Chef'n 102-742-390 Countertop Sprouter Growing Kit, One Size, Backing White/Wasabi/Glass

A great looking thing but a real faff. The parts, although sturdy, don't fit snuggly. Tiny seeds, such as broccoli or mustard, get everywhere. I'll use it for larger seeds and beans but wouldn't buy another one. Jars are much better and sit on a slant, which you can't do with this item.

I've had this over a year, and found it works quite well.But, the parts don't fit perfectly, and that can cause problems. After a couple of disasters, and a sink full of chickpeas/sprouts/sprouting peas, I now hold the lid very firmly when turning over.Also. the sprouts sometimes grow through or between parts of the kit.Most irritating... I haven't found a good way to clean all the parts.

Does a very good job of sprouting seeds, even on first attempt. Most seeds germinate, and I find a greater quantity if you swirl the seeds upon filling the jar with water. Intelligent and intuitive design well planned for its job, and made with good precision.My only complaint is that with the alfalfa seeds I used, the draining grills were slightly too large and so trapped some of the seeds. A few of the seeds would fall out of the jar each time you drain it, which is no big issue. But cleaning out the jar after emptying can be a bit tedious trying to pick out small seeds that grow through the holes. Minor flaw. And can be solved by using larger sprouting seeds.

Looks good but quite small. Doesn’t work well , soaked seeds fall out when rinsing, seeds and roots get stuck in the gaps and the rubber seal. Even though rinsed well twice a day and drained , seeds seemed very wet and started to smell . Sent back and bought the Kenley set . Much better, no problems !

Bought this as a gift for a friend plus a bag of seeds.It looks lovely and I think will work well - will report back on success of friend's sprouting attempts .Not too big so ideal for use in the kitchen (or where ever!!)Nice design - contemporary style.I think I will get one for myself in fact - much neater than those stacking tray units the I have had in the past.Sprouted seeds v. good for you no? and as my diet severely lacking in fresh greens seems like the right thing to do.Will update this review as time goes on.
