"Positioned as alternatives to the long-beloved OG Aerogarden tabletop hydroponic systems, LetPot's countertop gardens (which are popular enough to have their own subreddit) allow you to grow any seeds you'd like-no proprietary pods needed-using inexpensive baskets and sponges that are ubiquitous on Amazon and run about 20 cents each. (LetPot's sets come with enough baskets and sponges to get you started, but no seeds.) I regularly recommend LetPot's version as the best budget option for anyone looking to get into hydroponic gardening."
"The LetPot app is kind of funky, but it's not needed once you've set the timer for the 24-watt LED lamp, which both raises and lowers and flips up for easy harvesting access. A pop-up gauge tells you at a glance what level the water is, the pump runs every 30 minutes on its own, and instructions on when and how to add nutrients are right on the bottle (two bottles with dehydrated nutrients are included)."
LetPot, established in Hong Kong in 2007 and expanded into the US in 2019, produces countertop hydroponic gardens that use nonproprietary baskets and sponges. The 12-pod LPH-SE Senior grows organic baby chard usable for frequent harvests. Kits include baskets, sponges, a 24-watt adjustable LED lamp, a pump that cycles every 30 minutes, and two dehydrated nutrient bottles; seeds are not included. A pop-up gauge indicates water level. The app is functional but unnecessary for basic operation. LetPot units are less expensive than some Aerogarden models while delivering comparable growth results, making them a solid budget option.
