Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super easy to assemble, it’s pretty big so have a enough room. The herbs and lettuce it comes with is abundant. The screen is user friendly, and so is the App. It will alert your phone if it needs more water, when more plant food (that comes with it ) needs to be added. Over all I am pleased. And you can YouTube or Google variances of how to grow everything. It’s pricey, but I purchased mine of a “Deal of the Day”

I am a long time fan of AeroGarden, this is basically a giant one - since usually they are counter-top units. I am growing a Roma tomato plant that will get to 3 feet tall - perfect for this unit. The app control works, I even added air stones to mine to really pump up the growth. Check the picture, the results speak for themselves!

I am familiar with countertop aerogardens, and this one is so very much larger! My tomatoes and cucumber are growing great. However, several of the herbs did not take. However, I am very excited. Six inches of growth after about 1 month.

I love the AeroGarden farms, I have 7 total, but DO NOT buy from Best Buy. They sell old, outdated models. I bought two of the 12XLs on clearance. Both of them came with seed pod kits that expired in 2021, the old style non functional trellis and will not stay connected to WIfi. They otherwise work ok, but beware that Best Buy is shipping extremely old, out of warranty products. You can get brand new products at extremely good prices when they go on sale on the manufacturer’s website. I recommend that route instead of Best Buy

This item was much better than I expected. Very easy to assemble and even easier to plant. I did have to buy some more supplies/seed pods as it did not come with any that would have taken advantage of the extra height this model offers.

I love my Aerogardens. I purchased a 24xl from Best Buy for $499.99 (really good sale price at the time). My photo I posted has a Aerogarden 24 basic on top. I was worried it would be difficult to see the top display, but I'm 6'1" and im just tall enough where I don't need a step stool to see both displays. The assembly: The assembly is pretty easy, though a few of the holes for the bottom metal support bars don't line up, or just aren't drilled well. I was able to put the bolts in with some force, and at an angle and seems to be fine. Setup: The display is pretty intuitive and connecting to wifi was a breeze. The mobile app is an exact replication of the display. I do find it slightly annoying I have to turn my phone sideways to use it. Thoughts so far 2 weeks in: I absolutely love my Aerogardens. I purchased a seed starting tray off of Aerogardens website to eventually transplant the seedlings outdoors, which can be seen on the bottom left of my photo. I did invest in an air pump and airstones, as many people online swear by the extra oxygen in the water. I also purchased a magnetic temperature gauge so I can monitor the room temp, as hydroponic plants don't like warm conditions. The light panels do let off some considerable heat, so plan on buying fans to prevent tip burn. The fans I have are Vornado fans, I purchased two different sizes, and after some use, I think the smaller fan is suitable. The only other advice I would recommend is joining some Facebook groups to learn tips and tricks from others. I'm pretty well versed growing in soil, but it's a learning curve with hydroponics. Happy growing!

Lettuce in a week. Delivers as promised. Easy assembly. Effortless. Can't wait to try other vegetables.

Love it, got a great deal from bestbuy last summer and i wanted go big or go home trying this aerogarden out. It has really brought my hardening to the next level. I bought the seed starter kit which let me set up my spring garden in a big way with kale, cabbage, strawberries and much more

I think this is one the of best looking indoor gardening option that is also super easy to use. Plants grow incredibly well without much care. It’s also quite soothing and exciting to watch them grow.

Easy to assemble by myself and get started. Designed well for easy assembly. I bought while on extreme sale so wasn't too worried about details on what seed packets came with it. Mine was a 12x pack of all tomatoes though, so not what I expected in the salad bar mix. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the trellis comes with it.

I was skeptical with this purchase but caught it on sale for $399 and I am very impressed. Easy to use. Grows just about anything with ease. Very little work involved. Love it.

Day 20 and all 3 of our jumbo veggies are going strong. Easy setup and assembly, it probably took less than hour altogether. We love how the unit itself is sleek and not an eyesore in our living room. I am definitely considering another unit for herbs (apparently, it is not recommended to mix “tall” plants with short plants). For the jumbo veggies, instructions say to not plant more than 3 even though the unit technically has 12 spots.

Love this unit. Plenty big. Accommodates multiple plants at once. Tells you when to water and feed. Only issue is the the starter pack included has expired seeds that didn’t grow

This is our second AeroGarden product, and really love it - The tomatoes it produced look awesome and taste great. The app needs some help, but is good for keeping you updated on water level and feeding schedule. Just have to remember to move the light up so it doesn't cook the leaves at the top!

The AeroGarden Farm 12 XL is wonderful. I have two of these units. I am growing Sweet Bell Peppers and Poblano Peppers in one and Jalapenos in the other. My children love watching the plants and helping me tend to them. It's a wonderful way to bring life and fresh produce into your home. The unit controls your light cycle and water aeration automatically. It will tell you when you need to add water and plant food. It also gives you three feet of growth height clearance.

Im in love with this in as little as a few weeks i have tomatoes and cucumbers So delicious

Where to begin... well AeroGarden is: The. Next. Big. Thing! 5-Stars hands down! :D Think, this is sustainable, ecologically friendly, and good for you! There is no greater satisfaction than seeing some small budding seedlings poking out through the green foil stickers and taking immense pride in having cared for these plants that can either be used for your kitchen or for their aesthetic appeal by their flowers or fruits/vegetables. This Farm 24XL system is comprehensive and well designed to keep your new and beginner gardener in mind. Do not feel intimidated at anything other than the slightly competitive price because setup is well illustrated in the directions and the design is intuitive to a point that it’s not overly difficult. Perhaps you might have to work a screw in slightly but beyond this there are no hidden surprises or complications. For use and practicable implementation, after setup, use is a breeze! Simply navigate via high-resolution touch screen or download the App via App Store (iPhone) or Google Play for Android. There is a plethora of settings that you can make minute tweaks too but if you’re just simply starting out, the Quick Plant option easily walks you through what to do so that you’re an instant gardener in minutes (<10-minutes after installation). To capitalize on those user adjustable settings for the mild or professional home gardener you can: adjust light cycles, light intensity, pump settings, plant pod type, and more! The user friendly interface is loaded with touch friendly and aesthetic menu options with 0-lag or that latency akin to non-smart screens. As for the gardening experience itself there is a full comprehensive system in the box alone BUT! a completely open and customizable setup that you can certainly add on too but not required to. For instance, you can grow enough lettuce on one side of the 24XL and still feed a small family of 3-4 about twice a week initially. On the other hand you can also grow a budding set of peppers on the other side and have enough to dry and use while still having an ample amount to spare. User experience will vary but your satisfaction is almost guaranteed, trust me you will enjoy this thoroughly. For additional support and guarantee, the customer service team is top-notch and we must keep some consideration in mind that they are beset by big orders constantly still from Christmas, COVID-19 staffing reductions and shipping impacts but they are doing their best. They stick by their product and will warranty and help by meeting and exceeding your expectations if you can just be patient. The only people being negative are ones that are maintaining unrealistic expectations of a quick turnaround time of 1-2 day resolutions. In an Amazon-esque first world, I think maybe having a bit of patience and temperance will instead enrich your experience rather than dampen it. If you can wait 1-2 weeks for their shipping resolution in the event of the rare instance you have a problem then I’m sure you’ll be happy in the long run. As far as price on return on investment (ROI), obviously this is their most expensive system but it has the best ROI because it is the most hands off and hands on version available. For instance, hands off, it can be connected via voice app to Amazon Alexa but also navigated and adjusted via app. What this means is, you don’t have a simple “dumb” vacation mode that simply cuts light cycle time and instead you can adjust light height, light on/off time, pump cycle time, and more ALL REMOTELY! Additionally, for hands on experience, the sheer volume of price-per-pod is the most competitive of all of AeroGarden systems because believe it or not, this is the cheapest option for price per pod since you get all the premium luxury options as well, essentially for free. Between me and my girlfriend and our families, we have 6-Farm 24XLs and we love them! One last thought for consideration for those on the fence, the 60-Watt LED light panels have a life of approximately 5-years and can be replaced. Their energy efficiency has been mapped via AeroGarden website and basically, if I can enjoy this system in Hawaii of all places at a minimal impact upon electricity (where it is the most expensive in all 50-states) then I’m certain you can make this the least of your problems. So do pick one or two up (buy the stacking kit if you want to save room like we did!) and start gardening today! Check out the Reddit r/AeroGarden for a whole community and network of individuals who have also taken part of this journey as well. Enjoy and happy gardening!

Easy setup. Starting germination process yesterday on Christmas day. 6 to 8 weeks we should have some jalapenos. Light came on at 8 am just like it was supposed to. We will see .

. Summary: If you like gardening, or if you like the satisfaction of growing your own food or herbs, and you want to do it indoors (winter is coming), then you want an AeroGarden system. I can recommend it without hesitation. Even if gardening traditionally hasn’t been your thing, this isn’t exactly digging in the dirt, fighting bugs, and weeding. It’s simply turn-key planting and harvesting and even the brownest of thumbs will succeed and enjoy. Want to dip your toe in? Start with a small system, then graduate to a 'Farm.' The Farm 12 XL is ideal for taller plants like tomatoes. Pros: - Turn-key Indoor Reusable Gardening System - Easy to set up. Solid construction. Very stable. - Easy to use. Worry free automated system with a digital touch screen display/control panel and App (not required but nice) WI-FI. - Low power, low temperature LED lights - No dirt, no bugs, no weeding. Just add water (and plant food) - Upgrade path with different sized systems for other farming applications. - The tall size is ideal for taller plants. - Complete on-line ordering supplies for future re-planting. Cons: - The initial investment is substantial. It’s an investment in the long term. Nitpick: - The Farm 12 XL comes with standard lettuce and herb pods. Lettuce? That doesn’t show off the additional height. Suitable for: - Grows virtually anything. Yes, even ‘that.’ Maybe, given the high level of self-contained automation, pristine environment, and height, it is especially good for growing ‘that.’ Up front, we (wife and I) are such a fan of the AeroGarden concept/execution the Farm 12 XL is our third indoor farm. So this is both a review of AeroGarden as an indoor farm family and the Farm 12 XL specifically. Let’s address the green elephant in the room. You are probably wondering, 'but is it worth the money?' I know I was skeptical with the first one before we set it up. But short answer is yes, it is worth every penny. Nothing beats picking fresh tomatoes and herbs right in your own kitchen, especially when the effort is so minimal. You are paying for simplicity, low upkeep, re-use and quality plants. And you can go on vacation and come home to Eden. Our AeroGarden addiction started with the original small scale (end table) Harvest Elite (a Christmas present) where we grew the included lettuce and herbs. After the first harvest we switched to herbs exclusively. Right away we were impressed with how easy it was to use for indoor gardening, trouble and maintenance free. Input the appropriate light settings, turn it on and forget it. Plug it in, add water (and plant food), and watch it grow. And because the environment is so optimized, the plants grow faster than they commonly do outside. It’s a fully automated system, when it needs water it lets you know. It’s clean. It’s quiet. No dirt. No mess. Just magic. Kidding. But the AeroGarden botanists have worked out the science for you. From the table top system, we graduated to the family farm, 24 pod (individual plants) capability, two separate control environments, 24 inches tall, much much larger, and now it feels like a productive system not just a hobby. But the tomatoes rapidly grew taller than the 24 inches height. And so when a 36 inch tall system came on the market we jumped to expand our indoor farm. Which brings me to the Farm 12 XL. The rest of this review focuses on it solely. It’s 12, for 12 plantable pods in a 252 sq inch foot print (14 x 18 inch), and XL for 36 inches tall (versus 24 for the standard farm). It arrives in a well-packed, large box (see pics). One person can handle and assemble it, but it was fun and easier for the two of us to do. The system comes in modular components that were simple to bolt together, though you will have to consult the instructions. All in all it took us about a half hour in Total, but there were libations involved. Absolutely everything you need for assembly is included (including the hex key). There were two extra bolts that made us pause and think we missed something, but no, they were extra (really). Once assembled it is easy for one person to move it around (before planting). Good solid construction. The lighting system is LEDs, so low power, no heat. The touch screen for controlling the lighting sequence is intuitive. The water and food notices are easy to see. I can’t imagine how the system could be easier to use except for hiring a gardener. It comes with everything you need for your first crop, and anything you need for re-planting can be re-ordered for reasonable cost on the AeroGarden website. You will want to clean it thoroughly between plantings. The overall form factor will make it easy to place in your home. On the floor. On a table. Even, in a closet. It’s height is ideal for tall plants like tomatoes, roses, well anything tall and bushy. My college graduate son was particularly intrigued by the opportunities to take advantage of the height. For most crops, you won’t be able to rationalize getting it solely on cost. For example, you can buy tomatoes year round for cheaper. But not fresher. And not with the same sense of joy that comes from picking off the vine and popping into your mouth in the comfort of your own home in the dead of winter. You are buying it more for entertainment than production output. I have recommended the AeroGarden system to my father and friends, and without exception, they all thanked me. Sharing tips and crops has become a common activity for us all.

Went together easily and everything worked after setting everything up and putting in the seed pods it is now two weeks later and I have a bunch of plants growing. We will have lots of greens and tomatoes for this winter
