I want my money back! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***. on 4 February 2023* I bought this introductory kit to test out the Blumat system and I am thoroughly impressed. I tested it out for a week before I had to be away from my garden. I tested it on one plant and no tweaks were ever needed. I simply followed the instructions and it was set up perfectly. I can remotely monitor my garden when I'm away and the leaves on my plant were "praying" the entire time I was away. I will probably just continue to use this going forward since the roots (and my plant) are always happy. It uses less water than regular watering too so there are some efficiency gains with this system. I have since ordered more hoses, connections, etc. from Blumat so I can expand this system to the rest of my garden. Note: I would recommend checking out YouTube videos from Sustainable Village as they offer some very good tips for installation and ensuring a reliable set up. This is a versatile system with all the different products and accessories they offer. Those videos really help shed light on everything Blumat can do. Update January 2024: I have ordered several more Blumat products since getting this kit and I really can't speak highly enough about their stuff. Literally everything I have ordered from them is just quality. It makes me think of Sony or something (you ever see a bad Sony piece of gear?). Anyway, their stuff is all legit in my opinion and I am just very happy I found these folks and I want to spread the word.
