Sharper Image Laser Stars Light Show

This is a horrible product. It did nothing is said it could do. My ceiling looked like a bunch of bugs running across it. Look at the homestar planetarium or uncle milton... a great product that I recently bought after I returned this product!! MILLION TIMES BETTER and CHEAPER!!!

I purchased mine from Sharper Image. Each unit sat untouched on the dresser and were not handled aside from off/on switch. Both the first unit and replacement unit broke within 2-3 weeks. Fan becomes loud and have to knock on it to quite it down until it eventually just stays in a loud whirring mode. Second unit began loud whirring and green laser/stars stopped functioning altogether (even with the love tap). I have opted not to take my chances again! It WAS beautiful, though...daughter loved it at bedtime, you could stare at it for hours and never quite see the same pattern. Very dreamy! With such a VERY poor track record, I don't recommend it! The store even gave me grief about returning the second unit past 60 days since it "goes by the date of the first purchase, not the replacement swap." They gave in when I pointed out the absurdity of that logic, but still, a lot of grief for a lot of money!

Sharper Image Laser Stars Light Show (HP800)Having just purchased this, and reading the reviews as I sit here in the dark and watch this light show, I seriously question the reviewing process. Normally I live and buy by these reviews, but this one is way off. This product sucks. Yes, I am a kid at heart and all (else why would I have bought this thing?) But I think anyone over the age of 7 would be amused with this for exactly 2 minutes. It projects a blue whispy cloud in the center with lots of small green dot of different sizes moving super quickly around it--"stars". It feels more like watching pond water under a microscope than watching the sky. Did I mention you can turn the cloud off? That is the big finale. Keep your money. This thing isn't worth the gas money to drive to the mall. Much less back to return it.

It's a fine laser light show - the blue stuff is nice and all that. However, it bears no resemblance to the real sky so if that's what you're looking for this is not it.

This is the best light effect (for a normal price range) I've come across. It's approx 100x better than the "laserpod". It covers a lot of wall/ceiling space -- the beam spread is almost exactly a 90 degree wide cone (not 180 degrees) - so if you put it in a corner on the floor and aim it at 45 degrees up, the circular star field will have one edge on the ceiling directly above and the bottom edge just above floor level and you'll have stars on the majority of two walls & your ceiling. ..another way to look at it -- if you point it straight up at your 10 foot high ceiling up, the circular star field will stretch 20 feet across your ceiling... This does, in general, give a great impression of being random stars swirling about. Obviously, this is meant for a dark or very dim room. A well lit room kill the effect completely. In a dark room it really does fill a lot of wall/ceiling space It seems well built (though it warns only use it 4 hours at a time so I imagine there... Read more
