It can spin for about 30 seconds or so would be my best guess. **Q: Is Vertical Outer ring welded properly or has gap which produces vibration and noise at high speed?** A: The vertical outer ring is not welded together, and it does make a loud noise at high speeds. However, the small gap makes it easier to fix if the spinning piece falls out. **Q: Does it come with the stand** A: Yes it does. It is black, not red. **Q: Does the gyroscope include the string ?** A: Yes, the string is included, but any strong, thin string would work. What is disappointing to me is the quality of the construction which is not at a par with similar gyroscopes manufactured in the past. The gyroscope I received works, but barely, and has an unstable vibration that greatly diminishes the spinning time and strength of the gyroscopic effect. The frame that encircles the spinning wheel has a break in it, supposedly for stability adjustment, but the fact is the precision and quality reflect the low price. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ not fancy , but works *by U***1 on 3 December 2025* the item looks cheap , but it's in perfect blance ### ⭐ Review *by M***L on 11 December 2015* Broke after just three weeks. It may look like the old school gyroscopes of Gen X childhoods, but it's certainly not as sturdy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***2 on 27 May 2025* Bought for my fiancé for Valentine’s Day. Works perfect and is a good size. It’s self explanatory on how to use but comes with instructions. The price is good and it spins perfectly and for a long time. It’s not loud like some others I have seen. ## Frequently Bought Together - Original TEDCO Gyroscope Nostalgic Spinning Science Toy - The Original Slinky Walking Spring Toy, 2.75-inch Diameter Metal Slinky, Fidget Toys --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/257096417-tedco-original-gyroscope-nostalgic-pak](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/257096417-tedco-original-gyroscope-nostalgic-pak) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
