SENTRO 48 Needle Knitting Machine, Smart Loom Circular Crochet Machine with Row Counter, DIY Yarn Maker for Beginners and Seasoned Knitters, Gift for All Ages

So honestly Ive been looking into getting one of these for a good while but every single one of them had poor reviews or actually valid complaints and to be honest I was worried about getting a peice of garbage. But it works great in the last month Ive had it. Ive made over 20 hats and other products with it and not had any issues other than ones Ive caused myself. Honestly the only complaint I have is its not super sturdy but even thats not been a big deal and has had 0 impact on the product and how it works. Yeah it drops stitches now and then but Ive found its always, always been my own error/ stupidity due to using the wrong tension or accidentally missing weaving the yarn in and out at the start and not the machines fault. A tip Ive found for people who eventually buy this is to use the middle tension most. It works the best while the other tensions are most likely to drop stiches and for the loosest tension I found I dont care much for how loose the yarn woven gets to be for my specific projects but Im sure others may like the look more than me as there isnt really anything wrong with it. My last tip is watch for the first 10 rows very closely as if you go to fast or crazy it will drop stiches so just keep a steady pace and treat the machine well and it works perfectly.

Had it for a few years and it's held together better then expected being all plastic. It taken a bit of damage due to storage but it's held up really well with only a few things needing to be replaced and that was easily done. When it comes to usage, it was fast with few problems. Like with any yarn work along as you have the right tension the machine is great. And in the case you need to go back and fix something it's very easy to do.

a lot of people have a lot to say about this. i have had no issues at all. i will say the traction little thingy that holds the yarn isn’t the best so ive just been holding it by hand and had no issues. i have used merino wool, mohair, and other natural yarns and they have all worked perfectly. all different sizes with no issues. you just have to pay attention to make sure it’s all going in well especially with thinner yarns. the knit looks great i made some arm warmers with it and using the machine was the easiest and less time consuming part of the project. it took me a few tries to figure out how to actually work it but it was a breeze after that. the package also came with yarn needles and a little crochet hook. the crochet hook sucks but the needles are perfect. also came with some waste yarn which i have used and been happy with. only annoying thing is when using panel it doesn’t count the panels for you so i’ve been counting in tens and writing it down in my notes app for larger projects.

Its only been a few days but the machine runs very smoothly and the knit fabrics are coming out great. Easy to follow instructions. Feels sturdily made. Even comes with a tiny screwdriver to screw the legs to the base with. The 48 pin makes a great adult sized hat

I've been eyeing this machine for years and finally took the plunge. I was also looking at the much more expensive and better reviewed Addi machine, but decided to go with this one. It's been a couple days since it arrived, and here are my suggestions for you: 1. It may look easy, but there is a serious learning curve to this machine. I'm no expert knitter, but I'm certainly not a beginner, and this one took me several hours of practicing to get the hang of. This comes with several skeins of practice yarn and you should absolutely use them before you dive into your stash. 2. Don't rely on the instruction manual. Like the title says, go to Youtube, or Sentro's website for tutorials. 3. People in the reviews have complained about dropped stitches and they're not wrong---but the more you get used to the machine and keep it stabilized, the less it happens. Still, learn how to fix dropped stitches with the crochet hook before you dive in. 4. Bulky yarn won't work on this machine. Worsted weight and under is best. 5. If you're working on a flat panel, cast on starting with the second to last peg. You'll need to crank slightly past it to ensure the yarn slips under the lip and can loop back around the first stitch when you start the next row. Overall, with patience, this thing is definitely worth the money. I've already finished a scarf with it. Good luck with your projects!
