Hey, thanks for stopping by and asking! I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge:
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions, and if you end up buying an Aerogarden, we'd love to see your progress pics! Happy gardening!
Assuming you are using Bounty/Extra/Ultra - it looks like the Lights on those take astandard 2 prong electronics cord that can be directly plugged into the wall (I tested with multimeter on my bounty that it puts out/passes 120v AC) - What happens when you plug the hood by itself (bypassing the base)? - I wonder if it is shorting, and causing the base to trip/power down? Be sure to do this on a GFCI circuit...oh yeah, this suggestion is for entertainment purposes only, not liable for damages ;-)
I wouldn't mix types of plants. Doing two different kinds of peppers isn't a bad idea or just plant more thai pepper plants. You would only want 1-3 pepper plants anyways and put spacers in the extra holes.
I would never add seeds to an established garden. The lights would be too high and the roots space too limited. This is especially true for herbs as they are basically useful weeds.
Also, how high do your lights go? Pepper plants are 'tall' and need a model that has high lights, not all Aerogardens do peppers.
Wanting to grow more than one thing at a time is why a lot of owners keep multiple gardens. I keep three so I have herbs, greens and peppers going. Aerogarden is doing their Valentines sale which is usually one of their better sales if you want a second box.
Holy cow those are expensive! I found these to be much cheaper. The reviews look good too. Thanks for your help!
We utilized sticky tape for a while... but that never worked, and it was a pain to clean.
Our best advice is this product - it has a motion sensor that will spray air loudly and deter our cat from coming near the plants. We positioned it right next to our aerogarden. It’s a bit expensive, but our cat doesn’t go near our garden now... so worth it in my eyes!

You should be able to order from US amazon even if you're UK. Here's what I use. You might need to get creative to work around localization but my fiance orders from jp.amazon.com and uses an intermediary to ship it to the US.
Most of the newer aerogarden plastic cages can be reused if you're careful and transplant early enough. I reuse mine all the time. Or you can cut it free from all the roots when you restart a garden.
If you're going to use a different nutrient make sure it's made hydroponic systems, as outdoor fertilizers intended for soil don't typically have the same nutrients or the same ratios. I would also suggest using an ec and ph meter.
I use Fox Farms range of nutrients. The one aerogarden supplies is well balanced though and designed for ease of use.

I’m quite new too, this was actually much easier than anticipated. basically I just did this method. https://youtu.be/ngWil3np7-A only difference was I put some pieces of banana peel on top of the newspaper (potassium for the tomatoes) and I didn’t use all that worm casting bone whatever soil mix. the tricky part was taking the tomatoes out of the aerogarden, because they were fully grown and have been fruiting for weeks. I thought for sure I’d need to give the roots a haircut, but I actually managed to squeeze them through the hole without cutting them (so it can be done) then I had to cut off the plastic cone from around the root-stem bit by bit.
I planted mint and basil I got from a local nursery on top, because they make good companion plants for tomatoes according to the internet, and as Abraham Lincoln once said, “you can always trust everything you read on the internet.”
...May have been easier if I’d done it when they were younger, but basically I got tired of the tomatoes in the aerogarden, was itching for something new, but I didn’t wanna kill them just to switch garden production. I ’m working on strawberries now in one harvest, and waiting on bambino eggplant seeds for the other (I’m trying to push the limits of these machines)
Only indoor restrictions I would say is weight. Mines in a brick wall, so it’s sturdy, but if you try this inside without that, you’ll need to be sure to drill the hook into a stud at least (I’d think).
Here’s the hook and basket I used. The basket’s nice cause it has a hole right In the bottom middle. I’d recommend the 12” cause these 10” ones I’m using are a bit too small, and I’m repotting tomorrow into larger 12” ones. My hope is they will grow larger than they ever could in the aerogarden.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LG3SYCX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image (this is a 2 pack)
I also had to use a masonry drill bit, (brick wall) and the masonry screws were a bit too big for the hooks base, so I basically used my masonry drill bits, sequentially from smaller to larger, to make the hole a bit bigger until the screw fit... and I broke one of my bits :( . If you do have a brick wall (I dono who’ll see this in the future) you HAVE to be sure to drill into the MORTAR and NOT the brick itself. You WILL crack and destroy your brick, huge chunks will break off... very ugly... the previous tenants in this apartment apparently made that mistake.
not sure if it counts as DIY, but i've been using the General Hydroponics nutrients with no issues. It does mean that you will need to adjust the pH after you mix the nutrients. You dont have to do this with the miracle grow nutrients.
Yeah you could buy this:

Although at $30 per bulb it's rather expensive. Not sure if there's any cheaper alternatives though. I would definitely research it a bit.
BTW the item mentions 100340 model, but it's also compatible with 100629.

You can definitely use your own seeds and there is also no need to buy their expensive kit. There are much cheaper alternatives. Look at these links. baskets

AeroGarden makes a product called the AeroVoir...That keeps the water topped off by connecting to a water tank. Here it is:

Hmmm...Might want to try the Grow Light Boosters (or tin foil, which works just as well). EDIT: Your leaves need to be fairly close to the light, and since you're not using the trellis to keep the branches growing straight up and underneath the light, they're growing outwards where the light is probably too weak for the size of the plant.
Might also want to cut down the branches, or if possible, transfer the whole plant to its own pot/light/water set-up.
The product description is vague, but it doesn't look like there are any electrical parts.
Sure, you can use any telescoping type pole you can find as long as it's hollow. According to my Amazon history it was This Unit The only reason I used it was because I had it and had accidentally broken it.
Edit: It looks like the 24" models use this style system already. I wouldn't think miraclegro would spend the time and effort engineering something different just for them. This will most likely work just the same way, but I have no definitive proof/experience with them so try at your own risk.
The light scorching is probably due to root rot, the plant just kind of shuts down if its roots aren't working right.
The top part of the aerogarden is actually made of two pieces of plastic. Dead roots can get in-between the two pieces.
I don't think the instructions cover taking the top apart. there are little tabs on the underside that you kind of have to push in with a slotted screwdriver then pry the two pieces apart. I bet if you do that you'll find a bunch of rotten crud in there. I take the whole thing apart (including removing the water pump), wipe everything down with antibacterial wipes then run everything but the water pump through the dishwasher on "sanitize".
Beneficial bacteria (such as Hydroguard) will prevent problems. I can't recommend it enough, just add a bit with every water change. you can also use enzymes (such as Sensizym or the fertilizer Mega Crop) that will break down dead roots so they don't rot. You could also add a supplemental air pump to get more oxygen in the water.
also (sorry if this is obvious) make sure you completely cover any unused holes so that no light can get to the water reservoir.
