Worked decent, until it didn't.
After about a 6 months something went awry with controller, takes several power cycles to get the lights to work and have the system not beep, and even then the light randomly turns on and off instead of the scheduled cycle, and the power & schedule buttons no longer work.
I have on my todo list to disassemble and direct wire lights and pump to put on external timer if I can figure out how to bypass the right circuitry.

Update: on learning about the somewhat unexpected 1year warranty I contacted idoo and they sent a replacement light unit which corrected the problem.

I bought this last time. The build quality is terrible. Get an aerogarden.

Pretty good reviews. Looks like an exact AeroGarden knock off.

I have the AeroGarden and I love it for herbs. Might pick this up for lettuce or tomatoes.

Where does it say no seeds? I can't find where it says it does or doesn't come with seeds. That said, this does have a water pump which is missing from a lot of knock offs. If it comes with seeds, it would be a great price. I paid $50 for a 6 pod Aerogarden WITH seeds on a recent deal so this really needs the seeds in order to beat that.

Q&A and reviews say no seeds included.

Would this be good to grow cilantro or peppers?

Comes with a 1 year warranty. You can try to contact them, if you have not already contacted them. Hope this helps.

Just checked, the one made by MUFGA has no warranty info i.e. only get a 30 day warranty from Amazon...will definitely pass on that as well as this one (thinking of spending some more to get aerogarden or something else)

I've been using Idoo for more than 2 years now and they've been working very well for me.
Aerogarden were just too expensive to get into this hobby.
Only note, i would recommend their Wifi models since the non-wifi ones keep de-syncing.
I have 3 in my house, one 7 pod non-wifi, one 12pod wifi, one 8 pod wifi (new model).
