The Smart Box is easy to clean and set up. Instructions are not great with details. Evn AI got confused by what is on the web. It is difficult to remove all the plastic wrap from the shitake pod as instructd, because the pod tends to break apart. Because the box itself is plastic, mine was a bit warped when it arrived, so the door to the chamber would not seal completely, which made holding humidity difficult. I wrapped the unit with a strip of plant tape to keep the corners from gaping, and each time I open the door to replenish thee water tank, I make sure the top fits over little door hooks before resecuring the tape. The humidity still varies between 75-85% per cycle. The boot tim/power-up time counter reset to zero for no apparent reason, a known issue. Because the unit takes in outside air for circulation, if the temperature is warm, the unit will not be able to keep optimal temperature. During a heatwave, mine 28-29 degrees during the day. The recommended solutions are cumbersome - chilled bottles next to the unit to cool th intake. Bottom line - you have to plug it in in a cool place. None of the settings are adjustable, so it's difficult to determine what variety of mushrooms will grow best in the unit. Furthermore, different growth stages require slightly different tempratures and humidity, which the unit dosn't know and can't be adjusted. Automation has its limits. If you require more humidity, you can try spraying the pod as is done with the more traditional kits. If it's too warm, it's too warm. Good luck.
