Rachel Whitcombe –
Bought this for my 9-year-old who is obsessed with anything science-y, and he spent a good twenty minutes just watching the little coloured bulbs bob about. He’s now insisting on checking the room temperature every morning before school and announcing it at breakfast. It sits on his bookshelf looking rather smart, and the glass feels properly solid. Chuffed with it.

Got this for my grandson’s birthday. His face lit up when he saw the bubbles floating. Lovely little thing.

i’ve always wondered how these work so I read up before buying. The liquid changes density as the temperature shifts, so the bulbs rise and sink one by one, and you read the lowest floating one. Seeing it happen on my desk as the heating kicks in is oddly satisfying. Arrived well wrapped, no breakages, and the metal tags look lovely against the light.

Ordered from here again, as usual, and the postie dropped it round within a couple of days. Cracking little ornament and a good talking point when friends pop over. Only slight niggle is that the bulbs take a while to settle after you move it, but that’s just how these things are.

Sent to my granddaughter for her new flat. She rang me specially to say thank you, and I could hear her smiling. Spot on.
Margaret Hughes –
Got this for my grandson’s birthday and he was chuffed to bits! The colours caught his eye straight away and he’s fascinated by how it works. Lovely addition to his room and keeps him curious about science.

Quirky little gadget this. Spot on for going on my desk. Love watching the colourful bulbs move with the temperature change, quite mesmerising really. Stylish touch with a bit of educational value thrown in.
