qtxBattery Powered Mirror Ball Motor, Black

My expectations weren't high but this little motor packs an amazing punch and is remarkably robust.I purchased this last minute to make the vanes of a large windmill rotate on a windmill piece of farmyard scenery for a stage set for a play. This wasn't a small windmill, we're talking 3 metres high, and the diameter of the windmill vanes was about 1 meter made from lightweight material but it wasn't properly weight balanced so didn't rotate uniformly. I had to mount the motor horizontally not vertically like you would with a mirror ball. The motor looked fairly cheap and my expectations weren't high tbh, as I wasn't using it for it's designed intention. Being powered by only one D cell battery didn't inspire much confidence either as to how long the motor would last with the unusual usage.But, for 4 days and 4 performances of 3+ hours this little thing kept going. Exceed my expectations for something so cheap. I did experience some issues with the power switch, as reported in other reviews so left it switched on and just disconnected the battery to stop it.Overall, worked brilliantly and was commented on that our windmill had proper spinning vanes.

The media could not be loaded. Good for the price. Didn’t realise battery’s went included which was annoying however it’s likely I just didn’t read the description. Turns a bit to fast but does the job for what I wanted it for.

Worked exactly as hoped for. Only rotates at one speed which can be a bit fast depending on the vibe, but really easy to set up and use

Perfect

It works for now cheaply made but does the job

When it arrived it didn't work at all, I tried to return it but was told I would have to pay for postage and it cost more than the item itself to ship back. So I had no choice but to open it up and try fix it myself, it is made up of very cheap plastic and the cogs used to spin it are cheap and haphazardly placed so it is very easy to break. Also was soldered badly so I redid the solder and replaced the cogs with better support myself and it finally works. Do not trust this company though, very badly made with the cheapest budget they could and I can't beleive I was told I would have to pay return postage.

Works as described. 4 stars only as it isn’t the prettiest addition to the ceiling with a visible battery - but it works fine which is the main point!

This little gadget is brilliant value for money. I used it for the first time recently and it ran for 5 hours and the battery still had plenty of life in it. It is easy to set up and does the job very well. Make sure you can get to it to turn it on and off though if you need to.
