That said, this sucker is listed at a retail of $108.99 when it doesn't even circulate the water which is absolutely insane. It's "retail' is even $9 more than the price of the 3 pod Aerogaden which does do that and also doesn't look like a countertop science experiment.
Obviously, this is never going to be at the "full" price on Amazon but I'd say for a no-name, it's not even that good of a deal at the current price as a search for "hydroponic" on Amazon will yield better larger units that come with pumps and better pack-ins at prices with coupons that are always there, bringing them pretty close to this "sale" price.

Aerogarden also tells you the wattage output of the lights. Most of the generics, like this one don't seem to list that.
Even the cheapest models of the Aerogardens circulate the water and will prompt you to add the nutrients and the higher end ones offer more customized grow options for different plants to get better yields.
The Aerogardens also ship with pre-seeded pods that are guaranteed to germinate.*
I don't really think all of that is worth the crazy retail prices for Aerogardens but it might be worth waiting for a sale on one, especially if you have a history of killing plants due to neglect. I picked up two sprouts not that long ago in a sale where they were $25, too. Those were nice and giftable. This one I'd never buy for anyone.
*the guarantee is that they'll replace the pods free of charge if they don't germinate. I've had to take them up on that. You don't necessarily need to keep buying their pods but for just starting out, that's a nice assurance.

or perhaps PLA which is non toxic and commonly used in medical implants?
Or, were you fear mongering over something besides the two most common materials for printer filament?
Some plants do well and some are terrible for hydroponics. You just gotta read about it like you would for choosing plants for your outdoor growing region.
