Content: Like the other customer who reviewed this item, I bought this toy on a whim. I had not seen any advertising for it, but it looked interesting.
I bought batteries and as soon as I got home installed them.
I turned it on, and I'm almost ashamed to say I then spent the most fascinated hour and a half of my adult life in the dark, playing.
Someone needs a life, huh?
Anyway, I got my husband hooked on the toy, too. He went out and bought an adapter for it (it sucks up batteries).
I strongly urge anyone who is easily amused with shiny items and pretty lights (almost everyone I know!) to go out and get one.
I've reccommended this item to many friends, and all have loved it.

Content: I bought this toy on a whim since it seems so good in advertisements (actually I bought it at the local Spencers since it was the cheapest place I could find it - even cheaper than online discount stores). The toy is bigger than I thought it would be, that's the biggest complaint about it.
Doesn't contain any batteries or adaptor, so you're going to have to buy batteries for it. I did notice a 6V adaptor plug for it on the bottom though - not sure if it works since I haven't tried it.
Seems like there are several screen savers on the windows programs that are about as exciting as this toy (and probably free too), so not sure if I can really recommend this toy if you have a computer and an internet connection.
The string action is okay, the string frequently hits the black bars, and the light projection projects lights up to the ceiling, lighting up the room a little bit. Sometimes you can get really neat patterns and it can even possibly teach you some things about frequency, light, etc...
Despite it's fun and the fact that I'm giving it 4 stars, I can't really recommend this item because of the fact that you can get screensavers that are about as fun as this - unless you've seen this in person and really want it.
Summary: okay toy, some caviets...
