I have an electric yarn winder and I had a lot of issues in winding some yarn on it. The biggest issue was keeping it running because it went way too fast and caused its own set of problems. Even working through those problems like going so fast the skein couldn't keep up or the other methods just didn't work, what I ended up with was very loose and hardly held any yarn to it.I have mobility issues and can tell you that this cranking yarn winder is much easier for me to us and the cake is denser, holding much more yarn in a small cake. I did have the tension arm staying up as an issue, but a couple of clothes pins at the base helped that issue. I had a better time winding it by hand than trying to keep up with a machine that would jump and wind below the whole thing toward the gears and constantly seizing it up and having to be freed. Overall, I'd choose this one with a tension arm issue over that electric one. It's going in storage as a backup to the old crank style.

Worked great for a few months but overtime it as started to bend on the metal pole that holds the yarn. So, not super durable but worked for my needs. Compact size makes it easy to store. Red and tan color and shown. Will be ordering a different one soon, thinking electric.

It's okay. I just don't like the latch for the table it doesn't open that much... so if your table side is thicker then half a inch too bad. The quality is kinda flimsy so I don't know how long it will last. It was easy to assemble. You have to hold the yarn kinda tightly for the yarn to cake right I'd you don't the yarn will go under and clog the machine I spent 5 minutes to unkot and unclog the gears. The spinning pull rub burn your hand alittle bit since you have to hold it so what tightly. Sorry for the long review

You've never known ASMR like this before. Though don't go too fast or you won't catch mistakes!

This is a very economical ball winder. I needed a new one for my Christmas knitting, and I found this one at a good price for the task at hand. My only difficulty with it is that the steel wire that's meant to keep the tension often wiggles out of place mid-winding, but I genuinely can't complain, the important thing is it winds up quickly and makes a nice center-pull cake.
