Some say that the lid is poorly designed and the outer edge is useless. They also say that it's very shallow and cheap.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
How has it worked? In 3 - 4 days I had 90% germination with my Sun King Broccoli. And now 4-6 days my Granex onions are coming up well. A lot of people are suggesting regular shop lights 3-4 inches above will make them nice and strong. I went ahead and invested in a grow light (not sure how that will work). I share this with you because I reviews as well. If you are going to plant with a heat mat, go ahead and get this station but understand that getting your plant out might prove to be a challenge.
The entire set up is very good and functions but with a few hiccups here and there. The condensation builds and drips off the dome outside of it, not into the tray, so I have to constantly wipe the side dry so my heat mat doesn't sit wet.
The plastic is very flimsy so you have to be delicate when handling this product. Comes with 0.5oZ of CloneX and the tray holds most of the root riots i use in place, except for the top centimeter which is fine.
The cord for the heat mat is about 6-7' long, everything is MADE IN CHINA. Every single part of this set up.
3.5 stars due to the almost useless side vent covers and for being such a cheap product and not striving for quality which I will be looking for once I upgrade from this.
Gets the job done, but there are better quality products available.
***UPDATE: After using this for a quite a while now it has paid itself off ten fold. Although the materials used are thin and cheap feeling they get the job done. Seeds are germinating within 3 days to sprouts sometimes sooner, all clippings are at a 100% success rate. The heat mat is a winner and such a steal when alone it can be up to 25$! Very good product for the price. Recommended! Five stars for functionality, perfect plant starter! Updated 7/2/12
First, the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is pretty flimsy. As other posters have mentioned, the air vents don't stay in well. One of mine didn't even fit out of the box. That was ok in the grand scheme because I planned to leave one off anyways for proper airflow.
I've also seen people complaining about tearing up the bottom part when pulling the seedlings out. What worked for me was a plastic spork (courtesy of my local popeyes) and I've had not issues with that. I would not suggest using metal on these trays.
Secondly, the grow light is very important (and it's positioning.). I was getting some good sprouts, but I read some guides that were talking about the plants getting "leggy", so I moved the lights to about an inch from the clear cover. I cooked most of those seedlings. I've found that having the lights about 4 inches from the top of the cover is best for making sure all the plants get uv light, and not baking them. Some of my sprouts have gotten leggy, but I believe that's because I don't transplant them to my secondary indoor grow station soon enough.
Finally, I have a fan that I try to run for 3-4 hours a day that blows through the open vent on the side. I've found that turning the container 180 degrees has helped my seedlings grow quicker. A) both sides get proper airflow. B)in case my heating pad doesn't evenly distribut heat, this balances it out. C) it's near a closed window/ac vent, so that makes sure temps/ambient sunlight gets balanced.
Tldr: plastic spork to remove plants. Don't put the grow lights too close. Turn the container 180 deg ever few days. If anyone has any questions PM me.
Top reviews from other countries
Pros:
The heat mat provides consistent warmth, promoting faster and healthier seedling growth.
The size (11 X 22 Inch) is quite adequate for starting multiple seedlings at once.
The humidity control feature via adjustable vents is a definite plus.
The kit is simple to assemble, even for someone without much gardening experience.
Cons:
The plastic cover seems a bit flimsy and could be more durable.
There's no built-in thermometer, making it difficult to monitor the temperature.
The tray tends to warp under continuous heat over time.
Light penetration through the cover could be better to optimize plant growth.
My conclusion:
The Jump Start CK64060 Hot House with Heat Mat offers a good starting point for seedlings, providing consistent warmth and humidity control. However, the lack of a built-in thermometer and the durability of some components are areas where it falls short. For hobbyists and beginners in gardening, this kit is a decent option, but for more serious or professional gardeners, a more robust setup might be required.
My first impression was disappointment at the flimsy plastic. I was expecting a higher quality plastic that would give me a couple years of use rather than this delicate, flimsy plastic. The vents are kind of a friction fit. They have to be pushed into the slots and care has to be taken because of the weak plastic used.
The dome over laps the tray on the outside, and condensation drips over the edge. I left it on the table over night and had water clean up in the the morning. The condensation drip is constant and annoying. Even my cheap $7 dome has an inner lip so condensation drips inside the tray.
The heat mat is 7 watts. It is good they tried to keep the wattage low because of sky rocketing electric bills, but 7 watts is inadequate. I set the thermostat for 80, it has never reached that temperature. When my wood burning stove is really hot, I have seen it up to 78 degrees. I even used 2 inch rigid insulation as they recommend. It is not capable of keeping plants warm if your sun room is cool. However, it did keep the plants warm when it is inside at room temperature.
It does the job but it will likely not last long.
