Dual Global Garden Wind Spinners

Gave this wind spinner as gift to my brother for Christmas. He put it together with ease. He placed it outside just in time for a high wind storm warning with 50 + wind gust and it survived. He lives in the mountains and he and the deer and the bears are enjoying watching the spinner. Very nice.

I compared a lot of similar products before finally deciding on this one. I was looking for a wind spinner that spins in two directions and also has the color-changing solar light. One reason I decided on this one was because so many reviews raved about SteadyDoggy's excellent service. Fortunately, I didn't need to find out for myself. The package arrived very quickly, was very well packaged and all of the pieces were there, well-organized and in perfect condition. Also, the assembly instructions are very clear and simple; I had it assembled within about 10 minutes.

This is about my 5th wind spinner (my 2nd from SteadyDoggy), and I have never seen one that did NOT have to be balanced. I balanced this one easily by using sticky putty (the kind of stuff you put behind a picture to level it out) to attach a penny to the lightest side of each spinner. Then I colored the putty with a copper-colored Sharpie. It now spins very well in both directions.

Regarding the solar light: It worked immediately when I turned it on...it even lit up when I was carrying the wind spinner in my house.

Very first spinner I bought was a dud, so nervous about buying this one, but surprisingly pleased. There were two small problems, but still rating 5 stars since this works so much better than my first purchase. Pros: it looks great and spins easily. Cons, the solar ball is weak (but I'm asleep through most of the time that matters) and the two spinners were both a little off balance, making initial spin require more wind. I had a project with left-over neodymium magnets that solved this. Sort of like balancing a ceiling fan, I just added a few magnets to the upper-most blade on each spinner until each was balanced. It's now rare that I look out and don't have action! The jewels reflect the sun nicely in the morning, but at mid-day, they don't add much to the appearance. Bang for the buck is nice, so do recommend for anyone else who gets tickled by wind-spinners in the landscape.

I gave this as a gift to my friend for her birthday. She loved it! Perfect in her beautiful back yard.

Ordered this as a gift. Didnt realise it comes flat and you have to bend it. Was very nervous I would break it, but did not. It is beautiful hanging outside and works wonderfully!!
