I like to start off all my plants in these without doing any maintenance on them. When they are too big I move them to small plastic containers so I can acclimate them outside for a few hours per day, and then plant them outside if the weather is warm enough.
If I start around December I keep them inside under a cheap grow light until ready to acclimate.
I do this because the plants get huge quick with these things.
I have 20 - 30 plants ready to plant at the end of Winter that are 8 - 18 inches tall.

This thing easily paid itself off the first year I had it because I have not needed to buy one plant for my garden.
If you grow herbs and lettuce you might recuperate your principle in 10 years
CABIN20 will take $20 off when purchased through Aerogarden ($20 off $100) so $139.95

Gonna throw my 2 cents in here. I have an 'off-brand' 12 pod hydroponic setup that worked well enough but was quite a bit of maintenance for my purposes. I also purchased the AeroGraden Harvest 360 deal from Sam's Club about a week ago that has the 6 pods setup and am already having sprouts of dill and basil coming up.

My recommendation is that if you're not looking to grow small tomatoes or peppers indoors then likely this would be over-kill for most purposes. If you want to just grow herbs that Harvest series would be fine. The Harvest will be far more compact and take up quite a bit less kitchen space.. The harvest is also SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper.

The Aerogarden by comparison to the off-brand is virtually silent. I actually really like the way they've setup the watering system. While my off-brand uses a generic pump to circulate water the Aerogarden directs the pump water to the pods themselves which I think is fantastic. The Aerogarden also informs you when to add nutrients and water while my off-brand does not.

One thing to be mindful of is that there are many secondary pods you can buy if you'd like, whereas the 'off-brand' setups are almost always going to have fewer options and you'll likely need to buy directly from the manufacturer. One of the beauties of owning the name brand is all the knockoff options for refills. There are also a seed starting trays that can be used to start 31+ plants for transporting outdoors. I haven't used mine yet but will soon, I'm sure.

If you're wanting to grow tomatoes indoors, I'd say you could probably build a custom setup for far cheaper (or just buy a nice LED lighting system and grow in cloth bags indoors. Works great). But if you want something that's simple and elegant then the AeroGarden brand is an excellent choice.

I have 3 aerogardens, a bounty, a bounty harvest, and 1 of the medium sized ones. I bought them all used inexpensively, like $50 for the bounty harvest with accessories. The only failure has been a pump, which is a easy fix and less than $10 or $15 and I think may have been my fault. They all work fine.

Pros: attractive presentable countertop garden, good lights for size/price with pleasing visible spectrum, quiet when pumps working. People ooh and ahh at your plants. The tiny net cups fit perfectly into a milk-jug's opening.

Cons: woefully overpriced accessories: sponges, grow baskets, seeds from them, all are highway robbery. The baskets themselves are small and become aggravating to work with when your plant is of any real size or especially when you want to move it to a different garden or to soil. Makes transplanting/moving plants infuriating at times, honestly. Limited max elevation of light on all models becomes an issue often. I have read lots of people complain about light failures on aerogardens, knock on wood I am lucky so far.

Conclusion for a cheapskate: if you don't need it to look pretty and you aren't showing it off in your kitchen or living space, you would be much better served constructing a very basic home hydroponics system using full-size netcups (2 or 3 inches) and your own growing medium. This could just be a black tupperware container with some holes in the lid for the netcups/plants and for the airstone to come in. Aerogardens are often regifted or sold because people get tired of it or don't even want to try it or just want it gone because it takes up counterspace, so you can get them cheap on craigslist or FB marketplace. Or a homemade system has many advantages and won't take much time at all to produce (tupperware/vessel + aquarium tubing + airstone + airpump ($10) + netcups + something to make a hole in tupperware). With the money you saved you can buy a mother of a LED light and a timer.

What people don't talk about when they consider the $$$ of indoor food cultivation is how you generally grow completely without pesticides and your lettuce isn't covered in bug S***.

I wish the generic indoor countertop gardens would ditch the tiny netcups of the aerogarden line, a huge weakness which they all copy.

Thanks, OP! I got the cool gray even though it was $20 more but using the $20 off helped me get the color I wanted. Super excited to try growing peppers.

Fyi gray is also on sale now for the same price ($139.95). I'm not sure if you can cancel the order or also if the coupon is once per account though

Any good led light and timer recommendations?
