The reviewer noted that while the scientific principle behind the product is accurate, it often failed in practice due to the spout becoming clogged with compacted soil, which stopped water release. The reviewer also found them inconvenient to fill and clean compared to standard watering methods.
The review gave the product a positive verdict, confirming it worked well for hands-free watering over a week and a half period. The reviewers emphasized the importance of following instructions, particularly creating a starter hole in the soil to prevent the spout from clogging.
The reviewer labeled the product a failure, citing significant issues including difficulty in filling the narrow opening, instability leading to potential breakage, and a failure to function correctly because the spouts frequently clogged with dirt.
The reviewer found that the globes work as advertised once correctly positioned, confirming the two-week watering claim for most houseplants. However, they noted drawbacks such as the fragile nature of the glass, the difficulty of cleaning the narrow opening, and the risk of the tip clogging with soil.
