Great Idea, Cool Design, But Dies after 6-9 months
I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a device at this price point to be able to run for 2-5 years before breaking down. I purchased 3 Gardyns, and in the span of one year, have had to replace every single lid once, sometimes twice. Not one of them lasted more than 6-9 months before some sort of major breakdown. Either the pump stopped working, the electrical system shorted out, it would constantly lose connection with wifi, or the sphaghetti tubing inside the column cracked and leaked. Kudos to the Gardyn support team, as they shipped me 4 replacement lids at no cost over the last year. Unfortunately, all the plants died by the time each replacement lid showed up. In short, great idea, cool design, but doesn't last long before breaking down. Once your original 1 year warranty is up, you have to pay $190 a pop to replace the lids. I can't recommend these units unless you enjoy constantly replacing the lids.
