Two months have passed by and I’m still waiting for my oven. When asked customer services, the answer I got was that there’s a problem with the warehouse and they no longer have the oven I bought (black edition roccbox). After that, they told me I could either pick the grey or olive one which I responded that at this point I didn’t really care what color I get, all I want is the oven. Thinking this would fix the issue, I got another email saying that they will send me the olive oven as soon as they get stock. So how long do I have to wait until I get what I paid for?? This is ridiculous…

If you want a product that will last for years to come, Pergolux skydance model is that way to go. The screens are easy to open and close and keeps the rain out and furniture dry. Their customer service was very responsive throughout the process!

The system requires wifi or it doesn't generate electricity. Our unit has spotty wifi due to interference and disconnects frequently

Some pretext: I own 3 tier Rise Garden and 1 Rise Roma. I have owned them for 3 weeks now. I have also been an owner of a Gardyn 4.0 system for 2 months now. Actual Review: I was really impressed with the bang for the buck Rise Gardens provided. The product is high quality. My wife and I have built a few DIY projects through the years and considered making our own cabinet hydroponic system. Well I don't think it was going to end up being any cheaper and definitely was going to be a ton more effort. Below I will point out what impressed me about Rise. I will compare to Gardyn since that's what I have and they are in the same price range(base rise for gardyn3-4.0). That will give you a good idea of what you get for the money: 1. Rise comes with a nurseryfor each level you order!(gardyn asks for $80 for 1). The rise nursery is super low quality plastic but realistically that's all one needs. 2. Rise comes with covers for the empty spots where one does not plant anything. Gardyn charges $4 per cap(they have 30 spots on the system so a $120). 3. Rise uses the following materials in their system - metal, wood and plastic. Gardyn only uses plastic and wood. As such Rise feels higher quality and looks nicer. 4. Rise has engineered their product better. The company has hidden their computer inside a cabinet, away from water. Gardyn's computer is on the bottom of the lid just above the water. 5. Rise came with tds strips so I could see the hardness of my water, my water is RO so I did not need that but again pointing out one more thing that Rise gave for free. 6. Mobile app - Both have a mobile app but Rise's is much better organized. It measures your EC(not sure how accurate that is so I bought my own EC meter) and tells you how much to square from the pH down solution they give you and how much of the food to add. You need to remember to do this with Gardyn every week and they always ask you to add the same. Well EC in water can vary so that's not a good sustainable approach. 7. AI - Gardyn continuously tries to sell an "AI" model that will tell me when to feed my plant. That model is not very good, like I said it does not offer any EC reading, no pH reading. Costs $35 a month(membership cost)!!! Rise does not try to twist my arms to buy into a useless AI and has reminders and everything. 8. Food - Plants need different nutrients during different cycles of their life. Rise comes with "sprout" and "blossom" to address the different stages. Gardyn comes with just 1 food. HOWEVER Gardyn gives you more food versus Rise. However Rise's is more adequate. 9. Looks - That's the only reason I kept my Gardyn. Because it's like a vertical system so one can admire all of their plants at the same time. It's sort of like a vegetable painting on your wall. So I would say Gardyn wins here if this is what you are after. Rise looks really good too but you won't see all your plants at the same time after they are fully grown. 10. Rewards program - Rise has a very adequate rewards program. I will next use my rewards to buy some trellis where I don't recall such a program with Gardyn. 11. Support - I liked Garden's support better. More on point and quicker. 12. Maintenance - I think that would be subjective. Depends on how often you maintain your system throughout the year. Seems like Gardyn will be more difficult to do deep cleaning of but I am not sure yet. 13. Parts - Both companies sell parts and that is great. 14. Configuration - Rise hands down. Rise allows you to upgrade your system from 1 to 2 or 3 levels. And now even allows you to upgrade from regular system to Rise Roma. There's 0 flexibility with Gardyn. Overall I think Rise Garden is likely the best indoor hydroponic system right now. Gardyn is probably second best. Aurogarden has smaller, less impressive systems so I did not even consider them. Rise's quality is superb and I feel that I got all the value for my money I was looking for, maybe even a little extra.

I contacted them last year in november with product questions regarding their filters and they said they were going to share internal testing results of contaminants. But they have not done so til this day. Months gone by with no replies when writing back. They also lied about having internal data to support removal of lead (and later removed the statement from the website) and kept ignoring my product questions. At this point I can't trust this company or recommend it because they can't provide answers or back up their filter claims with data. Like other water filter companies they mostly seem interested in marketing... Edit: note that the problem was not that you did not ship to Sweden... You still haven't answered my product questions or gotten back to me with the promised testing data: 11/21/2023 "And for the technical aspects of your last email. I have sent those questions out to our consumer engineering team and I will send you’re their responses once I receive them." 11/20/2023 "We do have data on some pharmaceutical and industrial chemicals that Purefast can remove via previous testing that I could share."
