Works, easy to use
These work by drawing water from a cup into drier soil. If the water level in the cup is higher than the water level in the pot, it will flow quickly in and perhaps overflow the drain in the pot. Adjustment of the soil moisture can achieved by the level of water in the cup relative to the soil.

Very good hobby-level machine
What I like:
- It comes well-equipped with what others would call "upgrades", with limit switches and a z-probe
- It comes with an offline controller (although it took a bit of figuring out)
- It was shipped almost fully assembled
- 300W motor makes this a mid-grade hobby machine, although the motor is DC (upgradeable to a better brushless motor)
- The drag chains and cabling are well-thought out and nice, although I needed to add a couple of zip ties to hold the motor cable, to keep it from entering and getting pinched in the z-axis carriage.
- It has an external box with a large stop button.
- For machines in its class, it was a bargain.
What I don't like so much:
- The instruction manual was minimal. There was no documentation for the operation of the offline controller. Experienced users will be fine, new users will have to come up to speed.
- The X and the Y axes are belted rather than screwed. That's probably okay at reasonable feed rates.
- The X and the Y axes use the rubberized guide wheels common on 3D printers. I'm expecting to have to change these periodically. With the rubber belts and wheels, and a heavy motor carriage to move (compared to a 3D printer nozzle), I'm concerned about accuracy.
It's going to need a dust collection system for serious work. I'll build an enclosure for mine with a 6-inch fan to a filter (I've previously used a pillowcase) to capture dust.
