Completely pointless, but great fun. I love it.
This really is a marmite product - you'll either love it or look confused and wonder why it even exists.Just for the record I love and so does my son.Its best to get this little sucka spinning on one of those small circular bathroom mirrors - and rather than using the straw provided use a cheap bendy drinking straw to blow it up to speed.It starts to sound like a rocket engine as you build the speed up and I can believe that 12,000rpm is possible as this thing goes like the clappers.The added LED light that comes with it creates little circles of light that dance around each other.Keep blowing it, keep it spinning - completely pointless, but great fun.

Too small and fiddly.
Not really impressed with this item.It was fiddly, took a lot of effort and eventually ended up under the washing machine where it can stay.

Fascinating.
Fascinating to watch it spin. Seems to want to go on indefinitely. Difficult to use the straw to get it to spin faster, but i love the sound it makes as it revs up to speed when you do manage to get it to spin faster. There is a knack to it. Comes with a nice little led light to give it a touch of glamour as it spins. Best suited on glass or a mirror. Shame the delivery driver was a miserable sap.

Wish I had read reviews!
What a waste of money! Bought this for our Tornado mad little boy as a present for being brave and it is a complete disappointment. It is such a waste of time I can't bear to give it to him! It spins for a few seconds and the lights don't even work. Poor show!

It works but it's pointless
It works but it kept the kids occupied for about a minute. I supposedly saved £1.99 but I think £6 is to much for this.

Good fun
I luckily have eulers disc and that has a mirror which I can use to spin them on although a larger mirror would be better. The supplied torch, which changes gently through different colours, is good to shine on the balls making a show that kids and adults alike will love. I am having trouble using the supplied straw to get them to spin faster, I suspect there is a knack to it and I just need to try more.

Don't really see the point!
Bought as a Christmas stocking filler for my daughter. Tried it out and couldn't get it to spin for very long at all. Key fob style light didn't seem to do much either. Well made though. Overall not really impressed. She'll probably spend 5 minutes trying to use it then it'll be forgotten.

Fast shipping and excellent packaging. The Leatherman tool feels very premium and sturdy.
