Beats putting up tons of hanging lights and makes my grandson happy to see all the twinkling lights spinning all around the house and garage. It has awesome range and covers our entire house and garages. It takes up one little spot in the corner of the grass and comes on when the sun goes down and starts to get dark. The green and red lights are pretty as they come together and then burst apart as if holly were all over the place. Startastic is a good brand, we’ve had ours for many years and that’s why we bought this one for our children’s home. It’s low maintenance and I recommend it for anyone who still loves to show holiday spirit but can’t deal with all the hassle of traditional lights.
