EVERCOO Hydroponics Growing System

I got my device from Amazon. Here are my observations so far.

It is slightly smaller than the Aerogarden Harvest 360: just a bit smaller in diameter and about and inch shorter, although it says it holds 3 liters of water. The light post comes up from the center and the LEDs are directly over the four planting pod spaces; there are no LEDs between the pod spaces, so that may inhibit growth as plants get bigger. It has three light modes for 12/14/16 hours per day of light. In the different modes, the lights change. In the 14-hour mode you get white, red, and blue lights. In the other two modes it is only white and blue. I am not sure about the purpose of that. You can adjust the light to 13" above the planting deck.


Aerogarden pods fit easily. The pods that come with the unit are a bit shorter and have a squarish shape.

On the planting surface, there are small holes on each side of each of the 4 pods. Since I want to avoid light in the watery chamber (to prevent algae) I covered the holes. I raided my button box and found some small buttons with metal loops for shanks and those fit nicely as hole covers.


This unit has room for 4 plants, as opposed to Aerogarden's 6. For me, this is not a problem. The Aerogarden spacing is so close that it is hard to manage lots of kinds of plants if you utilize each possible slot. I think this unit might be good for lettuces, to give pretty easy access to each plant for harvesting. When I measure the distance from the edge of one pod to the next, it is about 1 7/8" on this unit, as opposed to about 1 1/8" on the Aerogarden.


The marking for how far to fill the unit is not visible when you are filling the unit, so it could be easy to beginners to put in too much water.


The instruction booklet says they have a warranty and that you can contact them for support, but neither the booklet nor the packaging has any contact information for the company.

For now, I have a few tomato seedlings getting started in this unit. It seems fine for that purpose and should be fine for other purposes tucked between my Bounty units to get a wider pool of light for plants that are bigger than the bright spot right over the planting pod.

Very in-depth review, thank you! Looking forward to seeing how the plants do and how the machine holds up over time
