TEDCO Classic Gyroscope – Timeless STEM Toy Since 1917 – Teaches Motion, Balance & Inertia – Made in USA – Ages 8+

Bought for my fiancé for Valentine’s Day. Works perfect and is a good size. It’s self explanatory on how to use but comes with instructions. The price is good and it spins perfectly and for a long time. It’s not loud like some others I have seen.

He said it was the best on he got for the price, kept him entertained for a couple of days.

This gyroscope does not seem to work quite as well as the one I was given when a child but it has been sufficient to illustrate gyroscopic principles to an 8 yr old.

Fun and interesting to play with had a lot of fun seeing how fast I could get it spinning

WARNING: LEAD PAINTDo not buy this product for your children, they use lead paint. Red on the test swab means lead is present.

It works somewhat okay, but the quality feels cheap and unfinished, like it wasn't tested properly.

I bought it for my six yo nephew, and he loves it

Although the gyroscope isn't perfectly balanced (vibrates on its axis quite a bit), it's still able to perform all the stunts as seen in the videos. This includes the gravity-defying "hovering" trick where it levitates sideways. Granted, it takes a little practice to get it working right - it works best if you stand it straight up first and "nudge" it sideways. I have found this technique will always work.Getting it to balance on the other hand was tricky, and I was unable to balance it on my finger or any other odd, non-flat surface besides the included stand.
