Lava® Lamp - 14.5" Purple Sunset - The Original Motion Light - Yellow Wax and Purple Liquid - Item #2635 (Amazon Exclusive)

The lava lamp is great!! PSA: to anyone who says that the liquid inside is murky and you can’t see the bubbles you just have to run it 2-3 times and the liquid clears up!!! Your item is NOT defective. All of the teeny tiny wax particles in the liquid just need to melt fully and then the liquid becomes clear. It takes multiple times running the lamp to do so. I am at about.10-12 hours now and it’s starting to become completely clear inside. The first time I turned it on it was completely cloudy. This is normal, don’t worry just keep running it!!!

I was so excited for this purchase and am extremely disappointed. It arrived very cloudy, and they told me it was normal and would clear up in a few weeks after following instructions. I have done all of the instructions, and the lava lamp is still cloudy, and now the switch is acting shoddy and turning off on its own. Given the timing, I am also now unable to return the product. I strongly recommend purchasing somewhere else.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arrived broken, but excellent customer service I ordered this lava lamp because I love the classic retro look and wanted something relaxing for my desk. Unfortunately, when the package arrived the glass globe was completely shattered inside the box. It appeared to have been damaged during shipping. I contacted customer service right away, and this is where the experience really improved. They responded quickly and handled the situation professionally. The process was easy, and they made sure the issue was taken care of without any hassle. From what I could see before unpacking the broken globe, the base felt sturdy and well-made, and the overall design looked exactly like the photos. The packaging itself looked decent, so the damage likely happened during transit rather than being a product defect. What I liked: • Classic lava lamp design • Solid-feeling base • Fast and helpful customer support What could be improved: • Packaging protection for the glass globe could be better to prevent shipping damage While it was disappointing to receive a broken item, the quick and helpful response from customer service made a big difference. Based on how they handled the situation, I would feel comfortable ordering from this seller again

Works great. We have been keeping them on for 8 to 12 hours a day and this one has the clearest of the liquids. Very nice. We also bought the blue one. A little less clear than the pink ones and can’t stay on quite as long.

This is the lava lamp of my childhood — exactly the same look, same movement, same vibe. It’s the official LAVA brand, so I knew I couldn’t go wrong. I couldn’t decide on a color, so I ended up buying all three. Aesthetically, they’re great. The green and pink versions are especially beautiful; the blue one feels a little less impressive in real life, but still nice. Once they’re warmed up, the lava flows really well and looks exactly like it should. The only thing is that they’re quite slow to heat. It takes a while before the wax really starts moving, though I’m pretty sure that’s just how lava lamps work in general — it’s part of their nature. The metal part does look a bit cheap up close. Not a dealbreaker, but something to know if you’re expecting a premium finish. The glass and the colors, though, are spot-on. If you love lava lamps or want that nostalgic glow in your home, this is definitely the brand to choose. Final verdict: Classic lava lamp look, beautiful colors (especially green and pink), slightly cheap metal base, and slow to heat — but the nostalgia and glow are perfect.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this deserves one. I’ve had it for about a year now and I still love it. It has never gotten cloudy, i’ve had no color fading in the wax or liquid, and I’ve never once had a problem with overheating or any mechanical issues. It does get pretty warm if you leave it on for hours, but never hot enough to cause a fire. It was also super easy to put together, and has a super sturdy base that gives me ease of mind that it won’t fall off the shelf. Love it. You will too.

A bunch of reviews say this lamp is cloudy. And sure, you think: “Okay, maybe people are impatient or don’t know how lava lamps work.” and it makes sense, right? We live in the age of instant gratification and all. Nope. It depends on whether you got a good lamp… or one of the MANY defective ones. Mine arrived cloudy/milky and I followed the instructions exactly. I ran it for hours. I did multiple cool-down cycles. I gave it DAYS. And yes, the liquid got a little clearer… just enough to reveal the real problem: The wax is FULL of bubbles. Not a couple. A RIDICULOUS amount. The blobs literally look aerated, like someone whipped the wax like they were trying to make whipped cream in there. That’s not “shipping particles.” That’s a manufacturing defect and it's not hard to figure that out. I even emailed the company directly asking for a replacement globe, because clearly this one is defective. Their response was basically: “Cloudiness is normal, keep cycling it for 1–2 weeks… and if you're not happy return it to Amazon.” So just to be clear: the company does NOT help you. They're great if you want someone to repeat to what the box insert says. Reach out, they'll repeat it to you in a longer version. They just push you back to Amazon which is surprising Amazon allows it honestly. And here’s the part that matters: This company has been making lava lamps since 1965. That’s 61 years of producing the same basic product. If something stays relevant for 61 years, it’s because it’s basically a 5-star idea and people liked it a 5-star rate. So how does a product this simple and timeless end up sitting at 3.6 stars? Answer: quality control is non-existent and customer service doesn't exist. Some people get a good lamp (very few though it appears). Others get cloudy junk that they're little "helpful" booklet doesn't help. How cloudy? I can't see my fingers on the other side of the lamp through what? 3 inches of liquid? But don't worry, I'm sure it'll clear before the Universe itself ends, I'll be long gone but not the company's problem apparently. If you get a good one, great. But if you get a bad one like mine, don’t expect the company to make it right, they see it as Amazon's problem.

Was great for about 3 months but became cloudy and the lava stopped moving. We've tried a few tricks to fix it with no luck. My daughter is very disappointed, and I'm hoping the company will replace it.

Producto llegó dañado

Arrived broken

I ordered a different one from somewhere else and they kept a big chunk of purchase price to return. This company does not. I accidently wrote a wrong review so I want to make it clear that this product is exactly as described. Shipped quickly and arrived early. Works very well. Very satisfies amd will buy another for another gift.

First one shipped broken (I think it was a return?) but the second replacement has been working away without issues for a while now.

Given so many reviews mention they received what looked like previously returned products looking cloudy, I wanted to add my experience with getting a unit which I also believe was previously returned. It arrived with the spring askew near the bottom and all. I followed the manufacturer's instructions and let it settle for a couple of hours before turning it on. Then I put it on a timer outlet and let it cycle 2h on 2h off for about 8 hours. Then I let it settle while off for some 8h, and put it on a 6h on then 6h off for a few days. After that, I had a very dynamic and good looking lamp. It did look a slight bit cloudy, but now, after several months, it looks great! So while I am ready to accept I may be lucky and got a really good unit, the fact it looked returned (cable wrapped sloppily, etc), my lamp survived all this and operates like it should, as far as I can tell. Forum posts seem to indicate these lamps, although not the best they've ever been, are also a lot easier to make work despite motion during shipping, and that has been my experience.
