Amazing idea & very happy so far but don't buy it for a kid... . PLUS: Excellent city light detail. For example, for Egypt there's a line of light along the Nile where the population is centered. Also, the difference between the almost solid light of South Korea versus total darkness for the North is starkly depicted. Quiet initial operation, started hearing gear vibration and took it down to look at, then put it back and it went away. Draws just over 4 watts.
MINUS: Sits on a mirrored-top plastic base not at earth's angle, unlike every other desktop globe out there, though this is to some extent necessary for the rotation. Oceans are the same shade of blue as school and library globes, in the daytime the color and detailing are below average for most globes. The picture of the continents glowing is a trick of the lighting in the shot. The US is yellow and Canada pink like the photo, but don't glow at all. City lights barely visible in daylight. NO UL LISTING! Impossible to repair, I unscrewed the three screwed-on rubber stoppers from the base, but the bottom is sealed to the base. No on/off switch, which is likely one reason for the lack of U/L certification. Opened the box and there were no instructions/warnings/warranty, nothing but the globe itself and packaging.
That said, in the dark it looks great, and if it holds up without getting unacceptable loud I'll be very satisfied. So far so good six weeks in...

Cons Review
Don't be fooled by pictures... . Always being somewhat fascinated by the look of the Earth from outer space I thought this globe was a pretty unique idea. Unfortunately, the marketing imagery differs so much from what you actually get it's pretty startling. I had assumed there would be small, individual beams of light emanating from the globe, almost like pinholes. Instead, the printing on the globe simply allows for some areas of the map to shine brighter than others when the device is plugged in. Further still, the globe is so thin you can see shadows of the inner-workings of the motor moving around on the surface all the time.
If it weren't for the price I might be a little bit more generous with the stars but this was a very disappointing purchase.

Disappointing globe . I cannot imagine anyone not being disappointed with this globe. As mentioned by another, it does not look anything like the picture. In fact, when I took it out of the box I thought I was sent the wrong globe. It is actually quite cheap looking; and while it looks interesting when lit in the dark, it is mostly seen in the light.Mine also makes a lot of noise. I can hear it turning from the next room. I finally unplugged it when I could hear it over my CD player. I am assuming mine is defective. Perhaps it was returned before for the same reason; it was obvious it was not new.A final irritation is that light can be seen through the equatorial seam.
City Lights Globe . My daughter loves this globe. Looks real cool at night when it lights up. Great as a night light and very educational..
