WinWindSpinnerKinetic Wind Spinners Outdoor Metal Yard Spinner with Gardening Decorations with Dual Direction Decorative Lawn Ornament Wind Mills (WWR-018)

I now have two of these, and they both function perfectly.

I really enjoy this wind spinner. I had a very similar one for several years, but a recent thunderstorm destroyed it. I was happy to find this nearly identical spinner as a replacement on Amazon for less money than I had paid for the original. So far, I am delighted with this new spinner.The instructions that ship with the unit are vague assembly diagrams. However, I do have a few tweaks that I made to mine to help it spin better and withstand exposure to the elements longer.I achieved the best spin with the least wind, by allowing a small amount of play in the bearings. To do this, I installed the inner hex nut that holds the spinner in place backed off about 1/16 turn from touching the bearing. I then install the outer hubcap and then tighten the acorn nut down firmly to hold it in place. Also, the best spin in a light breeze occurs when the entire top can easily rotate to point the blades directly into the wind. To allow a light breeze to turn the head, I applied some wheel bearing grease to the top section of the pole before mounting the head onto the pole. (This grease might need to be cleaned and replaced once in a while.) With the grease in place on the pole, the slightest breeze can orient the head to point into the wind which helps to start the blades spinning sooner. Finally, the unit that I received looked like the blades had flattened out a bit during shipping. Being very careful not to break the unit, I gently put a very slight twist (only a couple of degrees) in the blades to get form a little more of a fan blade or propeller shape. You can see from my video, it spins quite nicely.I also protect my yard art from rust and fading by applying a rust-proof clearcoat spraypaint in either matte or semi-gloss. I then follow up a few days later with a coat of clear UV resistant sun guard spray. Nothing lasts forever, but this seems to help my spinner collection survive the elements a little longer, and it helps to delay fading or rusting.All in all, this is an excellent spinner for the price.

This wind spinner is gorgeous! We have one in the front yard and one in the back. They add a pop of color to our flower gardens. We get lots of compliments too!

This is the best. It's so beautiful and catches the wind in any direction. This has also helped to keep the birds out of my garden. Win win!

This is such a delightful beauty "Wind Spinners for Yard Garden - It is up and spinning and I can't help myself! I keep running outside to see this marvelous yard art at work. This purchase was a great one. KP
