1.0 out of 5 stars Never Works, May 21, 2009

Natalie Kilpatrick (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Floating Desktop Globe

Well, never works is a lie. After we let the cardboard calibrator sit on the globe for 15 minutes and removed it (oh so carefully) we got the globe to levitate, for about 2 minutes before quickly snapping back to the top magnet.

It appears that if your house moves whatsoever from people walking or isn't completely level this globe will not work.

And to boot (because they know that they're going to get Tech Support calls) there is no way to phone or e-mail the company for assistance.

At first it was hard to get the globe to hover there but once you mastered it, it was easy from there on.. a great conversation piece!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Stellanove globe, January 27, 2010

ROBERT (Abilene, TX) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Floating Desktop Globe

This product was not as difficult to use as some of the reviews said. All you have to do is use the cardboard template to start the globe levitating. My wife even did it without the template on her first try. Overall it is a very interesting peice, guaranteed to elicit questions and comments at the office or from friends.
