My 12yr old loves it... Made a hat in 10min which would have taken 3-4hrs by hand.

this is a sturdy little machine that is easy to operate and creates great results. The turning handle controls the speed of knitting and the stitches are balanced and equal. Easy to get started (watch some YouTube tutorials) and can produce projects quickly with excellent results.

I have ordered and returned this product 3 times now! When it works it turns out beautifully knitted products but eventually for no reason, it will start dropping or missing stitches which results in huge holes in your work. I've done research looking for fixes for this product but nothing works, I keep hoping the next knitting machine i receive will have the kinks worked out but I havnt found a good one yet.

Good fast Honest delivery from Amazon very happy with my little Rabbit machine. Managed to get a row counter from Amazon too but was from USA I think

The spinning is not smooth and the teeth catch on the yarn since the surface is not smooth...

So I have read some reviews about needles breaking, and the biggest thing is not to force the machine to knit. Best thing to do is check the tension and when your knitted project is going down, Pull knitted part that is done down and will help the machine to run more smoothly. I noticed if I start to feel like it’s not wanting to go I move back a tiny bit and then turn the crank. There are also two settings, one for tube and one for a straight piece. In that case, if the straight piece is on, you have to turn the dial the opposite direction in order for it to move. This machine works a lot better on surfaces that have good suction. I had a lot of fun with this machine and it took me about 20 minutes to make one hat 130 lines.

Like me, you may have read some negative reviews about this machine that might have you thinking twice about whether you should purchase it.After some research, I decided to go ahead and purchase it to see if it would work for me. I have a lot of Christmas projects that I'd normally hand stitch, but this year I have extras that I need to get done in a short amount of time.I checked out some other names - Addi and Sentro are the two biggest brands for circular knitting machines. Addi is the more professional looking one, and is way more expensive, but is probably built more solid. Sentro works just like Addi, only is less expensive and the parts are all sturdy plastic. With proper care, I don't see why this wouldn't last for a good long time. Not everyone can afford an expensive knitting machine, so for quick and easy projects, this is probably the best bang for your buck.Some reviews mentioned that the machine isn't stable, that it slides around. Another person submitted a video of hers not cranking well. I've read all about the dropped stitches, and what a piece of junk it is but it seems to work pretty well for me.There are many videos available to teach a person how to use this machine, and there are many patterns out there, too - it's amazing what you can make with it.After playing around with my machine and getting to know it, I discovered a few little things that I think everyone ought to know about the machine before they purchase it or before they use it, and I think that for the most part, these may clear up any question of whether this machine is worth the price.1. Worsted weight (4oz) yarn is probably the best size for this machine. Smaller weights work great, but heavier ones may be an issue.2. Soft, silky or satiny yarns are the best ... BUT ...3. Yarn that isn't silky or satiny - is kind of coarse - still works great if you don't try to rush through your project, and you can actually use parafin wax squares for canning to do this - simply take a square of the wax and put a hole in the center of it - maybe use a hot screwdriver or something, to make it easier. So place the square on it's side, feed the yarn through it before feeding it through the tension and threader. This is not a requirement, but it might be a big help. Also, Amazon sells yarn wax: https://amzn.to/47ePMlU4. Make sure your knitting machine is on a flat, non-porous surface for the best stability. If you have a wood table, it'll still work but it might not be as stable. If you have a marble cutting board that's big enough to fit under all four legs of the machine, that might work pretty well. Formica, tile, glass all work well. If your table is tiled, just make sure that you don't try to affix the machine's legs to the tile seams, is all, or any uneven part of the surface of the tile, such as where there is beveling.5. Wipe the bottom of the suction cup feet with a wet (not dripping, but more than damp) cloth before affixing the machine to your flat surface. It will hold better, and is less likely to slide around as you use it.6. Watch your tension - too loose or too tight will cause your stitches to bunch up or drop. If the yarn is too loose it can get caught in the needle mechanism and will cause the machine to not want to go forward. DO NOT FORCE IT. If you do, you risk breaking the inside mechanism that causes it to work, and you'll find that you are dropping stitches or that your machine doesn't work smoothly, if at all. If your stitch gets stuck, then slightly crank the opposite direction just enough to loosen the yarn so that you can correct the issue then proceed forward. WARNING: If you crank backwards too far, you'll end up resetting the stitch counter back to "0". So always keep track of how many rows you have, just in case.7. COOL HACK: Since heavier yarns tend to drop stitches more easily, I discovered that adding a weight helps with that. I had a glass round covered casserole dish that broke years ago and I kept the lid for some reason. Once my project in the knitting machine was long enough (about 30 or so rows), I bunched up the bottom end of it then set the round casserole dish lid on top. The glass lid is the perfect weight to pull the project down enough to keep the stitches in place. Every 30 or so rows, I would carefully rebunch my project and put the lid back on. The lid is large enough to sit on top of the project evenly, but small enough to completely fit inside the circular area without hindering the work. Any glass or ceramic round thing that's not too heavy might work well - maybe an old dessert plate, too - as long as it has a little weight to it.I also noticed that the added weight helped the machine crank more smoothly.So hopefully those tips will address the complaints that others have had.My overall impression so far is that it is a great little machine for the money.If that changes, I'll be sure to come back and update my review, but I don't anticipate that will be the case.Enjoy your purchase!

I have always wanted a 48 pin machine, thought I had researched information on them, this is a step up to wanting an ADDI machine. the machine is fine, clicks a lot and some yarns don't work on it, (thicker yarns don't work) don't go to fast on it, skipping stitches and dragging slow. I will work with it. Giving it and me a chance to improve on what I make, read alot on what to do for slipped stitches and the clicking noise. I get tired of the problems and go back to my looms then look at it again and start over on a project.
