Hi,
Having has a Harvest model in the UK for a couple of months, I wanted a Bounty for the additional height to grow tomatoes. The UK Amazon site has really poor reviews of the Bounty though, talking about multiple false power failure reports, screens ‘flicking’, partly going out, and general unreliability.
AeroGarden, while not admitting there had been any QA issues, assured me that the Amazon UK stock was recently replaced with new, and that it was all fully and extensively tested, so I decided to go ahead and order a Bounty.
Within 4 hours of setting it up, I’d already had my first and so far only false power failure reported (with the garden shutdown as a result). Definitely a false alarm because no other devices plugged into the same plugbank had any issues.
Now after 4 days, the ‘water’ section of the screen keeps jumping to one side and back again. Going into settings and back to the home screen makes no difference. Tried uploading a short video but unfortunately the file size is too big no matter how I try to shrink it.
wondering if this is a healthy machine, or one I should be thinking about returning as faulty?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
