Customer Reviews for AeroGarden Harvest Elite Stainless Home Garden System

Love it! I grew several abundant salad greens crops from just one planting. Nice color (Sage) bowl and easy to use.

I love my AeroGarden and have already harvested lettuce three times since getting it in early May! All of the pods germinated and it has been really simple to maintain. Looking forward to having fresh lettuce year round!

It is so easy to get started with the garden and easier to maintain.

Grew very fast and has given me loads of yummy, fresh herbs. I was surprised at the speed of growth. It's super easy to maintain and had alerts for everything you need to do, so no calendars or keeping notes. Great as a gift or for yourself. It takes up little room but has loads of room for plant life.

I love it! I had a way older version and this is much better! I only wish they gave instructions and guidance on how to move some plants into pots without killing them. I b haven't figured that part out yet. But I LOVE MY AEROGARDEN!

Great product!very easy to get great results! I love that it notifies you when to add plant food and when to add water.

Everything grew in just a couple of weeks. And continues to grow. We use something from the AeroGarden almost every day. Incredibly easy to use.

I bought this AeroGarden about a month ago and my plants are thriving! So fun to watch them grow and the maintanience was really easy. Only downside to this, expect occasional fruit flies.

I've had this less than a month and have had a total of six salads!!! The only thing is that I want to buy another one of the exact model, so I can put the two back to back to grow more, but you are out of stock -- EVERYWHERE is out of stock.....PLEASE WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET MORE IN? Look at how fast it grows -- the smaller picture was taken April 5 -- the second just five days later!!! I was unsure whether my husband would like it, but he is the one urging me to get another just like it.

Love this little garden. Easy to set up and fun to watch progress.

My AG was a Christmas gift & I do absolutely love it. Once the herbs grew in I really enjoyed them for several months. I encountered a couple issues with algae growing and infecting the entire basin, but after doing a thorough rinse and wiping everything including the seed pods with peroxide it subsided.TIP- KEEP the little paper circles covering the seeds until your plant is too big, then cut the circles in half and let them hug your plant stems over the holes to prevent more algae growth due to light reaching the seed pods. Use q-tips and peroxide to dab the top of the pods to prevent algae growth. At first the plants were hearty and the basil leaves were HUGE and aromatic! I had to trim them constantly to keep them from touching the light at the highest setting. I noticed over time the leaves started to get smaller and the leaves of my Genovese basil were starting to mutate and grow kind of gnarled. I had to refill water almost daily and the pump seemed to be making more noise than usual. After lifting the top I realized the roots from my 3 plants were completely entwined and had taken up the entire basin. They were growing into the pump and up through the spouts. I'm a gardening noob so I didn't even consider this as a possibility, and I hadn't seen anything about root trimming in the directions. I can't imagine what the roots would have looked like if I had all 6 plants growing like they do in the photos. I had tried potting my mint in soil without removing the plastic pod holder and now the leaves are dwarfed. For the basils and parsley I ended up doing a major root trim, used garden shears to cut out the entire plastic pod holders, and replanted my herbs into soil pots. I was worried they wouldn't survive but after a week they're starting to bounce back! So keep in mind, if you want to keep your plants in the Aerogarden long term, you need to trim the roots regularly, its best to trim no more than 20% of the plant at any given time. Otherwise, the Aerogarden is really great to use to start plants and then repot them before their roots get too tangled in each other or too hard to remove the plastic. Can't wait to get more started!

I love my AeroGarden! I have looked at them for awhile and finally broke down abought one and some accessories & seeds to go with it. Instantly the seeds are growing - I already have lettuce that looks healthier than any lettuce I've ever grown in my garden & tomato plants that are already 2 inches tall! I am seriously thinking of ordering another one! 5 Stars - customer service is spectacular - I can't say enough - I would HIGHLY recommend!

Great little grower. Easy to set up and use. Kids love it.

I did a lot of research about the AeroGarden before settling on the Harvest Elite. I truly felt it was a good fit for my family. While I'm already contemplating a second Harvest Elite for herbs, this purchase was a sure thing. It came quickly, expertly packaged and it literally took me 5 minutes to set up. I saw sprouts in just a few days and by day 10, the plant domes had to be removed due to robust growth. By day 20, today, it's salad time! I can't wait to enjoy more of this wonderful machine.

The thyme pod never sprouted and the leaves I am getting are tinged in brown

Fits great on my kitchen counter and looks great! Plus the top where the pods go is a lot easier to clean on this model. I like that the water cover is entirely removable as well.

My husband and I are avid gardeners. We grow all sorts of veggies and herbs in our garden. Plus dozens of houseplants. Wanted to try the AeroGarden to see how well it works. I am totally sold on this product. All the herbs took. Growing as expected. First week of January I started the system, the picture of the herbs are three weeks of growth. Can't say a bad thing, except for the LED lights which are quite bright. At night I surround the unit with cardboard boxes to dim the light a bit. Wish there was a way I could use the pods and plant my own seeds, to save money.

Item is BETTER than described! (P.S. I do not work for them) Had it one month. Put a strawberry crown in one hole and that thing in just a couple days produced 3 leaves! Had it a week and a half. Well designed for small plants, we're doing strawberries, cherry tomatoes and greens/herbs. Fun augmentation for what we do big time in our outside gardens and fields & raised beds. The instructions were well written, easy to follow. Far Exceeds my expectations. And Hey! I strongly recommend you buy this from Home Depot because they ship it in a sturdy shipping box and NOT just the package it came from the factory in. Other companies I could name just ship them without a package which likely causes the high damages you read about on their website. So go with Home Depot!

I bought this to replace an old Aero Garden. I’ve had great success for the most part when using my older unit, with the exception of a few pods not sprouting. I followed directions and was excited for my future new crops. I had a few that sprouted right away, but noticed one had mold on top of the surface of the soil. I replaced it right away with an extra pod. All of my pods sprouted and ALL with MOLD. it is affecting the taste of all the herbs I planted. I’m ready to call it quits. Not worth the hassle any longer.

My boyfriend bought me this for my birthday and I absolutely love it! Tonight we had our second salad even though I've been using the lettuce in sandwiches and stuff too. My basil is growing nicely in fact I'm hoping within another week or so I'll have enough for pesto it smells so good I can't wait! This AeroGarden is wonderful I planted in the past where I've had potting soil and miss and need the fun and this is so easy and clean! Plus it's fun! I cook a lot and my boyfriend so how much I loved the Harvest Elite that he bought me a bounty Elite which is on its way and I can't wait because they're I'm growing some taller stuff and tomatoes! Anyway I can't say good enough things about it I love my AeroGarden thank you AeroGarden for making gardening so effortless and enjoyable!

Attracted to AeroGarden Harvest Elite after receiving their catalog. Set it up a week ago and after four days, tomato seeds started to sprout which is shorter than what is labeled on seed pods. Device is attractive and fairly easy to set up. This model has automatic timer feature which works perfect and is definitely a plus. Overall, I am very satisfied. Can’t wait to see tomato plants grow up and produce cherry tomatoes!

It’s working. These edible flowers are sprouting and thriving. AeroGarden reshipped the one dud that didn’t sprout. What an inspiring company.

Works well. Everything grows fast and everything came up.

Amazing! Used my dill today and was amazing! 24 days and almost all my herbs are ready!

I’ve enjoyed supplementing our outdoor harvest with our indoor one! Can’t wait to see what we harvest in the fall! My tomatoes are just blooming now. Bought my mom one for mother’s day. She named her Black Seeded Simpson. She calls him Bart. Love the organic harvest !

This was a first time purchase of a do-it-yourself herb garden for my wife. After reading several reviews about the wifi version I chose to go with the 6 pod non-wifi. My wife had no problems setting this up and was excited about growing fresh herbs at home because they are so expensive in the grocery stores. The instructions were easy to follow and the controls are straightforward and easy to use. All 6 pods that came with this system grew, but at different start times and rates. You must have patience, be flexible (the stated times are averages, not hard and fast times), and you must ensure you keep the water filled (waiting on the unit to tell you is too late) and add the plant food as the system tells you. This will ensure that your herbs are growing at the optimal rate. The different growth rates wasn't a problem for us because it gave us an opportunity to harvest different herbs at different times instead of all at the same time. The picture of the herbs in the online product are almost exactly what we experienced. The dill and Genovese basil grow exceptionally fast, so if you like Mediterranean food then you will like growing these herbs. We've been growing the herbs for about 2 months now and so far we have experienced no issues with they system or the herbs. We've harvested the herbs multiple times and we expect to be harvesting longer than the stated period. Just be sure you are following the harvesting directions so you don't over-harvest and kill the growth. Overall, this system is exactly what my wife had envisioned and expected, and we are extremely happy with the results. If we weren't downsizing into a 1 bedroom apartment we would purchase another system to grow other herbs.

I bought this in fed with the idea of growing my tomatoes in... it works great for what I wanted I was shocked on how small it compared to my other one which I love that is in red. I kinda wish I would of spent the money and purchased another red one I already had compared to this copper one. But it does work for what I am using it for

cheap replacement- I used to have AeroGarden for late 6 years, it worked great, until it didn’t. I just got this new device, it’s way to bright, filters and pumps don’t really work- really disappointed ☹️ I am growing algae, instead of herbs

This was a Christmas present and I am enjoying it! Currently in day 27 of salad greens. Have made 6 salads so far with plenty of greens for tonight. They also tasty, although “softer” than grocery store purchased. So easy - the unit tells you to water, feed, programs the lights. Next will be herbs. I’ll probably have 2 or 3 of these before long...!

I bought this about two months ago. It has only been about 2 weeks since I started the seeds and my lettuce is growing like crazy! Shipping was also pretty rapid. The only downside is that the light is really bright, so you might want to put it somewhere like the basement, or cover it up a bit as I did.
