I love being able to take things out of my Aerogardens and put them in the vases. I keep my herbs that way sometimes when I want to re-plant the Aerogardens before I'm totally done with the herbs that are in them. I haven't used the basket, but it's nice. It's a pretty neat concept overall and a purchase I'm not sorry I made.

As for the Aerogarden, as another reviewer said, sure you can build your own system for less money. But it won't be as compact, attractive, or easy. I have four Aerogardens (3 different models,) and have purchased one as a gift - and have never had any trouble with any of them. Their customer service can be hard to reach online, but if you call the number they will handle anything like a quickly burned out bulb very quickly. Nothing about these systems is "cheap." My oldest one is going on two years old and still works like a champ.

I do recommend shopping for sales on them though. If you pay full price, you paid too much. ;)

For [...], you got 3 cheap vase, a cheap basket, 3 starter pots (some flower seed packaged with grow medium and nutrient tablets), a hydroponic "machine" and and a made-in-china-burn-out-within-a-week "grow" bulb. To be honest, I knew the vases and basket is not going to be any good, but the light bulb burnt out in a week? That simply not acceptable.
