Original TEDCO Gyroscope Review:

There were more than twenty customers who gave their feedback on this scientific gadget, and they gave it an average rating of 3.8 stars. They also commended it for being highly durable, reasonably fun, and greatly educational.

One of the reviewers described this gyroscope as being awesome, as, after the string was wound up and pulled, it would go into action for about a minute or so. He liked how it could actually balance on something as small as the tip of a pencil, and also on the included pedestal. He even found that sometimes, after it slowed down, it would proceed to spin horizontally on its base. Another buyer got this for his sister, who loved it a lot. One more buyer shared how he got this toy after seeing a video online of a gyroscope that never seemed to fall. He conceded that this item was a bit cheaper than the one he saw on the video, with balancing that had some stiff portions, but he liked it nonetheless. He confirmed that it could balance itself on pen caps and string, and the lesser time was not that much of an issue. Other reviewers appreciated this gizmo no matter what its intended purpose was, whether for educational purposes or a simple cure for boredom: he shared how he always found himself playing with it, trying to balance it on just about anything.

One of the buyers who were not too happy with their purchase experience complained about how the gyroscope apparently fell apart within the first day. The reviewer was a teacher who got this for his students, and he shared how it fell apart after the first person who got to look at it tried to use it. He was very disappointed with the quality of the item, although he conceded that for the price, it should have been expected. Another buyer who complained of its being built cheaply commented that it might have been used, with the finish being full of scratches.

From these reviews, we believe you will find this to be a fun scientific gadget. Just make sure you test it as soon as you receive it to check for defects.
