I own and love the Original AeroGarden. It's the coolest thing to be able to grow a ton of chili peppers, cherry tomatoes, salad greens, basil, herbs and more indoors without any soil and hardly any work at all. The only real problem with growing plants with aeroponic technology is that it works a bit too well at times and the plants would get taller than the adjustable grow light would allow. Well, there's a new AeroGarden now available that addresses these problems and more.
The cool new and improved AeroGarden Pro 200 ($199) not only adds stylish brushed stainless steel accents, it also has twice the lamp height of the original, grows produce in half the time of the original and features a redesigned, high-performance growth light. It's just as simple to use too. Simply, add water and the nutrient tablets, pop in the bio-grow pods and watch as the seeds germinate and grow in just a few short days. It's automatically programmed to adjust the lighting, water and nutrients and will alert you when you need to add water or another nutrient tablet. It's very cool.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don't have a green thumb or just want all-natural produce readily available in your kitchen, you'll love it. I think I want to get this one for my office, so I can snack on cherry tomatoes.

My problem is the unit is white and it has developed two brown burn marks on top of the hood. Directly above where the lights are situated beneath. I am hesitant to run the lights much longer for fear it may start a fire. It appears to me they may not have built the hood thick enough to withstand the heat? I have used the timer exactly as the directions indicate and no more.
I've written them today and we'll see what they say. I will be back to keep you posted.
