Baskets supplied are too short only long sponges available which don’t fit.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 March 2022

When coming to replace the sponges the only ones available are long ones and tge baskets it came with are too short. I didn’t find this out until after the Amazon return period expired otherwise I would have returned it.

5* für dieses Gewächshaus

Reviewed in Germany on 23 February 2021

Verified Purchase

Dieses kleine Gewächshaus habe ich meiner Frau zu Weinachten geschenkt.
Ich war anfangs skeptisch ob es wirklich das hält was es verspricht.

Beim auspacken war alles ziemlich einfach zum zusammen bauen und einrichten.

Samen aus der letzten Saison waren noch reichlich vorhanden und konnten somit verwendet werden.

Die Keimlinge kamen schon nach 3 Tagen und man konnte schon fast dabei zuschauen wie alles wächst und gedeiht.

Nun ca. 7 Wochen später wurde schon einiges geerntet und es wächst und wächst!

Die Reinigung alle 14 Tage ist mit der großen Menge an Kräutern und Pflanzen ist alleine ein bisschen schwierig. Hier müssen 4 Hände ran um die Platte vom Wassertank zu trennen.
Aber alles halb so wild!

Ich gebe 5*, es ist jeden Cent wert.

Durchdachtes hydroponisches Anzuchtsystem

Reviewed in Germany on 13 January 2022

Verified Purchase

Ich habe das IDOO 4L Anzuchtsystem jetzt seit 4 Wochen und bin völlig zufrieden. Ich ziehe Basilikum (mittlere Reihe) und Bonsai-Tomaten (vordere Reihe) hoch. Beides wurde aus Samen herangezogen (die Bilder zeigen den Wachstumsstand nach 3 Wochen). Für meine Chilli (letzte Reihe) ist es leider noch etwas zu kalt zum keimen.
Wie man auch sehen kann, habe ich die kleinen Löcher um Rankhilfen reinzustecken mit schwarzer Folie, bzw kleinen Schrauben abgedeckt, damit kein Licht in die Nährlösung fällt und ich habe bisher auch keinerlei Probleme mit Algen. Auch habe ich die angegebene Menge an Dünger am Anfang auf 50% reduziert, da ich meine Pflanzen ja aus Samen hochgezogen habe und bis die auskeimen nicht viele Nährstoffe benötigen. Ebenso habe ich die Wassermenge auf 3,5 Liter reduziert (gerade so, dass die Schwämmchen sich vollsaugen können) und am Anfang nicht zu nass sind. Bisher habe ich auch keine Probleme mit Schimmelbildung (Raumtemperatur 21-22°C)
Das Lichtpanel lässt sich gut in der Höhe verstellen und arretieren. Die Wasserpumpe ist sehr leise und kann zum Reinigen abgeschraubt werden. Der Lüfter ist auch leise genug, sodass man ihn kaum wahrnimmt, aber bisher habe ich ihn auch noch aus. Der Timer arbeitet bis auf 1-2 Minuten genau.
Vor dem ersten Benutzen habe ich die Wanne gründlich gereinigt und mit Glasrein ausgewischt um möglichen Schmutz durch den Herstellungsprozess zu beseitigen. Dennoch war nach 14 Tagen ein beiger Biofilm in der Wanne zu erkennen und in der Wasserpumpe einige Bakterienklumpen (aber logisch dass sich Bakterien vermehren wenn man eine Nährlösung in unsteriler Umgebung hat). Um die Wasserpumpe vor Verunreinigungen besser zu schützen habe ich einfach ein flaches Stückchen Küchenschwamm zurechtgeschnitten und unter die Pumpe geklemmt (so als Vorfilter). Dennoch denke ich, wird man das System mindestens einmal im Monat reinigen müssen.
Der Stromverbrauch liegt bei 23,8 Watt, wobei die LEDs mit 22,6 Watt den Großteil verbrauchen. Der Verbrauch durch die Pumpe und den Lüfter ist mit 1,2 Watt vernachlässigbar. Die Jahreskosten für Strom (33ct/kWh) und Dünger sind ca. 50-55€

Hopeless Consumer

Almost impossible to get replacement pods.

Reviewed in Canada on 1 February 2022

Verified Purchase

The replacement pods come packaged in ziploc bags, with no branding. They are way too long for the Idoo and have to be trimmed to size and even then they are obviously thicker and bulge out.
If they are genuine Idoo pods, then Idoo has a quality control proxlem. For a long time, it was almost impossible to find replacements and now they are available they don't fit. On top of that, the ones I bought through Prime were about $30 and it seems they sold out in no time, because now they cost $60 from a 3rd party.
I have decided to keep these for now and see how they work, because there are no viable alternatives. I will update this review depending on how they perform. In the meantime, if Idoo wants to keep selling its products, I suggest they get on top of their aftermarket peripherals. If people can't get replacement grow pods easily, what is the point of owning one? This is how a company loses reputation and business.
The machine itself works well, but if there are no pods for it then it's not worth your money.

It actually works!

I got this 5 days ago and planted the same day. After 5 days I already have some sprouting. I am pleasantly surprised and I look forward to see how it continues to grow. Very easy to set up and plant. I found it easy following the instructions. Just make sure the water tank is full to the 4L mark. Otherwise the pods won’t get saturated with water and plant food. I love the automatic timer and it is pretty quiet.

Did not work for me

Reviewed in Canada on 8 June 2021

Verified Purchase

I planted a bunch of vegetables. after three weeks, what I got is what you see in the picture: no significant growth, and worse is that the corks developed visible mold while the unit was in a very clean area in my sitting room! The unit seems not to deliver what it promises. I do NOT recommend it. I did not return it because my spouse had already thrown the box out, and I was not able to box and return it. I will try to plant once more. If not successful, I will through it in the garbage.

Decent size, good value, but not the most feature rich

Reviewed in the United States on 11 November 2020

I have a Aero Garden 360 and will be comparing this mostly to that. Initial thought when unboxing was that it was packaged really neatly, and unboxing was a breeze. IDOO also sends everything you need to get you started except for any seeds. The housing is of plastic but it feels high quality. The fan on top of the lights seems like a nice addition, something not offered with the Aero Garden. It has two modes and the lighting changes based off what mode you pick. The aero garden has a built in timer and clock that tells you when it’s time to feed your plants, but this does not l, so you will need to track that manually. Otherwise the quality feels good and it has a decent size to it. I often found myself not able to grow much is the aero garden 360 due to its small size, so this should fare better in how much I can grow. The wires also run outside of the arm unlike the aero garden which may make it easier to mod the lights if you want to make them go higher.
