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!

The AeroGarden Harvest Elite Slim is an absolute game-changer for indoor gardening! Its hydroponic system makes growing herbs and small plants easy and mess-free, even if you don’t have a green thumb. I love that it holds up to 6 pods, so I can grow a variety of herbs like basil, parsley, and mint all at once. The LED grow light is highly efficient and ensures my plants get the light they need, even in rooms with limited sunlight. It’s compact yet stylish, and the platinum finish looks sleek on my kitchen counter, blending in beautifully with my décor. The slim design is perfect for smaller spaces too. The included herb kit is a great starter, and within a few weeks, my herbs were sprouting and growing rapidly. The system is simple to set up and maintain, with helpful reminders for adding water and plant food. If you’re looking for a hassle-free, efficient, and stylish way to grow fresh herbs or small plants indoors, the AeroGarden Harvest Elite Slim is a fantastic option. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves fresh ingredients but lacks the outdoor space for gardening.

I am absolutely loving this! I had never done the hydroponics thing before, so this seemed like a good cheap way to start. Planted 3 lettuce plants, one spinach, a dill plant, and a parsley plant. Am dehydrating dill right now, had a salad with my lettuce yesterday. Everything is super easy, great way to get a little produce through the winter months. I think I will just keep doing my herbs in this thing throughout the year instead of outside. Just ordered a 2nd one this morning, a little bigger. Highly recommend.

I bought this for my husband who LOVES to cook, especially with fresh herbs. He planted the six pods as instructed and waited. We watered when the light went on and waited and waited. Suddenly the dill and the two different basils sprang up like weeds. The mint eventually came up and it grew fast. They grew so fast, we had enough fresh herbs to share with friends. The system is easy to set up and the light is easy to adjust when the plants grow. Fantastic and will buy another. So why only four stars? Two of the pods didn't come up at all. However, with that said, the other four came up so fast and hardy that there may not have been enough room for the other herbs if they did start to grow. Be patient with the pods. Ours came up later than what was estimated.

Receive my first garden as a Christmas gift. Have since purchased three others – a bigger one for myself – plus gifts for other family members. Super easy to use. super successful at germination. So nice to be able to make a salad with fresh tomato and lettuce, to have fresh herbs for my meals – nothing beats fresh basil on pizza – fresh thyme, with butter for steaks. My 88-year-old relative was no longer able to work in her garden outside – so now she has her aerogarden inside. She loves it!

Good product!! Don’t know why you can’t buy the light, this is my 3 rd Aerogarden only the light dies!! Need replacement lights??

I was really excited to get this little garden but the light never went on. I tried to get an exchange since I bought it during Amazon days for family holiday present, but Amazon would not offer exchange (only refund) and Aerogarden would not honor the 90 day warranty because they are closing (so no warranty really). They said they are reopening but they still would not help because by the time they reopen the warranty would be over (what?) I really do not get it, but a broken item on Amazon days and only recourse is to refund discounted item and buy at full price if you would like a working product...Thanks (Happy Holidays) Sorry for the rant so disappointed in Amazon & Aerogarden. Please also know that although product states it is stainless steel the inside is plastic, it did not list that on the description, paying the extra for stainless steel model is a bit worthless since it is cosmetic.

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 an inbloom which works wonderfully. This is my first Aerogarden and I'm not sure if the price is justified. I do like that the grow lights generate a lot of heat and the water tank is detachable. However, only the Genovese and Thai basils sprouted after a month. The dill and curly parsley struggled for some days before giving up. The mint and thyme pods came empty so 🤷‍♀️. Contacted the seller for a replacement (as per Aerogarden germination guarantee) and was told they would check but I have not heard from them since. I also can't seem to message the seller anymore.

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.

This is the workhorse of Aerogarden. The off brand hydroponic grow systems sell for $100 or less, and they come and go. We should support Aerogarden because their R&D department develop and giving us the best system for long long time. I usually write down how much nutrients I added and when I top up with water in the index card, so I don't need the digital reminder from the Elite version. But this is the same price of regular version when on sale for CAD 60. Why not. I have 6 Aerogardens right now and I would not hesitate to buy more, when they are on sale.

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