What a brilliant device! My son was so chuffed, his eyes absolutely lit up when he saw the vanes spinning. It’s marvellous how just a bit of light gets it going. Easily becomes the centrepiece on his desk. A win for us!

my granddaughter hasn’t stopped smiling since she got it. we watched it spin together the whole afternoon. such simple joy, really.
Liam Baker –
It’s a lovely piece to look at, but the packaging was a bit underwhelming, truth be told. Thought it would come in a more presentable box since it was meant to be a gift. Does spin nicely though!
Amy Turner –
Absolutely fabulous! The radiometer is not only a clever gadget but also a stylish decorative item. Love how it reacts to the warmth of my palm. Fast delivery too! Couldn’t be happier.
Mark Pearson –
Lovin’ the radiometer, mate. Comes in cracking colours and looks mint in the lounge. Only small thing is that it’s a touch smaller than I thought, but nothing to moan about.
Sophia Collins –
Ordered this charming piece for my living room. It’s a conversation starter for sure. If I had to nitpick, would’ve liked to see more colour options, but still a corker.
Margaret Whitlock –
bought this for my grandson’s 9th birthday and he hasn’t put it down. He kept cupping his hands round it to make the vanes spin, then dragged his mum over to have a go. Pride of place on his bedroom shelf now, chuffed to bits.
Daniel Reeves –
Spot on. Sits on my desk and the vanes whirl round as soon as the sun hits it.
