I love this. It’s very quiet. So easy to put together. So easy to link to your phone & control. There are so many different beautiful patterns to choose from once you download the app to your phone, then it automatically links to your drift, (your phone has to be close to your drift to link) then you click on it & go searching for your favorites to download. I love that I can set a pattern playlist, I can also control the speed. I also love the mix of colors. This is a perfect gift for someone who enjoys relaxing & watching beauty come to life. **I wouldn’t suggest it be in reach of children younger than school age who could bump it, knock it over, or break the glass top.

After much thought I decided to treat myself and see if this product was as relaxing as the reviews stated. It is!! Not only is it very calming, it is a great piece of art that you can program pictures for different holidays. You can also control the lighting to switch between your choice of colors , one solid color or no light at all. Also, so may patterns to pick from!

I allready had one drift and i liked it so much i bought 2 more to give to my adult twin sons.im just fascinated by these and everyone who visits my home is as well.

Very relaxing to watch. Also a great conversation piece display in the living room.

I was on the fence about reviewing the HoMedics drift table, but after having it for a week I have a few things to say about it, so let’s get into it. My first thought about the table was of course why anyone would pay the asking price for something that seems useless. The table doesn’t do anything but draw patterns that you pick via your phone on sand using a small ball. How will this enhance my well-being or bring me happiness and tranquility? Well, the long and short of it is that this table does something unique and quite well. Setting up the drift is pretty easy. You get a bag of sand with the 16inch unit, a sand rake, a ball, a glass top, and of course the bowl. Pour the sand into the bowl, rake it a bit to spread it out evenly, put the ball on the table and place the glass on top. That’s it, now you’re ready to plug it in and download the drift app to control it. Once you get the app set up on your phone, you’ll be able to download different patterns and playlists of patterns as well as have the ability to adjust the LED brightness, LED colors, and speed of the ball. Pairing your phone app with the table is pretty straightforward, except that on my iPhone the device shows up as “KSXXXXXX” unlike on my wife’s Android phone where it does come up as a HoMedics drift table. Only one device can be connected to the unit at a time and you’ll have to choose the table every time you launch the application. I’ve also received several “app updates” which are firmware updates to the table. I’m not sure what they’ve done as no notes are provided, but I’m assuming they are patches to fix bugs, etc. Once you pick a pattern or a playlist, the little ball goes to work making it. You can hear the ball rolling through the sand at medium speed if you’re in a quiet setting. Turn up the speed to 100% and the unit definitely emits some noise, but it’s neither too loud nor distracting. I’ve heard some complaints about the noise, but in my setting, it’s hardly noticeable. Watching the pattern being created is uniquely satisfying and being able to pick from so many different patterns is a plus. Choosing from patterns such as fractals, flowers, spiral designs, and even holiday-themed patterns is a great addition to an already mesmerizing experience. The finished sand drawing is very intricate and extremely accurate, which seems to surprise me every time. While there are many designs to choose from, I would love to see HoMedics continue to add designs and playlists to enhance the user experience. This table is what I’d consider a luxury item, but in the right setting and for the right person that appreciates the soothing relaxation that a device like this can bring, the HoMedics drift may be well worth the investment. This unit is currently sitting on my coffee table and looks at home there with its black finish and colorful lighting. I’m positive that this device would complement any living room, office, or waiting room and will turn some heads and be a conversation piece wherever it’s placed.
