 A Very Cool Science Toy November 18, 2008
I'm not sure what some of the reviewers here are doing wrong, but I had no problems whatsoever with this. It took a small amount of effort to position the planet just right between the magnets so that it would float, but once you master that it works exactly as advertised. I like the Saturn globe best. It hovers in mid-air like magic as it slowly spins.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and we are both very disappointed. The planets don't easily suspend and instead readily snap magnetically to the top, and it makes an annoying humming sound. I wouldn't mind how poorly it's made except that it's pricey --- the value is simply not there for the expense.

I got this item today and I've been playing with it for hours and I have yet to make the planets float. I would not recommend this item to anyone.

Would not work, right out of the box. The company's service URL doesn't work, emails bounce, and their web domains (.com, .org) are no longer active. I'd be embarrassed to offer this item in a garage sale.

This is a poor quality product - expected more detail in its colors and the way it operates - its a bad gimmick and nothing more!!!
