i have given this as a gift more than once, and every time the receiver has been delighted
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
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.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
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.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
This solar rainbow maker is just lovely. It does need full direct sunlight vs. just some sunlight, but when it starts spinning and showing rainbows all over my kitchen and living room, it's just beautiful.

Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
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.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
We have had 2 Rainbow makers over the years. Our teen age grandaugher loves hers.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
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:
My cats and I enjoy watching the dancing angels when the sun is out..It is the best gift I have ever purchased for myself.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I bought the Solar Rainbor Makers as Christmas gifts. One works great but, the other one will not keep working. I put them side by side to make sure they worked. One works great and is beautiful but, I'm not happy with the second one.I would like to get it replaced if possible.Thank you for asking my opinion,Regards,Pat Wood

I place the solar rainbow on the inside of the front foyer. The rainbows circulate around the living, dining, and family rooms. The colors soothe my soul and is very calming.

I have given this to two teenage girls on separate occassions as gifts. I told them I wanted them to have their own rainbow where ever they went in life. Both loved the gift.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
A perfect little gift for all with a sunny window!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
one of a kind, brought smiles from recipients
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
This was a gift so I haven't seen this in action yet.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
My wife loved it and I will probably have to have one myself. We collect Swarovski crystals and this one is of same high quality. I was skeptical of the the quality of the solar powered mechanism but it works great. Definitely draws attention!
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:
Everyone can benefit from a little beauty and magic in their lives - this gift provides both for all ages.

Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
Put it in my kitchen window and watched the show begin. The colors danced across the walls and ceiling! Even my cat is entertained and watches it for hours. Contrary to what others have said I have had no problems getting enough sun for it to work and the window has it's screen in and it performs perfectly. It's a fun, must have!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
when the sun shines, it's beautiful...rainbows...
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
Anyone would love this amazing item! I mean who wouldn't be instantly happy having rainbows dance around the room. I can't tell you how many compliments I get on it and a ton of people said they are going to order one right away after seeing mine. It's a truly lovely gift for an adult or child.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I have the rainbow maker on my kitchen window. Every morning my kitchen and great room are filled with rainbows. The colors are bold and beautiful. Definitely a pot of gold at the end of the rainbows.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I received one of these as a gift a dozen years ago and when its gears finally stopped working I was relieved to see one available at Gardener's Supply. The dancing rainbows in my kitchen keep me happy- so I bought one for a friend as well as a new one for myself.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I had purchased one of these years ago and it finally stopped working. When I saw this on your website, had to order for my "kids". They add beautiful lights to any room and the cats love to chase the sparkles as they glide across the floor.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
For fun!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
My Mom sent this to me over a year ago. I've had RAINBOWS on my walls & ceiling ever since reminding me of her throughout the day.

Have had one for years..in fact this is my second one! I just ordered two more for gifts...one for my 6 month old granddaughter's room...she will love looking at the rainbows!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
This is the most beautiful thing. I love to sit in the kitchen and watch the patterns on the wall after a long day at work. It's very relaxing.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I gave this to 3 people as gifts this year and they were all very pleased with them. The only problem I have is figuring out something this unique and affordable to give as gifts next year!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
Put this anywhere the sun shines, all year long. Mine is in the kitchen; daughter's is in her bedroom and the prism light shines as far as it can reach in the room. What a wonderful little item that will last for years bringing "light" to someone that appreciates it.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I use it as a window ornament. It creates beautiful rainbows inside.

Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
One of the most unique and fun gifts to give (and get!) -- well priced, runs great, and uses no batteries. Let's see more of these terrific solar powered items for the outdoor/indoor gardener!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I have it in a sunroom but since it has no battery for storing power, unless it is in direct sunlight, it will not spin. And when it spins, it is super slow. I'm not that impressed.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
Brightens the room when activated by the sun!
Makes cats and dogs a little crazy as they try and chase the reflections.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
We gave this to our 5 year old grandson for Christmas who told us "I have never seen a rainbow in my entire life". Now his world is full of rainbows. He loves it and is learning how it works.

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.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
GREAT ITEM!!! It was given as a gift and we received the "WOW factor" appreciation award.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
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:
It is a grat gift for people on my list who have Kids and for the nature minded as well.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
This was a Christmas gift for a little girl that loves rainbows. Her Mother placed it in the kitchen window. When the sun hit it on Christmas morning, the whole room came alive with rainbows. The little girl squeeled with delight.
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.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
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:
For fun
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
We love it....great conversation piece. Fun to have.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I love mine - Simple to use and fun to watch the gears in action. I put it in my most sunny window and get hours of dancing prisms! My 3 year old niece said, "It's amazing".
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:

Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
A round crystal would throw out more rainbows, but this one is still nice. I'd like one for every sunny window in my house.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
nice light show to chase the winter blahs
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:

wished it was a litte bigger with extra crystals
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.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
My twin grand babies love this! "Nana's rainbows" fill the room and they think I am magic. What more could I ask for?
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I have the rainbow maker in my living room next to my computer desk. Can't wait for the sun to come up to see the beautiful colors on my walls.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I switch it around from my kitchen window which gets the morning sun to the living room for the afternoon-so we get random sparkles & glimmers all day! The cat and dogs are fascinated. It's just one of those little things that make us all smile, and what can be better than that?!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
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.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
Perfect for our little girl's nursery.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
My Mom sent this to us and I think of her throughout the day as the rainbox glitters around the rooms!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I placed the rainbow maker where I get the morning sun. Every sunny morning I am treated to at least an hour of fun and beautiful rainbows!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
This brings a warm delight to my heart every time that I see the rainbow that reflects across my kitchen. My dog enjoys chasing the rainbows so it provides him indoor exercise.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I gave this as a gift but also have one of my own. I move it to different windows to catch the sun.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
Got this to try to keep birds from hitting our windows. I'd say the only con is that it runs only when the sun is shining directly on it--in our case that means late afternoon. Otherwise, it's fun... and our cats enjoy it too!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I provide day care for children in my home and use the rainbow maker in my kitchen so the kids can watch the rainbows dance around the room. We really enjoy this product and have had some discussions that hopefully have been educational.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
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.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
Our preschool age grandchild loves her rainbow maker. It is attached to a glass patio door and spreads glorious color over the family room and kitchen every morning. She enjoys eating her breakfast over the rainbow!
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
A cheerful rainbow of colors amuses young and old.

Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I bought this for my kids as a Christmas present. We homeschool and have used this as a learning tool as well as something fascinating and beautiful. Everyone loves to see the rainbows swirling across the kitchen floor midday! My only complaints are that the suction cup sometimes drops ( the rainbow maker still works) and it can't be used in low E windows.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
never know where the light will show----drives the cat crazy
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I have it in the sunniest window but rarely see a rainbow or see the unit move. I had expected more to entertain the kids and cat. Wouldn't recommend to anyone else. At best it is a conversation starter.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I ordered two of these, The one was great no problem. My grandson loved it, he hangs it in his window. The second one never worked right from the beginning. My granddaught just shares her brother's. His is the one that actually works, her didn't.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
This prism really works when placed in a sunny window. The effect is perfect if you enjoy bright sparkling shining things.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
Sought a gift for a family friend in a nursing home. Had to be something that didn't require ongoing care. This was a great solution.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
It's fantastic! I have it in my kitchen window and it casts rainbows all over the kitchen and livingroom. It's a beautiful display of colors. I have given this as a gift to many lucky friends and they all love it too.
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I love the idea, but it didn't seem to want to work the way it should. When it DID work, it was beautiful.

Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
I look forward to sun shinning in my room and then the rainbows flowing across my walls
Comments about Solar Rainbow Maker:
If you want to add more joy to a sunny day, hang the rainbow maker in your window. Little rainbows of color dance around your room that can't help but bring a smile to your face. If you have a cat or a dog, they enjoy chasing the rainbows across the floor.
