Fantastic fun, quiet bearing, soothing
Color: Red
I can get stressed at times just like everyone else, and I find that fiddling around with fidget spinners gives me an outlet for my nervous energy and helps me focus. Once I figured out that they actually help me and aren’t just a funny toy that ends up forgotten in my desk drawer, I began to collect
them, and have learned what aspects of a spinner make me happiest, and what makes me regard one as a “good” spinner, and this one ticks all of my boxes. Right out of the package this spinner had a very smooth and quiet bearing. Box one: check! I have been spinning it quite a bit and it hasn’t gotten gritty feeling or noisy when it spins yet, and spins for at least three to four minutes depending on the spin I give it. I’m not concerned about timing each spin and trying to beat records and have a spinner that spins for eight minutes. I am only concerned about it spinning freely, quietly, and smoothly. For my second box to be checked, I like my spinners to be made with premium-feeling materials and to have a more mature appearance (as mature as a fidget spinner can aspire to be!). Those lightweight plasticy ones with the sh177y bearings and LED lights are not my cup of tea. Not throwing shade, just telling it like it is. Aluminum is OK, if a little light weight , if it is machined right, stainless, brass, and any heavy metal base is more my style. This spinner has heft, is supposedly stainless (feels nice and heavy like stainless) but is covered with what looks like an anodized coating - hard to do on stainless, but it can be done - giving it a gorgeous deep red transparent coating that lets the stainless shine through. This spinner has a smooth cap for the bearing that is very comfortable to grip, and hasn’t come loose since I tightened it when I first unboxed the spinner. For the life of me I absolutely cannot understand the people who review fidget spinners and go to great lengths to b17ch and moan about their center bearing cap coming loose and falling off and blaming it on the manufacturer. First of all, it screws right back together. It isn’t broken. Suck it up buttercup. Second of all, if your cap becomes loose and starts to unscrew, can’t you tell it’s loose before the whole damned thing falls off in your hands? Tighten that puppy back up BEFORE it falls off, and you stand a FAR better chance of not losing it when it comes off altogether. If it keeps coming loose, put a little dab of thread locker on the threads the next time you have to put it back together. Jeez. All of that said, this spinner’s center cap hasn’t come loose on its own since I tightened it when I first got it. YMMV This spinner doesn’t have bearings in the three lobes that surround the center, but there are shiny silver colored solid metal inserts there instead that feel heavier than the bearings I’ve received in other fidget spinners that I have collected over the years. The added mass of these inserts is supposed to help this spinner spin longer, and I have no reason to doubt it works based on how easily this spinner out-spins several of my other ones. To wind down this insanely long review of an eight dollar fidget spinner, I can say that it is one of my dailies right now and I am enjoying it very much, and would recommend it to anyone wanting a solid, hefty, well-made spinner. Not much of a gamble at eight bucks. If you like fidget spinners or know someone who does, this is an excellent one to add to any collection. It doesn’t feel, look, or sound cheap and holds its own next to my spinners that cost five times the price, if only it’s of a bit simpler design.

Heavy and spins like a champ.
Color: Silver 2
I had misgivings about this, but was pleasantly surprised. It's heavier than your typical spinner. When I first pulled it out, I put it on my desk and gave it my best Price Is Right spin. Then went downstairs, took the trash out and wiped down the kitchen counters. Frankly, I forgot about it. When I
walked back into my office, that sucker was still turning. Just barely, but still turning. So. I like this one!

EDIT: turns out there was some schmutz under the center cap, removed that and it works just fine. Enjoying it. Its nice and heavy, smells of metal and has a smoother finish without sharp edges I use the product for keeping me focused while programming and when it arrived it was exactly what I expecte
d, a high quality, heavy, fidget spinner. After a couple hours of usage the bearing seems to have broken on the inside and it scratches in an irritating way while I spin it. Now I have to go buy another somewhere else. Ugh

Great spinner, does require a break in period
Color: A-silver-solid
When I first got it, it would not go longer than 3:45 min on the table and 4:45 min in my hand, after a couple of weeks, it is now 5:00 min on the table and 6:45 min in my hand. If you are not getting 5 min+ spins, for the love of god do not attempt to "clean" your bearings, you will just decrease sp
in time by a lot, even if you use alcohol. Just give it time

Quality is fine, and it's not worth returning it just for color, but it was disappointing

It’s a cool looking fidget spinner but…
Color: Purple
I’m disappointed that it didn’t come with a case. I had bought this same fidget spinner (in the color rose gold) in 2017 and it came with a case. Also my bearings are loose , I hope it last a while. I’m scared that it won’t last very long though 😭. I don’t know what changed, These were constructed be
tter before. I feel as the years have gone by the quality has gone down . It’s still heavy though , spins for a while, & has a little whisper when it spins which I can appreciate. I once rated this as 5 stars, but now 3 since it’s loose and these are pretty pricey to not be constructed correctly. My last one lasted for yearssss , I feel Like I’ll have to buy a new one soon.

It goes round and round and round and around more. It does what it says it does and feels quality made. Good bearings in there.

Excellent quality and great appearance. I assumed the gold parts would move also but they do not. Still, very well-made.

Decently hefty, but scratched up
Color: A-silver-solid
It has a good heft to it, doesn't feel like some cheap toy. Makes good on the claim that it spins for a while. Mine did come covered in scratches, and with a small chip, like it was already used, so that's the only reason for it to not have 5 stars. Otherwise, it looks and feels great!

I’ve had other spinners but this one is so far above in terms of quality looks speed duration. It’s just simply a gorgeous piece of workmanship. I love it!

Purchased 2… Quality Not Assured… BUYER BEWARE
Color: A-silver-solid
I purchased 2 of these spinners 2 weeks apart. Neither one has a high-grade polished finish that can be seen in the pictures for this item. The first one I bought I could both audibly hear & feel the bearings grinding. I removed the center cap and the retaining ring that holds the bearing in place to
have a look. First, I washed the bearing with dawn dish soap, then used 99% Isopropyl to clean it then finally dried it. The grinding was still there but not as prominent. Second I inspected the retaining ring & noticed there was a metal burr on the top surface. It’s a very soft metal so I sanded the burr with 400/1000/1500/2000/2500 grit sand paper. Reassembled & now the grinding is even less prominent. So the second one came today and this one is a lot smoother but there is still grinding that can be heard/felt. I disassembled for inspection & noticed the surface of the retaining ring had the same burr as my first one. My guess is during assembly the retaining ring is being tightened using a metal tool by someone not proficient enough in its use & slipping out of the slot used to tighten the ring & damaging the surface causing the burr. For anyone looking for a high-quality spinner, I cannot confidently recommend this spinner due to the quality assurance and the low quality bearing. For anyone looking for a quality spinner that has decent spin times, this spinner will check that box. Update: Switching out the bearings that come with this spinner for these bearings: R188 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing, 1/4"mmx1/2"mmx3/16"mm Fidget Spinner Bearing with Nylon Caged (5 PCS) - ABEC 5 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BHSW2N7/ Took the spin time from ~3 1/2 to 4 minutes to 9 minutes plus. You will not be disappointed. Because of the construction of this spinner allowing it to be extremely well balanced, I am increasing my rating from 3 to 4 stars.

Can't really complain too much considering the cost. It does feel solid overall and will spin on a hard surface for 3-4 minutes so that is a plus. However, the center cap thing that screws on either side to cover the bearing often loosens itself up after only a few minutes of playing with it. I may b
e a slight anomaly, but I like to keep my hand doing something while I'm just sitting at home, so I have probably messed around with it for several hours at this point, but it already seems like the bearings are going out. After like day 2 I could hear a noticeable difference in noise level when spinning as well as a somewhat scratchy feel when its being used. Being under $10 though I understand you get what you pay for.
