I have received several and they all worked when I first got them. They all failed soon after. It is a great idea but they just don't last. Get a refund and look for something else.

Hi Jason.. I purchased mine over a year ago and it's worked perfectly ever since. I've read where there have been people who experienced issues with the Levitron but all I can talk about is my experience. I set it up immediately when I received it. Getting the globe positioned perfectly for levitation is difficult at first but with just a little patience I got mine balanced and it's been running flawlessly ever since. I've had to re-start it a few times after power outages and getting it positioned becomes easier and easier. Now it takes about 20 seconds to get the globe where it needs to be. Good luck!

We have had ours for over 4 years and have not had any problems with it. t dose take a little patience to get it positioned just right to get it spinning properly and it certainly has been a conversation piece when we have company. Have given a few ofo them as gifts too and no one seems to have any problem with them.

Yes, it does. You need to keep it plugged in, though. When there is no electricity, the globe sticks to the base via magnet.

I'd say no. Tried to get it levitating countless times then gave up. Never managed even once.

I am going to say no only because all of the Leviton specs show only 60 Hz. However, it's quite possible that it would work but with incorrect times, lengthened by a factor of 6/5 if its counting cycles for timing. I searched but can't find anyone using them at 50 Hz. Sorry.

I used one manufactured by Leviton, the regular one with the small lever on the right side and it works perfectly. (i think it cost me $ 23.00 or so)

I have not experienced that at all. Wonder if you have a faulty one. You could contact leviton they would be able to help you or replace it.

Hello Bryan. You should try with your own magnet globe, if it doesn´t work, I think you could made your own plastic globe around the original magnet without problem.And I told you, you should have patient to put the magnet in the center, I did it almost in five minute my first time, but in the afternoon, I was already putting in a few seconds...

I am having the same issue. For some reason, I am not able to get this system to stay on. I have had Magellan's before and never had any issues. I love this product but cannot get it to work. Sometimes it turns on and with a slight bump turns off again. seems like some loose connection. Please help!!!!

Works fine for me with Lutron Maestro CL dimmers. I too was unable to get Levitons to work properly.

Nope! Check out my review of this model to find the other model I bought when this one's globe broke early on, just as others' reviews warned. Sorry if it happened to you, too!

If you adjust the magnetic declination then you should be fine. If however it continues to not function properly then brunton should replace or refund you if you send it in explaining your problem within a reasonable amount of time. Hope that helps address your questions/concerns.

Yes it does, works between satellites, or base and satellite. Haven't tried it yet though.

No it doesn't talk when you touch the globe. You have to press the buttons with answers when it asks a question.

It actually can rotate with the adaptor, but will NOT rotate with batteries. It will only light up with the batteries. This is different than the original description specified.

No. It works by sensing the rotating disc in the meter counting each revolution. Doesn't matter which way it rotates.

The one I received was crooked one. it never worked. I believe it does work with batteries. But in general its not as good or catchy as it looks in the picture. I had to return it back. Its been made of very cheap material. Chinese swap market...

No - the globe is not electronically linked to the base. There are other globes that have styluses that provide that functionality.
