AeroGarden Harvest Elite, Stainless Steel

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.

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!

I just love the arrow gardens. The light is very bright and sprouts almost anything. Now I just need to figure out how to get less algae or green on the sponges. This happens with every system though so I’m still keeping the five stars because I think it’s par for the course when it comes to hydroponics

Overall, I like it. It's attractive and seems to work well and the price was right. All my pods sprouted. I took off one star because, like so many others reported, the plastic domes were missing, and I found the LED controls to be touchy and response inconsistent. The missing domes were not a problem for me because I had some from my previous AeroGarden (Sprout). I'll purchase additional domes and pods as offered by amazon for my next planting. I don't look forward to changing any settings or resetting because I don't like the LED controls. I actually preferred the Sprout (for settings) which was preset and trouble free but only has 3 pods. I do like the display of time and days remaining before needing to add fertilizer. Overall, I think it is a good buy at the reduced price.

Lettuce seeds have sprouted after 7 days! I had to order new seeds as my older ones wouldn’t sprout. I also planted spinach in my red aero garden.. nothing has sprouted as of yet. I used filtered water because our tap water is hard and didn’t get any success the first go around. Very happy with the new style.. remember they are TOUCH buttons not push like on the older models. The red model is about 5 years old and still works great. Don’t waste your money on the off name brands.

I ordered this as a replacement for a defective aerogarden. The old one did not turn on and the new one worked for less than 3 hours before the menu option quit. It is disappointing to say the least. I have owned several that grew old and died. Not the last two, they died in infancy. I feel like the company is taking great pleasure in taking my money for a worthless product.

Before purchasing the Aerogarden Elite, I had bought two different knock-off brands that were much less expensive -- but also didn't work very well. It was nearly impossible to tell the water levels on them, whereas with the Aerogarden it's easy - and it also lets you know when you need to add food too. Plus the Aerogarden has a pump that recirculates the water rather than letting it just sit and get all slimy. I have been absolutely thrilled with the results -- thick bushy cherry tomato plants, jalapenos, and lettuce so far. Note that unless you have bugs flying around in your house, you will probably need to hand germinate the blossoms -- easy to do with a small paintbrush, and just swab from flower to flower and something is sure to stick. (Pro tip: I have tried sprouting and planting strawberry seeds but I wouldn't recommend it -- you do have to sprout them first, which is really a pain. Then out of 100 or more seeds that you sprout, at least for me, only 3 of them grew and two of those didn't survive.) I'm really thrilled with this for herbs and tomatoes.

I like the machine and its easy to use, however out of the 6 pods in the starter kit - 4 haven't come up and we are now at day 22!

I have now ordered 2 of these lovely countertop gardens; and I have no major complaints. Product works as expected, is very easy to use, provides reminders for all upkeep. My only slight complaint, is only 4 out of 6 pods sprouted out of each starter herb pack, I’d have preferred they all sprouted. Side note; I have made a habit of placing my baby succulents/plants aside the Aerogarden, and they, too, are thriving from the extra light. Also, an added bonus is the excellent Black Friday sale price this was on for.

Las plantas crecen mucho más rápido 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.

Great product, yes a but expensive but it’s the talk of our family especially with the fresh herbs

Super, alles funktioniert und optisch perfekt. Leider musste ich mir noch einen Euro Stecker dazukaufen, da er nicht dabei war. Was ich auch schade fand, es war keine Beschreibung auf Deutsch dabei. Aber sonst war alles super
