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!!!

Cloudy and not clearing even after following all instructions from the manufacturer. All that came of weeks of effort to clear it was a disappointed kid. Update: Ordered the blue and green one, asked to return the cloudy "blue/purple" which just looked white (as you can see). Blue/green arrived clear and fine. Amazon is only offering like $25 to return the purple. So, whatever. Not bothering to return it. Dont buy the purple/blue!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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

I saw alot of reviews that said it didn’t work. I thought this was the case with ours but after about 1 hour it started to work properly. I think just the first time using it it takes a while to start up. Hopefully this isn’t every time but still love it. The colors are beautiful. My 6 year old loves it! It does get hot to touch. Not burning but it is hot. Perfect gift. No timer just on off switch.

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.

so cool

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.
