I have purchased 2 Illumibowls. I thought I had done something wrong until I found this page. They don't last very long and will not take battery replacements. The light goes dim very quickly and a battery replacement doesn't work. I have not contacted the company and after reading this I feel there is no need. Bed Bath and Beyond is no longer carrying this product in their stores I found out today when I went to purchase another one glad I couldn't find.
