Ok, I'll bite.
It was easy to set up and had no leaks.
The fit and finish looked good out of the box and it does have a very sleek design.
It is light weight, small motor and kind of "plasticky".
Not bad, that was just my impression.
*Seemed* perfect for those who want a little, easy mist/rain system for say 1 - 4 vivs.
It was a holiday gift and I was pleased.
It worked well for a month or so.
The mist was more like a cross between a fine spray from a spray bottle and your car windshield washer spray.
Still ok.
But it went slowly downhill from there.
Now it is June.
The electronic controls went on the fritz at about month 2.5.
And first it was just the timing and duration that went wrong.
It would spray to short, like 2 seconds, or spray too long like min.s
Then, the day timing went.
It would spray at any time for any duration. Sometimes until it emptied itself.
My fix:
Because it "re-sets" and sprays after power being cut, I now have it on a timer to turn it on 5 min. at a whack, 4 x a day.
It sprays intermittently throughout those 5 min. it is on.
That is working for now, so I am running it that way until it dies out.
My end thought:
Pass it over until Hagen (Exo-Terra) stops using such faulty (cheap) electronics in the unit.
