The aerogarden does what it says it will do. I used the master garden kit to start a number of seeds for the garden and they all did well.

Review date : 2009-03-23
We got the AeroGarden Pro 200 for Christmas. We just finished the herbs kit that came with it. We could have gone longer, but we really wanted to get the salad greens kit growing.

So far so good. The unit was easy to assemble and easy to plant the first kit. Everything grew so quick and even when you harvested everything you could, there was typically more to harvest two days later.

The pump does make a slight noise at times when running, but no more than a fish tank would. The lamps really do light up the room, so we placed this in the kitchen. You can adjust the time when the lamps shut off, so if the light might keep you awake, you can have it shut off when you go to bed. In the late evening, we rarely turn on the kitchen light to do things as the AeroGarden pretty much lights up the entire kitchen enough to see and do most things.

I am knocking off one star for a couple of reasons. First, there is a light indicator for when the water level is too low. It seems to work ok because when we cleaned the unit for a new planting, we pluged it in without enough water and it knew that. During the herbs growing though, the indicator failed to ever let us know the water was too low. So, we had to routinely check it and fill it and not trust the indicator.

Secondly, when we started our new salad greens kit, we cleaned everything as it said to. There is a little pump filter in there that turns dirty brown and you have to find it amongst the roots. Very hard to find and the instructions do not even give you a good illustration to know what to look for.

Third, it recommends to replace the filters every time or other time you replant and they should include one in every kit. The instructions say to contact support to order filters. These plant kits are $20, so the need to include a filter.

The last issue for knocking off one star is the plant kits themselves. At typically $20, they are rather pricey. They all comes with instructions and growing books. The growing part of the documentation I can understand, but they also include the same documentation that comes with the AeroGarden, so another thick book. What a waste of trees and probably adds to the price.

Is this cheaper than buying anything this can grow? Heck no. However, it is fun to watch and fun to grow things. We spend a lot of money on various organic products, so at least mentally, the AeroGarden feels slightly cost justified.

After I submit this review, I am purchsing another one so we can get even more things growing.

Great inside garden so far. I’ve only had it a few weeks but already harvesting the lettuce as it said in the Quick Start Guide. I love it!

Review date : 2009-01-31
We never realized how much we would enjoy this item. We placed it on our dining room table and can’t stop watching it grow; so much so we are considering purchasing additional units.

The Aerogarden 200 works great. It’s hard to believe how the lights can smoke. They are 3 low energy flourescent bulbs.

Fast growth and looks beuatiful. Not practicle if you are doing this to expect to save money on produce. You buy this for fun.

Do you buy a rose for fun or for it’s edible qualities.

I love it!!!

I wish I had known when I dished out well over $100 that the pump was so noisy I need earplugs to concentrate if I’m in the same room with my new AeroGarden Pro 100. I’ll try moving it to the garage.

Review date : 2009-03-04
I asked for and received the pro 100 and south of the border seed kit for Christmas. The pro 100 was easy to put together and I quickly got to starting my herbs. Long story short the epazote and one of the cilantro pods never sprouted. After 3 weeks of wating to see if something would happen I called AeroGrow.

I was greeted with a recording that said the wait time on Mondays and Tuesday was the busiest and then I was given an estimated wait time of 2 hours!!!! WHAT? 2 hours? Obviously I hung up. I have nothing better to do than stay on hold for 2 hours??

I took pictures of the plants that grew and the ones that didn’t and sent an email off to AeroGrow customer service. I got an auto reply that said they would respond within 2 weeks. That was over 3 weeks ago and I haven’t heard back from them.

I am disgusted with the lack of customer service and will be selling my Aerogrow at a yard sale in the spring. I refuse to purchase another seed kit or anything else from this company.

I am wondering just how many complaints/issues they must have that it would take them 2 hours to get in touch with by phone and almost a month with no email reply??

From box to complete setup was a breeze. Instructions were easy to follow – the most complex part was setting the light timer.

I don’t like the mix of herbs that came with the Garden. I wish I could have selected my own preferences. It makes the initial cost go up if you intend to change to new plants.

I bought this as a present for my wife. She’s a really green thumb anyway, but in the winter, it’s hard to get things growing too well.
So, after the first four weeks, it’s been a smash hit with her!
It really does work, light goes off and on, add the water and tablets on occasion and the herbs grow lusciously like a beanstalk!
We both are really enjoying it. Recommend, it’s fun!

I own three AeroGardens which include the classic black 7-pod, the Pro 100 and the Elite 6. Of the three, the classic and the Pro are the better models in my opinion. The classic 7-pod is whisper quiet. I planted the salad chef greens which included romaine, mesclun, baby greens, arugula and salad greens. All sprouted, but the arugula and baby greens did not do well at all. It might be that I was using regular tap water; however, the rest of the greens are growing very well. The leaves are HUGE.

For the Pro 100 I planted the cascading petunias. Of all three gardens, these took the longest to sprout, but now they are going like gangbusters! The Pro 100 is just like the classic black model except it has stainless steel accents. It is also very quiet except for the sound of trickling water occasionally. This sound will only occur when the water gets low in the bowl. Once you refill to the fill line, the noise dissipates.

If you are in the market for an AeroGarden, I would recommend either the classic or the Pro 100. Both have 7 pods for planting.
