Draining caps wore out, & are not replaceable.
An earlier review said exactly what I was going to say. I loved the way the clear green stack looked by the window, and I had a year and a half of beautiful sprouts. The tiers did drain too slowly with tiny broccoli and alfalfa sprouts, & got stuck in the little red draining caps, & were hard to clear out. But now my last draining cap has worn out and so no more tiers can work. The hard plastic will last for a hundred years or more, but the whole thing is now useless. I would order replacement caps if possible.

Works but clogs
I've had this sprouter for a few years, had a different cheaper one prior that worked much better. The trays are fine, seeds do sprout but the red caps for the drain get clogged with seeds and they don't drain well. I have to manually shake the tray and clear around the drain, if I don't, the seeds get rotty and smelly fast. Also, the trays don't stack securely, the lip that fits into the top of one beneath it is too shallow and they tilt and unseat easily. I am currently shopping for a better sprouter, I do not recommend this one.

Wears Out Fast--Needs Replacement Parts
This lasted about three years, though it never drained very well with tiny seeds. In the photo you can see the little red caps (there's one on each tier). It's through these that the water drains out. They are soft plastic, and wear out quickly. I think the transparent green is very pretty and appealing, and I liked the way it looks on my counter. The hard plastic will probably go on for a hundred years. So it's a stupid design that depends on tiny, fragile parts which are not sold as replacements. Because of this, I think it's overpriced. They should sell the replacement parts! I've had a lot of beautiful sprouts from this, but now only one tier is working, and that one is feeble.

great sprouter, but directions not the best
Surprised at neg comments. First, don't use more than 1 level tablespoon of seeds in each tray, for broccoli or similar small seeds. Try 1/2 your first time perhaps. Scatter them around evenly as possible. Use filtered water if possible. Pour enough water in top tray, pouring on top of the red
drain, so it keeps it free of seeds, pour ALL THE WAY TO 1/8 IN FROM TOP. It needs the volume to drain properly due to gravity. (no matter how many trays have seeds ) You can put the unit on top of a pan or plastic cake platter to pick up the bottom tray and not spill it everywhere, pour into bucket to use on plants. We water TWICE the first 2 days. Water EVERY DAY after that. Broccoli tend to be stronger smelling than alfalfa for instance, a cancer-fighting agent according to some research. Set the unit's trays on paper towel when emptying water. Sometimes there is an air-lock or seed in the drain, use a toothpick. After they sprout, not a problem for us. If a tray isn't draining, use a toothpick from underneath. Don't put in dark, needs air, no direct light. I rotate trays after they sprout, 3rd-4th day b/c top gets more light in kitchen. Ready in 5 days. I don't think city-water with chlorine is good, use bottled water if you can. On first day, I sometimes use a soft paintbrush and spread out wet seeds into grooves if they get too mounded, after sprouting, not a problem. We use a biodegradable soap to wash without fragrance, Seventh Generation is good, don't reuse water on seeds, bacteria needs to be flushed-out.

Moldy sprouts
Followed all directions and got moldy sprouts due to lack of air circulation with this unit. Will contact customer service and probably return!

Great Purchase - Easy to Use
I was a little hesitant to purchase this for $30+, but it is really easy to use, easy to clean up. The sprouts take no time at all to grow. It just sits on my kitchen counter. Plus, since you only use a couple tablespoons for each batch, 1 packet of seeds will last quite a while. I have trouble finding sprouts at the grocery store, even the fancier stores, so If you enjoy sprouts, make them at home for a fraction of the cost. I recommend this product.
