Toys and Games Reviews of Uncle Milton Moon In My Room
Customer Review: Toddler loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 16 month old has been fascinated by the moon for months, so I bought her this hoping it would be a big hit, which it was. Whenever we turn it on she says "Moon!" excitedly, and if it is off, she repeatedly uses the same word to ask us to turn it on. I assume it will lose some of its novelty soon, but so far she has loved it. As to the product itself, when lit up in a dark room it looks surprisingly like the real thing. Works well and seems to be sturdy, though it doesn't get much bumping around since it is mounted high on the wall. My only wish is that you could use the 30 minute timer option manually at any point, not just if the moon is activated by a darkened room. Also, it does go through batters pretty quickly if used heavily, so wise to use rechargeables.Customer Review: Not That Thrilled
Summary: 3 Stars
Nowhere in the product description (including going back and rereading now) did I see that this product requires 4 AA batteries in addition to the 2 AAA batteries that are stated. I didn't expect to have to use more than the 2AAA. Okay, fine.
The battery compartments should be made to easily pop out like every other product on the market - NOT have to be unscrewed. Makes no sense to me and is a pain already.
The moon is okay, but not as exciting as I thought it would be. Maybe it'll grow on me as I use it in the dark.
Stock up on batteries for this toy. Now I wonder what the Rainbow in My Room will require besides the three AAA batteries listed in the description. Hope that item isn't as underwhelming as this one.
Customer Review: Not impressed
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this item because I happen to have an almost infatuation with the moon. I constantly take photographs of it and love looking at it. I was hoping this item would be more realistic, as the picture seems to represent it. However, when I got it I realize that it's very fake looking. Furthermore, the dilineations that are apparent when the moon is put on different fullness settings (i.e. full moon vs partial moon) is very fake looking. You can easily tell that there's a light inside. Maybe it's my fault for expecting something more realistic from a what's actually just a fancy night light, but with all the glowing reviews, I was expecting more. I suppose it functions well as an interesting nightlight, but don't expect anything more.Customer Review: Way better than a nightlight
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this moon for my daughter's solar-system themed room just because it seemed neat and it fit the theme. It's way better than the simple decoration I expected! With her remote control, she can watch the moon wax and wane on its own, or she can control its phases by herself. The batteries last quite a while, even when she leaves it on as a nightlight (it turns off by itself). While I haven't yet had to replace the battery in the remote control, replacing them in the moon has been very easy. The amount of light put out by the moon seems to be about equivalent to a nightlight when it's in its full phase and is dim enough to see the molded craters and shadows on the surface without being too bright. We're very happy with it!Customer Review: Looks great in a toddler's room!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 3 year old absolutely loves this moon! We turn it on before he goes to bed every night. He has been fascinated with the moon for a long time so we were very excited to be able to put this in his room. We also have a "Twilight Turtle" that projects stars on the wall, so it looks pretty neat in there with both of them. I agree with other reviews that it would be nice if you could use the moon without the remote, because if you lose it the moon will not work. Also, I wish that you had a choice for how long the moon stays on...30 minutes is not always long enough. Other than that I am very pleased with this product. Please notice that this seller has these for about twice as much as Target, so be sure to shop around.
