Disappointing 15 Jan 2012
By Kacey
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
very disappointed with this product. The main problem is that you cannot focus the projector and so you cannot really see anything when it is projected onto the ceiling as it is out of focus. I would not recommend that anyone buys this.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my son. He loved it although it doesn't focus that clearly on the ceiling unless you raise it a fair distance off the floor. Unfortunately, the second time my son went to use it the bulb did not work. Changed batteries and bulb etc but refused to work any further.

Returned the item to Amazon - excellent service as the replacement arrived by 29/12/11.
The second globe then went exactly the same way. Worked for a few hours and then bulb stopped working. Bulb and batteries changed to no avail. The second one is now on its way back to Amazon for a refund.

Do not buy as there are clear quality control issues with this product.

My eleven year old daughter bought this herself - she was really excited about it! Unfortunately we hadn't read the reviews first - wish we had! Can't focus the star names unless you hold it high enough to the ceiling and even then it wasn't very clear. Daughter very unhappy as she really thought this was going to be a great item. Very disappointed with National Geographic yet again - bought a mini telescope from them at Christmas and it is useless too! National Geographic Double Globe Planetarium
