| I purchased this lava lamp as a gift for my boyfriend, who had always wanted one. I read many reviews and this seemed to be the highest rated one. It has a really nice great glow to it. It works very well. |
Is it luck to get one that works?

| Got the unit and the bulb was broken. No big deal as things like that can happen. Once a new bulb was put in, the lamp worked for about 3-4 hours and then the "lava" turned to a ball on the bottom and did nothing else...just stayed there. Tried it the next day and after about 3 hours the heat did form a ball of lava but the ball just stayed on the bottom never floating to the top or even half way to the top. I did leave it on for 8 hours with no change. I checked the heating screen on the bottom and changed bulbs again all of which was no help. I have heard that many lava lamps do not work while just as many do work. Other reviewers say this lamp is great...maybe it's just a luck thing and my day wasn't lucky. However someone did suggested it would be good paper weight with a light. |

| The lava lamp I received would not flow. Happily, customer service sent out another lamp to resolve the issue. Unforunately, not only did this second lamp arrive cloudy but it would not flow either. Lava just sat at bottom in a lump. Customer service refunded my money but now i have two non-working lamps. All in all, bad lamps- great customer service, |

Mine did nothing when I first got it. The blue blob just sat at the bottom of the bottle. I shook it once and turned the light off for an hour. After an hour - I switched it back on again and was rewarded with the COOLEST show of liquid motion ever! At first the wax stretched towards the top of the glass and after two hours...the neat little balls started forming.
I am hooked on this little relaxation device now. I could stare at those globules stretching, twisting, balling-up and colliding with each other ALL DAY now! Its really more soothing than a fish tank, and works PERFECT with relaxing music. It is a great conversation piece and therapeutic...all wrapped up in one cool, retro looking lamp!
I suggest hooking a timer to it and scheduling it to work while you sleep. The lamp seems to work much better when it cycles between OFF/ON periodically. The lamp MUST cool down every 6-8 hours...or else you'll see nothing but a lazy, round blob sitting at the bottom of the glass. Don't buy it for the illumination...get it because it definitely will UNSTRESS YOU. |

| This item was poorly packaged and therefore was damage upon delivery. I was very dissapointed with this shipment. Consequently, my rating of it was a zero. I hope in the future more care will be taking in packaging the items. |
Do your homework

| Our first lamp from this company did not work, it just sat as a blob in the bottom. However, the company, Lamps Plus sent a new one that works great. You MUST put these lamps on a timer or they will over-heat or not be warmed up in time for bed. My 8 year loves his lamp in his room as he goes to sleep. |
very cool
