Summary: Great space saver !!
Comment: This item is wonderful for growing smaller crops of several varieties for consumption. I love the white as well so I can SEE it is clean.
I enjoy sprouts over lettuce on sandwiches and in salads, and even to top soups and decorate plates. This makes it much easier and takes up little space.
Thanks !!

Summary: Easy to use
Comment: This sprouter is easy to use and small quantities can be sprouted. With several small chambers, I can have fresh sprouts constantly. I really like this product and use it all the time.

Summary: A great option for vertical sprouting
Comment: These smaller sized Sprout Master sprouters are great for smaller batches of leafy sprouts or bean sprouts. The optional tray dividers makes it easy to make small batches of as many as six different sprouts at a time. The larger tray would be better for big batches, but using these trays in concert can achieve the same effect. For most people (not feeding too large a family), I would suggest starting out with these and evaluating whether you often want to make larger batches than you can manage in a single smaller tray.
There are four "lids" that come with this set and are all exactly the same. Put one below to catch any water and use the one on top if you want to block off light (this helps prevent the growth of green leaves, which is usually how bean sprouts are grown). With four lids and three trays you'll find it necessary to stack the trays if you want to cover more than one at a time. The Sprout Master's drainage holes allow excess water to drain off very effectively.
If you've sprouted in a jar before, you'll probably find this to be much easier. Hold the tray under running cool water two or three times a day, then allow excess water to run off before putting the tray away. The sprouts should be thoroughly rinsed to prevent spoilage, kept moist at all times, but not allowed to sit in water. (By comparison, with jar sprouting you'd need to fill and drain the jar of sprouts repeatedly to rinse the sprouts well, then it's more difficult to get them properly drained.)
One minor complaint is that some of the smallest seeds can get caught in the drain holes. In my experience, broccoli is large enough to be safe, but with alfalfa or clover you might get a few seeds stuck. When you're cleaning the tray after use you may need to get a small poking instrument to knock one or two out again. The "Easy Sprouter" device doesn't have this problem, but allows slightly less light to reach your sprouts because of it's shape. Neither is a very significant complaint, and I find that the Easy Sprouter gets sufficient light for most purposes.

Summary: Very easy
Comment: I have the larger version of this item, and am now buying this one. I like it, but the larger version is just too big for my crowded refrigerator. I've had other sprouters in the past, and this one is as good or better than any I've tried. (Skip quinona (sp?) seeds, however. They were my one disaster).
