4.0 out of 5 stars A big hit
Oh my gosh, my autistic son LOVES this top! It spins all by itself - no tricky pull-strings to get it going - and the lights & sounds are quite mesmerizing. It goes & goes, too - all on its own. Very fun. When my son burned it out from using it so much, I immediately bought another. One drawback - there doesn't seem to be a way to replace a battery, so when it runs...

2.0 out of 5 stars Cool but Flimsy
I bought this for my cousin. Age says 5+ but it broke while the father was playing with it, 5 minutes after opening it. Tried to superglue it back together but it throws it off balance. It was in the trash 10 minutes after opening the package.

I had purchased 2 of these at NASA in TX, and when the boys opened them on Christmas the girls got jealous, everyone loved this top. So I ordered more. I hope the company continues to make this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light up spinning top, December 31, 2009

My son really likes this top. It has both sounds and lights. I runs with three AAA batteries. The only problem I found is that the top half of the top or cap (the white part ) comes off easily. You have to hold the cap so that it builds up enough momentum to spin. I put some tape on the cap and now it stays on better now.

I love this top! Anyone who is a fan of bright colors and hypnotizing patterns should consider buying this. I carry it around in my back pack and take it everywhere I go. It is very durable. The only cons I can find are that it doesn't work well on carpet and there is not an option to turn off the sound. Besides those two things it is absolutely wonderful and I am proud to own it and show it off to all of my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Top!, August 5, 2011
This review is from: Gyroscopic Motorized Top (Misc.)
This is a fun top for kids. The lights and sounds are sure to provide them with tons of entertainment. Because it lights up it's fun to plat with in the dark too!

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice toy but breaks quickly, October 5, 2010
This review is from: Gyroscopic Motorized Top (Misc.)
This is a nice toy, but does not last long.
It worked fine until I changed the battery once,now the top and bottom parts do not stay together and thus don't spin properly

Unfortunately I never got to see how much fun this top can actually be because it broke within a minute of being out of the package. Once the pieces came apart, it became impossible to balance properly, and the lights did not create a pattern. My kid lost interest in it immediately. I love the idea of this toy, but was extremely disappointed with how quickly and easily it fell apart. Very poorly made.
