Pros & Cons
Pros
It's great for confounding children and adults alike. Nice brushed finish. This scientific curiosity needs to be seen to be believed.
A rattleback top that likes to spin anti-clockwise. It's a realistic and dramatic motion that can be easily exploited.
The harder and smoother the spinning surface is, the better it works. Works best on a hard smooth surface, especially glass or a polished stone counter.
Seems to be stainless steel. It feels sturdy, heavy and well-built.
Cons
It has a very large scratch right on the top.
Highlights
Quality
The weight of the metal presents well and enables it to spin for a long time on a flat surface
This is very cool and well made
I dont know what its made of the description says metal alloy so i assume its not aluminum or something
Some other reviewers say this is steel but it is very lightweight and nonmagnetic so i suspect it is aluminum
Price
A great value for an educational toy
Not cheap but you get what you pay for
Packaging/appearance
He was amazed to receive one this beautiful and smooth

Gave it to my mit scientist spouse and she said it was obvious that the bottom was slightly asymmetric but said it would take too long to explain the math to me

Still havent figured out the physics

I love the look of shock when people see me spin it and it goes on forever and when i let them try it not only stops but then rotates in the reverse
