I wasn't really sure what to expect when I purchased this, other than it looked really cool and might be a good way to teach my child about places on the globe. When we first opened it, it was much smaller than I expected, but that was just poor reading on my part. The globe portion is only about 3in around, so it's a little hard to see everything, but I can use a map online or another source to supplement. To get it started, just plug the the "c" shaped holder. Now, there's a sort of sweet spot you have to find to get the globe to levitate. Once it does, you can spin the globe, just watch it, or play with it. This would be a great in an office setting or for more mature kids. It's really awesome, but a lot of jumping on action around it makes it click up to the magnet at the top. I highly recommend this! It had all the adults at Christmas playing with it. Lol!
Gave this as a gift to my son who is a H.S. teacher. It is quite the conversation piece and leads to all kinds of relevant discussions. Geography, Magnetics, Forces etc. as well as being cool to just look at.
Its at my office desk and everyone has asked me about the globe and it stands out.
Got it for a gift for my son for Christmas, he loves it. It is really fascinating how it levitates. I walk bye and spin it constantly. Great gift, thanks
My son got this for Christmas and loves it! My other son wants one so I am going to get another one for his desk. Thank you so much!

It's difficult the first time to get it to levitate but be patient. I like it a lot, it doesn't rotate or anything like that, it just sits there and levitates. Interesting.
I bought this as a gift on my own, without any discount. a great gift for an office or desk. Look on this globe as you might look at a Rubik's cube. It has decorative value but also getting it to balance just right between the electrical base and the magnet is like trying to solve a puzzle. You have to learn how to do it and it does take practice. It's unfortunate that sometimes people think its' defective if they can't get it to work right away. Half the fun of having it is the challenge of getting it to work right the first or second time. I didn't get to keep this one because it was a gift, but I Know I will buy at least one more as Christmas gift, and I had fun with it so I will probably get one for myself too.
Very cool. Got a lot of responses from friends. Definitely worth the price and I recommend it.
Husband loves it. Perfect size for a desk.
This was a wonderful gift, so unusual. I would buy it again.
