2.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE: NOT 7" IN DIAMETER; IT'S 7 INCHES TALL!, December 21, 2009

This review is from: 7" Plasma Ball (Toy)

The product description says this is a 7" ball. This would lead one to believe that the ball itself is 7" in diameter. However, the ball is only about half that size and the entire unit, base included, is 7" tall - much smaller than I was expecting. The description is misleading and I'm quite disappointed as this was purchased as a Christmas gift and it's too late for me to return it. Even the product packaging looked like it had been opened already. I have purchased countless products through Amazon and have always been satisfied except for this time. Please, at least change the description so others are not misled. What a letdown!

This review is from: 7" Plasma Ball (Toy)

This toy, when it works, is very nice. The colors are vibrant - gorgeous, even.
However, the quality is quite shoddy. My on/off button is very finicky. I have to toggle it to the exact right location to get it to stay on, which is somewhere between "on" and "off". Sometimes if it moves out of this exact position, it just shuts off on its own.
I'm disappointed, but it was only $[...], so, I can't complain much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still awesome, January 19, 2007

This review is from: 7" Plasma Ball (Toy)

It's about 7 years ago I bought a plasma ball like this. Today it is about 1/5 of the price, but it still has that "oooh" effect on people - much more so than any other sub-$[..] item you'll find. The ability to respond to sound adds to the coolness factor, but on this particular model you cannot adjust the sensitivity as is common on others: Too quiet and it's off all the time; too loud and it is on all the time. Hence only 4 stars.
