In this review we will explore everything about the ROMPA Wi Fi LED Cube.
Disclaimer: Rompa sent our son this Wi Fi LED Cube so we can review it.
Recently we have caught the attention of ROMPA as they follow both our website and facebook group, they are aware that many of the people in our facebook group also love ROMPA sensory equipment, they decided to send us the ROMPA Wi Fi LED Cube for our son to play with and for us to review.
We’ve given it a good few weeks to really test it and our son has played with it everyday so far. It has passed all of the Edwin tests (sliding it around, throwing it around, easy to turn off and on by himself, being drooled on, using it as a food table etc). When things survive they Edwin tests they are definitely keepers!
The measurements are 40 x 40 x 40 cm, not too big and not too small, it weights around 5kg, light enough for our son to push it around the house to wherever he wants to use it.
It’s made out of hard plastic with a nice grainy feel to it so its easy to grip, the plastic is very sturdy, our son stacks thing on it, climbs on it, throws it about and sometimes eats off of it. ROMPA tends to make very strong sensory equipment that lasts years so we aren’t surprised at how much abuse this cube can put up with, and that’s a VERY good thing as you don’t want to constantly be replacing everything all the time.
The plastic makes for a brilliant diffuser of light, colours are even all over the cube, you cant see a source or anything, it just looks like the cube is glowing all over, which is great!
Soon after the cube arrived our son came up with a brilliant idea, he started putting his lightbox toys on top and watching the light come through them, what a little genius! This cube makes for a great light box as shown here:
The cube has a big red button on the bottom, push once to turn on, and once to turn off, our son can do it even though he has dexterity problems.
The cube has an internal rechargeable battery, battery seems to last forever, since it arrived about two months ago we’ve only charged it twice, but have used it at the end of the day every day!
The colours are very vivid and bright, perfect for children with special needs to help visual processing and colour recognition.
Speaking of colours, the wifi cube changes to many different colours, But you can change the colours yourself by using a wifi controller, we use this one. The switches work with all our WIFI enabled ROMPA equipment. You can read our review of the ROMPA Deluxe 8 Colour Wirefree Controller here.
You dont need to set anything up, just turn the cube on with the big button, press any button on the WIFI controller and the lights change colour, or you can just leave it go through its colour cycle.
Here is a video of the Wifi cubes colour cycle then the wifi controller changing the colours of the cube wirelessly:
Everything can be changed to the same colour at the same time as long as its compatible with ROMPA’s wifi controller, as can be seen in this video:
You can even control everything with the ROMPA Talking WIFI cube as seen in this video (our son did the names of the colour himself!):
If you have the money, I highly recommend this WIFI LED Cube. Our son has been so happy with his ROMPA equipment, as long as ROMPA keep pumping out quality equipment and keep up their fantastic customer service, I’ll keep buying.
