    I gave this to a friend to brighten her day. She has said she didn't know what to expect, but she is delighted with it. Every few minutes, the prism turns and tiny rainbows move around the room. A fun and unusual gift.

    Purchased one for my 6 y/o granddaughter and 80 y/o mother. Couldn't resist getting one for myself. It is cheery on "sunny" winter days. It didn't occur to me that the "rainbows dancing around the room" would be miniture rainbows. I'm glad I have it.

    I purchased this as a gift for my mother who loves Swarovski crystal and rainbow makers. Little did I know that she would be gushing about this gift to everyone. She loved that it also has visible, colored mechanical gears. Though she had asked me not to get her a Christmas gift, she forgave me when she received this, as she absolutely loved it.

    Unique item. Nice in the sunroom. It was a gift for my wife and she loves it.
    The only thing I would have liked to see different would be more facets on the crystal. It propels dots of sunlight throughout the room, more facets would bring more dots of sunlight.

    Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:

    Our grandchildren love the rainbow maker. I ordered one for each family for Christmas. It works best to place it in a window that gets the most sun during the day. The first one we had hung on a plastic loop on a small stand, no suction cup. After a year and a half it stopped working. We loved it and ordered a new one. The first one was a gift.

    Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:

    I had purchased three of these previously. One I kept for myself and put it in the dining room in a southwest window. The other two I gave as gifts. When I saw these in your catalog I was intrigued because they were [$] cheaper than I had ever seen before. Since I loved them so much I bought two more to keep to give as gifts.Suggestion: the rainbow crystal must be put in a window with an exposure that will capture sunlight or it won't work. Also it works best in a room that is not vaulted. In a room with a very tall ceiling the rainbow tends to be less intense. It's most impressive in a room with normal height ceilings. It is quite lovely and casts it's rainbow althrough our dining room and on into the kitchen.

    Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:

    The solar rainbow maker is hanging in my in-laws living room. It was a gift for them. They have many crystals hanging in their windows - they enjoy the prisms. When they opened the solar rainbow maker Christmas morning - present opening ceased until I hung the rainbow maker to my bay window for everyone to see it work. The gears started up immediately and prisms filled my living room ceiling - a HUGE hit!

    Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:

    I got one for Christmas last year and this year bought one for my nephew.To see rainbows floating around my kitchen every morning is so wonderful. The cats love it too. I'd like to send everyone this neat little rainbow maker!! My only complaint is the connection on the prism is weak and requires frequent checks to make sure it is completely closed. If not the prism falls off, and hopefully will not end up end the garbage disposal as mine did.

    There is no battery, so during the day only when it is in direct sunlight does it actually spin. Then it spins very very slowly. When it isn't in absolutely straight on direct sunlight, it doesn't spin at all.

    Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:

    I have used this item as a gift three times now and I always get a pleasant response from the recipient. In fact, some recipients have contacted me to find out where they can purchase one for a gift that they need to give.

    I like it because it teaches children (and maybe some adults) how the power of solar works and things that it can be used to generate.

    Secondly, I like the fact that "the rainbow" is generally a symbol of happiness, good times, good luck, nature at work, etc.

    Children especially like this item and it is something that can be shared by the entire family.

    When I was little and my cat died, my grandmother bought me a prism to hang in my window, and told me that everytime I see a rainbow someone we love in heaven can see us. So a few years ago when I first saw these in your catalog I bought a couple. I've been sending them to people that I know along with the story of my cat, when someone they love passes away. Everyone just loves them!

    Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:

    When we were growing up, our mom always had prisms hanging in the windows. These prisms flooded the house with rainbows at different times of the day as the sun moved from window to window. When I saw the Rainbow Maker a few years ago, I just had to get one for Mom (and one for me, too). When my sisters saw it, they actually groaned and complained that they wanted one, too, so I got one for each of them the next Christmas. We all love our Rainbow Makers. This past spring, Mom mentioned that she had another window that would be perfect for a Rainbow Maker, so I gave her another one for Christmas this year. She was elated! (I gave it to her when I saw her over Thanksgiving.) The Rainbow Maker works best in full sun, so put it in a south facing window and you'll have rainbows all winter long. Try to put it in a window that you don't open very often, because if you open the window and hit it, you can pop the suction cup off the window taking a chance of breaking the Rainbow Maker when it falls to the floor. Otherwise, the suction cup holds it to the window very securely. The Rainbow Maker can't help but brighten your day as the rainbows dance around your house.

    We have the rainbow maker in our kitchen eat-in-space where the sun comes up in the morning. It is great to see the "rainbows" dance around the walls and ceiling. We added the string suspension in addition to the suction cup. Our daughter had one and when the suction cup let go the rainbow maker was damaged.

    The rainbow maker is so neat. I have given several of them as gifts and I purchased one for myself as well. The rainbows that are shown around the room when the sun shines in are beautiful. The maker will only work when the sun is shining directly on the window but I would rather that it only work for a short time rather than all day when I may get tired of it.
