5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, June 20, 2005

If you've read any books on sprouting than you know that even newer traditional methods like bamboo baskets and mini-green houses that, while worth it, can be a little involved and requiring various little items to get you going. Spout bags are nice but only good for certain sprouts. This sprounter cuts out a ton of work and detail and allows you to sprout any sprout with one method. With this sprouter, adding some Grapefruit Seed Extract (Anti-Mold) and Liquid Kelp (Nutrition) to the water each day grows some of the most organic, fresh, and nutrition rich foods on planet for pennies in a few days, anywhere! Truly something that can change ones life for the better. I also recommend the Vita-Lite grow lights if you live in a dark area and all the Books by Sproutman. Happy Sprouting!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very expensive and unreliable, December 27, 2006
This is a very expensive item for what it is - a pump and a bucket! It also has a few serious disadvantages:

1) It circulates dirty water over the sprouts - not a good idea.

2) It is flimsy and unreliable. The pump on my unit gave out.

3) The spray spins around very unreliably - it's virtually impossible to adjust so that it spins consistently. Either it doesn't spin at all or it almost blows the spray attachment off the top.

4) The pump gets clogged up with gunge. And yes - I followed all instructions very carefully, changed the water frequently and washed out the device.

5) The sprouts are hard to harvest as their leaves and roots get stuck in the trays.

Definitely get into sprouting - it's great! But this is not the device to do it with!

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of plastic: AVOID, June 12, 2011

This review is from: FreshLife Automatic Sprouter (FL-2000) (Kitchen)
There are several things that I found annoying about this contraption. I'm cleaning house today and making closet space but I swore that I'd take time to alert interested folks about this silly device which I used faithlfully for about six months before I just put it away in disgust. I suggest that you read my summary just below and the "bottom line" at the end if you're in a hurry and just want the big pic in a hurry.

The summary goes like this: 1. Customer service is non-existent. 2. After a while, the tubes and water pump and other parts in the unit get gunked up with a nasty growth. 3. The unit takes longer to grow sprouts than the old fashioned way. 4. The unit begins to squeak and howl after a few months of use. 5. You have to carefully wash the unit each day (at least one time but preferably two times) in order to keep the slime and growth under control. 6. It takes up a lot of space.

Here's the long story:

First, it cycles on and off... Read more
