The media could not be loaded. This is an amazing product. I have been looking at a similar product for several years but finding this one makes me glad that I never pulled the trigger on buying the other manufacturer's version. This table arrived very well packed, with the table/base, glass top, 1 bag of sand, a small rake, power adapter with several changeable plugs for customizing to one's power outlet, and of course the steel ball that makes all the magic happen. It took roughly 5 minutes to set up the table. I added the sand, used the rake to level it, dropped the ball into the center, and powered it up. It immediately began a "cleaning" cycle, meaning it produced what appeared to be a coil, the purpose of which is apparently to further spread and level the sand. Then it began creating designs. Once it was running I took a few moments to download and install the accompanying app. Now I use an Android smartphone, and I was completely prepared for the app not to work - I had read so many negative reviews about the app from Android users. But much to my surprise the app connected to the table quickly, and i was thereafter able to control the table via my phone. Adjusting speed of the ball, color combinations, and the pattern(s) created were all at my fingertips. I can even power on/off the unit via the app. Oh...I almost forgot! When I launched the app and connected to the table I was prompted to update the table's firmware, which I did. In addition to other things the temperature of the light (on the Kelvin scale, not the heat generated) can be controlled, as can the frequency of color changes, the brightness of the light, and the frequency of change of color under the user selected color palette. Now the table goes about its day making one beautiful pattern after another. Every time I pass it I feel compelled to stop and gaze at the pattern it is making. Unlike most pieces of art, and I do consider this a piece of art, this one changes moment to moment. There are dozens of available designs, including many for different holidays. This table occupies a prominent location in our home, and I hope it continues to mesmerize us for years to come.

Ultra Cool!
My wife is Executive Director for a chain of counseling offices and one of the newer offices has a very large version of this. A few months back she was raving about it - just how cool it is. Soooo ... I got her the home version and she absolutely loves it. Set up was extremely easy and the app works flawlessly. It really is relaxing and mesmerizing. We might have to get one for her own office. There was a time not long ago this would have been considered magic of some kind - a trick. Just another small wonder that causes me to shake my head and grin. I recommend the matching table. It's a perfect fit.

MESMERIZING!!!
The media could not be loaded. This was an impulse buy for sure, it was the first thing that came up when I searched for “Perpetual Motion Device.” Best impulse buy ever! The simplest way to describe this product is a zen garden that does all the work for you. The marble moves on its own, almost like magic, drawing patterns all throughout the sand. It functions perfectly, moving almost effortlessly as it rolls along. There are hundreds of patterns to choose from! Depending on which pattern you choose, it could take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours for the marble to draw it at max speed. More complex patterns take longer to draw. There is no work to be done, the marble does everything for you. All you have to do is set it up, and it does the rest! You don’t even have to worry about cleaning the canvas before starting a new pattern, it does that too! Initial setup is easy. You open the bag(s) of sand and pour them right in the center of the felt. You then use the included rake to spread the sand around the canvas. Once you do that, you place the marble in the center and then download the HoMedics drift companion app. The app will walk you through setting up the product, and will perform an initial “cleaning” session, in which the marble moves in a spiral pattern, spreading the sand out evenly and “clearing” the canvas to prepare it for your first pattern. The app will start in “Demo” mode, running the preset Demo playlist. You can stop this playlist and choose your own patterns, or just let it run. You can also create your own playlists containing your favorite patterns! You can change the color of the ambient lighting in the app, and it is fully customizable. You can even set it to color cycle or breathing if you’d like. When a drawing is in progress, there is an indicator that shows how complete the pattern is, indicated by a percentage. Pretty nifty feature. I could and have watched this thing run for hours. It is unbelievably entrancing and relaxing, and it’s a great way to take your mind off things and just zone out. There is a bit of a grinding sound from the marble rolling along, as shown in the provided video, but it’s not annoying at all. In fact, it actually enhances the experience. All in all, I would very highly recommend buying this product! If you’re on the fence, just get it now, you won’t be disappointed in the slightest!

Lovely until it breaks
This device is soothing and lovely - we had it running in our living room as a side table. Lights are a bit bright at night, but otherwise it's a great point for meditation and conversation piece, and the designs have great variety. Until, that is, the fabric under the sand started to bubble and lift, less than 6 months after opening. Within warranty, the seller will not exchange or refund, and Homedics Australia doesn't exist - it's an unmanned phone number and email address with no responses. Working through the credit card company now...
