AeroGarden Harvest Elite 360, Stainless

Everything has been thriving!! It was so easy to set up and is easy to maintain. Have not had an issues with it since we got it for Christmas (been a few months). The herbs are delicious and growing vigorously. We can hardly keep up with them! We were concerned the light would be too intense and burn them but that hasn’t been a problem.

Found this small indoor growing station after comparing several similar items. This has been such a fun addition to the kitchen as the family all love to watch the herbs and veggies grow by the day! It takes almost no work or maintenance as the pod system is super easy, you don't need to worry about having a green thumb at all as this thing takes all the thought and skill out of growing. It is nice to have some fresh food readily available and the short grow times make for quick turn arounds between usability in nightly dinners. This system is also versatile and you can do your own seeds if you want, but the ones sold are pretty cheap and make this such an easy system to keep fresh greens coming year-round. Highly recommend it for any kitchen!

I got this about 2 years ago when it was on sale . We have not been without fresh basil since. Dill and Thyme also do very well. I have tried Italian Parsley several times. It never grows. Although the company offers a guarantee, I was never sent a replacement.Holy basil tastes weird. Thai basil is very good. I have never tried it for anything but herbs. If you want to go into business making Genovese pesto, this setup will provide you with tons of basil. This spring I am going to experiment with using my own pods and seeds.Would definitely buy again.

I like this product a lot. Here is my review after a month of use.LED light: The light is much brighter than I expected, so I set lighting on during night time (10 pm to 3 pm) so I dont need to turn on my kichen light when I pass by the kichen at night. It's working pretty good as a night light!Temperature: LED light is also a good source of heating. My kichen was cold (~60F) It seemed that the plants were not happy with this temperature. They became yellow and didnt grow at all. I covered the open area between the LEDs and the water bath with vinyl like a greenhouse. Now they started growing and stopped turning yellow. It's getting warm so I removed the cover.Results: Thyme, two Basil, dill and mint are growing equally well and I think I can harvest anytime soon. Oddly, curly parsley wasn't germinated at all. I think it died. Hmm.... is it possible? Or the seeds weren't good? The environmental issue? I dont know. It is a bit disappointing because fresh parsley was one of my purposes of this purchase.... so I removed one star.In general, if you are carefully see how they grow and take care of the environment, it gives a nice freshness of your daily life (during self-qurantine...) as well as your table!

The instructions are clear to follow. You get two different set of instructions, one for set up and the other about maintaining your herbs. The herb pods are packaged nicely and easy to place into openings. I have had mine for three weeks and have had to trim the Basil and Dill herbs down a lot. The light is going to be on for hours so place it somewhere that the brightness won't bother you. Programming the timer was easy after I had to reprogram it. I wanted it to start really early in the AM so it would turn off at a decent time at night. It's compact, clean and so quite you don't know it's on. The liquid food comes in a small bottle but it should last about 3 months. I would buy it again.

I got it for my sister and she loves it. she wants another one. LOL Now she can plant in the desert with out them dying. And the plants are right where she can use them.

I started some herbs in some good potting soil in a seed tray on my kitchen counter a week before my Aerogarden arrived. I wanted herbs in the kitchen to be easy to use and free of stuff that could get on them outdoors in my garden (bugs, dog and cat pee, etc,) A couple of the herbs started to come up by the time I set up the Aerogarden herbs. I set the herbs in the pots next to the Aerogarden to take advantage of the lights. Within a week, the Aerogarden plants sprouted and shortly overtook the soiled plants. Now I’m having to raise the lights every couple of days with how great they are growing. Except for the curly parsley, for some reason. I’m so glad I purchased this while it was on sale! My seed tray herbs are still quite small and will be transplanted outside.

I liked the stainless steel look and the directions were easy to follow - the unit keeps track of the growing period and when to fill the hydroponic tank with plant food.Looking forward to harvesting in a few weeks!I recommend making sure the germination period is the same for all the plants.

Waste of money. Two stars because pump and light worked, but useless since seeds didn't germinate. Even though you can only purchase through Amazon and not directly from AeroGrow now, be sure to first confirm you're dealing with an authorized dealer. AeroGrow's warranty states that in order to be eligible for a warranty replacement/seed pod replacement, items need to be purchased from an authorized Aerogarden retailer. In our case, AeroGrow would not provide reimbursement for the dead seed pods since our Aerogarden was unknowingly purchased from an unauthorized dealer. Ideally, if Amazon is going to partner with AeroGrow, they should only allow authorized dealers.

This is a potentially great product. Sone if the issues I ran into was the fact that the hood does not afford the plants enough vertical growth. I was forced to prune from the top to prevent scorching of my plants. My parsley Never grew proficiently, and my thyme grew a bit then suddenly died. My mint also was minimal. My Ti basil was beautiful grew so much I thought it best to try to transplant it into a soil pot on my window ceil from there it began to die. I thought it was apparent that these herbs would be transplanted to make room for the germination of others, but maybe that is not what the company had in mind. The implication for future transplantation and the immediate lose of my Ti basil and the fact that some herbs showed minimal or no growth, along with the fact that the hood is not vertivally high enough to avoid scorching of plants that did grow is why I cannot give this product my highest rating. The hood extension should be an easy fix. I would have loved the opportunity at reachable customer service to assist with my issue and a chance at a do over with my initial herb package at no additional cost I believe that the company noted that they would afford customers such an opportunity for those herbs that did not germinate. I could not reach customer service for this assistance. This is a good product don't get me wrong with some tweeks to the issues noted aerogarden would clearly be amongst the top initial garden growing products.
