Product Description

Product Description

Galileo's Place introduces the Gravitator! This unique, eye-catching model depicts celestial gravitation and comes complete with four spheres, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the Moon. Just place the planet of your choice directly below the gravitational source and watch it float and spin in mid-air. The Gravitator glows beautifully in the dark, creating a radiant nighttime conversation piece or a handsome nightlight, while the Antique Gold frame will embellish any desk, table or bookcase.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointment, January 1, 2008
Would not work, right out of the box. The company's service URL doesn't work, emails bounce, and their web domains (.com, .org) are no longer active. I'd be embarrassed to offer this item in a garage sale.

1.0 out of 5 stars Galileo, December 31, 2007
This is a poor quality product - expected more detail in its colors and the way it operates - its a bad gimmick and nothing more!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Money, February 3, 2008
I bought this for my husband for Christmas and we are both very disappointed. The planets don't easily suspend and instead readily snap magnetically to the top, and it makes an annoying humming sound. I wouldn't mind how poorly it's made except that it's pricey --- the value is simply not there for the expense.

I got this item today and I've been playing with it for hours and I have yet to make the planets float. I would not recommend this item to anyone.
