Biorb Air 60 Terrarium Final Thoughts - Is it worth the price? 🤔

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Just to let you guys know.. I am now officially taking the non existent term 'liten', it's my thing now, we'll put it on MOG merch, it's gonna be great 😂😂😂😂 these shelves are LITEN bro!! 🤣🤣🤣

Well said! What a scam... I love how eco friendly you are!

[@SolarPowerChannelwithChris]

I would look at them again. Bluetooth phone app and the lights are bright.

[@Banano91f]

Thank you so much to keep your content so HONEST and truthful through all these years.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Always! 🧡

[@kimberlyskinner8177]

THANK YOUUUUUU! Now I can save my brain cells from admiring this Biorb and my money 💓. I have seen other plant KZbinrs set them up but, never later updates or reviews. I don't know if negative reviews are allowed if the company sends it to you, as a sponsorship.?. The white sci-fi look is what has mostly prevented me from trying it. I may have taken the plunge is it was black😱. My natural light space is taken up by plants and to put a Biorb in that space would take up prime plant real estate. Hopefully, the company sees your review and makes some simple adjustments. You aren't a negative person normally, you are more about helping and fixing any problems 😍. Thank you again,I love you and your videos 💞.

[@baltschoolofdance]

THANK YOU SO MUCH Danny! I was having some bio orb envy before this video but now I do not. Every point you made was completely valid. They need to do better for the price and reduce the waste.

[@pammcassey6641]

Fablous information, I was going to spend the $$$ and get this. Not now, I will be making my own set up.

[@milamilla1977]

That's right, now we are talking about growing computer. I was working on software for it for a while, and I can say that your input is priceless! (And yes, they forgot insulated walls).

[@kimberlyd317]

Wow! Really appreciate the time invested to develop some justifiable opinions! I have been wanting one of these but did feel like they were a little too good to be true. Honestly, the only con that really is deterring me is the light situation. One of my main reasons for wanting was for a low light area. If I’d have to provide supplemental light for happy plants it would totally defeat the purpose! Yes I’ll wait so if 2.0 comes out to see if that’s an improvement. Thank you 😊

[@littleminna]

I first saw the biorb on KZbin when I was looking for information on how to make a terrarium, about two years ago. I thought this biorb sure looks pretty, but once I saw the price I was like: no way that I would ever spend that much! 😏 I just got myself a medium sized terrarium, cost 10 euros including sand, the charkoal and the stones for the bottom. I followed Serpa Disigns recipe for terrarium potting mix here on KZbin.

[@johnwilson1489]

My biorb is working fine. The light is sufficient for my low light orchids. The only thing I have to do is to drain the resuviour every now and then as I do water every 4-5days since many of my orchids are mounted.

[@empyrionin]

Orchids were brought onboard ships, in closed terrariums, for months at a time (during the 17th century). No "watering every 4-5 days". Why do people shy away from closing their terrarium? It's practically heresy nowadays. I don't understand... Especially with a "smart" design which monitors temperature and humidity...

[@emmybellbell]

Hey Dani! Thank you so much for the honest review! I just wanted to let you know the correct word would have been “lit” instead of “litten.” Just wanted to help! I hope you can find an easier way to light up the bioOrb. It’s so large and the extra lights just make it an even bigger set up AND the lights aren’t even grow lights? Such a shame.

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Oh you English teachers, maybe that's how she says it in her country.

[@kevins9242]

If your close friend was about to be viewed on the evening news and had food on her cheek, would you tell her so that she could wipe it off?

[@givim80]

I was just setting up mine. A gift from bf… and noticed the same thing. Come to KZbin to seek some advices on how to… your video is the only one goes in depth on how this product actually perform. Truly appreciate it

[@simplelife3551]

Great review...100% agree. I've been looking for a Biorb 60 for a while now and just waiting for some upgrades. Thanks for the great review.

[@sharonbrowne2311]

Well, I was going to purchase one, however after seeing this video I most definitely won't be! Thanks for the heads up!

[@billymacaraeg7761]

i think a regular aquarium is just as good for a terrarium setup and for me, a lot better than that🧐, but I love the shape and the specs it has. A huge glass fish bow like shaped for an environment setup is rare to have in my area😁👍

[@milamilla1977]

Big fishbowl type if terrarium should be insulated and kept away from sun, otherwise temperature is rising rapidly. Temperature control is very important, but orb has no means to control it.

[@NamelessNancy1312]

There's not real control over the fogger feature either. I recently got an orb and after my light cycle finished, the fogger kept going WAY past when it was supposed to have stopped cycling for the night

[@jennys1876]

came for the orchid content. stayed for the sassy way you slay!

[@LileLoveIt]

Love how Kaylee was like TOO MUCH LIGHT and youre TOO LITTLE light. But I also dont see any big benefits for myself with that amount of money. Great video as always 💚

[@SlMPATICA]

in the video Kaylee posted, you can definitely tell her biorb has WAY STRONGER lights! Also, kaylee's lights look much warmer in color. In other videos as well you can tell that other's people biorbs have stronger and different lights as well. It's not just a camera's setting thing. There's something wrong with your biorb! Kaylee - in the same video - mentioned that the biorb she purchased from amazon has some fault. Probably you biorb came from a faulty batch.

[@LileLoveIt]

@@SlMPATICA I also thought Kaylees Lights looks REALLY bright. I also thought her lights didnt have gaps between them . For that to happen she had to tape them shut with tape.

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

Yeah, I remember the specs are supposed to be 5400... I don't remember the measurement but I do remember that my western window on the 3rd floor off the ground had 4100, and my window doesn't have anything blocking the window, so the brightness on the BiOrb should be bordering on if not already too much for the plants she has in there.

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

@@LileLoveIt Yeah. And then when she showed the image of the tape having been burned off? Wewww those lights are i n t e n s e

[@malupeluchi6118]

Damn she’s right in every word I was just about to buy one now I’ll wait or look for something else.

[@leslierobertson385]

Thanks for this video! I probably would have bought one of these already if they bothered to make them available in Canada (also a pet peeve of mine...). I guess I was lucky I couldn't buy one!

[@NinjaOrchids]

I was going to get one, but the right space for it was tricky, so I never pulled the trigger. Thank you for your thoughts. I am still on the fence if I should get one... maybe when the 'fad' wears off and the price gets reduced drastically. It would make a great ICU chamber 😬

[@jaspercats]

I have seen many of these set up at my local pet store, and lights are bright in their orbs, it has a setting to raise and lower the lighting, you sure it’s up all the way? As the one at pet store are pretty bright, your lights look like its set on low. Nice video.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, my Biorb is an older model at this point, there is no brightness setting :) (video posted in 2021)

[@katharinahefti2570]

In my Biorb did grow exactly the same shrooms. It started after 9 months. But i also did use bark... I think it is the bark and not the coco.

[@ΝίκοςΘεοδωρίδης-η9ο]

Can you tell us the brand name or the link from where you purchased the humidity indicator device please?

[@johnmalerba804]

I have the Biorb 30 and the lighting is much better, and less expensive. The entire terrarium is totally lit up when the lights go on. Maybe because it`s smaller? I wonder if they have the same lighting for all sizes

[@gregorykusyk1345]

Excellent review !!

[@cherryblue7797]

Grow lights are mainly just stronger LEDS which have the colour spectrum set specifically for plants - plants can and will grow under regular LEDS but obviously you know your own plants best and some need more lighting. I do agree that the lights should be adjustable and the humidity and fans should have more setting options plus the whole thing should have connectivity especially for that price! Having said all that I strongly feel that your lighting unit is faulty. I’ve seen these before with the naked eye and if anything they were TOO bright and many users have complained about not being able to turn them down.

[@rowand2263]

I've wanted a terrarium. This product sounds good but the finer points sound like a nightmare to maintain. So glad you experimented for us. What a waste of money.

[@dsmith1543]

Great info. Thank you!

[@nicolapragnell920]

Liten isn’t a word 🤣 it would be lit. This is interesting. In another review I watched she found the lights were scorching the plants and taping some of the lights over to reduce the brightness

[@nnjandy]

Lighted.

[@GreyDevil]

All of the points and criticisms you had of it would 100 % be things that would drive me crazy as well. It might be possible for someone to mod the existing product and upgrade it, but it's ridiculous that the company has put no effort into making a fully functional product and still charge a premium price for it. Definitely save your money and get an aquarium.

[@John-zt9en]

Wow this is a great review as I was seriously thinking of buying one to replace my old exo terra. But after what I saw and you said in the video it really isn't worth it for me. The leds are too weak, no Wi-Fi, no room to scape properly for my dart frogs. Shame really as its a gorgeous tank.

[@ceebeeeebee]

Dani, there is DEFINITELY something wrong with your biorb. I've had mine for years, and the lighting is so bright it actually burned the leaves of some of my plants. It's about 3 to 4 times as bright as yours. I actually covered up one of the lights because it was so bright. I've also found their customer service to be top notch. It's a damn shame you've had such a bad experience with yours. Contact them and see what they can do! That is NOT how it should look.

[@sdqsdq6274]

hmmm i was wondering as well , i saw a couple video they seem bright, and everyone has no complain about the light, but she did show the camera not capturing the real life brightness

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

Yeah, I remember Kaylee Ellen mentioning that her BiOrb was scorching her plants due to how bright it was. I don't quite remember the measurements, but I do remember that the BiOrb had lights that gave off more light than my Western window, and that's really saying something because I'm 3 floors off the ground with nothing blocking my window.

[@fredrikjensen2596]

Please make more aquarium videos 😊

[@GabrielMillerd]

It definitely needs to be modded to have a full ring of lights. On mine I 3D printed a ring with two loops / circles of lights. I find the fan to be problematic, I would rather have the fan just circulate within the ball to knock down the condensation.

[@AlbinoAxolotl]

Those humidity settings of “high medium and low” are such a joke! What is “high” 60%? 100%? What is low? 40%? 5%? Those numbers make a huge difference to the health of whatever plants are in there and are super important to know! They also change depending on the relative humidity in the surrounding environment, the season, and the temperature, so not knowing how to change your settings is a real problem! You can buy decent cheapie hygrometers for a couple of dollars so there is literally no excuse for this product to not give that kind of crucial information!

[@marioroz3142]

Great. Now I think I will just go to buy a fishbowl and watch some SerpaDesign videos 🤭

[@sdqsdq6274]

they sell fishbowl that big ?

[@marioroz3142]

@@sdqsdq6274 Yes, but you have to visit a specialty store. There is a Glassware store in a city nearby that sells giant vases and fishbowls. But normally big box stores sell 5 gallon bowls that make a decent mini terrarium, albeit much smaller.

[@kiyuemadkick]

If the ligt could be adjusted it would be somewhat redeemable as is. It could be used to keep flasklings with that feature.

[@ashleyswafford2044]

Is it worth it, if it's free? I was just given one today and I'm in love.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Anything is worth it if it's free! Yaay 😁

[@robb_iaco5227]

you saved my money

[@CKotaGo7]

I love the look of the Biorb but, I wouldn't spend that amount of money on it. I couldn't justify the high price tag for something so dated and with so many negative features. Also, I hate plastic. I think plastic cheapens products. Glass would probably be extremely heavy but, to me, it would be worth it.

[@danierrett2524]

I dunno how i feel about the electrolyte water…. Feels like the movie Idiocracy… here is an exact quote…. “Joe: For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff. Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.” Kinda think the bioorb water is a scam…

[@kathrynshaw192]

Hundreds of thousands of people around the World have oxygen ventilation systems at home that they use at night. These have similar sponge filters, except with easy access. The sponges are taken out on a regular schedule, washed in liquid dish detergent, dried thoroughly, and reused. In metropolitan areas, there are specialty companies that come out to verify that the machines remain in good working order. Yes, my knowledge does come from direct experience as a care giver.

[@njbaquatics4827]

It’s just lit. Litton is a small village in the south-west of England is not a word to describe illumination. Just so you know. I’m guessing English is not your first language.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Litten sounds cooler tho 😎🤣

[@nicholashurley5659]

I would say your bio orb grow light is faulty

[@stephaniesands119]

Great review Danni, what a rip off they obviously didn't run tests before popping it on the market

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

I was considering buying Biorb until I saw this video - given the price and old-fashioned and lack of technology, WTF 😀

[@SolarPowerChannelwithChris]

Don't this have a Bluetooth app to set the settings??

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Nop 😫

[@SolarPowerChannelwithChris]

​@@MissOrchidGirl ​@MissOrchidGirl the new ones have Bluetooth. I think your review is now old. In the app you can see the things you spoke of. Lighting is better. Think your review needs to be revisited. Thanks

[@SolarPowerChannelwithChris]

@@MissOrchidGirl I also see one in my local shop.. which is why I googled them. The light is bright. You sure you have the light settings too low?? Or a fault with your unit?

[@apc7716]

So your springtails don't eat the mold and don't do so much on the biorb.

[@otisschroeder9790]

I feel as though the idea of the bio orb is more enticing than the reality. I definitely want a version of this product!!

[@wimhelsen7248]

totally true about the biorb .. but i saw this just to late ;)

[@kendravoracek3636]

[@nnjandy]

Something is wrong with your lid. I have had mine for 6 years (time to redo) and has very bright lights. Oase replaced my lid a few years ago when the lights were going out. I switched to RO water, btw.

[@johnjanssens8998]

Is a SmartTerra any good?

Hi, never heard of it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@atherisgreen1391]

"Liten" is not a real word. Its lit...no need for the 'en", just sayin. But I agree with you on the rest.

Hi, Do you have a email where I can ask you something about one of my orchids, if possible?! Thank you

[@anacreation4]

👍🏻

I would not pay more then $60US for that. But more like $40US.

thank you, gonna remove it out of my wish list, i was interest about it for my anthurium but after i see that crazy price, no thank you, I can buy tons of plants instead.
