AeroGarden Bounty Elite - Indoor Garden with LED Grow Light, WiFi and Alexa Compatible, Stainless Steel

Overpriced in the UK

This is my 3rd Aerogarden. I love them.

**** WOW!! **** THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST INSIDE HYDROPONIC GROWING SYSTEM-- EVER!! IT'S --TRULY-- THE ULTIMATE!! AND, JUST WOW!!-- IT REALLY IS SO VERY EASY- FOR ME AND THE KIDS!! WE'VE TRIED MANY OTHERS... AND JUST RECENTLY, ANOTHER BRAND THAT WAS ON SALE DURING THE 2 AWESOME AMAZON SALES DAYS!! BUT, THE OTHER BRAND WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED. IT'S TRUE THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. THIS AEROGARDEN ELITE, IS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST BUYS I'VE EVER MADE. IT'S REALLY IMPRESSED ME, EMENSELY!! I WAS TFULY SHOCKED ON HOW EASY IT WAS TO SET UP AND GET STARTED. I'M NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINED... BUT, IT WAS REALLY SO SIMPLE & SO EASY FOR ME TO DO, ALONE! I IMPRESSED THE HUBBY. **** THE AEROGARDEN ELITE, IS THE ONE I BOUGHT... AND, I AM SOOO GLAD THAT I DID! IT'S SOO WELL MADE, IT LOOKS GTEAT- GOES WITH EVERYTHING, NO MATTER WHICH ROOM I PUT IT IN. IT ACTUALLY TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO, AND WHEN!! THERE'S NO GUESSING, NO FORGETTING ANYTHING, ETC.. - IT'S JUST SO EASY!! *** I FOUND OUT THE BASE PLATFORM HAS BEEN INCREADED AND IS NOW SO BIG & HAS 9 PLANTING AREAS... THAT IT'S SO STURDY AND STABLE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT GROWING VEGETABLES (even ones that'll require small trellises, before they grow up to 2 feet tall & you can prune them, constantly, to make them THICKER, not just tall and look "limby".... they'll be REALLY bushy and BEAUTIFUL!! - which helps them stay healthier and become much THICKER and heartier, before you replant them)- SO THEY'RE READY FOR HARVEST, FOR SALADS, ETC... THAT ARE FRESH CUT... AND ANY HERBS, PEPPERS, ETC.! I CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR 2nd PLANTING IT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY INDOOR HYDROPONIC GROWING SYSTEM THAT CAN ACTUALLY USE OTHER PRODUCTS, LIKE MIRACLE GROW & HAS KITS, SO YOU CAN PLANT ANYTHING YOU WANT TO. WE STARTED BY GROWING FRESH CATGRASS AND FRESH CATNIP... WHICH ALL SPROUTED SO FAST- LIKE JUST DAYS!! IT'S BEEN SOOO MUCH FUN WATCHING THE CATS "MUNCH" AWAY, AS THEY CONTINUE TO GROW... AND, THEY HAVEN'T HURT THE PLANTS, AT ALL! THE KIDS ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT THEY PLANTED A GARDEN JUST FOR OUR FUR BABIES AND WATCHING THEM REALLY "LOVE" EATING THEIR OWN GARDEN-- MAKES THEM SO HAPPY & THEY HAVE SO MUCH FUN! -- ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT THEY PLANTED THEM. IT'S GIVEN OUR KIDS A LOT OF JOY AND A MAJOR SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT! WE DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO BE A "LEARNING EXPERIENCE", AT ALL. BUT, IT HAS BECOME A MAJOR ONE. THE BEST PART IS THAT OUR KIDS DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT THEY'RE LEARNING ABOUT ANYTHING, AT ALL. THEY'RE ACTUALLY LEARNING A WHOLE LOT; ABOUT PLANTING, GROWING, TAKING CARE OF THEIR PETS. SOON, THEY WILL BE HARVESTING ON THEIR OWN, AFTER WE PLANT OUR OWN GARDEN- FOR THE FAMILY. I'LL TEACH THEM HOW TO "PRUNE" THE YOUNGLING PLANTS, TO MAKE THE PLANTS AS THICK AND LUSH AS POSSIBLE, BEFORE IT'S TIME FOR US TO BE ABLE TO START TAKING FRESH CUTTINGS DIRECTLY FROM THE PLANTS, TO PUT IN OUR OWN RECIPES!! THE FRESHER THE INGREDIENTS, THE BETTER THE FOOD WILL TASTE... AND, THAT'S JUST GUARANTEED BY NATURE, ITSELF!! I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE TIME FOR THAT TO START HAPPENING!! THEY TRULY --LOVE-- SHOWING OUR FUR BABIES HOW MUCH THEY'RE LOVED & BEING ABLE TO GROW FOOD THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY NEEDING MORE OF, IN THEIR DIET & THAT'S ACTUALLY SO GOOD FOR THEM-- AND NEEDED. "INSIDE CATS" DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO GRASS FIBER GROWING OUTSIDE... AND, THE WRONG KIND OF GRASS, WILL GET THEM SICK OR REALLY UPSET THEIR STOMACHS AND MAKE THEM THROW UP EVERYWHERE. OUTSIDE, THEY EAT GRASS- TO HELP SETTLE THEIR TUMMIES OR THEY HAVE A NATURAL "CRAVING" FOR GRASS AND FIBER. GROWING THE RIGHT CAT GRASS ASSURES US THAT THEY'LL BE GETTING THE COMPLETE NUTRITION THEY NEED & FIBER, AND WE KNOW THAT THIS GRASS WON'T MAKE THEM SICK.... --AND, WON'T HAVE ANY PESTICIDES OR CHEMICALS ON IT, FROM BEING OUTSIDE, IN THE YARDS. WE LOVE OUR AEROGARDEN ELITE!!-- I HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE DECIDE TO BUY IT... CAUSE IT'S DEFINITELY BEEN WORTH IT AND A LOT OF FUN FOR THE FAMILY!!

I loved this thing out of the box. Very easy to set up and I started with four pods of salad greens (which all turned out to be red leaf lettuce) plus thyme, dill and Italian parsley. I also ordered some of the plant your own pods and some seeds, so five days after initial setup I planted a Tiny Tim tomato and a miniature pepper plant.ALL of the pods germinated within the first week, even those that were labeled as taking 2-3 weeks to germinate. The lettuce is growing gang busters, and I got to harvest after only 3 weeks. Now to be sure, this is not enough lettuce to feed a family, but a fresh personal salad or two each week is nice. I just trim a few leaves here and there as they start to get tall and block light to other plants. And then new leaves grow.The dill was maybe a mistake for me: it grows fast and tall, and if you trim it, it just gets bushier. And I don't use that much dill. (But it sure smells nice when I cut it.) I also made a mistake planting the thyme in the back amidst the lettuce: it's a shorter plant and constantly in danger of having its light blocked by the lettuce. But it's doing well, and so is the parsley. (The pods are labeled as to whether plants are tall or short; I just didn't notice this at first when I planted.)The tomato plant is about 5 inches high after 4 weeks; the pepper similar. I have no idea how long it will take them to produce something edible. But you know what? I don't care. The whole thing looks so lush and I so enjoy watching green things grow ... and no weeding! And no bugs!Right after setup I ordered another one for my daughter, who planted only herbs. And recently I ordered still another one of these for myself, this time to plant flowers and perhaps expand my lettuce supply.Now there are a couple of things to know:The first is that the LED lights are VERY bright. You need a room for this where no one is disturbed by the bright light because they have to be on 11-14 hours a day. Fortunately, you can set the schedule to work best for you: mine goes off at 10 pm.The second is that Aerogarden doesn't tell you up front that they are going to recommend removing all the water and replacing it sometime before the third or 4th feeding. And for this you need a siphon. Aerogarden sells one (and you can get it here on Amazon) but there are other choices as well. Just keep this in mind and have one on hand before your first month is up.Otherwise, I'm just delighted with this device. I noticed there's a version for kids that has windows in the base so they can see the roots growing. I might have to consider that for a birthday present because my granddaughter keeps taking the lid off to look in and see all the roots.

So this is my 3rd Aerogarden model i have a 24plus and a harvest. Really like the look and the functionality of the bounty elite. Connects to the app unlike alot of reviews ive seen, but ive had no issues. Certain models dont connect so you gotta do you reaserch and read the description fully to make sure you have one that connects ( different year different function.) I made this mistake but i was able to change my order before it was shipped. Some are younger models same look but way different when it comes to what they do.Also just because the pictures show to put all your pods in which is fine if your growing herbs and lettuces, but dont do it with tomatoes and peppers you will have over crowded plants it will be hard to maintain and youll have a mess and possible plant loss unless you transplant to a garden at an early stage because they need space to grow. Currently i have 3 peppers in mine and even then i think that maybe pushing it because they are taller varieties. Also cover your holes or you will get alge. Which is not horrble but its gross and messy. The caps dont come with the unit only if you buy them seperate or with a pepper kit. Also the lights i have set to go off by midnight and come on at 9am. To prevent the light from being so bright i bought a seethrough mesh material to go over the unit i left pics below was about 5 bucks at walmart. Another option is to turn the light down but i dont like to do that unless the plant requires me to.Now the things i love bout it. Its so much quieter than my other models. The pump is attached to the lid so when you go to clean its like wiping out a bowl so much easier than having to tie cords up and not get them wet super simple. The display is nice as well so far my sensors read perfectly and the app works fine there are somany features from vacation mode to personalizing settings for pumps. There is even a sunrise sunset mode and you can change the time to gradually increase/decrease the light when they come on so its like they are outside. Overall very happy with this model for being so compact it does alot. Its on the expensive side but with all it does simplicity and all it worth it to have the ease of mind.

I purchased this as I thought it would be fun to have around the kitchen for both something to look at and actually to add to our meals. Overall, I am super impressed with this Aerogarden. I am both fascinated by how easy it can be to grow a small garden anywhere. Also, I learned a bit about plants and how awesome they can be grown. Green Lettuce is pretty fun to add to the garden. It grows super fast, and you could be eating a pretty decent salad within a couple of weeks from starting the garden. Another fun plant to grow is Basil. Basil grew like a weed within a month. When these plants start to take off, they will grow super fast in no time to add to your dishes.We had to buy the salad green pod kit separately, but it was worth it. The LCD is pretty helpful as you will get new tips every day on what you could be doing to your garden to make it better or some fun plant facts. It is also beneficial to know the water level and to help you understand when is the best time to add some water to the tank. The light hood can get a little warm to the touch but nothing too hot.The light does extend up for much taller plants like tomatoes or peppers. I haven't grown tomatoes or peppers myself, but it is an excellent option in the future. The aerogarden hardly uses any power, and I haven't noticed any price increase from my power bill with buying it. The price is slightly steep, but I think it is worth it. I probably would start with the smaller 6-pod Aerogarden or the Aerogarden 360 one, but the LCD is a nice add-on with the wifi integration.Overall, I think this is a fun and fabulous gift, especially for the holiday, and would surprise someone with how cool they can be over time. I would recommend it if the price isn't too crazy; otherwise, the smaller Aerogarden is just as fun and cool!
