Needs to be re evaluated on features built better
I like this but it has some issues in the design.
1) the power cord should not be plugged in underneath unit
2) needs to have to water pumps only supplies water to one side of the pods pretty heavy, nothing to other side. The pods that are getting the most water are flooded. When adding water again I can see the water hitting the pods only by the water pump, the water showing around edges of the pods.
3) the control on top of light is in back not front of unit
4) the refill plug is also in back of unit not the front.
5) using arrows to put together sorta works but trying to find to plug light in was hard to find.
6) the top of the small water pump will not lock down on the one side all the way, nothing broken. Just not fitting correctly
The height of light seems to be pretty good considering higher than most. I just planted my seeds in the pods and had to move them around times due to water flow. Guess this is all I can say right now. Will be updating as I go along. But most definitely needs to be redesigned with the features correctly positioned.
**A little over month later now. I have tried to grow cherry tomatoes, I ended up with nothing but green/white mold on top of the grow sponges and the water is NOT evenly watering all the pods at all.
This NEEDS A TOTAL MAKE OVER. For this size to ensure all pods get equal amount of water need 2 small pumps not just the one or design that all pods are getting water thru the underside of the water cover. The float to let you know when it needs water NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. Half of the pods was wet over on the lid and other half was to dry. Extremely disappointed now. Past return window, takes more than 30 days if you want to really know if it will grow anything.
