Summary: Nice scientific toy and show-piece
Comment: I bought this one last year, and took it to India as a gift for my teenage niece, and the whole family was quite impressed by this, including myself, when I first found this. I and they compared the displayed temperature with the other thermometers and it was accurate.
The only thing is that sphere move very very slowly even if the temperature change is drastic - so, not any movement of spheres to watch and admire. I had moved it from outside in Minnesota winters to inside 70F, and the spheres movement was very very slow, though eventually it showed the correct temperature.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great!
Comment: I was reluctant to order such a fragile project, but the thermometer came in perfect condition. The colors are bright, and it's working great so far!
Customer Rating: Summary: Very Nice
Comment: I bought this item for my husband for his birthday and he loves it! It is the perfect size! At first I was worried because the box it had been shipped in was dented on one side (probably in spite of the bright orange "FRAGILE" stickers) but it was fine when I opened it. What was weird is that the inner box had a picture of the thermometer and the bulb colors were all red... but inside they are different colored. At least it works well!!! :o)
Customer Rating: Summary: Broken and had to replace
Comment: I had Broken my roommates Galileo Thermometer. I look ever where to find one and couldn't. Amazon was the first to have anything close. I ordered this one cause it looked the most like her old one. We then got it in the mail and it was dead on.
