AeroGrow AeroGarden Pro 100 with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit
Good Morning America calls it, “One of the top new consumer products.” Grow full-size vegetables naturally on your kitchen counter 365 days a year. You don’t need a green thumb to grow your own food. The AeroGrow AeroGarden Pro 100 is a fully automated indoor smart garden with built-in grow lights that takes all guesswork out of growing plants. It uses NASA-tested aeroponic technology to grow plants in water, nutrients, and air. Aeroponics is a dirt-free growing method in which plant roots are suspended in air within a highly oxygenated growing chamber with 100% humidity. The roots are bathed in ideal levels of nutrients, oxygen, and water, allowing the plants to grow significantly faster, become healthier, and have a higher nutrient content that plants grown in soil. The Advanced Growing System with computerized Adaptive Growth Intelligence uses high-efficiency lighting and a quiet, low-maintenance chamber that provides more oxygen to the roots. All you have to do is add water, drop in the pre-seeded grow plugs, turn on the AeroGarden Pro 100, and watch the plants grow. The grow lights turn on and off automatically, and the computer reminds you via LCD display when to add water and nutrients. A Gourmet Herb Seed Kit, grow bulbs, the Super Grow 24-hour light cycle, and a replacement reminder system are included. The Pro 100 measures 15.5 x 18 x 10.5 inches and is covered by a 1-year limited warranty.
User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Noisy
I wish I had known when I dished out well over $100 that the pump was so noisy I need earplugs to concentrate if I’m in the same room with my new AeroGarden Pro 100. I’ll try moving it to the garage.
5 Stars A Truly Neat Botanical Adventure!
I bought this as a present for my wife. She’s a really green thumb anyway, but in the winter, it’s hard to get things growing too well.
So, after the first four weeks, it’s been a smash hit with her!
It really does work, light goes off and on, add the water and tablets on occasion and the herbs grow lusciously like a beanstalk!
We both are really enjoying it. Recommend, it’s fun!
5 Stars Just Wonderful!
I own three AeroGardens which include the classic black 7-pod, the Pro 100 and the Elite 6. Of the three, the classic and the Pro are the better models in my opinion. The classic 7-pod is whisper quiet. I planted the salad chef greens which included romaine, mesclun, baby greens, arugula and salad greens. All sprouted, but the arugula and baby greens did not do well at all. It might be that I was using regular tap water; however, the rest of the greens are growing very well. The leaves are HUGE.
For the Pro 100 I planted the cascading petunias. Of all three gardens, these took the longest to sprout, but now they are going like gangbusters! The Pro 100 is just like the classic black model except it has stainless steel accents. It is also very quiet except for the sound of trickling water occasionally. This sound will only occur when the water gets low in the bowl. Once you refill to the fill line, the noise dissipates.
If you are in the market for an AeroGarden, I would recommend either the classic or the Pro 100. Both have 7 pods for planting.
3 Stars Easy setup, but wrong mix of herbs
From box to complete setup was a breeze. Instructions were easy to follow - the most complex part was setting the light timer.
I don’t like the mix of herbs that came with the Garden. I wish I could have selected my own preferences. It makes the initial cost go up if you intend to change to new plants.
2 Stars AeroGrow has Horrible Customer Service
I asked for and received the pro 100 and south of the border seed kit for Christmas. The pro 100 was easy to put together and I quickly got to starting my herbs. Long story short the epazote and one of the cilantro pods never sprouted. After 3 weeks of wating to see if something would happen I called AeroGrow.
I was greeted with a recording that said the wait time on Mondays and Tuesday was the busiest and then I was given an estimated wait time of 2 hours!!!! WHAT? 2 hours? Obviously I hung up. I have nothing better to do than stay on hold for 2 hours??
I took pictures of the plants that grew and the ones that didn’t and sent an email off to AeroGrow customer service. I got an auto reply that said they would respond within 2 weeks. That was over 3 weeks ago and I haven’t heard back from them.
I am disgusted with the lack of customer service and will be selling my Aerogrow at a yard sale in the spring. I refuse to purchase another seed kit or anything else from this company.
I am wondering just how many complaints/issues they must have that it would take them 2 hours to get in touch with by phone and almost a month with no email reply??
