights on for too long or forgetting to turn it on.
Overall, it’s a nice concept and well execution. So far so good, we have had some fresh herbs as an addition to some meals.

Se me ocurrió separar las semillas germinales extra y a los 20 días la diferencia es más que notable.
Muy feliz y contento con la compra.
Lastima que no todos los insumos están disponibles para importar a mi país.
