Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kikkerland Solar-Powered Double Rainbow Maker
Customer Review: My Cats LOVE it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Delightful rainbows dance around the room. My cats love to just watch or chase the rainbows as they flash by. When the sun appears they run to the window to watch the rainbows. It even provides entertainment while I am away from home since the rainbow maker starts by itself when the sun hits it.Customer Review: Nice entertaining touch to your abode
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these after seeing that one of my friends had a similar one in her apartment kitchen. I've stuck mine onto my apartment room window and it definitely makes my student apartment room much more colorful. Just a little cautionary sidenote: be careful about peeling the rainbow maker off of the window. When I pulled, the suction cup came off and I had to super glue it back on. It tends to be fragile so dont 'hard handle' it. Treat it like an egg or the plastic encasing will crack.
Update: Also make sure its stuck on the window good 'n tight. After I removed it once while cleaning my windows and re-stuck it, it fell off damaging the crystals on it. I used superglue to paste it back together and onto the metal hooks that hold the crystals but it has become a problem for me. It still makes nice rainbows though.
Customer Review: Not solar powered enough
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered the double crystal one to get more bang for the buck, but I do not think the solar power has enough bang. I would stick witht he single one, maybe it will turn better. Also, the crystals do not turn in one direction, they go back and forth, which I did not expect.Customer Review: Our #1 gift of 2009 - wonderful light show!
Summary: 5 Stars
This rainbow maker was hands-down the favorite gift of the year.
Solar powered gears turn the prisms for the best rainbow show anyone could possibly have in a dining room. The prisms are lovely even when they aren't turning. It does need direct sunlight on the panel to turn the gears and they only turn when the light is directly on them, there's no battery. The light show is so fantastic that I'm not sure I'd want it going on during all of the daylight hours.
My one fear was that it wouldn't work through triple insulated, low-e glass. It works just fine.
It's really neat to see the multi-colored gears turning through the clear housing.
We've had so many compliments on it, I'll be getting more in 2010 to use as gifts.
I highly recommend the Kikkerland rainbow maker to anyone with a sunny window.
Customer Review: Perfect!!!

Works great!!! Got it for my girlfriend who is in the hospital. She loves the rainbows circling the room! Better than flowers! It does require direct sunlight.
