Does it still work after a long time? Also is the globe durable?

Yes, it still works fine. The term 'durable' is subjective... My globe is on my desk and I never rock my table hard enough to displace the globe from it's floating position. The globe has a much higher chance of falling onto the ground, so in that sense...The globe is just plastic with some pieces of magnet on the north and south poles, so it should still work after being dropped and kicked around.

Yes, it is a great globe and the magnetism makes it spin all the time. I leave it on a lot. It is very durable and should last a long time.

We usually have it turned on for 8 hours a day Monday through Friday and it is still going strong. The students have dropped the globe a few times and it is holding up well.

The globe is glass. I have had this fan for about 2 months, and it appears (at this point) to be well made.

No it doesn't. The globe is amber and casts a yellow glow. I think if the globe is changed to a more translucent one it will be better. I have yet to do this.

I bought this for my son about 5 years ago I believe and he used it several time and still have it and it still works. It is pretty cool. But to answer the battery life, I do not believe it uses the batteries like you might think. It is easy on the batteries.

I bought this as a Christmas gift in 2012, so can't measure. However, in the description, it, it says that is a 12 inch globe. That seems to be right. I know the globe was still turning at Halloween of 2014, with a seven and a five year old using it, so I would say it is durable.

I bought my first one about 6 or 7 years ago. It is still working great. The one I bought recently was for my granddaughters birthday and she loves it.

I've had mine for almost a year and use it a couple times a month. I'm careful with it but it's held up just fine. I wouldn't consider it super durable but there's that fwiw.

I've only had it for a year, but started it back up and it is working like a charm again this year. The bugs are really bad here in MA and it did a bang up job last year. It seems pretty sturdy, I pulled it in kind of late last year once it started snowing and it started right up. My mom has them and actually convinced me to get one and hers have worked for at least 5 or 6 years.

The Globe is removable by pulling up on the top of the meridian and pushing the globe to either side. You can then pull the globe off of its light kit and replace the bulb should it be broken or burnt out. Waypoint Geographic is the direct importer of this item and provides a 90 limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. Hope that helps, it is a very nice globe!

It spins easily, but it is very light. I think the only really sturdy globe would be a floor model. You do need it take care when using this globe.

I've been using mine for 3+ years now and I find it quite mobile. Still works like the day I got it.

I've only used it maybe 4 times since I got it. My nephew has crashed it every time and it still works. The las time he dropped it Ina pond. After that it was acting weird. I dried it out and recharged it and was working again. So far It has been durable for me?

I've had mine for 2 years and it seems to be going strong. The battery charge doesn't last a long time (about 15 min or so) but that has always been the case.

All I know is that it is brighter than the original. Actual power not sure .I haven't tested it. I don't know how long they last as it hasn't been in for very long . Say 500km ish . sorry can't be more help. There is another brand with a yellow type looking globe . These fall apart real fast .

I think it wil last quite a long time, just take it out in the sun once a month. I have had mine for a year and they work perfectly.
