Cheaper – you can build one with off-the-shelf parts anywhere in the world using my Free Plans, and Dan's Mist Kit if you can't find misting nozzles in your country. | Expensive to ship globally because the growing container exceeds the size limitations of US Postal Service. |
Bigger – has Six 3x13-inch trays, or get the Large Gogreen with these six trays plus three 6x13-inch wheatgrass trays. Trays are 2-inches high which sunflower greens and wheatgrass prefer (both grow to height of 8-9 inches). | Five
3x12-inch trays.
Each tray is only one-inch high. |
Quiet as a sleeping baby – uses water pressure for the misting. Stand next to it and you won't hear a whisper. Perfect for small homes and juice bars, restaurants, wherever you don't want noise to disturb you. | Uses a noisy mist generator (works like a humidifier motor). I needed a separate room for this sprouter where I had to close the door at night. Noise stresses plants too, not just humans! |
Grows tall, sweet, crisp greens, with white roots – Dan's growing container is 9.5-inches high – sunflower grows to 8 inches tall, wheatgrass to 9 inches. Greens breathe freely. | Growing container is a cramped 5.5-inches high inside – must remove wheatgrass for last few days of growth, and water manually. |
Grows wheatgrass along with greens, bean and grain sprouts – when you get the Large container – with three 6"x13" wheatgrass trays and six 3"x13" trays for baby greens and bean sprouts, all in one Sprouter. | When growing wheatgrass, there's no space to grow greens or bean sprouts – one wheatgrass tray fills the entire sprouter. My customers and I had to buy additional sprouters for greens and beans (more noise, more cost). |
Low maintenance – no water container to fill or clean (optional if you want it – see FAQs). Water-line is connected to a faucet or cold water pipe, you can go away for a week and come home to fresh living greens in your Sprouter. | High maintenance – must fill water container DAILY and clean it often because it quickly slimes up. EasyGreen claims it has self-cleaning "disinfecting" cycle but in fact this uses bleach (which makes the fish go blind) and you must remove your plant trays for hours. I did not enjoy the hassle of scrubbing out the water container, it's so hard to reach into it. |
No tray rotation – my Sprouter has mist nozzles interspersed on both sides creating a swirl of high-oxygen mist over your plants. You never have to rotate trays, they all receive equal misting. | Must turn each tray around daily, because the mist comes from only one side where water compartment is. The end facing the mist grows faster, so you have to turn every tray every day for the other end to face the mist. |
Missionary Paula of Sanford, FL, e-mailed me:
With the EasyGreen, you must stay at home every day to nurse it with water, no weekend breaks. In fact, if I came home from work too late at night, the water compartment had emptied and my greens wilted. |

Uses locally-bought parts with free 800-# tech support by the companies who make the parts. Buy everything at Wal-Mart and the big hardware stores, or get a complete Mist Kit from Dan, or a ready-built Sprouter. No shopping! | Broken parts must be returned to factory for replacement, at your cost (while your sprouts rot). The mist generator broke down most often – I have e-mails from customers testifying to this! |
Flexible
for juice bars, restaurants, and health stores
– you choose the size growing container and plant trays for your needs,
e.g.
depending on how many ounces of wheatgrass juice you want daily or weekly.
For health stores or a sprout-supply business, you can grow sprouts and greens in the two-piece vented plastic containers for re-sale, instead of using trays. A customer in South Africa bought a few basic Mist Kits (with my Plans for Free), built her own Sprouters with local storage boxes and trays, and now supports her family supplying local stores with sprouts + greens. |
No
flexibility – both growing container and plant trays are fixed in size.
The vented containers that sprouts are sold in, do not fit under EasyGreen's low misting height – not to mention the noise of all the mist generators going off at once (depending on the number of sprouters used) and huge expense! |
Adaptable for off-the-grid – rechargeable battery-operated parts are available in place of the electrical ones (same price). | Mist generator requires connection to an electrical outlet – for those off the grid, the manufacturer e-mailed me that they need a high-cost 150W inverter. |
Available to anyone anywhere in the world – buy the bulky heavy parts in your country (the growing container and plant trays) and all the small light parts in local stores or as a Mist Kit from Dan. | Expensive for overseas customers because of the high cost of shipping the growing container, plus extra cost for 220v mist generator (USA uses 110v). |
Add additional Sprouters whenever you want – at low cost. Use the same water-line for multiple Sprouters. | Additional sprouters are full price. |
