Title: MESMERIZING!!!
Review: This was an impulse buy for sure, it was the first thing that came up when I searched for “Perpetual Motion Device.” Best impulse buy ever! The simplest way to describe this product is a zen garden that does all the work for you. The marble moves on its own, almost like magic, drawing patterns all throughout the sand. It functions perfectly, moving almost effortlessly as it rolls along.There are hundreds of patterns to choose from! Depending on which pattern you choose, it could take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours for the marble to draw it at max speed. More complex patterns take longer to draw. There is no work to be done, the marble does everything for you. All you have to do is set it up, and it does the rest! You don’t even have to worry about cleaning the canvas before starting a new pattern, it does that too!Initial setup is easy. You open the bag(s) of sand and pour them right in the center of the felt. You then use the included rake to spread the sand around the canvas. Once you do that, you place the marble in the center and then download the HoMedics drift companion app. The app will walk you through setting up the product, and will perform an initial “cleaning” session, in which the marble moves in a spiral pattern, spreading the sand out evenly and “clearing” the canvas to prepare it for your first pattern.The app will start in “Demo” mode, running the preset Demo playlist. You can stop this playlist and choose your own patterns, or just let it run. You can also create your own playlists containing your favorite patterns! You can change the color of the ambient lighting in the app, and it is fully customizable. You can even set it to color cycle or breathing if you’d like. When a drawing is in progress, there is an indicator that shows how complete the pattern is, indicated by a percentage. Pretty nifty feature.I could and have watched this thing run for hours. It is unbelievably entrancing and relaxing, and it’s a great way to take your mind off things and just zone out. There is a bit of a grinding sound from the marble rolling along, as shown in the provided video, but it’s not annoying at all. In fact, it actually enhances the experience. All in all, I would very highly recommend buying this product! If you’re on the fence, just get it now, you won’t be disappointed in the slightest!

Title: I love it!
Review: I purchased the 21 inch drift kinetic sand table after deciding not to purchase the $3500 coffee table made by a different company. I wanted to see if it was something that helped me relax. Considering the price of this versus the super expensive coffee table Table version by a different company, it’s amazing. Watching the ball create the patterns and move around the table is so soothing and relaxing to my brain. I can put on some headphones put on some good music and watch this thing for hours. The app works flawlessly and the massive amount of design options is great. The only thing I wish I could do would be import my own designs. I really hope at some point they add that ability to the app. But there are so many preset designs I haven’t even gone through a third of them yet. If you’re considering purchasing an end table then I would recommend getting the stand and the table. Every single person that has come over to my house has wanted to watch it. It is a great conversation starter and a really cool thing to have in my home. I am very happy with the purchase and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I took it out of the box and had it making its first design in less than two minutes. All of the different lighting color options etc. and the app make it even better.

Title: Pretty cool, fun to have it going in the background
Review: Other than having a small problem with figuring out where it should go, this is a nice thingie.It’s quiet, it has nice lighting, it makes nifty designs. We have it on the coffee table but you have to have a cord strung across the floor to use it. It’s nice to have it running for a while during a party or a quiet evening.

Title: Beautiful but tricky trying to get it to work with Android
Review: Update 2: For reasons I don’t understand the device stopped communicating with my Pixel 6a even after using the phone to set it up. I had to switch to an old LG V30. It works about 7 out of 10 tries with the LG. Enough to change the settings and patterns. Once it’s up and running it doesn’t really need tweaking. But if you decide to change the lights and patterns it will need the app. I honestly don’t understand why this is such a riddle for Homedics. Every other Bluetooth device I’ve ever owned works more consistently that the Drift. It’s worth the hassle, though. The device is gorgeous.Update 1: I initially wrote a very negative review. Now that I finally figured out how to get it to work I love it! If you’re using Android, it needs to connect via Bluetooth to do a firmware update before you can set it up. The drift never shows up on my list of available Bluetooth devices. However, the app does provide the device as an option. The first several times I tried to do the firmware update the process froze and I had to start over. I turned the drift on and off and rebooted my phone. That seems to do the trick because I was finally able to update the firmware. It took several minutes, maybe 5-10 but I didn’t count. After the firmware update I was able to change the settings for the Drift.In terms of size, I chose the 16 inch and am glad. It fits nicely on a rectangular coffee table. For me the 21 inch would be way way too big. However, I could see turning the 21 inch into it’s own end table. But unless you have a specific spot that can fit the larger one, I would recommend the 16 inch.Now that it works this thing is absolutely gorgeous. The level of detail in the patterns is truly impressive and the lighting is perfect. It’s a piece of art that also makes its own art.

Review: This device is soothing and lovely – we had it running in our living room as a side table. Lights are a bit bright at night, but otherwise it’s a great point for meditation and conversation piece, and the designs have great variety. Until, that is, the fabric under the sand started to bubble and lift, less than 6 months after opening. Within warranty, the seller will not exchange or refund, and Homedics Australia doesn’t exist – it’s an unmanned phone number and email address with no responses. Working through the credit card company now…
