Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorio VKP1013 Round Three-Tray Kitchen Seed Sprouter
Customer Review: Good Basic sprouter
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good basic sprouter to start. As other reviewers pointed out the water may not drain out completely. We need to make sure excess water is drained out by tilting the sprouter. Other than that minor inconvenience, it seems to be doing the job as it supposed to do. I was able to get good sprouts using alfalfa, mung beans, Radish sprouting mix, fenugreek seeds. I tried to make some mustard sprouts with out any success so far. I bought two of these from Amazon, but somehow when I ordered the second one, it is listed as baby product. I am not sure why this is listed as baby product since I don't forsee to use this for making any baby recepies!! Do they want us to feed the babies with sprouts?Customer Review: Just started sprouting
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first sprouting tray I've tried, and I liked it. Draining makes things easy, except like other reviewers, I noticed it doesn't drain completely. I think it would be hard to design one that did, though. It would have to be kind of asymmetrical, I imagine. Come to think of it, I'm going to try putting the drains all on the same side, and tilting the trays in that direction (except the water-catching bottom!) I found with paying attention, the sprouts came out fine. I did have a problem with the smaller seed I tried, but I think that was my fault. The seed was supposed to only get sun on the last day, but I kept it with the other seeds I was sprouting. Even that sprouted eventually.Customer Review: My new obsession
Summary: 4 Stars
This makes sprouting unbelievable simple. Even though I garden, I really do not think you even need to know anything about gardening. I would say this is easier than keeping a houseplant--just water once a day. It is a great way to get some fresh produce growing when it is too cold for growing in my greenhouse. Even my husband has taken a liking to it.
The only drawback is that I wish there were at least one extra tall tray for sprouting mung beans. They sprout fine in these trays but would really flourish in a slightly taller tray. I have contacted Victorio about this, but I am not sure one request will mean much to big company. Fingers crossed.
Customer Review: Back to buy more.
Summary: 4 Stars
The siphoning problem is simple to solve. You just have to make sure you put enough water in the trays to rise above the little inserts. The siphoning won't start until you do. I do arrange the outlets over each other, to help wash the seeds away from the inserts. I don't like having sprouts grow in the little fins.
I start the seeds by soaking them in a small layer of water, too small to start the siphoning, then when I put in my nightly watering that rinses and starts the siphoning and so I don't have to transfer them.
This will be my third set in over 10 years (I think). The trays do break if you drop them often enough!LOL!
Customer Review: Yum Yum Yum!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is great. It works wonderfully. The only problem I had with it was most likely my lack of attention to detail as I did think it would be much larger for the price. It isn't really that difficut to mimmick these conditions in a plastic tote with holes drilled and maybe a paper towel at the bottom. If you aren't usually a do it yourself person, this is a good way to sprout. Clear instructions and simple procedure. Lintels (as well as the alfalfa provided) work well in this product and they are one of our favorites. You eat something that is soil free and still living at the time! The food is less enzyme inhibitors and full of nutrients.
