I love it!
I purchased the 21 inch drift kinetic sand table after deciding not to purchase the $3500 coffee table made by a different company. I wanted to see if it was something that helped me relax. Considering the price of this versus the super expensive coffee table Table version by a different company, it’s amazing. Watching the ball create the patterns and move around the table is so soothing and relaxing to my brain. I can put on some headphones put on some good music and watch this thing for hours. The app works flawlessly and the massive amount of design options is great. The only thing I wish I could do would be import my own designs. I really hope at some point they add that ability to the app. But there are so many preset designs I haven’t even gone through a third of them yet. If you’re considering purchasing an end table then I would recommend getting the stand and the table. Every single person that has come over to my house has wanted to watch it. It is a great conversation starter and a really cool thing to have in my home. I am very happy with the purchase and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I took it out of the box and had it making its first design in less than two minutes. All of the different lighting color options etc. and the app make it even better.

Pricey but Fun!
Easy to assemble and gorgeous product. The app is easy to use and you will have the product up and running in less than 10 minutes. There are tons of patterns in the app many which are mesmerizing and some are just plain hokey. The weird ones tend to be attempts at holiday patterns. I love the speed adjustment in the app. I like to set it real slow because I want the pattern to take time to complete. Once complete the marble just stops and you are left with the chosen design. The lighting inside the Drift is pretty good. Its bright and there are enough colors to choose from.

Beautiful but tricky trying to get it to work with Android
Update 2: For reasons I don’t understand the device stopped communicating with my Pixel 6a even after using the phone to set it up. I had to switch to an old LG V30. It works about 7 out of 10 tries with the LG. Enough to change the settings and patterns. Once it’s up and running it doesn’t really need tweaking. But if you decide to change the lights and patterns it will need the app. I honestly don’t understand why this is such a riddle for Homedics. Every other Bluetooth device I’ve ever owned works more consistently that the Drift. It’s worth the hassle, though. The device is gorgeous.Update 1: I initially wrote a very negative review. Now that I finally figured out how to get it to work I love it! If you’re using Android, it needs to connect via Bluetooth to do a firmware update before you can set it up. The drift never shows up on my list of available Bluetooth devices. However, the app does provide the device as an option. The first several times I tried to do the firmware update the process froze and I had to start over. I turned the drift on and off and rebooted my phone. That seems to do the trick because I was finally able to update the firmware. It took several minutes, maybe 5-10 but I didn’t count. After the firmware update I was able to change the settings for the Drift.In terms of size, I chose the 16 inch and am glad. It fits nicely on a rectangular coffee table. For me the 21 inch would be way way too big. However, I could see turning the 21 inch into it’s own end table. But unless you have a specific spot that can fit the larger one, I would recommend the 16 inch.Now that it works this thing is absolutely gorgeous. The level of detail in the patterns is truly impressive and the lighting is perfect. It’s a piece of art that also makes its own art.

Very mesmerizing – great conversation starter!
I had some issues updating the firmware and using the app when first setting the table up. I could successfully update the firmware, but the app would error out after that and I was unable to change colors or apply patterns. To get the firmware update to work properly, I had to apply it through the app, then uninstall the app completely from my phone (Android) and re-install it. I unplugged the table and waited a few seconds before plugging it back in; then reconnected to the table with a fresh app install, and all functionality was working again.

Patrones de arena increíblesPrecisión milimétricaEs mucho dinero pero lo valeLa aplicación podría mejorar: Las imágenes de los patrones son muy pequeñas y con bajo contraste.

This device is soothing and lovely – we had it running in our living room as a side table. Lights are a bit bright at night, but otherwise it’s a great point for meditation and conversation piece, and the designs have great variety. Until, that is, the fabric under the sand started to bubble and lift, less than 6 months after opening. Within warranty, the seller will not exchange or refund, and Homedics Australia doesn’t exist – it’s an unmanned phone number and email address with no responses.
