Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've had mine for several months now, but haven't been using it the past month or so. If you can set it up near a sink, it is great, but if you need to have it elsewhere it can be a pain in the butt to carry back and forth. When I use jars, I put them in a dish drainer (wire inside of a solid) and can carry it back and forth more easily. The tray in it is sort of divided in four sections with a raised line. I have used different seeds, even with different growing time frames, in the different sections, and it worked well; some crossover of seeds, but not enough to be an issue. I like the fact that I don't have to worry about it but twice a day. Some have been able to only change the water once a day, but I found lots of foaming by twelve hours, and found that was as long as I could get with it. Still, not too bad. :~) Thia On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 12:19 PM, cindyann01527 <C923@...>wrote: > > For those who have this sprouter, what do you think of it in terms of > ease of use, clean up and quality of the sprouts? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 The foaming is normal. Don't let it concern you. It is usually gone after the second rinse. ew Re: Fresh Life Sprouter Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 23:16:52 -0500 I've had mine for several months now, but haven't been using it the past month or so.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Not sure what you mean by " the second rinse " Ernest, or maybe you misunderstood me. I changed the water every twelve hours when using the Freshlife. Each time I changed the water there was foam. I'm not saying it concerned me, but I wasn't about to let it go for 24 hours, because the book that came with it said to change the water when foam appears, which is what I did.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 To me the second rinse is the second day. I only change water once a day. I will have to dig out the book and read it again. ew Re: Fresh Life Sprouter Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 03:59:58 -0500 Not sure what you mean by " the second rinse " Ernest, or maybe you misunderstood me.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I only change the water once a day also. One day we decided to camp out overnight on the spur of the moment and did not come back till the next night. The sprouts missed their water change for one day and a half and they were just fine. A great advantage of an automatic sprouting machine! The water was a bit foamy, but I just change the water and also ran the water sprayer attached to the faucet over the trays really well, to give them an extra rinse. Now I do that each time I change the water. Thanks, EW for the suggestion! Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi everyone, Vitacost.com also has the FreshLife sprouter for 78.99. It will tell you that the price is too low to show but will give you the price after adding it to the cart. That's where I purchased mine and so far I love it.
