Beadact Electric Bead Spinner, 2-in-1 Battery-Powered Clay Bead Spinner with Beading Needles and Elastic String for Friendship Bracelet Making, Gift for Girls

The media could not be loaded. This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my 10 yo daughter but a few weeks before, she got an order for 20 bracelets (pictured), so I gave it to her early to help her get them done. It works great and makes it a lot easier to string heishi beads but just know there are 2 caveats (but the spinner is still totally worth it)… First, there is a bit of a learning curve if figuring out how and where to position the beading hook amid the spinning beads. But it’s not hard to figure out, my 10 yr old got it just as fast as I did. Second, as others have said, you need a good amount of beads in the spinner for it to work really well. The less beads in the bowl, the longer it will take to hook them. So if you’re only planning on making one bracelet out of a certain color combo of beads, you’ll have a lot of the mix left over when finished, because if you only load in enough beads for one bracelet, it will taken forever to hook them, if at all. Luckily I have one kiddo who loves sorting objects into groups, so when my daughter was ready to switch to a new combo, her little sister took the leftover mix and separated all the colors back out so we could store them back in the grid boxes. But honestly, if you make a lot of bracelets, this spinner is a requirement.

This is so much fun, I’m 58 and I’m having a blast making bracelets for friends and grandchildren!!! it’s a little tricky to get started and figure out the settings but once you get going with it, it’s a blast. It makes making bracelets so fast!!

It took me a few tries to get the hang of using the spinner itself, and once I got the hang of it, the thin eye of the needle completely came apart and now it's rendered useless. Now I have to go and buy some new needles to be able to use the spinner.

I had been apprehensive about working with seed beads bc of their size. I watched several reviews/how-to’s for this spinner on YT before I bought it. Within two adjustments of my finger, the beads literally started jumping on the needle. My bowl wasn’t quite full, but it still worked well. I was so excited that I opened it within minutes of being delivered. I was not disappointed. I read some Amazon reviews with complaints of the needle, but if you hold it closer to the top of the hook, it remains steady. It’s quiet, has the convenience of having two available power sources, inexpensive, easy to use, and is small enough where you can leave it on the counter without it taking up too much space. My daughter is going to have fun making money designing waist beads and bracelets. I am very happy with this purchase. For reference, I’ve only used it with 6/0 seed beads.

Doesn’t work like it was supposed to !Returned right away !Absolutely no speed at all when it spins.Very cheaply made and not worth it .

It is great but any time I use it, the string will always get stuck

Beading machine did a GREAT job! Beaded 100 feet of 24 guage wire in 30 minutes. I didn't use the beading needie provided, I put 24 guage wire in bowl using all different shapes of beads. Machine easily loaded cubed shaped beads, along with oval and pear shaped beads mixed together. AWESOME time saver

So, I normally don't give out a lot of 5 stars, but this one deserves it. Especially since I see a lot of comments stating that it doesn't work well. This works perfectly perfect! Lol It doesn't take long to get the hang of it. Once you get an angle, you begin fishing! I grew up fishing with my dad, so this gives me a bit of satisfaction when the beads hook onto the pin and beads continue to pile on. It does get a little tricky when you don't have a lot of beads left to "fish", so to speak, but I can still manage to hook them on. This machine has been a game changer for me! I will be making a lot more beaded jewelry for my website now. A must buy!UPDATE: I've had this for a few months now and it still works like it did before. I had to buy more needles from using them so much, but that makes sense if you use them a lot. They are cheap enough to buy anyway. Especially in bulk. I still highly recommend this product!
