Tried Them All. These Are The Best.
I wanted to try fabric grow pots. I didn't want to spend any more money than I had to spend, but I wanted a bag that is durable and easy to move at the right price. I bought the Smart Pots. I bought the GroSun Pots. I pot these Vivosun Pots. These are not only the best value, but they are the best product.
The Smart Pots, which cost significantly more, have more flimsy handles that are a continuation of the same fabric of which the pot is made. The VivoSun handles are stitched and much more robust. The fabric on the VivoSun pots is also thicker. I've noticed that after moving the Smart Pots around a little bit, the fabric is stretching. So, the Vivosun Pots are significantly cheaper, more heavy-duty, and the handles feel significantly more durable. When I purchased these pots, I was looking for a review that compared them all, and I didn't find any complete review of the kind. Lastly, the GroSun pots are the cheapest...and they look and feel that way. Most significantly, the fabric is much thinner than both the GroSun and the Smart Pots. It is not worth the several dollars you save.
Note: the VivoSun pots are not true to size. The 3-Gallon, for example, is more like 2-2.5 gallons.
I definitely recommend getting bags with handles regardless of which brand you purchase if the pot is any larger than 3 gallons.
Absolutely buy these instead of the Smart Pots. Better product at a much better price, especially if you are considering the Smart Pots with handles (which cost even more).
