This is an excellent option. A solid brand that offers more reliability and a warranty unlike ultra cheap generic brands but not NEAR as expensive as the big name brands while still giving you the same quality product.I actually bought two seperate inbloom systems. This large one and a smaller one. Comparing the two side by side this one definitely has a major perk but a few downsides as well. I'm honestly surprised. I would expect the systems to maintain the same quality. The downsides of this are really only compared to the other system of the same brand!The perks -The biggest perk is that if you manually turn the light off it will still keep track of the time and turn on 8 hours later. Living in a rural area the power sometimes flickers. Meaning the system totally resets and the grow lights may be on all night long. With this one I can just tap the light button before bed and 8 hours later it will turn on. With the smaller one if you tap the button it totally turns off the lighting, meaning I must manually turn it on the following day.The water gauge is enclosed in sturdy glass, no need to worry about bumping it.The drawbacks -The pieces between the two systems aren't really interchangeable. The smaller system includes stakes for plants and this one does not. However, the smaller systems stakes are too thick to use in this. I solved this by using chopsticks. The grow baskets are also different sizes. If I get them mixed up the basket for the smaller system will sit about 1cm raised out of the slot of this system.The smaller system is also a little better engineered overall. No knob to raise or lower the lamp. No extra wiring running from the base to the lamp. Small things that make it feel nicer.All in all it's still a great product. A few caveats but nothing I wouldn't notice if I wasn't comparing two products from the same brand. I'd definitely recommend it.

Love, love, love this garden experience. Spent 7 years planting outside in raised planters. Manage to disappoint year after year. This hydroponic garden surprise me everyday. To wake to see a new seedling amazingBest decision ever.

I’m growing flowers for the upcoming Mother’s Day! Instructions are easy to follow. Very quiet! My cat’s water fountain is louder than this. Automatic light and pump. Makes growing sooo simple. The images are from overnight! This is morning three of planting these seeds! I am super stoked.

Love it!!! So cool and it works!!!

Easy setup but if you start and finish the “Installation Steps” before reading the entire pamphlet, you’ll have to start over. The detailed planting instructions are on the back side. Annoying… The product quality is good. Would be 5 stars if the instructions were better laid out.

It was as advertised.

Very easily pulled together. In 2 days I saw growth in my spinach and peppers.

I was very disappointed when the wrong item arrived. we had ordered a white unit to match the kitchen but the seller shipped a black one. At my three year old botanist's insistence we kept the black model so she could start planting right away. Set up was fairly easy, but we were again disappointed when the unit did not come with the plant steaks shown in the picture. The water pump on this unit is also broken. I would exchange the unit for a functioning one but transportation to the post office is tricky so we will just keep this model and hope the plants do not grow algae or mold. Other reviewers mentioned the water gauge did not work, ours appears to work well, but we have only had the unit for 24 hours, I will post an update as the water level drops. The directions were a bit vague, we were not sure if the nutrient mix was to be added per liter of water or just total volume. This was not a big deal though, we just decided to split the difference and add 10 ml of each nutrient. We were also not sure if we should thin the plants out after the seeds start to sprout. All in all though the 3 year old loved setting up the plant baskets, mixing the nutrients (she just shook the bottles), adding the water and dirt, setting the domes. If the unit was the correct color and had a working pump we would be in love. But at the price point, right now it is just a bowl of water and a grow lamp.
