The Aerogarden is probably the easiest way to grow fresh vegetables year-round. The pods are pre-seeded and all you need to do is add water and the fertilizer. This is the slim version which can be placed virtually anywhere. It provides the timer, light, and schedule so all you have to do is add water and fertilizer when it reminds you, so messing it up is rather difficult. As an afterthought, it would be a great way to introduce children to gardening. The second photo I am posting is after 22 days from unpacking to fresh produce which is really fast. There are a few cons, however, and these include dead pods (one did not germinate), limited grow space which causes plant crowding (a trade off because of the size), and the high cost of the pods—if ordered separately—is rather steep for a simple-formed plastic base with the soil mix (the plastic is probably reusable but getting the formed soil pack might be difficult). My last issue is that the directions are a little disorganized. In hindsight, it is very easy to use, but finding out what to do took a little bit of hunting and label reading. For example, I found only one location where it suggests the fertilizing amount is only on the bottle and lists only “capfuls” as opposed to ml or teaspoons and one location where it recommends using distilled water. These do not detract from the ease of use of the Aerogarden. Lastly, the overall its overall value is another consideration. This is not designed to save you money. That is not the point. I can’t, for example, imagine growing enough food to pay for itself anytime soon, however, if having quick easy access to fresh vegetables important it is definitely a winner. The slim version is great for one or two people, but with more people in your home a larger version would be better suited if you have the space.

The AeroGarden is excellent. Very easy set up and works better than expected. I tried going veggies indoors during the Spring months and failed in the end. I started the growing process 1 day after I received my order and the results are amazing!! Its been 16 days and four of my six pods (heirloom salad) are about 2-3 inches high already. Sometimes germination takes a little longer for the seed pod varieties, but I am happy with what I have right now. I am going to purchase another so I can grow herbs in one and different veggies in another. Who knows, maybe I will buy two more. You definitely, will not be disappointed with this purchase.

I purchased 2 of these as Christmas gifts and my mom immediately started using it. Maybe 3 weeks in, and she’s already growing lettuces. She gave me updates on their growth and it’s been super fast results! I plan to buy another for myself!

Easy to set up. Very bright, set up in a room where bright light won’t bother you when sleeping. The initial pods are showing after a week, really showing after 2 weeks growth. We got the flowers, looking forward to when they’re full grown.

I have never been able to keep anything alive with standard gardening, but this thing does all the work for you! I love it, and I even have some herbs that have already sprouted!! Not to mention it is a great conversation starter- everyone that has visited me has asked about it :) after I master the herbs kit that came with it I am totally going to try the grow anything kits with my own seeds and see how they turn out.

I absolutely love the aero garden. This is my second one. I totally love watching my tomatoes and petunias grow I check on them multiple times daily and if I can find the space I'll get another one.

I've always liked having plants around but always end up killing them with my black thumb. In comes the AeroGarden and now I have a green thumb!
Ordering and doing curbside pick up was simple and easy. Once I got home, I unpacked my AeroGarden and read through the instructions. Simple setup and in 30 minutes, was on my way.
Got my first sprout in 4 days and everyday it's so exciting to see my garden grow. Highly recommend!

This product is the bomb. Grows things so fast and definitely an attention getter. Beat your Covid isolation by growing beautiful flowers and plants. Wife saw it and at first said she would not have anything to do with it. She checked it out every day and then ended up buying one. Then she told her friends and they bought units. Then she ended up buying units for the kids. This thing is addictive.

I was very sceptical, but this is an amazing home garden. Very easy to set up, and I've had amazing results in just 20 days. I'm almost ready to harvest some of the lettuces. I may purchase another garden for tomatoes, or fresh flowers. Pictures are from Day 4 till Day 20.

This thing could not be easier. I love gardening and needed a green fix in the middle of winter. Best Buy delivered it the same day I ordered it. Setup was simple and it started sprouting in days. The attached pic is about 3 weeks in with the lettuce pack.

Amazing product! It's so easy to use and very fun watching your plants grow, and they grow fast! We bought some additional herb pods as well. We were able to prune after just 3 weeks! This was our go to Christmas gift for several of our family members, and they all love theirs!

Writing this review after monitoring growth over six weeks. Delighted to see flower bloom on the 44th day adding color to the Living Room in winter. Overall very happy with this purchase. Easy setup and monitoring alert for plant food, water with no mess in maintenance.

Really easy to setup and grow your veggies! It twlls you when to add the fertilizer and water. It will also keep count of how old your plants are. I'm satisfied with this unit after having it for almost a month. I wish I bought the bigger one because I can only grow enough salad for one meal for my wife and I.

At first I was hesitant to buy this since I do not have any idea how plants would grow in the water so cross my fingers and whoa it’s a miracle the lettuce grew like crazy and I am very happy will continue buying their pods
