AeroGarden Harvest Elite Slim Indoor Garden Hydroponic System with LED Grow Light and Herb Kit, Holds up to 6 Pods, Platinum

I wanted to wait a couple of months before leaving a review, so here we go. First the bad...Mine didn’t come with the domed covers like it was supposed to and 3 of the seed pods didn’t germinate. It’s small with only 6 pods, so not good for seed starting a full garden. Now the good. I love it anyway!!! I’ve been trying to get everyone at work to get one. I bought a really large 20 pod system from another company and it works, I just don’t love it. The Elite I love! The buttons on the front instead of on top of the grow light are a big deal for me. I’m really short. The water spouts for each pod are awesome! I feel that is what makes everything grow faster than my other brand. The nutrients that came with it are much better than the mix my own nutrients that came with the other brand too. Just remember to shake them up regularly or they settle. Build quality - It seems to be made much better than my other brand. The stainless steel matches my kitchen and looks so pretty! Ease of use - It was so much easier to setup and get going than my other brand. And the instruction book was easy to understand. Value for the money - She is a little more pricey for only 6 pods. And as I said in the beginning it didn’t come with everything and 3 pods didn’t produce. So I wouldn’t pay full price for it, but if you can catch her on sale... oh yeah I would and do recommend it. It’s fun to come home from work and see how much everything has grown!! My husband says I just light up, but I love gardening! I started my seeds for my outdoor garden in my traditional seed trays by the window. The same day I started a few of the same seeds in my Aerogarden. The Aero garden starts are 2-3 times bigger with huge root systems. I can’t wait for my plants to get big enough to transplant and start a new one. Grows beautiful lettuce, mustard greens, cherry tomatoes and basil! I hope this helps.

This is the perfect size hydroponic unit for a crowded kitchen counter. I’ve got a couple of other hydro units in other rooms that are too big for my crowded kitchen counters, but this one is just perfect for snipping fresh herbs while cooking/plating meals. It was super easy to set up, the menu of controls is intuitive and everything needed is in the box. Hydro is so easy - I’ve grown herbs and veggies, used my units to start plants for the garden and pot, all it takes is remembering to add water and fertilizer - and this unit reminds you of both! Disclaimer, though - the plants in the photo I transplanted from my other hydro units to have instant herbs in the kitchen, this is day 1 of this unit, day 42 of the plants since they were in other units - all that took was swapping out baskets and carefully feeding roots through the holes inthe unit top. I can’t speak to the germination rate of the pre-seeded pods, since I’ve only ever used hydro with my own seeds and had great luck with them (tomatoes germinate in 3 days, for example), but I put 2 of the pre-seeded pods in another unit and will update if they fail to germinate. I got it at 52% off list price, which was a fabulous price and I am amazed at the features packed into this small, light, but mighty hydro units. If you’re constrained in space but want to try hydro, get this!

Got this for my younger daughter who is very interested in growing plants. Was a bit skeptical at first. The unit is much smaller than I had thought. But after 6 months of continuous use I'm more than impressed. We grow herbs and they grow like weeds. I've had more than I could ever use. The lights are on an automatic timer and the system alerts you when water or food is needed. It's pretty hands off other than constantly having to clip herbs and figure out what to do with them, which I consider a good problem to have. Great product!

I received the arrow garden and it was ready to go. I put everything together put the plants pods in and the dill and one other one. I don’t remember which one it was did not sprout at all the other four did. And it’s growing like it was supposed to, in place of the two that didn’t grow like they were supposed to. I planted some lettuce and everything seems to be growing nice now.

This machine is very nice! Even the color if it is nice. I plan on planting lettuce, along with a bunch of herbs. The size of this is perfect for a kitchen counter or kitchen island. The lighting on it is impressive too. I just set it up and will update as the start to grow, but for hydroponics I think this is a really nice way to learn about it and get your feet wet if you want to go bigger. I also like that I will have lettuce and herbs handy and ready to go right in the kitchen. Love it! Highly recommend this product. Thank you.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Does not come with the “included” grow domes as advertised and even though the company customer service takes full responsibility, they “REFUSES TO HELP” due to them saying the domes are no longer needed and the plants will grow without the domes. Fix the ad if you aren’t going to give customers what’s included in the ad. Maybe offer to send a small gift as an apology for not making good on your side of the order. Nope, nothing. Screw you AeroGarden customer! This purchase is directly from the AeroGarden Amazon store. They need to take responsibility. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! The ad has been up for weeks as they claim they are “working” on fixing it. PULL THE AD DOWN! Incredibly disappointed in what I thought was the leading company in this space. If you are interested in getting ripped off, and having the company fully admit they ripped you off but won’t do anything to fix the situation, AeroGarden is the company for you!

This hydroponic system turned out better than I expected! The pictures I've included are how much my herbed has grown after 19 days. I've already tried snipping larger basil leaves and adding it to cheese tortellini pasta, olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper. I also added some to a bowl of cooked vegetables. The herbs are delicious and have a strong flavor!!

String sturdy unit. Easy instructions. Lights are bright. It does not come with the plastic domes to cover the holes.
