Angela, Grays , “mum of 3”

Score 2.0/10

+ Learn about planets and constellations, supposedly very easily

- In practice very hard to use. The unit is meant to project the stars onto the ceiling but we found the only way to see everything clearly was to have the unit approx 60cm away from the ceiling. Very dangerous and completely unpractical.

+ NONE

- It wouldnt'd focus, therefore none of the stars or planets could be seen and read. if it was held 6 inches from the ceiling - it was slightly clearer but then you could only see a small portion of the projection...

M's A , Eastbourne , “bubbly, crazy, fun mum.”

Score 9.0/10

+ it was a very sturdy product that could be taken into different rooms and the voice was clear and east to take in. my son was very intrigued by it and was happy to show his friends.

- to get a clear view it had to be very close to the ceiling and as we didn't have a high enough skelf i had to stand and hold it whilst it went round otherwise its very blurry for the childremn to see.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Bought for age 7”

Score 8.0/10

+ Nice and stable, interesting facts and good quality image of star constellations

- Unfortunately you can only watch moving star constellations with the commentary. You can see a static projection of the stars without the commentary on

Score 9.0/10

+ my son loves the atmospheric commentary and looking at the star projections at bedtime

- we have to pile up toy boxes to get the planetarium near enough to the ceiling to be in focus - a stand would have been a good idea.

+ none

- absolutely useless as a planetarium - the stars are too weakand don’t focus unless you have it almost touching the ceiling - extremely disappointing
