I absolutely love my Gardyn. I am really getting the hang of propagating timing so I always have lettuce and other things I like to eat. I grew swiss chard that I'm not that fond of eating but is so stunningly beautiful, I'm keeping it to replant as a house plant. :-)

My wife and I tried something less sophisticated years ago. It was not a success. By contrast she setup the gardyn and it is amazing. We have changed the water or topped it off several times now and we love checking on our hungry little plants. Think little tender leaves. We visit and munch on the tastiest plants we have ever had, or we have already made salads for the four of us! A little balsamic and wow, it is good!

I took a few weeks to decide if I wanted to get a Gardyn but I'm so glad I did. It grows way more than I was expecting and has essentially replaced my bill for herbs and all types of lettuce. I had a few challenges getting a few of the plants to initially germinate but I ended up getting a heat map and since have no issue and Gardyn refunded all the plants that didn't grow. Great company and device. I'm looking forward to trying lots of plants I haven't even heard of that customers seem to rave about on the Facebook group.

So been 3 weeks , it didn't on day one. Couldn't get it connected. Got message has to be your wi-fi. I understand how to connect 2.4. And spent hours and hours on troubleshooting, after they said , not connecting was on their end , new gardyns Couldn't connect.. but they fixed , no reason can't connect, more troubleshooting. Nothing. I told them it's the motherboard, more troubleshooting, finally new motherboard, easy to connect.. mind you to replace lid , had to deassemble entire gardyn then put back together and hire a handyman to help because I can't do by myself. Then the cameras don't work... troubleshooting again and again over and over. Finally they will ship new lights , they said never had a problem cameras have always worked. Not true if you read reviews. I had 11 not sprout. They tell me me temp should be 70 degrees in house. I live in FL... 70 we would freeze and I would have 1,000 electric bill or more we keep at 76 and my bill is 300. Then my humidity in my house 55% is to low, I should get a humidifier and humidity should be 65% - 75%. Well that makes absolutely no sense. Humidifier lowers humidity but they said increase it... which make our home non liveable. Yes I paid a year in advance for membership which now thinking why? Then I noticed white mold on most pods, was told I should put a fan by the garden and order some solution to spray on wool which cost 40$ it's costing a fortune in addition to 1300$. No lights as of yet. Will try. But I dont want to risk not being able to return. They don't offer additional return time , although website says 90 days. I wanna love it. I do. But geez

Over priced since many of the features it touts don't work. The live cam is a joke, the time-lapse (entire reason I chose this over another more affordable brand) NEVER worked. They make you pay for a monthly subscription for nothing it's a cool concept but I'd go with any of the other more affordable brands anytime.

Very bad. Have tried for weeks to get help. Have even scheduled a tech support call. Gardyn did not call, there is no phone number for support. Simply a bot that sends in a loop. Big disappointment. Sending it back.

The Gardyn support team quickly resolved my issue. I was informed throughout. Very pleased. Thank you.

I was very excited when we first received our tower. It's beautiful and was not difficult to set up. And the first week was exciting as we watched a few of the pods begin to sprout. However, we are on day 25 and we have many pods not yet germinated and several have the very small starts looking like they will die. They've barely grown since they initially sprouted. I've also had the unit go off-line several times and was not aware of it. It's not a quick fix and obvious fix to get it back on-line. I've also had a challenging job in finding all the information I need in one location. I have to go through customer service via email to get info and that info eventually gets lost in the threads. I'm concerned that I am running out of time to determine if this will actually work as described before the trial period runs out and I have to go through the trouble of returning it. I will send an updated review in the following week or two. Update 10/06/25 I still have the tower 3 years later. It hasn't been ideal bit I must say that Gardyn has sent replacement parts, etc. in a true attempt to help things work and that has been very much appreciated.
