Fabulous Spinner!
The media could not be loaded. Meticulously packaged, the Flybold wind spinner arrived in pristine condition. In about 5 minutes, it was ready to test in the wind!Unfortunately, one of the bearings was frozen. I cleaned it in WD40, and although a bunch of black gunk came out, it still wouldn't turn freely when re-lubricated.One email to Flybold describing the frozen bearing and I had a brand new spinner shipped to me. GREAT customer service! The second spinner is amazing- I LOVE the way the blue and purple vanes compliment each other.For those curious about direction, the two spinners mostly rotate in the same direction, but on occasion they will spin opposite each other. It REALLY does depend on wind direction and speed!For those curious about the sturdiness of the pole, the spinner is still firmly in the ground after a 50 mph windstorm. We did assure that all three legs were buried underground, which took softening up the sun baked soil with water as they suggest, and a fair amount of force.

Sturdier than most
I live in a windy area and wasn't sure one of these spinners would hold up well. I've compared this one to various ones around town and this seems sturdier than most. The post is thicker and the three point stake helps with balance. Also, it's beautiful! I love it!

Absolutely LOVE it...BUT....
I absolutely loved/love this wind spinner. I've had it for 4 months now, through the "rainy season" here in Florida. I placed it so I can see it out my living window, and I love watching it spin. Until yesterday. I looked out and noticed it wasn't spinning, despite a light breeze blowing. I went out to investigate, and besides the 3 tiny treefrogs that were on it, I noticed that the bearings were covered in rust!! I mean...a LOT of rut! I removed one of the blades and brought it in. WD'd it, let it sit over night, and posted a question here. I asked if the bearing could be replaced. I got 3 answers in only a few minutes. One simply answered, "Yes". The other two talked about the spinner, but no answer to my question.This is my first such repair, so I wasn't versed in the process. I discovered there a large C clip holding the bearing in place. I don't have the specialized tool for this, so I used 2 small needle nose pliers, and eventually got it out. Then I wiped down the bearing and measured it. Again, no special tools, just a transparent 1' ruler with metric on one side. I got roughly 30mm(OD) X 10mm(ID) X 9mm wide. Jumped on Amazon, found a set of 6200-2RS Double Rubber Seal Bearings 10x30x9mm, 4 each, for $7. Read a few reviews, and most were doing exactly what I was doing...fixing a wind spinner or wind mill. I ordered them and they're supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'll update soon to let you know if they worked.Update 9/24/21: The above bearings are a perfect fit, and work very well. The biggest challenge is the snap ring. It must be squeezed together to make it smaller in order to remove and reinstall it. They're typically spread apart to be installed.

Sturdy windspinner. Works well, easy to assemble.
Yup! This hit all the right marks. Sets up very easy. The base is sturdy enough to win the battle getting it in the ground with some wacks from my soft hammer. I soaked the ground with some water and the main pole stepped in nicely. The second set of base prongs had to be persuaded by hammer around some @#÷% rocks that defied my foot pressure. The prongs won the battle with honors. The spinner works perfect. The pole is perfect for the spinner load. The flower nut that holds on the blade wheel on the shaft, sits crooked on the nut. So careful about assembly trying to get the flower parallel to the blade. That drives a guy like me crazy. But it is tightened well and everything works just fine.

Broke apart within 2 months!!
The media could not be loaded. Been on search for sturdy, nice/quality spinners for a while now. Ordered this one and another design from same company (2nd one is to arrive tmrw) based on other positive reviews. It Is Perfect for what we needed and expectations.Assembly extremely easy, fast, and spins effortlessly....in fact, in video I'm sitting on back deck and don't feel Any wind- yet ya see it as shown = spinning.Just make sure to install it on level ground and just hand-tighten snuggly so as not to over-tighten.***UPDATED (errr- Downdated I guess?)...from 5 stars to 1. This is about the spinner itself Not the seller as they handled my issue promptly.After a couple weeks I noticed (heard at 1st) the blades were becoming wobbly. Checked to make sure connections were snug but not overly so. Fast fwd some more weeks and problem progressively worsened. 2 blades ultimately broke off, then the whole center piece broke apart as shown in pics- making the spinner utterly useless.This and another one I bought manufactured by a different company were Not left out in high winds etc. The other one is still running Perfect with no quality issues whatsoever.Upon messaging seller with pics here on AMZ, they promptly issued a refund within 24 hrs with no hassle etc. So at least That was a very positive experience.

Excellent Wind Spinner
I've bought different kinds of wind spinners and this one is by far the best. I bought it in February 2020 and today, January 2022, is still spinning like new. All the other ones didn't last six months. This one is the best. I recommend it 100%.

WIND SPINNERS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING FEEBLE SUPPRT AND THE SPINNERS NOT WORKKING."WOW" THIS ONE IS STABLE AND BOTH SPINNERS ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION. PURPLE AND BLUE ARE NOT EVERYONES COLOUR COMBINATION BUT I MUST SAY THAT IT IS A BIG COMPLIMENT TO OUR GARDEN.

Flybold Spinners - Unhappy
No estoy feliz. Porque llego la caja sin la bolsa chiquita de plastico que normalmente tiene el instrucctivo y las dos tuercas. Entonces no podemos ensamblar, no podemos usar. Perdimos dos mil pesos.

Does not last long
The unit only lasted two summers. Bearings in fan unit just fell apart. Very nice unit when it worked
