Happy with this item

A very pretty gyroscope! I bought this for my children and, while it's a little fiddly to wrap and pull the string, it works well and looks great doing it. The ring-pull makes it easier and it's fine once you've got the hang of it, but I think smaller children would struggle a bit. The stand, however, is shorter than the diameter of the gyroscope, so we couldn't use it to demonstrate the gyroscope balanced horizontally off it; it just rests on the table/surface instead. It's obviously fine for balancing vertically on top, but if the little stand were a bit taller that would be perfect!

Perfect scientific toy, to teach a four year old about inertia ballance and centrifugal force..!!!!, now where’s the section for newtons cradles.?!😂😂😂

Good but very over priced for what it is

The rotating disk spindle is bearing area is just a thin bit of wire that sits in the bearing cup at each end. Its a very sloppy fit, a basic design flaw, and is so badly out of balance it makes a loud buzzing noise with horrible vibration for the few seconds it actually spins. There seem to be a lot of similar items for sale, and I have now tried one of each model , with the circular frame (this one), and the inward curving frame style. If you want a pleasing toy, steer clear of this one or the many like it if you don't want disappointment. I have Prime, so return was easy and cost me nothing, which is great. I have spent a lot of time researching these toys, lots of them out there at wildly different prices, but they all seem to be from the same source. If you want one for a gift, buy it and try it before disappointing the recipient. At least with Amazon you can return free, and get rapid credit on your account.

Son loved it string it’s not great keeps breaking its very weak but great product

As A child, I had a Gyroscope bought for me by an uncle. I spent hours with it experimenting with the different angles etc. By comparison this is cheap and nasty, it looks okay and that is where my praise ends! It is very light in weight, including the flywheel, therefore it will barley last 15 seconds before it falls off the stand, it will not perform any movements beyond upright and it vibrates on the stand which adds to the short spin cycle. I bought it for a nephew as a stocking filler hoping it would peak his interest in science, but his interest lasted little beyond 15 minutes. Avoid!

Fantastic quality and very weighty! Looks very pretty and classy on a desk. It's tricky to get the skill to spin it and I expected the middle part to rotate in a diagonal direction which it doesn't but other than that I'm happy with it, especially how good the quality is.

Un juguete my interesante e instructivo, buen hecho y que funciona bien

FANTASTICO

I had lots of fun and I could believe the angles that this gyro can keep for many seconds withou falling. Sadly the falls will eventually occur when the gyro slows down. And in spite it is from metal it will eventually break. The rope breaks first, and it is not easy to get a similar one, so i think there should be one or two spare ropes added.

The principal axis rod provided for spinning was quite strong, and it spins smoothly on the axis with very less friction. Therefore, it spins stably for a longer time period. If the hole meant for the insertion of the thread is given little below, ie very near to the spinning wheel, then the spin time would increase much further

Not accurately assembled hence vibrates when spinning high rpms
