Best Lava Lamps of 2025

"I absolutely love the unusual colors of my lava lamp! The liquid is almost a turquoise blue, and the wax is a deep violet. Watching it warm up, I see these cool distortions in the glass that remind me of the Northern Lights. It may not be as bright as other colors, but it looks awesome!"

"After plugging in my replacement lamp for just a few hours, I was thrilled to see it working great! It has a super cute design and works perfectly now. I'm really glad I gave it a second chance!"

"I was really excited to gift this lava lamp, but unfortunately, it came with a burnt bulb. Even after replacing it, the gel has stopped floating and just sits at the bottom. I wish I had the chance to return it before the window closed."

"I bought this lamp as a gift for my daughter, but the first one was cloudy right out of the box. Despite following the instructions, we couldn't clear it up. Thankfully, the return process was really easy, and we got a replacement without any hassle."

"After reading mixed reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I found it works just as expected, but I did need to wait hours for it to heat up. Maybe some negative feedback comes from not being patient. Mine is functioning beautifully and looks great!"

"Initially hesitant because of negative feedback, I had a minor issue when the light bulb blew right after plugging it in. Instead of going through the hassle of a replacement, I ordered a pack of bulbs. After a few cycles, the liquid became clear, and the wax started flowing nicely. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase!"

"I bought this as a gift for my grandson, and he absolutely loves it. It looks great in his room."

"I had a lava lamp as a kid, and I remember it eventually stopped melting properly. This one has been fantastic; it’s been on for a year without issues!"

"I thought this lamp would be an amazing birthday gift for my husband, but it stopped working just a few days after the return window. It’s disappointing, especially since my childhood lamp still works after 30 years!"

"I gave my grandkids Lava Lamps and told them they were part of their heritage from their hippyish grandparents. It was so much fun! My daughter still has our original one from 1968, a wedding gift. Thanks for such a fun product!"

"I was really looking forward to my new Lava Lamp, but I’m quite disappointed. The movement is very sluggish and the liquid is cloudy. I thought it would clear up after a few days, but it hasn’t at all."

"I purchased this for my twin daughters' room makeover. It’s just like the one I had as a young man, with beautiful and bright colors. It looks just like the pictures. I highly recommend it!"

"I bought this glitter lamp and it made me a believer! It's absolutely stunning, and the quality is just as good as I expected from this company. The color gradient is lovely, and when the glitter circulates, it creates a relaxing pattern on the wall that exceeds my expectations. I appreciate that it only takes a minute or two for the glitter to start moving, a nice change from traditional lava lamps."

"I got this for my 7-year-old granddaughter, and she was thrilled! The moving glitter in those pretty colors is just beautiful, and I enjoyed it too. It's definitely a fun gift, especially for anyone who loves glitter!"

"I gifted this lamp as a Christmas present, but my daughter was disappointed to find out it isn’t a lava lamp. I feel a bit let down, especially since I spent nearly $50. It’s past the return window now, so I wish I had saved my money. Unless you just want lit up floating glitter, I wouldn't recommend it."

"I received my replacement really fast, like next day, and it works perfectly now. I’m giving it 2 stars for the initial issue."

"I absolutely love my Lava Lamp! It brings back memories from when I was younger. Sometimes, it's a bit finicky, but turning it off and letting it cool down does the trick."

"This lamp adds some whimsy to my decor. My kids enjoy the emoji theme, and it runs for about 8 hours a day without any issues."

“After my original 38-year-old lava lamp stopped working, I decided to replace it. This new one works great, with just the right amount of light and enough lively movement to keep it interesting. I would definitely recommend it!”

“I bought this as a Christmas gift but tested it first. Unfortunately, it was defective; the blue was pretty, but the yellow was just a solid chunk of wax. I was relieved when the support team responded quickly with a simple solution.”

“The lamp is gorgeous and now works like magic after some support. However, I was disappointed that the new one isn’t as bright as I hoped; it’s only visible in complete darkness. It took way too long to heat up.”

"I was skeptical after reading mixed reviews, but I took a chance and ordered one of these lava lamps. Fortunately, mine works perfectly! No blemishes, the bulb works well, and the lava flow is fantastic. It looks even better in person! I highly recommend giving it a try!"

"I’ve had several lava lamps, and this one is visually stunning. It took a while to warm up initially, but once it started, I couldn't take my eyes off it. The movement is really captivating!"

"Unfortunately, my lamp only worked for two days before the lava stopped moving altogether. No matter how long I left it on, it just wouldn't flow. I'm really disappointed since it was a gift."

"I haven't opened my lava lamp yet since it's a gift, but the shipping was impressively quick! We ordered from you years ago and loved the lava lamp."

"This lava lamp is a big boy, and while it takes some time to heat up, it's incredibly satisfying to watch. The colors are vibrant and there are not many air bubbles in the wax, unlike my smaller unit. The build quality is excellent, and the packaging prevented any damage. Highly recommended!"

"I ordered this lava lamp hoping to find one like I had as a kid. This one is very bright and colorful, unlike the smaller one I bought elsewhere that was too dark. It does take a while to warm up, but that’s expected for a larger lamp. This is exactly what I was looking for! I would definitely recommend it."

“As a huge lava lamp fan, I was initially skeptical about this LED color-changing model, but it works great! It's such a cute little lamp, though I wish it could be turned on and off without the remote.”

“I found this lava lamp to be fun, but it loses water quickly. After just a few months, there's a large air bubble at the top, which worries my kids about preserving it.”

“I had a really bad experience when I plugged this in for the first time; the glass cracked near the base, and the contents spilled everywhere. The smell was awful, and I ended up just throwing it away.”
