Super Deal 8' Iron Windmill Ornamental Garden Weather Resistant Weather Vane (Silver)

Update: I received an email from the company and they are sending me a new windmill! Thank you so much!!! Just in time too, as the one we got recently just broke today.It looked nice in the picture. After we opened the box, we thought it was flimsy and cheaply made, but I told my husband the reviews were good, so we went ahead and set it up. We're getting a thunderstorm and the whole thing is wobbling. I'm afraid the tail and the blades are going to be destroyed. The hole for the blades to go on isn't centered, so it's causing the whole thing to wobble. I'm not pleased at all.

This thing was a pain to build. I mean, I build turbine engines for a living and this thing took 5 hours!When it was finally assembled it did look decent for the price.The stakes do not do a good job of holding it in the ground. I constantly have to "un"lean it.Then, months after purchasing it I noticed it leaning at the top. I find that the weld cracked! I don't even get strong winds in that area.After re-welding it, a month later I hear it making terrible noises in the night, no doubt waking the neighbors. I grab my WD-40 to sooth the beast, only to find the the bearings have exploded. Now I need to replace the bearings as well! Definitely not worth the purchase unless you want an ongoing fix-it project.

Had missing screws, just sent message waiting for reply.

We didn't expect such a quality item for the price. It is heavy duty and well made. Only complaint-My husband is really good at putting things together otherwise I think it would have been a bit difficult for the average person since the directions weren't great. It came earlier than the seller stated so that was nice also.We love it in our yard and are very satisfied customers!

Bought this as a Christmas present last year and assembled it the beginning of Spring. After 2 months, the bearings completely fell apart. Bought new bearings, which are still good, but don’t stay in sleeve. Keep falling out of sleeve, and yes they fit tight until there is a moderate wind, then both ends fall out. Do not buy this cheap piece of crap. Update: Contacted seller for replacement of the tiller, which snapped in half. They did respond replace tiller, but two days later 6 or 7 of the bolts and nuts had fallen out out (a recurring problem) even though I had them as tight as possible, and even added a dab of glue to each one. The entire windmill had collapsed and was laying on the ground. Update : as far as bearings, set that came with unit completely fell apart, so I took advice of a reviewer and bought sealed bearings (a cost I shouldn’t had to burden) the sealed bearings have lasted. All in all, an embarrassment, since I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend as a Christmas present last year. Can’t count the calls from her that something else has fallen apart or broken on this windmill. What a SUPERDEAL THIS WAS

This looks really nice in my yard. It seems pretty durable. I maybe build a platform for it just to make it easier to cut the grass.

Bought in June 2018. In Nov 2018, the very top piece of the tower (the actual windmill sits in) was starting to collapse, rusted, collapsed so much the windmill wasn't working. Took it apart and had a friend, grind the rust away and then wield a large washer above and below the top flat piece, then coated with hammer coating. Reinstall and all worked good until Dec 2018, then the back bearing of the windmill started rusting to the back stop washer welded on the shaft, so a couple times I sprayed with lithium grease, which freed it up. Jan 2019 the back bearing blew completed apart. Took it apart and found the two bearings are common "6200 ZZ", which are for inside use. Ordered two "6200 2RS", which are rubber sealed and made to keep out the elements. Once I replace the bearings, believe it will last longer. The blades are no longer true and it wobbles some.

Not the easiest to assemble but a great value
