It's certainly easy to use. I got it at a steep discount, so that was nice. Otherwise, I'd consider it to be rather expensive. It puts out a ton of light, which can be very nice in the right room. (We liked it.) The app sucks, and the subscription is very expensive for getting more plants than you'll be able to use. (I don't have a subscription.) There's some CAD models for various parts; I'd rather 3D print some of the e.g. rockwool baskets and caps rather than buy from the company. If you get one, make sure you stay on top of root maintenance. You could also certainly find the plant food for cheaper. It can produce a ton of lettuce if that's what you want to grow. We liked trying different greens. I grew some nice jalapenos as well. Can't recommend much other big fruiting plants though—they're trickier to take care of.
