T48D Klone System with Dome

*8/17 Absolutely love this machine. I pulled one collar and cutting out to check on day seven and it was showing signs of rooting. I unplugged it for a minute to check underneath on day eight, (today), and all of my cuttings were showing signs of root development. I put approximately 8 liters of water in the reservoir and using Clonex cloning solution I started out at 6 ml per liter, at day 5 I bumped it up to 8 ml per liter. Still waiting for them to develop some more before I take them out. From what I'm seeing so far I'd say that this machine is well worth the money if you want to be sure and get roots on all of your cuttings. Seems to be living up to it's 100% ratio reputation so far.*Edit - Four years later and this thing is still going strong! I'm amazed by all the negative reviews that have sprouted up here, maybe quality control has dropped of since I bought mine...? I've started using just straight water in the reservoir for the first 5-6 days then adding just a few drops of General Organics CalMag and get great results, right around 100%!Absolutely love the design as well, all rounded corners inside, so there's no place for nasties to hide when cleaning! Best design in a aerocloner on the market!*(Little tip) It's best to try to keep the reservoir temperature below 80F, what I do is keep a couple ice packs, (or just small soda bottles with water), in the freezer so that I can toss one in the tank when the temp starts rising and I have one ready to switch it out with as needed. Works great!

I have tried building my own aeroponic cloners before. It simply cannot be accomplished in a rubbermaid bin, no matter what they leak and they hold so much water. I use the Clonex nutrient for clone machines and it is expensive so I like that this machine is designed to hold only 2 gallons. Not only does this machine have many more sites (I got the T24) The one I made held 15 gallons of water so this machine will pay for itself in nutrients alone which was a big selling point to me. The lid fits inside the base so the water doesn't leak. The fan is great and this is not only the only cloner I saw with a humidity dome but WOW what a dome! It could be taller but it's tall enough. It is made of thick sturdy plastic, I wouldn't be surprised if you could stand on it, I'm not going to try but wow good quality product that works. I have roots dangling down a week after ot arived. Very happy customer here!

Best working and best designed cloning machine out there.I saw some people rating this product 1/5 and I feel that I need to speak up and say that it is undeserved. One person in particular said that this product doesn't have a hole for the pump wire to get out of; this is a blatant lie, as they have a cable outlet built into the reservoir. This person actually drilled a hole through the side and sealed it with silicon when they should have used common sense first; on the back of the reservoir, plain as day, is a cable lip that leads from the inside to the outside of the reservoir. It's also the perfect size for your cable to lay in. If it still isn't broad-side-of-a-barn obvious to you, in the directions they show you a step-by-step process of their already obvious blueprint, including where to put the cable. Since when is blaming someone else for your own lack of observational ability an excuse to say such rude things about their product? How stupid can you get?

Solid build. Most important no leaks.

Oh... I have waited at least a month from my purchase of this device to ensure its review was a fair one and now that I am writing it, I am so excited to report my findings. Yes, I love science, this was a great experiment.Highlights:1. Does successfully propogate root growth with a 85-90% success rate.2. Dome provides excellent humidity and with no vents for the user to monkey with, it removes guesswork.3. Growth occurred with my one 40w, (150 watt) CFL in a standard silver-coned work light you can pick up at any hardware store for $8 or less.4. It cloned various plants including; roses, tomato, and also started from seed starters.5. I found cloning success rates much higher with the use of a cloning gel. I use Rootech. This is also likely impacting the bottom line of your success rate, so consider using something.6. I also use a root compound to stimulate growth, Great White. My plants love it and I love my plants, so....This device is well worth the money, even if you're considering building your own. The molded frame is as solid as heat-set plastic can be. But what I love about it is the inset that allows you to move 1.5" plugs anywhere you want, without worry of them falling through into the bucket.From a safety perspective, this device should have a protected inline switch or default GFI plug considering it's a wet device and people aren't likely to plug this in their bathroom or kitchen. It is also why I am giving it 4 stars. I do recognize that nobody is going to lift the lid off while in operation and manhandle the pump (No pun intended). Also that submersible pumps only require me to plug in to a GFI, but again, for the money, include it.

Ran 3 batches of clones with this, at about a 93% success rate. I dont think any that didnt root were because of the machine I didnt have much stem to work with on a few trimmings. The plastic is a little flimsy but has not broke, i am worried at times cleaning it i might crack it. Definitely a sexy looking setup compared to other companys models. I've never used a machine before just root plugs and humidity dome, so i have nothing comparable to compare against, but I'm content with my purchase. It's doing the job as expected.

# 1

It works fine. I have 3 big ones and this is for smaller cuts. It's rooting clones right now.

It arrived fast

Didn't work for me. Followed all instructions and all cuttings rotted. Water temp, PH were exactly correct as per aeroponics' forums. What they don't tell you is that you need to buy an interval timer; for setting time on/off (ie, 2 min on, 5 min off) and an aquarium pump with air stones to bubble the the water for extra oxygen. Very disappointed. Side by side comparison with cuttings in rock wool and humidity dome - rooted at 70% success. Same water, light, etc

Great product but lots of broken parts from shipping I assume ! Contacted amazon, they sent another one right away... but when it arrived more broken parts soooo I kept the first one and use parts from both to make one good unit !
