Review by Kelly McCants for Uncle Milton Rainbow In My Room Rating: This toy is pretty cool in that it projects a rainbow on the wall across the room. A few disappointments, however, make it not worth the price that I've seen charged. First of all, it really only works in a darkened room, which does make it fun for a nightlight. There is an auto-off feature so it wouldn't last all night, however. Second, this thing eats batteries! It takes 4 AAA batteries and we replace them at a ridiculous rate. Third, I expected this to be some type of prism that separated the light colors to aid in the educational value. No, it's just colored lights that reflect off a mirrored base.

It's cool and my daughter really loves hers, but I wouldn't pay more than $20-25 for it considering the rate in which it goes through batteries.

Review by N. Squires for Uncle Milton Rainbow In My Room Rating: I bought this for my 6 year-old niece for Christmas. I thought it would be a fun toy to have in her room. Who wouldn't want their own rainbow? Well, the only way we could really see the rainbow was to go inside the bathroom, turn off all the lights and close the door. Any kind of outside light made it very hard to see the rainbow at all. Overall, this toy was just not worth the $30 I paid for it. We're sending it back to get something she'll actually enjoy.

Review by Ava M. Farmer for Uncle Milton Rainbow In My Room Rating: I bought this for my daughter for Christmas... less than one month, and at least 3 battery changes later, the rainbow is not much more than a faint streak of light in her room. When I initially bought it, the colors were vibrant, and we were very happy with the light that it produced. Now, my daughter is back to wanting other sources of light in her room as this rainbow is hardly visible, even with new batteries. Certainly not worth the money.

Review by M.S. for Uncle Milton Rainbow In My Room Rating: My son really wanted this toy for Christmas. He LOVES rainbows. He has autism and loves most visual toys. It is much more compact than I thought it would be and it found a spot immediately on his dresser. You just hold your hand under the arc for a moment and the rainbow shows itself on the walls or ceiling depending on how it is positioned. He loves it. There isn't much more to it than that, but it is a beautiful calming thing to see on your walls in the comfort of your own room any time you want to see it.

Review by kelly for Uncle Milton Rainbow In My Room Rating: Before my purchase, I read mixed reviews about this product. Many of its purchasers loved it while others discovered their's to be defective. The first one I purchased did not project a rainbow at all. Apparently, there are five small bulbs that must illuminate to produce a rainbow and only three were lighting. Be sure to check your merchant's exchange policy for defective merchandise before buying this product as I ended up having to pay an additional nine dollars to return it which was not refunded and two additional weeks to finally have a working Rainbow in My Room.
The product projects a rainbow onto the walls, not through the air as displayed in the illustration, but I do have to say that my seven year old and my three year old are completely enchanted. Even my husband who tends to think everything is a piece of junk is impressed with it. I can see a lot of magical sleepovers at our house occurring in the near future.
