It only updates every half hour or so. Other than that it's great. My husband keeps it in his work truck so he can follow the market even when he's not in the office. In this market it would be nice if it updated more frequently.

I purchased two Ambient Orbs. One was faulty, and they replaced it with no problems.
One worked perfectly for a long time (doesn't seem to be working, now), and the other worked on the middle light intensity, but not on high or low intensity. Then I dropped it and broke it (about 6 months ago).
Had them for years, but don't use them now.

This item is not as described. The Ambient Orb, which I intended to purchase, is currently unavailable. The Market Maven is a different product from the one described in the item description. Returned for refund!
