I like the auto shut off feature. The "stars" are not really stars, they are just dots of colors. It would be nice to have different features, Different scenes, different colors. We only get red and green. Also, the stake that goes into the ground is not very sturdy. Push it to hard and it'll snappreciate. Overall, I don't really like it. If I bought it, I'd return it to the store because all the hype around this product is just that. Hype
