QLKUNLA Gyroscope Toy Metal Anti Gravity Rotating Desk Gyroscope Flying Motion Balance Physics Toy Educational Training Gift

Works great, just like you’d wanted to. So wonderful to see the wonder of Newton‘s 1st law in the eyes of a child for the first time. Also like the storage box it came in. Keeps it nice and clearly identifies what it is

Flashback of nostalgia. Love this little toy. It can be tricky to get the hang of it but once you do its lots of fun. Quality materials and durable as it bounces around and spins. Happy with purchase

My son requested a colorful gyroscope for Christmas, so we got him this one. He enjoys playing with it and seeing all the cool ways it can spin (even on the tip of a pencil!). I appreciate the heaviness of the metal, it feels substantial and not cheap. The only complaint he has is he wishes there were some easier way to spin it, instead of winding all the string around the axis...it takes some practice to get it to spin just right. Other than that, he loves it.

Not well balanced, poor quality

Cool little toy. My son loves it but not the easiest to keep spinning for a long time. Seems a little rough. But not a bad price.

I still have a gyroscope from my youth but the stand is gone. I saw this and thought it would be a great toy for my grandchildren. It looks identical to the one have except the rainbow color, and works great. A great toy to introduce children to physics too.

The gyroscope is small and light weight, which are not desirable qualities for a toy meant to spin as long as possible from the inertia of the spinning components. The components should be bulkier and manufactured with a higher degree of precision. The string is difficult to pass through the hole in the spindle due to the small size of the hole and fraying of the string provided after a few uses.

I bought this metal gyroscope toy for my son, and now it’s like we have a tiny spinning planet right on our kitchen table. He’s been mesmerized watching it go round and round, I swear it’s hypnotizing enough to make chores disappear (at least for a few minutes). Warning: Side effects include random science lessons, dizzy parents trying to spin it too fast, and a sudden urge to find out if it can defy gravity (spoiler: it can’t, but the fun is in trying). If you want to entertain your kid and maybe learn a bit about physics yourself, this little spinner is a winner.

I've just received this fancy spinning top, and let me tell you, it's like we've entered a time warp back to the days of simple, yet mesmerizing fun. My two boys, who usually treat toys like they're in a demolition derby, have found their zen with this contraption. First off, setting it up is as easy as pie - if pie meant pulling a string and watching magic happen. You yank that string, place this bad boy on its base, and voila! You've got yourself a spinning spectacle. The fun factor? It's like watching a mini tornado in your living room, except without the cleanup. My kids have turned this into a full-blown competition, trying to see who can keep it spinning the longest before it decides to take a dramatic dive off the base. The build quality is surprisingly sturdy; I half expected it to disintegrate under my boys' enthusiasm, but nope, it's holding up like a champ. The only downside is that once you start, you'll find yourself getting hypnotized by the spin, possibly forgetting about responsibilities like, oh, I don't know, dinner or bedtime. Now, a word of caution: this top might just be the calm before the storm. Once the spinning stops, expect your kids to demand an encore performance. And another. And another. 5 stars for simplicity, entertainment, and that satisfying 'whoosh' sound as it spins. 0 stars for my ability to get any work done while it's in action. Would buy again, if only to see how long my kids can stare at a spinning object in awe.

The more I sit with my son and play with this - it was a gift for him - the more I am convinced this probably cost no more than a few dollars to create. It looks great, and it works as a gyroscope should, and he likes it. But ... it was $30! For that money, I'd probably have appreciated some tighter tolerances. The gyroscope vibrates quite a bit due to the play between the axis the rotating mass is attached to and the shaft it spins on. I know bushings wouldn't work as it would create too much drag. And it's probably too small for bearings of any kind - may needle? But in the absence of all those things to make up for the play, I guess I'd just expect a lower price closer to what I'm guessing is its pretty low production cost.
