unaesthetic white seam

Finally, I selected a satellite image with a cloudy sphere and was immediately disappointed when I saw a horrible looking white line around the sphere, presumably where it joined the two halves of the image. This completely distracts from the idea of a mini earth spinning on my desk. Are they all like that? If no, where is the quality control?

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • unreliable

upset. on Geographic Globes

The globe is good but was sent in the original packaging with no outer shipping box or original packaging secured in any way (not even tape to seal - literally lift the lid and there is the globe). When it arrived it was clearly open and there was no stand in the box. So disappointing. I would expect such an expensive product to be treated with care.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Negative impressions

We love it! best in Geographic Globes

We bought this as a wedding present for my grandson and his fiancee as a sweet wedding present. They are world travelers and we are sure they will love it as much as we do. The wedding is only two months later and I'm not sure the box will last long enough. If someone comes, we have to dig them up and show them. The box is starting to look a bit "used" so I think we'll have to buy one ourselves. It rotates slowly and silently, as if by magic. I'm not tech savvy but I'm sure the younger ones…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Functionality

Great kinetic sculpture

I saw them on techmoan on youtube and while I'm definitely not the type to buy pretty jewelry this is basically what I wanted. I put it on my desk at work and almost everyone who walks in stops and asks me about my spinning globe and how it works. I usually tell them I have telekinesis and when I'm bored I use my mental powers to spin the globe. If they don't believe me, they usually think it has something to do with the base. I tell them to pick it up, hold it and watch it spin. No one…

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Brilliant idea, great implementation of the concept and just plain fun.

I gave 5 stars because it's a great idea, sophisticated technology and beautiful execution. I read on the company's website that this might not work in a multi-story building, but that wasn't true for me. I keep it near a window so there is plenty of light and clearance for the inner magnet to align with the earth's magnetic pole. If I had to be really picky, this particular globe could have slightly better color control. Most won't notice, but the print has too much green and not enough wind…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Poor instructions

A unique and stylish home accent to add to any display

This is a very cool addition to add as an accent to your home or office. I like how the globe rotates in our window. This has been the focus of discussion several times when we have guests. The stand holding the globe is pretty darn strong and was easy to put together. As some reviews say, the globe is actually a bit bigger than you might expect. The globe is heavier than I initially thought. It takes a decent amount of light to make the globe rotate. In other words, the area where you place…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • So-so
