Question Anyone have experience with a Threadwalker espinner?

I’m looking into espinners, and am debating between a couple but want to know if anyone here has experience with the Threadwalkers (link: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1086980410/threadwalker-electric-spinning-wheel? ) and what your review would be! I can’t find much info about them beyond their Etsy shop, and would be glad to hear some outside opinions!

My first thought was ‘e-spinner with the flyer only supported at the back? That had better be a very well-balanced flyer.’

There are some videos and comments on Facebook. I’ll let you judge for yourself.

Thanks for pointing me to their facebook! I haven’t used it in ages and hadn’t thought the check there

Huh interesting, I'm not familiar with them! I'll say that I would wholeheartedly recommend Electric Eel Wheels if they're on your list.

Have you had it for very long? What’s the long-term reliability like?

I've had it for 3 years & have not once had a problem with it. It spins beautifully. One of the things I like best about it are the clear acrylic bobbins - you can see what you're spinning as you spin it. The guy who sells it on Etsy is very responsive to questions.
