Lava® Lamp - 14.5" Purple Sunset - The Original Motion Light - Yellow Wax and Purple Liquid - Item #2635 (Amazon Exclusive)

I didn't know that it should not be run without a break. I loved and enjoyed so much but I ended up ruining it. This is the second one just like the first one. They are both alike. I love the purple and red combination. It is so relaxing to watch. I have it placed where I can see it so I can look at it whenever l want.

I bought this to replace a Lava Lamp of the same color that was about 15 years old and starting to fade. Unfortunately the new ones have really decreased in quality. The fluid in the lamp I received was very cloudy and the wax looked fuzzy. Also when the wax softened after it warmed it became a bunch of little balls that stayed up at the top of the lamp and didn't flow up and down. I returned it and ordered a replacement lamp of the same color, purple fluid and yellow wax. The replacement was exactly the same with cloudy fluid and little balls of wax staying up at the top after the lamp warmed up. Other reviewers have reported the same issues. I regret I didn't go by their reviews. I did try the suggestions offered by the manufacturer to clear up the fluid which were not successful on either of the lamps I tried. I wish Lava Lamp would go back to their previous manufacturer as those lamps were high quality and lasted for years. There are so many similar complaints like mine that Amazon should pay attention to. Does nobody other than customers read these reviews? Fortunately Amazon refunded my purchase. If I could give it no stars I would have but Amazon does not allow that. I do not recommend this lava lamp.

These set a very nice and whimsical mood. I did not realize they take as long as they do to heat up and get flowing. Love these!

Very easy to assemble and it looks great. The colors are vibrant and look really cool. It lets off a nice green color in the room but doesn't make it blinding. The base does get warm to touch but nothing too bad.

Arrived on time and in excellent condition.

It is very cloudy. As a result of the cloudiness, the light doesn't really reach the top of the globe. This results in the wax having a dull, darker green color at the top of the globe. I've seen photos of others that don't have cloudy liquid, and they look great. They are crisp and vibrant. I wish mine looked like those.Update. Amazon sent a replacement, and it's just as bad. Only, I can't send it back because my wife accidently threw away the box containing the base. So now I have two cloudy globes, only one base...and I'll have to pay for it. These are junk, don't buy them.

I was pretty disappointed with this lava lamp. I ordered the the orange wax with purple liquid combo, the water is very murky, which ruins the whole look. Instead of the bold purple I expected, the liquid looks like a dull pinkish-grey, and it doesn’t get any clearer when the lamp is on. The wax still moves, but the color combination just isn’t what I paid for. Disappointed overall. It still functions, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one.

I was a bit hesitant after reading the reviews and slept on the idea of picking one of these up because the reviews aren't the greatest.I did have an issue with mine but it wasn't the end of the world. When I plugged the cable in the controller was set to turn on by default and the light bulb instantly blew. I didn't want to deal with the headache of trying to reach out for a replacement bulb so I ordered a pack of replacement bulbs and waited. They do offer a wide selection of replacement bulbs so do your due diligence to ensure you get the correct size with the correct wattage for you size of lamps should you encounter this problem.Once the bulbs I arrived I twisted a fresh one one in and switched the light on. The first cycle did take a good four hours to really get naturally flowing though I believe I have read this is common for your first cycle. I allowed the lamp to run for eight hours and the liquid did appear to be a little hazy as many others have reported but after a few eight hour cycles the liquid is crystal clear and the wax is naturally flowing in a little over an hour.Do I regret my purchase? Not at all. I can recommend a couple things! Use the Honey extension to track this products price because price does seem to trend upward before holidays and downward after. Also if you do choose to purchase, go in to it understanding it may require a little patience and a few days to get yours running how you envisioned in your mind. You also want to be aware you're purchasing something that doesn't exactly ship very well and it comes from a massive facility rushing out millions of packages. Though Amazon returns are pretty simple and hassle free.Best of luck!
