Exactly what I wanted
I’m new to spinning and have only spun on a spindle. I wanted to try a wheel and this one looked like a good starting point. While I have nothing to compare it to, it’s everything I wanted it to be. Instructions were a little confusing since I have never used or built a wheel before and didn’t know the names of the parts. But I was able to manage. The wheel itself is fairly straight forward to use and spins smoothly.

Spins like a dream
I tried various wheels, and this one was not only the cheapest, but also the smoothest and easiest to use by far! I love the huge bobbins, how it folds up, and how easy it is to treadle and spin on this wheel. I learned spinning from YouTube, you can do it!

Compact, easy to work with.
As was looking for a low-priced spinning wheel to be used for plying very fine yarn, like sewing thread and other yarn of similar size. After a few trial and error, after watching some videos on the internet, I finally succeeded in plying my yarns. I have a huge quantity of sewing threads and very fine merino wool to work with in the future.
