So I saw the high price tag on this and seemed to see some mixed reviews as well although most ppl seemed to love it, but others stated theirs didn't spin etc...for me the product was just as advertised. It looks beautiful, the wood is really nice, the pot is also elegant and well made and it was very easy to get it to start floating, not hard like some reviews state, just takes a few tries but within a couple of minutes you get it and it also spins beautifully. The beautiful part is that sometimes it spins one way, comes to a halt, and then starts spinning the other direction, I'd say it probably spins for a good half an hour or so before it comes to a halt, but another spin and it's good to go again. it really is as beautiful as advertised and I'm very happy with it. there are other knock offs out there, but I feel this one is very well made and deserves the price tag for a few reasons that are other nice features: it has a heat sensor on it that will automatically turn it off if it heats up too long, that being said, this is not something to worry about as it stays on for a long time without heating up, but on the off chance it does heat up, it will turn off automatically. also the specialized contraption inside allows excess water to drain into a side compartment if needed. all in all I'm very happy with the product and will try and post a video of it too. thank you for an amazing product that has added so much to my home.
