When I saw these purple fluid/pink wax Grandes came back in stock on Amazon for ~$75, I JUMPED on it. In fact, I have purchased four of them so far! My 5 star review is contingent upon you getting a good lamp from the get. Things you want to look for immediately: 1) Liquid is CLEAR, not cloudy, and 2) No pinholes/white specks/spots on the glass. You will need to turn the lamp on before you can tell if it has either of these problems. It's important that you wait at least 24hrs from the time you bring the lamp inside before turning it on and running it for the first time. This gives the lamp time to come to room temperature and for the liquid to settle. I also HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend using a dimmer -- make sure whatever kind you buy is the correct rating for the type of bulb used in this lamp (at least 100watts). I've been using the Lutron Credenza plug-in dimmer for my lamps and it works great. Using a dimmer allows you to control the flow of the lamp, as the Grandes tend to get too warm once they really get going. Also, controlling the flow with a dimmer allows you to play with the flow of the wax. Turn it down to get columns and slower moving larger shapes, turn it up to get faster, fewer, and smaller wax balls. It's so much fun! Now, like I said, my 5 star review is assuming you get a perfect lamp -- clear liquid with no glass imperfections -- like the first picture I've attached to this review. This is the first of my four lamps, and it's definitely the best one I received. Crystal clear liquid and beautiful, perfect glass. The flow is great, it columns into really cool shapes when it's first warming up. Once it's warmed up and flowing well, the wax is opaque and stretchy, so no matter what stage the lamp is at it's doing cool things and looking beautiful. My second picture is of the second of the four lamps I received -- the wax performs beautifully, no complaints there, but the lamp arrived with slightly cloudy liquid that hasn't cleared up despite a couple weeks of cycling (the recommended method for dealing with cloudy globes). Because the glass is perfect and the flow is so awesome, I decided to just keep it. Since I have a super clear one I don't mind keeping this as a backup. My third and fourth lamps -- well, the third one is super clear but has some scattered pinholes/glass imperfections (looks like white specks in the glass) so that's not ideal. Since I can turn the globe to hide them, I decided to just keep it. Now the fourth one I had to send back for an exchange because of HOW MANY glass imperfections there were. They were just absolutely littering the entire globe, as seen in picture 3. There was no turning the globe to hide them, they were spread throughout the entire globe. Not to mention that the liquid was also really cloudy, even more so than my second one. So if you get a "bad one" don't be afraid to exchange it. I think Lava Lite's quality control isn't the greatest since moving production overseas so you may have to give it a couple tries before you get a good Grande. If you do manage to get a clear Grande with a good quality globe, and put the lamp on a dimmer, you won't be disappointed -- because of the size of these lamps the wax has the ability to do some really cool things. The way the wax columns when it's heating up is SO COOL, and once it gets flowing and the wax gets all stretchy, it's mesmerizing to just sit there and watch it. Very meditative. If the other colors ever come back in stock I'll definitely be getting at least one of each!
