Hi everyone. Where to start? Well. The packaging is of the very, very first quality. The lava lamp itself is just perfection,( I actually owned an original, way back in the 70s) but, alas and alack, it was lost during the passage of my life, (12 years a soldier, divorce etc.) If you really want the absolutely best lava lamp, than look no further than Mathmos. This is a fantastic piece of kit. How many English companies can now opine: We have spare parts that can fix one of our products that your parents bought in the 60s/70s." Nuff said I reckon. I've been enjoying mine for over four hours now, it is so relaxing and brings back so many good memories while I indulge in a night of red wine and early Floyd,

I was bought one of these for Christmas last year by my partner. Previously I'd had a little cheap one from China that didn't match the colour scheme in my flat and looked pretty cheap. I thought all lava lamps were the same, but the difference in quality is incredible! It's sturdy, looks stylish, is made in the UK and is from the original lava lamp makers - you can't get better then that! I have black wax in mine and it looks so contemporary and go with any colour scheme I go for in the future!I'd highly recommend purchasing a Mathmos Lamp over the other cheaper ones - you get what you pay for!I have since ordered other items for myself and as gifts,

I wondered about buying these lava lamps as they are more expensive than some of the alternatives on offer. Swayed by the Made in Britain, I took the plunge and bought two for my children's xmas presents. I've bought the orange/purple and the clear/black. Now they have arrived, in good time, I'm so pleased to have chosen them. Beautifully packed and solidly made, I've just tested them both and they are magnificent. They're about 1.5ft tall, a really nice desk/table top size. I can't wait to give them to my boys and I'm thinking now to get one for my husband and even for me! I could watch them all day........

I am a very happy owner of this lava lamp. You can say: "Well lava lamp, same as any other lava lamp". But it is not. It is one of these things you get and keep. When my children were small we got couple of car-boot sale type lava lamps. Since we got Astro Baby, the old ones went back to car-boot sale. Astro Baby is one to stay. It is the top quality, it looks great,... The colours are amazing. It creates such a special mood in our living room, especially in winter when days are dark and short. It brings an extra dimension to our home. It is Ferrari of lava lamps! Highly recommended!

This is now my 5th! Yes! 5th Lava lamp, & without a doubt these are the best on the market. Ive never had any issues with any of my Mathmos products, often leaving them going for quite a few hours at a timeUnlike other cheaper ones you can replace the bottles with different coloured liquid/wax if you change your decor so your lamp will never look out of place.Im a bit of a retro head & the blue /green colours look awesome 'bubbling' away on my 60's radiogramme,creating that perfect ambiance.I love the fact that these a still made in England & haven't dropped their high quality.

The Mathmos series of lava lamps are by far the best on the market.I had this purchased for me as a present and I was delighted. The shiny metal lamp stand smoothly leads into the bottle and it looks great in any lounge or bedroom. It does take a while to get going, starting to bubble after 30 minutes and only really getting into full swing after an hours but it is worth it. Replacement bottles are available from directly from Mathmos so if you fancy a different colour lighting mood then they are available to you if you can't quite decide which one to stump for.

One thing i have learned is that if you want something then you really do need to get the best that you can afford. I know this is a little pricey and that there are cheaper ones (half price etc..) but they are not worth it.This is sturdy, solid, performs brilliantly. Little baby (6 months) loves it.I have had the cheaper version in the past as 'it will do for now until i move'. Waste of time. they overheat, connections are not too tight, oil inside is not nearly as good and loose shape. Get this, not the cheaper ones and you will not be disappointed.

This lava lamp was a present for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved it! I got the plum version with clear liquid, and it's very fascinating and soothing to watch the lava form different shapes, especially with the lights switched off. I was especially pleased that it looked like a high quality lamp and nothing cheap or tacky, definitely worth the money! We haven't had any issues with it so far in terms of functionality or anything breaking/overheating/etc. and we've owned it for 4 years now.

Having had lava lamps when I was a child I was delighted when my wife gave me my new one for my Birthday, I was even more delighted when I saw it was a Mathmos. Ive had a number of "cheap copies" over the years and found them to be just that Cheap! poorly made and with a very short life expectancy!! My new light is perfect and sits proud on my bed side cabinet. I can not fault this lamp and would recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and unusual focal point to any room.

I got this for Christmas for my son who loves it. The only downside I can see is that the bottle just sits on the base so could easily be knocked over.The base does get very hot and the instructions say do not leave on for more than 6 hours at a time and it has taken 3 hours each time to heat up enough for the wax to start moving.This lamp does look lovely when working but takes ages to warm up.

Love my new lava lamp! I've had a cheap one in the past, it took ages to heat up and eventually the wax just floated at the top and never got warm enough. This Original Mathmos couldn't be better! The wax heats in a few minutes and the build quality is excellent. You get what you pay for and I'd recommend this over any cheap and inferior make that has a made in china label on it ;)

This cooled weirdly after the first use and we thought it was broken as the spring was stuck in the middle of the lamp and it looked awful. But before throwing it out, we gave it one more shot to heat up and hopefully settle. It worked and is back to working as normal!Don’t throw it away if it looks broken after first use! Very glad we didn’t, my little lad (11) loves it!

I must recommend this lava lamp from Mathmos for many reasons one made in Britain since 1964 which is very rare sadly to say , , the lamp itself is well made nice to know spare bottles made in Poole Dorset instead of China . Also arrived on time what can be better.....

The best Lava Lamp in my opinion. Bought this for my Grand daughter who really wanted one and she absolutely loves it, especially this colour which is what she wanted. Ended up buying one for my Grandson also as he was constantly wanting to sit and watch his sisters.

Having wanted a lava lamp since I was a child, now I finally have an original and best of all quality British made Mathmos lamp I can honestly say I am not disappointed, so relaxing and mesmerising to watch. Every home should have one! :-)
