We got this for a science project. It arrived and we plugged it in. It came on then shut off. Never worked again . We’re sending it back for a replacement, so I hope the next one works!Update: was quickly shipped another one and it works great!!

I bought this because I could get it delivered overnight and wanted to have it for a kid's class on charge the next day. The globe is 5.75", which isn't anywhere near 8", but I now see that almost all plasma balls are not advertised by globe size, and none of the seller images had dimensions. An adult can put both hands around the ball without fingers touching, so it's definitely a usable size for observing across a classroom, or for 2-3 people to actively use.The pictures the seller does have are wrong, though. The ball I received has the terminal on the bottom of the globe, so plasma crawls up the side of the globe, and doesn't come from a center terminal as shown in the images. While I'm disappointed at the deceptive listing, the effect isn't bad, and the ball does light up reasonably well with the tendrils coming up the sides.The phosphorescent coating does make the globe more exciting in the dark. It's a dusty appearance in the light, but the entire globe glows in the dark, and with the plasma arcs crawling over the sides of the globe the effect is pretty good.The audio mode is largely useless. If there's a strong beat then it turns off briefly on the beat. Clapping can activate this. It doesn't react to the music in any other way - just full on and off. For a cheap globe you can't really expect a variable power supply, but the audio mode is little more than a gimmick to compete with other globes as an expected feature. Useless.Packaging was underwhelming. The globe was bubble wrapped and placed in its box without further protection, and Amazon delivered without putting it in another box. It arrived safely, and, probably due to the lightness of the entire model, it wasn't damaged, but this isn't something I'd expect to survive typical shipping operations, and if you need to travel with it you'll want to consider additional protection.

My youngest son asked for a plasma ball for Christmas. I never knew they came in different colors until I started looking into them more and found this green one (his favorite color). He loves it! It is definitely fragile and could easily be broke so not for kids who are too rough (I’m anxious that my son will break his). With that in mind this is a neat gift!

UPDATE: I bought this in September of 2021. It's now December of 2021 and its stopped working today. I'm seeing a lot of other reviews with this kind of experience. I suppose if you need a plasma globe to work for a month, this might be the right one for you, but if you need it to last for a while, it's probably not.For what it's worth, I checked the output from the AC adapter and it was 11.7 volts and I've not touched the switch since installation, but moving it to OFF, ON, or AUDIO changes nothing. And, as others have mentioned, the return period is long over and I see no information about a warranty, so lesson learned, I suppose. :(ORIGINAL REVIEW:Over the last few weeks, I've drawn to a close a 4.5-year-long procrastination phase and am cleaning/organizing my home office. One of the outcomes of this new phase is that I'm finding opportunities to (re-)add fun things to my office, like my old dusty Lava Lamp. When I found a place for that (and replaced its dead light bulb), I realized that I've wanted a plasma ball for a long time and never believed I had a place for it in my cluttered office of old.Well, it's a new day in Andy's office and since I now have a space for a plasma ball, let's do it!This one seemed like a good color and had good reviews (although I'm a little bit worried about it $#!^^ing out on me), so I bought it. It arrived today (a few days later) and I was pleased with the air padding, but as I pulled up the padding, the ball dropped into the bottom of the box. Nothing appeard to be harmed, but it seemed like a dumb arrangement.Anyway, I plugged it in and got really nice purple plasma tendrils hitting the globe and turning green. Touching the globe did what it's supposed to do (brought many of the tendrils toward my finger(s), and I didn't feel any shocking/tingling/buzzing or anything else that would have told me that something is wrong.I plugged it into a smart power strip so that it and my Lava Lamp come on a little bit before I start work and then turn off when I stop.I'm pleased and hoping that it lives a nice long life, but hey, at [whatever relatively small price I paid for this], even if it dies in a year or two, I'll likely buy another one since I find it to be a lot of fun.

I ordered this hoping that it would be what I remembered as a kid. It works well, it is a bit dim but for the price that this thing costs it is exactly what I expected. It gets pretty boring but its still nice to have set off to the side when friends with kids come over. As far as working with touch it works exactly how you would want.It is made of glass not plastic so you do need to be a little careful with it, dont have it on the edge of a counter with tile floors.I touched it with touchable gloves and got a good shock, nothing damaging it was like one of those trick shocking guns, made me jump but then chuckled about it and then everyone had to try it....
