EarlyGrow MPL50035/P Heated Electric Shatter Resistant Medium Propagator for Seed Germination and Growth - 38 x 24 x 20 Centimetres - Green

Nice and sturdy with close fitting lid, adjustable vents. It does get a bit overwarm centre base, which I got concerned about and I have put a saucer on the bttom and that has just enough raise to lift the seed pots a bit above that area. I left the heater on all night and have also opened the vents a tad. I don`t want to be cooking my expensive tomato seeds edit:just to say that every one of my tomato seeds came up in double quick time. This propagator is worth every penny and it is easy to cope with steady base temperature with two small upturned saucers on the base plus the vents. I would buy this again tbh.

Perfect to keep my seeds warm, moist to aid their germination. The container is just the right size to house two trays of seeds. I am also able to attract a grow light above the container to help the seedlings not to get too leggy! Very easy to set up and use. Pretty much plus in and stay to use immediately. The unit is extremely solidly made and I am very pleased with it. For the money paid, I am happy and would recommend it to friends and family too.

This is well made. The clear cover is thick plastic, but the scalloped design impedes visibility. It produces quite a gentle heat, so is probably OK for germinating annuals to be planted out in the UK. It doesn't generate sufficient heat for germinating tropical seeds such as Adenium.

An excellent and high quality product. Each year I grow a variety of pepper plants from seed, and before I used this propagator, germination took ages - if it occurred at all. Using this device, germination was very speedy (typically within 5-7 days). I've managed to rotate through all of my plant seeds (peppers, tomatoes, courgettes, squash, sweet peas amongst others), taking them out of the propagator as soon as germination has taken place and replacing with new seeds. Thoiroughly recommended.

A very effective heated starter. Germination of my tomato seeds was speedy, the centre of the tray is slightly warmer than the edges. My probe thermometer indicates the edges to be at 22C and the centre is at 30C. Both in the sweet zone for effective germination. I’m making sure that the chillies go towards the centre and the tomatoes which don’t demand quite as much heat, but would tolerate those temperatures, go around the edges. I’m regretting putting two seeds in each module as all tomatoes appear to have come up. Chillies are quite a bit slower.

Bought for my dad, he likes to grow stuff, it's brilliant and works as advertised

Great item. Compact enough to be discreet in the house if you want to keep cuttings in over the winter. Good value.

Found with this that once germinated only 1 survived as much as I kept watering it and kept an eye on it it was getting too hot in the edge and the centre. So not equally dispersed heat. It works I guess but expected the heat to be evenly distributed. So lost out as was going through seeds like no body's business. Will just stick to 2 plates and some toilet roll.
