A fascinating exhibit of both solar energy and light refraction, this see-through device sticks onto any window in direct sunlight to create a never-ending display of scientific beauty. Watch the tiny solar-powered motor spin as twin Swarovski crystals split sunlight into its component colors and send rainbows cascading across walls.

I bought this for my new son's nursery and I couldn't be more pleased. He is currently 8 weeks old and follows the little rainbow light spots around the room. They calm him when he is fussy and also help him go down for a nap. The light even comes out into our living room when his door is open and it makes me happy instantly. My husband even says that it is the best purchase we have made for him. I'd recommend getting one for yourself and also get a few for gifts. This is the first review I have ever written online but felt that if I could influence someone getting one I should. Even if you don't have kids, it would add a special something to any house. Money well spent!

Remembering "Pollyanna" I was looking forward to rainbows in my sun room. Unfortunately, I was so disappointed that the wheels went around, but the crystals did not turn. There is probably a disconnect somewhere in the mechanism. I still want to see this work as described by some of the reviews, so I have gone on and ordered another one. I hope I can see what others have seen with the next one. I am out $40, but still hoping to see the rainbows.

Bought this for my grandson's first birthday. It will be a long lasting "toy" that will teach him as he grows. I am a science teacher, so I try to make sure all my gifts are educational, as well as enjoyable.

Comments about Double Rainbowmaker:
With 2 of these in my sunroom, I am able to enjoy the swirling rainbows throughout the day. They are beautiful! All you have to do is put it on the window, and it automatically sends beautiful rainbows around the room (ceiling, walls, floor) when the sun hits it directly.
