Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Easy enough to assemble. Looks great. Hardly blows since wind will hit it only if turned just right and then again, the wind direction changes all the time. Still a nice peice of sculpture.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It's huge and beautiful. Lovely gift for my mama. Xoxoxo

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The unmotorized spontaneous movement goes well in a natural environment. I enjoy mine in the garden.

Focal for center of large flower bed!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Bought this for my sister as a birthday present. [...]she loved it. She placed it at the top of a field where it would get an almost constant breeze. She loves watching it from her window and says it looks great. She can't wait to see it among her sunflowers. Adds to the beauty of her large property in Maine.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This wind spinner is the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is truly amazing.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

beautiful to look at, but requires quite a strong wind to get both side going at the same time

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Bought this for a mother's day gift and it was a huge hit! The only recommendation I have is to use WD-40 on the screws and holes, as they were really tight to screw in. Otherwise, assembly was simple. This is a really nice garden piece and I want one for my garden too! Love it and so does mom! Very pleased with this item.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Wonderful addition to my garden!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This has been a very fun addition to our flower garden. Everyone who visits loves it and it doesn't take much of a breeze to get it going. I think I will have to add a clear coat to prevent rust and keep it spinning but it's worth it. It takes two sets of hands to assemble.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It looks great;however it was out of balance and would not turn. I had to purchase lead tape to correct the fan so it would turn.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I think it would spin more if the post were stronger and didn't move. We plan to cement it in the ground and maybe add some rebar to the post. The design of the spinner is great and gets lots of attention from passersby. We are very pleased with it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We put this product in the back yard, because we sit back there often and could view it more. This was first purchased as a gift, but we liked it so much we finally bought one for ourselves. One hint: if your dahlia spinner is not spinning to your satisfaction, try bending the petals in another direction.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Expensive, and thought it would spin more in wind, but I like it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I've had this item for over a year now. I was greatly disappointed that it didn't spin even when very windy. It fell over once and lost one of the tines. Well recently I reattached the broken tine. Then decided that if I really wanted to get it to spin I needed to balance each segment. I found that one of the fans needed a penny attached close to the tip to attain perfect balance. The other side was faily well balanced. I got that side to spin by slightly bending the tines, like on a pinwheel, to better capture the wind. Now both sides spin even in a light breeze :)

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We've been having an especially windy spring, so I finally treated myself to this wind spinner. When we screwed the two pieces of the post together, there was a bit of an angle at the joint. We undid and redid this part of the process a few times, but it always ended up with an angle. So, a little muscle on my part was able to straighten it out (I was a little afraid I might break it). After that, it took some experimentation and twisting of the petals to get the spinner to spin, but it is working well now and we enjoy it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

VERY CHEAP SCREWS AND CHEAPLY MADE, GOOD CONCEPT, POOR DESIGN.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This product looks great and we get sufficient movement with moderate wind to make it mesmorizing to watch. The balance of the petals on the flower, which is key to it moving easily in the wind, was really good on one side and not as good on the other. However, it still looks great and works. One side just turns more easily than the other. [...]

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Assembly was difficult and time consuming. Welds holding together fins were sloppy and of poor quality. Threaded holes were not tapped and subsequently ruined the supplied screws.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We've tried everything - weights, bending and both petals won't work together. It still looks nice when one turns but it would be nice to have it work like it says it's supposed to. For the price, it should work.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It was easy to set up but I did have to bend the blades to get the best effect. Just be careful and bend very gently, grasping as much of the blade as you can with one hand with a twisting motion, sliding you hand down twisting gently as you go. Bend all blades on one side in the same direction. Turn it over and bend the other side, but in the opposite direction from the first side. Straighten out any bent tips.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Our wind spinner is in the backyard where it can be viewed from the deck or as we walk through the rose garden.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

My husband wanted a "classy wirly gig." I didn't think there was any such thing, but I found it in this! It really is great.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

With our winds though, it will need regular tightening as it tends to loosen itself at the first connection.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I ordered the Dahlia spinner despite all of the poor reviews just hoping MINE would work properly. We assembled and put it out in the garden today since there is a nice wind but it pretty much just sits there. Once in awhile one or the other of the blades moves slightly. If it's not moving today, it probably won't. Others say they have bent the blades but not sure what direction it means and others have used magnets or weights but am not sure where they should go or on how many blades. We might play with it some more or maybe just look at it. I should have known better but had high hopes. The blades are really flimsy and it makes me wonder if there is more than one manufacturer since some people mention how heavy theirs are. Mine certainly isn't. It's a great concept but for the price it's not made well. Gardener's Supply should do some quality control before selling these.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

A great product; exactly as described. Well made and easy to assemble. It's twirling in our back yard as I write this. Fun!
Did not come with instructions which required a separate phone call.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I bought this for a gift for my husband and we love it. We don't get a lot of wind in our area, but if there's a breeze, it spins freely and is fascinating to watch. Its a fun and unusual piece of yard art.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We set it up ~ kind of flimsy, doesn't rotate in the wind, hardly works unless wind is blowing right at it. Needs some modification and some new components to work correctly.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Moving garden sculpture - what could be better?!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun to watch. Adds functional interest to the yard/garden. Looks great alone, in any garden setting..........formal, informal , country , whatever.

Does not discourage or scare birds at a nearby feeder ...10 feet away.

Put some zing in the yard and treat yourself .......it is worth it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Great gift for people who enjoy Yard Art.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I had trouble with the first one and they got a replacement to fast. It had a balance problem and after some work I got it kinda in balance. Needs some quality work.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This item looks much like the photos, however it is not easy to set up, one of four had broken pieces when it arrived, and it functions poorly.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Perfect Christmas gift! Very sturdy, well made, and easy to assemble. We attached it, without the long rod, to a wooden beam on our back deck so we can enjoy it throughout the winter months from the comfort of the TV room, and will then place back on the long rod out in the yard near our campfire ring for enjoyment during the summer months.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Doesn't really spin as shown in video. One wheel spins, the other doesn't. Blades are very fragile and bend easily. Hubs for blade were rusted to shaft and the cap fell off of one trying to free it from rust.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

A very attractive product. I'm hoping that it may also help keep the deer from the garden (but it's a SMALL hope!).

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This is a great product if assembled correctly - took 2 days to figure out. Instructions are WRONG. Assemble it like the picture, NOT diagram #4 in instructions. Looking at it from the front the front spinner blades should be facing like this ( to spin to the left & the back one should be facing like this ). Step 6 is misleading; the arrows should point the same way, not head to head. The direction of the twist in the blades makes the difference. Now mine spins almost as good as the ribbon one. Love it!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I really love it, but it does not spin as much as I would like. When it does it really catches the eye.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Certainly less expensive than the artist created wind spinners I have so admired, but even after multiple placements in the garden, it doesn't spin all that freely "in the slightest breeze". Perhaps if it were designed to rotate to catch more wind and maximize wind power... my boyfriend may be able to jury rig a different base for this to allow that to happen. Does have a nice sturdy base to set up on.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I bought this item as a gift for someone who lives in a state where the wind doesn't blow as much as it does in Kansas!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This is one item that my wife wanted for Christmas and was pleased to receive it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We tried different locations but the blades hardly turn even when it blows hard. We have 2 small windmills that turn much better than the Dahlia.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Very unique look

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Attractive in Garden

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

i could sit and watch it all day and never tire of it. Very calming

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The dahlia spinner is in backyard in my sisters garden in Kansas where it is always windy.Her neighbors and friends always comment on the product and ask where product comes from.She smiles and says Gardeners Supply. Thank you for having such wonderful products.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

A wonderful and picturesque item and with a little care upon the installation, everything works perfect and looks great....

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I wanted something different for my front yard flowerbed. This fit the bill and is admired by all my neighbors. My 4 and 5 yr old grandchildren are total fascinated when it spins.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I PURCHASED THIS FOR ONE OF MY HUSBANDS CHRISTMAS GIFTS. HE HAD TO USE TIE DOWNS FOR STABILITY, HAD TO USE WEIGHTS ON THE BLADES BECAUSE THE BLADES WERE NOT CORRECTLY COUNTERED SO THEY WOULD NOT BOTH SPIN, JUST ONE SIDE, HENCE, HE USED MAGNETIC WEIGHTS TO GET BOTH SIDES TO SPIN. NOW, IT IS NICE TO SEE. BUT, THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO IMPROVE. [...]

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This is a very visually appealling product and is definitely a conversation starter. It is easy to assemble and place anywhere. Heed the advice about high wind areas. My only disappointment was the gage of the metal fins, I was hoping it would be thicker, but then again that would require even more wind to make it spin well, so it's a trade off. I still like it and recommend it. I have given as gifts and all have enjoyed and appreciated it!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

moved it around yard, tried on several occasions to adjust blades so that it would spin. wind is blowing shrubs and tree limbs, but this item just sways a little.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I USE THE SPINNER TO ADD INTEREST AND MOVEMENT TO MY GARDEN

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

looks cool but dosemt spin completely

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

gsrden decoration
still working on getting the blades balanced (yes, i read and followed unpacking insructions)
gets good comments from neighbors
i will enjoy it when i get it working right

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I do love watching it spin on a windy day

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This is a very attractive garden sculpture with lots of movement with good winds

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Pretty and easy to set up. One of the blades does not spin smoothly, no matter how much adjusting we did. A bit disappointing.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Love my spinner. The first one did not work; some parts had been improperly tooled at the factory. [...] Set it up in the middle of my raspberry patch, and it not only looks beautiful but it kept the birds away from the ripe berries. I live on the water and, while it does sway in a stiff wind, it has held up remarkably well. Look forward to years of enjoyment!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The dahlia wind spinner was a birthday gift for my oldest daughter. She is very happy with it and so I am happy too.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I use it in my front yard, looks good, but not the great spinner it should be

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

so unbalanced will never spin

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This product was most dissatisfying. It does not spin... have tried putting it in a different direction, but even in high winds, it just sits there.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

At first we thought we would be returning this spinner because it was not correctly balanced. My husband fussed with it for several days, and tried many different items to balance the rotating tines. Finally, he decided to try alligator clips (available at any office supply store) and voila! it no spins just as shown in the video!!Although this product is a little pricey I love the way it looks when spinning.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I placed the dalia in my backyard as to see it all the time. It's great even when there is no wind.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It makes a very attractive addition to one of our many gardens.
It doesn't spin. Not even when the wind exceeds 40MPH. I think it would spin if it were properly balanced. I may attempt to do so at some time but it's not a priority.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I was somewhat hesitant to make this purchase given the reviews but I'm glad that I did. I've tried many positions but it does best facing the wind however the fan in the back always spins a lot less than the one in front. It's on a lake and gets a good breeze most of the time. I've used WD 40 and fishing weights but that does not seem to help. However even with the front fan spinning the one in the back stationary it's still an attractive piece of garden art. When the second fan moves it's even better. I will continue to work on it but, as a gift for my wife, I hit a home run.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We haven't had enough wind to make both sides turn yet, but even when its not turning we get comments on how nice it looks.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

If you love wind spinners, this is a product for you. The designs that the spinner creates as it circulates are fanscinating. I could watch for hours, but occasionally there other things that have to get done.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Looks great but doesn't catch the wind as easy as I thought it would.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

My husband had admired wind sculptures for quite a while but I found the cost prohibitive- until I found yours. I gave it to him as an anniversary present and we both like it. The installation was a little more than we expected - it is lovely and a concrete base made it secure.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Love the look of it as it spins gently. Kind of hypnotic! Felt it was expensive, but thanks to a gift cerficate I was able to get it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

[...] When assembled, wouln't spin even with strong wind because the blades were out of balance. Tried switching the two blade sections with no improvement. After attaching almost two ounces of thin lead strips to key blades the two sides balanced and would then spin freely. Looks great in action.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The metal was warped in some areas but I used tools to re-mold parts. the screws provided were very poor quality and was not able to use all of them. Over all the sculputre turns only in more vigorus winds and typically only one side will turn and the other side will rock a little. A really well made wind sculputure costs $300-1000 so I suppose its a good deal for what you pay for it. I almost returned it but its nice just sitting there too. The pole that it sits on is also flimsy. It should be thicker as it sways in the wind and this I think affects the spinning capacity of the sulpture. If I saw it first, I would not have bought it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I live in an area on a canyon with 10 mile an hour winds. And lots of Santa Ana winds during late summer. Once I adjusted the blades it worked well in both directions . You need to bend them to catch the wind. Very pretty when it spins. I don't reccommend in non windy areas.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

just recently purchased. finding the right wind source is a problem presently because it does not catch the wind from all directions.
would love it more if it revolved to catch the wind better

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Could not get the screws to line up with the nuts that we welded to the other half of the piece. Returned item[...]

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I put this together very carefully following instructions, and have tried it in different locations, but it won't spin in the wind, even when leaves are visibly blowing around it. One half turns a tiny bit, the other not at all.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I forwarded a comment previously... We bought two spinners and had to remake them due to poor engineering; gave them a stronger pole for high winds, PLUS re-engineered the spinners so they would actually spin... Looks nice in our backyard, but even now, the spinners are not balanced correctly to spin more readily.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

so excited when we received it, we immediately set it up and placed it in the front corner of the garden (a very windy place). It barely turns! We took it apart, and checked the directions, but it was correctly put together. I think there's something wrong with this one, and we'll be returning it. Too expensive to have a wind spinner that doesn't spin...

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The Dahlia spinner is fun to look at whenever a break is needed from the work in the garden. Also, it provides a visually mesmerizing experience for visitors to my garden. Lots of fun to have "around".

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

"Turn in the slightest breeze" What a joke! This product is an excellent example of extremely poor design. After assembly, I discovered that the spinners are badly out of balance and won't turn in anything less than a gale force wind. I had envisioned this spinning slowly in the breeze and had ordered it thinking it would be an excellent addition in our yard. What a disappointment! IT'S A TOTAL BUST!!!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Be careful when purchasing this product because if you watch the demo it shows it actually doing some spinning. I have been unable to not only get mine to spin (except by hand) but to keep it spinning. And I have tried it in many different directions AND with a good stiff breeze blowing. I'm wondering if they made the demo by using a powered fan to force it around. [...] I have been a long-time customer but I am rethinking that. And to think that I purchased this useless yard ornament for my wife as a birthday present. What a shame and disappointment.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

A gift which I am returning.Given the number of reviews like mine perhaps the continued selling of this item should stop.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Decorative, but not sturdy or round as it should be.
Should also be shipped put together.
Not happy with product, perhaps will ship back

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This is a beautiful wind-spinner. But it was VERY difficult to assemble, many of the screws did not fit their housings and we had to improvise with wire and other screws. Finally, because the metal is heavy (and probably durable), unless you live in a wind tunnel, the spinners do not turn very much, even though we have applied heavy-duty grease to the housing. But every now and then when it does spin slightly, it's extraordinary. This is not a safe object to have around children; the blades are very pointed and the edges are knife-sharp.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

At first the spinner did not work well. I had to hand bend each petal to get it to operate better. This wasn't explained in the directions. Now it works great.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

As delivered one of the four brass insertion lugs* on the "leg stake" assembly was deformed and required filing/grinding to reshape it. After that the 4-leg stake could be put together. Also not in the AD for this wind driven device was the statement later found in the instructions that the leg stake assembly would NOT work in a sandy soil like near a beach. Additional guy line support and/or concreted base is required in a sandy soil - high wind situation. This item being heavy and made of brass will not turn in slight breezes - definitely needs at least a 10 mph wind.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I checked and all parts move freely but you need at least a 30 knot wind before it moves.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The dahlia wind spinner did not spin until my husband added w-d 40 and worked the oil in a few times. Also, we had to adjust the blades a little. Once we did that, it worked like a charm. What an addition to our new rock garden and waterfall!!!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Disappointed that both spheres don't turn freely. Only 1 turns in the wind, don't know how much wind it will take to turn both. Perhaps it is a quality control issue at the factory.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I wish it moved as easily in the wind as advertised. It takes a lot of wind to move it. I've tried WD-40 to help it. Bending the blades helped a little.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We installed one of these in our front and back yard. They are beautiful but do not spin at all. We would really like to speak to the artist or someone who knows how to make them spin.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I love the looks of this product and the purpose it is intended. The problem I have, is that only the facing spinner spins when the wind blows. Once in awhile the back spinner will spin which creates a really nice vision. Can't seem to make them both spin at the same time.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The product does not spin as it should. I have double checked installation but apparantly the spinners may not be balanced enough to allow free spinning even with more than a slight breeze. I have adjusted locations many times and certainly know if there is enough wind to start movement. It is a nice addition to the garden, unfortunately it just doesn't work. I will be returning it

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It spun impressively only once, or spun adequately only once, and the requirement was a 40MPH wind thunderstorm. I have repositioned it three times now and no action with moderate to light wind, after doing all the recommended actions including lossening the caps for the spinner blades.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The add says "Spins in the slightest breeze".
It is far to heavy and un-balanced to spin in any wind I've seen yet. It just sits there.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It's cool

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I liked how it looked but it does not spin unless in extreme wind conditions. I even called to make sure I put it together correctly and had the arrows lined up. If you are prepared to use it as a garden structure then its OK but don't expect a "wind spinner".

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The windspinner is attractive. It does not spin at the slighest breeze like the discription states. In fact, it hardly spins at all even when the wind is blowing hard. I have moved it to several locations and have adjusted the spinner somewhat but nothing seems to make it spin. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I could hardly wait to finish renovating the "Weed Farm" so I could display this dahlia spinner in an attractive setting. It's lovely as a garden ornament and I anxiously awaited the afternoon breeze to set it spinning. I was disappointed for several days because, as stated by others, it didn't spin. However, when all else fails, read the directions. The last instruction indicated that the leaves could be twisted to better catch the breeze. After some careful adjusting, one or both sides spin, the rotation rate changes and the effect is wonderful. A few chuckles are to be had at the expense of a bird trying to alight on the blades. As an added bonus, no bird poop!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

will display in my sun room for the winter months, and watch as the ceiling fan helps with
the movement.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I bought this for my wife for Christmas, it was backordered which was fine since the ground was frozen. Waited til spring to put it out, and its July and Im still waiting for the "slightest breeze" the catalog speaks of! We have had all sorts of strong winds and this piece of chinese [*] wont spin! Very poorly made,its not worth the shipping price! Ive always been happy with Gardeners Supply products but this was a huge disappointment!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

a fun way to spruce up the backyard/poolside landscaping

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

After I set the spinner up and placed it in the garden, I waited for it to spin. There was a breeze, wind chimes were making their noise. I looked at the spinner and re-read the directions. I had it set up correctly, so I then went to the shed and picked up a can of White grease and sprayed the bearings. Still, there was hardy no movement. I spun each side with my finger and got it going really good. I guess I worked in the lubricant. Still only one side was spinning. I looked closely at the spinners and started to bend each one ever so slightly outward at the tip and twisted each blade slightly outward. I added two washers to one of the blades to balance it, just like you would a ceiling fan. Low and behold, it worked. Spins nicely, lovely to look at and it is a beautiful addtion to my garden. Not sure how long it will last, but for now, I am enjoying it

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I love watching it spin one way then the other. It is a joy in our garden where we can view it from our front widow. My neighbor bought one when she saw mine, I bought one for my Father in law for Father's day, we loved it so much. He is enjoying his as well. It is a great design.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We followed directions with the product to assemble to the letter and it is in a windy area but it is NOT spinning- very dissapointed. It is such an attractive addition to the garden but would love to have it work!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

does not spinn

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

erected on mountain cabin sun deck, when wind blows the effect is very entertaining.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

A very attractive work of art for the yard.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Looks wonderful in the garden beside our koi pond. BUT, I can't get it balanced so it spins. I have tried everything and it doesn't spin even in a rain and wind storm! Very disappointed!

This was a retirement gift from co-workers.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Love the looks of it in the garden, but it won't spin.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

it was a great gift but I would not spend that much for it my self

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Too much money for this product

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

should not be offered for sale..unless it does work

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I absolutely love my new spinner. I almost did not purchase it because of some of the negatives reviews; but I am so glad that I did. It is a nice accent in my hummingbird/butterfly flower garden and I love to sit on my porch and watch it spin.

It was extremely easy to put together and spins in both directions at the same or one direction only depending on the direction and strength of the wind.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It just doesn't turn unless the wind is extremely strong and that is disappointing. However, I've gotten lots of comments about it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This is a wonderful addition to any garden. It's such fun to watch the whirl of the spinner.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The Dahlia Wind Spinner doesn't spin. One blade attempts to spin, but I've never seen the second spin unless I give it a push. Very disappointed that this item doesn't move, even in some quite energetic winds.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I had seen one in person. The spinning effect was really great. The one I bought does not move in the wind. I am very disappointed in this product.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Not hard to put together, but requires a strong wind has to hit the spinner at just the right angle in order for the blades to spin. The metal used for the blades is too heavy for an ordinary breeze to move them. OK for pretty yard art, but don't expect a spinner.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We love ours. Have had lots of people ask where we purchased it. Ours didn't spin right either. My husband attached fishing weights to some of the tips. Now it works beautifully...most of the time both are spinning.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Bought this wind spinner as a gift for my husband. When it came , one of the numerous parts was broken. This is a large item and I didn't feel like packing it all up again and returning it. The fins are easily bent and I'm afraid one will break off trying ti straighten them. Definitely not worth the high price tag.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I loved the Dahlia Spinner even if it didn't spin like it was supposed to. Looks great in my backyard!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Love spinner... beautiful garden art... however, it would take gale winds to get it to spin as shown in the video. Mine hasn't had one complete spin since I've had it...

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We had a high wind warning in our area and still the Dahlia Wind Spinner would not move. I tried it at all different postions and directions with no success.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Spray it with WD40 for lubrication and it will spin. Obviously, it needs to be in a location that receives a nice cross breeze, i.e., don't put it against the house or other structure. SHOULD BE CHEAPER, no reason for the high price.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

i like the looks but it takes way to much wind to make both of the shapes twirl

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Wantd something different to put in the yard and this was perfect. Very attractive.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Only one side of the product spins no matter how the blades are placed. We tried putting the blades on according to directions and one side would not spin. Then tried to switch blades , but still one blade never spins. We have had very windy days and even thunderstorm type winds and the one side does not spin. We were really excited to add this wind spinner to the yard, but now are diappointed that it does not work as advertised.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Great wind sculpture if and ONLY if you balance it. Out of the box it does not spin at all. If you take little weights and balance it, it works very well.

It is fixed and does move to best catch the wind so you need to orient it in the prevailing wind directions.

It does bend a little as the pole is solid and heavy.

I am not sure what the longevity of it is

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Does not spin real well, but very attractive in the backyard.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

the assembly was easy with the written instructions, however, am very disappointed in the lack of movement.....i expected this to twirl in the wind, but it hardly moves even when winds are 10-15 mph. My hubby says we purchased a "pig in a poke".

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The dahlia spinner doesn't. It looks good and was easy to assemble, but since it doesn't move in the direction the wind is blowing, it doesn't spin very often, only when the wind is "just right".

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Nice looking but will not spin unless you have a wind blowing like in your on-line video. Almost a gale-force wind is required (look at the video and you'll see what it takes to spin the wheels!)and I have not seen mine move since I put it up...so sad!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

different, eye catching
petals could be a little more firm

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It is beautiful but won't spin freely like a child's toy. Sometimes one side or the other will spin but never both.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I have used WD40 and silicone and this Dahlia spinner does not spin. I have other windmills that are spinning away and nothing on this one. Very disappointed. Not worth the [$]

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

love watching this spinner, even if only one side is spinning. both spinning looks really great - mercy of the winds.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I had seen a product like this for a much higher price tag. When I saw this item in the catalog at the published price, I ordered it right away! If other designs become available, I would be very interested...

I loved watching the petals move in the wind. When I don't get a lot of wind,I get what I call my Kaleidoscope action going. I get hypnotized watching the action of the blades. I found the best place for mine, it's a cross winds and sheers placement, both blades may not move at the same time but I'm fine with it. This is a wonderful kinetic sculpture. wish you had more, outstanding!!!!!!!!!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This dahlia, spinning in the wind, appearing to pulse from the center stops people in their tracks and they stand there mesmerized for a few minutes...then realize they have become distracted and smile as they walk away. I love this piece of yard art and was happy to see that I could obtain a design like this for such a reasonable price. I have seen very high end versions in Colorado Springs and New Hampshire that were solid copper and hundreds (close to a thousand) dollars. However, I will have to give two negatives. The petals come as four separate pieces, two couple together with a center flange that are screwed together to make one side of the flower. The holes were not drilled evenly so one of the screws does not screw fully in place. Also, once you attache one full side of petals on to make the first side of the flower, it is very difficult to screw the final screw in place for the second set of petals to complete the second side of the flower. I have small hands and a wide assortment of screwdrivers, drills and electric screwdrivers, it became quite a challenge. The other negative is the gauge of the "stem" upon which the flower sits. The manufacturer tried to make the metal stronger by twisting it into a spiral. I am sure this has helped, and visually is appealing, however, it still isn't quite as stiff as it should be and even a moderate wind makes the stem flex. I think this may interfere somewhat with a durable and constant spin of the dahlia. Nevertheless, it is a great piece at a great price.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The spinner was very easy to assemble, but be careful because the screws are a little difficult to line up and they are made from a very soft metal. If you crossthread one, you may not get do-overs. I pre-threaded mine to make sure they would tighten okay. I had to add button magnets to the "leaves" to balance the blades so they would spin easily and the blades themselves needed to be slightly bent into pinwheel shape to catch the wind. It is uni-directional (unlike a windmill that turns INTO the wind) so we placed ours where it would catch most of the west wind. When it spins, it is very eye-catching! We've had one high wind storm and it survived easily.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Both sides of the spinner were sadly out of balance.
It took a gale force wind to overcome the weight of the heavy side of each half. Trimming the veins did little to correct the problem. I ended up using small neodymium magnets to balance it.
It should come reasonably balanced out of the box.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We put this out and was disappointed because it will not spin unless a hard gust of wind comes up. It doesn't spin because the blades are really out of balance. This would be a really cool garden-decoration if it would spin with the lightest breath of wind.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I love this Dahlia Wind Spinner....easy to assemble..Many wonderful comments from friends about how memorizing it is and just nice to watch. It spins at the slightest breeze and really takes off in a 10 to 20 mile wind. I love this product!!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Both sets of blades were very out of balance and would only spin in strong wind. Wherever you spin, it always drops down with the same blade at the bottom. I switched the pairs; same thing. The salesman was surprised and even though I said I could balance the blades myself, he insisted he would send new sets. I conceded, but when one new set came they were equally unbalanced.

After talking to a second salesperson I assured her I could epoxy small pieces of lead to the lighter blades and she allowed me to carry on but still be able to return the whole thing if it doesn't work. Haven't done it yet but it isn't any different than balancing a bicycle wheel, just add weight to the blade at the top, give it a spin, and keep adding to whoever lands on top till it doesn't have a heavy side. A bit of work, but it's my wife's birthday gift

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The item is ued to decorate my gardens. The only thing is that it doesn't spin with the wind because the top does not move with the wind. Had I known this, I would not have purchased the item.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Sorry about the other buyers who don't have one that spins properly, but mine works GREAT! So well, that I have ordered two more.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It takes a lot of wind to move it even after you oil it

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I received this as a gift from my sister and I love it but it has yet to spin without me manually forcing it...what a shame.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I got this as a birthday present, I just love.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I liked everything about this except the blades are not very well balanced and the wind has to be quite high to turn them.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I love the appearance of the spinner,but after the first rain, it has started to rust. I thought it was powdered coated. Now having to keep oil on it to keeping it from rusting unmoveable. Would have recommended it to anyone except for this point.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It's a cool looking piece of art however .. because of the color of it - you really don't even see it until you are up close to it. The petals are ridiculously flimsy and break off / bend easily. Trying to screw the 2 sides together - one of the petals fell right off .. so that side will never spin now because it's already lopsided. One of the sides - the holes do not line up - so we cannot screw it together. For the price of this .. it certainly should be better constructed .. I should have known better though .. I read all the reviews first .. and this was in the reviews over and over .. and I ordered it anyway .. so my fault I guess.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I actually welded the DAHLIA WIND SPINNER to a high pole at the end of my property. I'm the envy of the neighborhood. Everyone thinks it's custom made due to it's oversized unique copper fan blades. Sorry "GARDENER'S" I'm not saying a word!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This is a great addition to any yard or garden. It's attractive and easy to install. It's well worth the price! I wish they made other versions -- I'd buy them too!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I have an old satellite post that I can't remove, so I attached the Dahlia Wind Spinner to it and the spinner sits just above the top of the post. This has got to be the coolest thing in my yard!!!! Beautiful to look at too!!!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

A day does not go by, that I when I sit in my back yard flower garden, I appreciate the beauty of the spinner. It adds so much dimension to the garden.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I think the pole could be a lttle more heavy duty, but as it is it works just fine

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The pole is slim, therefore taking most of the kinetic energy from the spinner itself. It would be best to secure the pole to a heavy duty steel post; which would take away from the sculpture.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It would be beautiful if it worked. We tried adding weights, balancing, and even praying, but the thing will only spin in 30 MPH winds. And then, only one side usually.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Products looks good but the two wheels ae not evenly balanced with one half weighing much more that the other.

Only spins in a very high wind

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It looks very cool when it is spinning, but it doesn't do that "...in the slightest breeze". Pain to put together. Weak welds at the ground stakes.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

We have it in our back yard garden. Every one that
goes by comments on it. It's the hit of the neighborhood!!!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

have put it in several places in yard and does not spin unless a good breeze-- love the style but would not buy again

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Love the look of spinner but it does require a wind to work. Has to sit out in a large space to work in a breeze. Should be on taller pole maybe.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Screws would not fit into threads on second half of spinner easily but other than that, easy to assemble. Still trying to balance spinners

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Does not turn in ANY wind!! Seems to be that the blades are not balanced. If I could send it back,would and get my money back. [...]

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

After purchasing I read the reviews and was somewhat uncertain if it would work as many were dismayed. I secured in ground with 4/5ft rebar pounded in the ground at each corner close to the stand and strapped with a zipper tie.
Hardly notice the rebar, plus the spinner is very stable. Our Delta northernly winds can make this spinner go like crazy. My husband was amazed at the in out effect of the windmill as opposite fans work opposite to create a wild visual experience if starring inward. I would recommend for windy areas with additional support.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Not balanced to catch the wind from any angle.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Went together easily. Looks great. Spinned a little the first day in a light wind. Seems like only one side spins at a time.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

IN SET UP INSTRUCTIONS IT ADVISES TO CAREFULLY BEND TINES TO ADJUST FOR WIND. WELL THE TINES ARE VERY FLIMSY AND CAN EASILY BREAK IF NOT HANDELED CAREFULLY. THE HEAD SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE A WEATHER VANE THUS ALLOWING IT TO TURN INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND ALLOWING INSTEAD OF RE-ADJUSTING THE TINES.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Had very high hopes for this article. Was expecting something really worthwile. Instead I got a flimsy piece of scrap that didn't perform as advertized. Only one side will spin the other is completely dead. I observed all the instructions and still got a dead stick I live in a place that has continuous wind and this thing doesn't respond to anything. Will you take it back ?

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I love to watch the patterns the petals makes when the wind moves them. Both sides may not spin at the same time but that makes it better for when they do. I studied my yard for the best wind current and placement and found that I don't need much to get movement. I just love it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This product is very similar to high end wind sculptures seen in art galleries.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

There were a lot of below average reviews but I knew I would love the thing! I was concerned about the reviews but decided to take a chance on it even though it was rather expensive. I had to raise it higher by zip ties onto a piece of rebar. As in the reviews sometimes both sides do not move at the same time but just the looks of it in my yard is enough. I do think it was a little expensive I am happy I ordered it and would recommend it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This was a gift that I sent back upon opening. It arrived bent and spattered with some flourescent green paint on all the solder joints, even though it appears spot welded. The construction was terrible, not worth one quarter of the price paid! It was a gift, I told my kind friend we will shop for a similar item of high quality from local artists. I suggest anyone wanting yard art do the same. This stuff from India is pure junk. I never have received such poor quality stuff from Gardeners Supply, I suggest they remove it from their inventory.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

All the screws that secure the Wind spinner blades started to rust after only 1 week. It requires a lot of wind to get it spinning since it does not rotate on its axis to face the wind like other kinetic sculptures. One of the two spinner hesitates to spin even in high wind.
I purchased the wind spinner because the local hand made kinetic sculptures we too costly. Now I see you really do get what you pay for. If you plan to buy this product be sure you do not live on the coast since it will not last in the salt air. I knew this was possible, but I did not expect to see rust on it after only one week.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Wheels are really unbalanced. Marginal spinning even at 30 MPH wind. Head does not turn so won't adjust to different wind direction.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This product was fairly simple to assemble, however it was a bit difficult to get the "spokes" turned to the correct angle to collect the wind and turn the wheels with ease. Also it is a fixed head that does not spin with the wind as it changes directions as I have seen the custom made kinetic sculptures do.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It is an attention grabber, focal point, and conversation piece.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Until I see this thing operate as advertized, I'd withhold recommending it to anyone. I've rotated, relocated and spun it to little avail for the wind catching the spinners and rotating them at the same time.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

As others noted, the spinner is unbalanced so it won't spin properly. My husband bought tiny weights used to balance automobile wheels. They are approximately 1/2" sq and are self-adhesive. By attaching one or two of these weights adjacent to where the spinner petals are attached to the center, he was able to balance the spinner so that it turns even in light winds. It is so cool....and the price is right.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Disappointed, I would send it back but it's too much trouble and it is pretty. I thought the head would turn with the wind but it doesn't so the wind needs to blow in the same direction everyday. Plus I can only get one side to spin at a time. Not even Happy!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

A significant amount of weight had to be added to balace the blades so that they would turn in low velocity wind.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The Dahlia Wind Spinner requires a very strong wind to spin, not a slight breeze as the description indicates. Even if it is mounted on a level platform, it does not begin to spin unless the wind is blowing at least 25 MPH. I have other wind spinners in my back yard that begin to spin with a 5 MPH wind. The good news is that it is fairly attractive and can be used as a back yard sculpture.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Here in Reno with many days of 20+mph winds I hope this will do great. Too cold & snowy for now.I'll wait till late spring and see. I love the size of it and the 4 prong base to set in ground is better than one item I have with only 1 stake. Price was great for the size compared to other iron works I have gotten at local craft events.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Total disappointment on arrival. [...] After doing our best to re-create the natural curves, we assembled the Dahlia only to find (1) the post screwed together at an angle so that it appears bent in the middle (2) the two 'spinners' are so terribly out of balance and heavy on one side that they will not spin unless forced by hand. Then they settle with a distinctive rocking back and forth until they stop at the heavy spot down position. Not worth the effort and time to return so it sits, stationary in the yard.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The directions to put together are not too clear. Most of all it does not seem to be balanced, so one side spins and the other doesn't. From what I have seen it takes a gale force wind to make it spin...even just the one side. For the price, which I consider pretty pricey, I would think the kinks would have been worked out of it. I was rather disappointed in its preformance.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I think the instructions could be a little easier if the print was larger.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

nice attractive design but not well engineered to allow it to turn in the head wind so it will allow the blades to turn all the time. not sure how durable, just received it, after Christmas. Was a Christmas gift for my wife. Not designed to pivot 360 degrees to catch the wind to allow blades to turn.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Definefinity you get what you pay for. Does not turn in the wind as a higher end spinner I have of a similar design. Would not buy another.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The action of the vanes is quite spectacular.
We reinforced the post with rebar because we live in a very windy area.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The spinner seems durable but it does not spin like it does on the video. We have been getting some decent breezes but rarely do both sides spin and then not very fast

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I got my spinner [...] it had a few fins bent so I straighted them and it looks really good; nice in my back yard but only one side spins I have moved it twice to get more wind but still the other side does not spin my husband said sent it back but I thought it would be too much trouble and it looks good even when it doesnt spin

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Covered in the cons

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Saw similar kinetic art in Maine this summer for thousands of dollars. GS product is a great find for us. We enjoy watching it,so relaxing

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Found that rods were not quite straight and needed bending in order for it to stand upright. Then buried the feet as instructions indicated. I have found that theblades need to be very precisely pointed at prevailing winds for it to work well. Suggest that anchoring in concrete followed by burial (after direction relative to wind is set).

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I like to have unusual and attractive accents in my yard - this one fits in
perfectly!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This item is a dud. It does not spin even in winds over 50 mph. It is pretty but I bought it for the movement. [...]

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Blades were bent when I opened the container.
Totally wind direction dependent

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I like the design but it's out of balance and dosen't spin.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

i agree, it is difficult to set up; however, once in place and anchored with a heavy rock (no need to cement in, we have heavy winds in our area and it is very stable now after anchoring thusly) it is a vision to behold - even with a slight breeze, the slow revolutions are intriguing and restful to the eye! The price is right, also - we are near Santa Fe where the cost is thousands for the same type of entertaining spinners!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I loved the concept and look but the Dahlia Wind Spinner just sits there! The spinner neither "turns in a the slightest breeze" as stated in the product description, or a strong wind.
(In a recent rain storm, with plenty of wind, it barely moved).
I have moved it to various spots in my garden with no success.
The vertical metal rod that the spinner is attached to is very flimsy for the amount of weight of the two spinners on the top and sways back and forth.
I have another sun wind spinner I got from Gardeners Supply last year and no matter where you place it in the garden it moves and works great.
The Dahlia Spinner has design, engineering and materials flaws.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Very enjoyable!!!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I bought this for my boss,for christmas.It has been in my basement waiting.I am sure it is going to be fine.There is a very large one in town the looks somewhat similar.The one in town is about$1500..so when I saw ur's I know I got lucky.I am sure my boss is going to love it.!!happy holidays,Donna Mann

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This garden ornament is very unique whether the wind is spinning it or not. Seems to be durable as well.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The blades do not match up in assembling. I live in a very windy area but it is too heavy to rotate. Too expensive for what it does not do - I would not order it again.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I put the Dahlia spinner next to our Koi pond where there is always a breeze. It is wonderful to watch and very soothing to the soul.. love it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Cuute toy! Now if only it would spin! Has no aerodynamic design, badily out of ballance. A 30 mph wind produces moderate rocking motion.I have slightly twisted the blades to achieve some aerodynamic effect and plan to add weights to achieve ballance.If you want it to perform as advertised--plan on some shop time.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

After seeing something similar that cost thousands of dollars, I was pleased to find this much cheaper version. After setting it up in the garden on a windy day, I discovered it takes quite a bit of wind to make it spin and then only one side spins until a gale hits it, then the other side may make a couple of rotations. I tried moving it around the garden to find the optimal location for spinning and one of the legs broke off as I was lifting it out of the ground. The video on the website shows it spinning quite well but my guess is a fan is being used as the trees in the background are not moving at all. Not honest advertising if you ask me. It is quite pretty when both sides spin but that rarely happens.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Fits perfectly in the garden in the center of my Dahlias and it still draws attention since the plants have been put away. A true focal point that entertains young and old. Everyone else feels the same as we do, they love it's simplicity. Congratulations, you've got a winner here!

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

There are times when both wheels don't spin together but I'm okay with that for as seldom as it happens. We placed the spinner about 50 feet from the house and it is difficult to see. Consider the color of the backdrop when placing it in your yard. It is totally visible in the morning. When the sun hits it, it is stunning and glittery. We thought the vibration might keep the moles at bay too.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The spinner is quite attractive but I am very disappointed that it does not spin in slight or moderate breezes. We have tried lubricating the axels but to no avail. It appears to be out of balance slightly as the same section of the spinners are always down when it is at rest.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I just put it up and don't know what it will do as far as lasting. Doesn't spin as easy as I thought it would. Easy to put together except the screws...need a screwdriver with very small head as the screws are set very close to blades.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Very attractive but would like it to respond to the wind better.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The Dahlia Wind Spinner is a part of my wind garden

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I was SO excited when I saw the picture of the dahlia wind spinner. I am entranced with kinetic sculptures and finally there was one that I could afford! When it arrived, the stand was already broken in the box...but I figured it would work with three prongs...so I put it together. One of the spinners would not go on, so I tapped it with a plastic hammer....and it totally broke apart. Well, I was very disappointed. I had my son weld the broken parts and it is up, but it takes a pretty strong breeze to make it spin. But when it does spin....I smile.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It would be attractive in the front yard but was afraid it would get stolen if in site of drivers

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It will need to be embedded in concrete.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

The fins are delicate and they arived off balance, it took a fairly strong wind to get them going. Good thing I knew how to fix it. It moves great when they move in opposite directions.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Blades bend very easily. Requires a steady, strong wind to make it spin. Has to be completly level to spin properly(not advertised or in the instructions). It is attractive. If it only worked better it would be excellent.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

they have larger versions of these but the price is in the thousands, so I was thrilled to find one that looks the same. you really need an open area for this, it takes quite a lot of wind. Where I have mine, does not work the best but its where I can see it the best. So think about this when you buy it, put it where it will get the most wide open wind, with no tree around it.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

satisfactory, does what i expected. [...]

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

It doesn't turn in the wind. The knobs spin off. Great idea if it worked! Stem is so thin it wobbles.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

Can't really tell you much about how easy it is to set up because it's a Christmas present.
But I love the design. We had problems with animals and birds in our garden this year, so we bought some cheap pin wheels and it seems to do the job.
But the wind spinner is elegant and beautiful. I'd love to have about 10 of them. We have a large garden and we also live beside a highway where I know motorist will enjoy seeing it as well.
Sandy

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

I am satisfied with the purchase since it is a decorative product that appears well made. However, it's billing as turning with the "slightest breeze" is not my experience. It requires at least a 15-20 mph wind, and even then only one side of the spinner routinely spins despite trials at trying to orient the device to the optimum wind-catching angle.

Comments about Dahlia Wind Spinner:

This spinner is a "one of a kind" no others like it around. Looks great.
Just wish the stand, rod that supports it was thicker or sturdier.
