The Kid liked it
He said it was the best on he got for the price, kept him entertained for a couple of days.

Fun product
Fun and interesting to play with had a lot of fun seeing how fast I could get it spinning

OK for price
This gyroscope does not seem to work quite as well as the one I was given when a child but it has been sufficient to illustrate gyroscopic principles to an 8 yr old.

perfect for boys
I bought it for my six yo nephew, and he loves it

WARNING: LEAD PAINT
WARNING: LEAD PAINTDo not buy this product for your children, they use lead paint. Red on the test swab means lead is present.

Ok but seems cheep
It works somewhat okay, but the quality feels cheap and unfinished, like it wasn't tested properly.

Works as expected.
Although the gyroscope isn't perfectly balanced (vibrates on its axis quite a bit), it's still able to perform all the stunts as seen in the videos. This includes the gravity-defying "hovering" trick where it levitates sideways. Granted, it takes a little practice to get it working right - it works best if you stand it straight up first and "nudge" it sideways. I have found this technique will always work.Getting it to balance on the other hand was tricky, and I was unable to balance it on my finger or any other odd, non-flat surface besides the included stand.

Great for all ages
My Dad is in his 70's and a still active Engineer. He got one of these a couple of months ago and started playing with it while explaining all the physics behind it and the principles applications... he has us all agape. He got into taking the gyroscope with him to work, and he's been "teaching" young engineers with it. Now I'm getting him a precision gyroscope. This is one of those perfect toys that can teach so much in such a simple way, but if you really want to get all the awesomeness, you need to go and check your basic physics first!
