When you get around to wiring in a plug for this critter, stand back when you plug it in! It scared the crap out of me jumping to life as it vibrated across the garage floor.NOTE: Read thru all the reviews until you get to the guy who shared as to how to wire it. The color codes for Chinese wiring is NOT what you think it is. Either read that review or look it up on the internet for their wiring color code. Oh and it works great!

This review is about these motors in general as I now have four of them. The orientation of the motor can have a significant effect. My motor was drawing twice the amperage and wattage that it was supposed to and was running badly. I altered its orientation and it changed the draw to far closer to spec.

These are just minor annoyances:Biggest complaint is the non-standard wiring (at least for the US): yellow w/green strip for ground, Brown for positive/load, blue for negative/neutral.Also no plug end on the wiring, so I had to go out & buy a NEMA 5-15P connector.Power cord is less than 5 feet, 8 to 10 feet would be much better.... This also has a small molded-in-place capacitor box inline on the power cord, so replacing the cord with a longer cord is not as straight forward as I would like. It would have to be spliced in before the capacitor instead of direct wired to the motor.All these combined were only 1 star off IMO. The unit works as expected, though time will tell as far as durability is concerned.

Purchased in Feb 24'. Mounted this little machine on a 2x6x10 and attached a wire to the end of an old extension cord. I was surprised at how deep and quick the vibrations were. I was always using an old vibration sander to try and vibrate small concrete pours, especially along wood forms. Since I was pouring a 8x20 pad out back in the cattle area, I tried this. Works great. Hope it holds up long term. Will update again in May 24' with third pad.

I bought this to vibrate a tray with a mesh on the bottom so I could separate dirt from pea gravel to reduce weed growth. For that application, it vibrates well as long as you suspend the frame from ropes. If it is placed on top of a wheelbarrow, it makes a lot of noise and doesn’t work as well.

I used this with a speed controller to tone down the 60W power for my concrete mold casting table. In hindsight I probably would have been fine with a 30W unit and no speed controller.

Used this for a shaker on a screen that I made to grade topsoil. Provides lots of vibration for the screening. Really shakes for a little motor. I actually had to adjust it back a little.

EDIT: Reached out directly to Fast Solder and explained the issues with the first unit, and they shipped a second replacement unit that is in good working order! It seems to work relatively well, however it has some issues. The weights are meant to be accessible and adjustable, however on my unit the cover is jammed on so this cannot be accessed. An even bigger issue is that in my unit the strain relief is improperly installed, and this will quickly allow the wires to deteriorate with the vibration. Finally, for some reason THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR REPLACEMENTS ON THIS ITEM, and I can't find out why on amazon which is a bit frustrating.

I ordered two of them for a project both 100 watts. One works great smooth as butter. The other has a couple of problems. A bad bearing right of the box. Not big deal they are cheap enough right here on amazon. They are a 628z if you want to be prepared. The biggest issue is the windings rubbed and scarred the inner drum. I made some clearance very gingerly with a stone. I'll see how that works out in the long run I guess. Another issue is I bought two both 100 watts and the good one has heavier counter weights than the other. That's a problem if your project requires similar vibe power out of two motors. All this would be ok if they allowed returns but sadly that's not an option on this one. Good luck. It looks like a 50/50 chance.Update May 9 2022. They both run for a few minutes everyday and still holding up after a year. I added a star for that even though I had to repair one.

It works good, just too small for my application.. 6 tonne of Salt in a 250 bushell gravity wagon. It does rattle the bin, and moves some salt. It's just not a big enough vibrator to be really effective on something this size.. a few sizes bigger would have been perfect. I would say it would be excellent for smaller applications.

I built a 4x8 foot sifter out of 2x3's and hardware cloth that I set an angle, hoping that I could throw compost onto it and let gravity do the work of sifting the compost as it slid down my sifter ramp. Unfortunately, gravity alone did nothing, the compost just sat on my slide without moving. I then jimmy-rigged an old drill into a sort of vibrating motor. It worked great! But then it burnt up. Since I proved the concept of a vibrating element worked well, I bit the bullet and bought the 30W version of this vibrating motor. It was much too weak, didn't work for my large sifter. I then got the next cheapest option, which for some reason was this 90W motor. It's fantastic! It's quieter and much more effective than my hacky drill solution. It hums along nicely and sifts lots of compost and wood chips quickly. The chips dance nicely on the hardware cloth, sifting out the fine elements while the larger discard things easily move down the slide and out of the way.
