AeroGarden Harvest 2.0, Indoor Garden Hydroponic System with LED Grow Light, Holds up to 6 Pods, Cream

Love the product, the only thing was that when I received the item it was fitted with an American plug as they know it was being delivered to UK, but happy with the product.

Got my first one as a gift, then purchased two more. I did have trouble with one being defective but I want to say I had a wonderful experience with Aerogarden replacing the unit. I've noticed that most of the negative comments are coming from people who have had an earlier iteration of the aerogarden. This was my first and I really like it. It's super easy to put together and use. The light and timer are activated by the censor on top the hood, no buttons. Also, it has a safety mechanism, if the water runs low it will shut off the lights and pump. SO, when you are setting up, fill it with water before assuming it doesn't work because the lights and pump aren't coming on. The directions need to be a little better even with it being simple. They drop off after explaining how to connect the power and pieces together. They should take you through the entire set up before going off on different topics.

I've been using this AeroGarden for about 3 months now, and I have to say, it's extremely easy to use. The unit is pretty solid, doesn't leak at all and even looks good. The adjustable light moves up and down easily so when the plants start growing, it's effortless to move the light higher. Because of the material used in construction, there doesn't appear to be any issues with the possibility of rust so I expect this to last a long time. Keep in mind, this unit does not come with the seeds or seed pods but it's easy enought to order those seperately like I did. I also recommend adding the specific fertilizer to add to the water becuase it's seems to help the plants get started.

After only a few months of use, the automatic on/off function stopped working, so I now have to turn it on manually every morning. This makes it stressful whenever I travel or leave the house. Also, the seed pods that came with the unit didn’t germinate at all except for the parsley, so I had to purchase a new seed kit. I spent almost a month trying to figure out if I was doing something wrong because nothing was sprouting. On top of that, the instructions are very difficult to find for this specific model. Most of the guides are for more expensive models, which made it frustrating to set up and troubleshoot. Since the automatic on/off feature is not working, I’ll just harvest what I currently have and then switch to a different brand. Overall, this felt like a complete waste of money.

We are a household of tomato lovers. After taste testing several varieties last year, this year we’ve narrowed down to the True Black Brandywine beefsteak type, and a British cherry tomato favorite, Black Opal. I use the Aerogarden to give us a jump on the season every year. I’ve owned several types of Aerogardens over the past decade. Even though some had advanced Bluetooth features there was an element of hassle to each one. I already appreciate this one. From the time you plug it in this Aerogarden keeps the grow light on for 15 hours each day. I plugged mine in at 6 AM, so the light should remain on from 6 AM to 9 PM daily. Although the light is scheduled, I still have control. Briefly placing my finger on the light switch concealed between the leaf emblem and the “add plant food” reminder light on top of the grow light allows me to turn the light off and on manually. The tub is small and dishwasher safe on the top rack when it’s dissembled (see instruction manual for more). My other models didn’t have this feature. And what a feature it is! With other models I had to circulate a special cleaner in a full tank of water for 24 hrs to get rid of algae before replanting. With this one I just pop the tank in the dishwasher and this Aerogarden is ready for replanting as soon as the cycle is finished! It is sturdy, and, based on past experience with other models, I expect it to be reliable. Now for the downside: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand the Aerogarden division of Scott’s Miracle Grow is shutting down. Blurbs I’ve read say they will continue to support existing products, but for how long I can’t predict. You might want to buy extra supplies as a hedge against future shortages. This notwithstanding, all I can say is, for the price, this is a great little unit! Highly recommended.

I always have two of these going on a little table in my kitchen. Cycle through growing herbs, lettuce, and the Tiny Tim tomatoes. Most of my seeds were ordered separately, but the Black Seeded Simpson lettuce that came in a packet with each machine does pretty well too. I ordered an extra jug of the Aerogarden fertilizer and that seems to be going all right so far. I root cuttings (basil mostly) in jars next to them, where they can get the overflow light. Also do jars of sprouts sometimes. The mental health benefits of watching tiny green sprouts coming up any time of the year is immense. To be fair, I did get mine a couple years ago, $45 each, on sale when Aerogarden was maybe going out of business. I might feel less enthusiastic about them if I had paid more. Attached are some picture from a month or so ago (late winter 2026) when I was growing dill (that's a partial toilet paper tube around the base of the plant; keeps it from falling over), fenugreek, watercress, and two different kinds of basil.
