Woozy Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Quite a few of these out there now, spin pro is the original but it’s big money some others that look the same are £100 cheaper. Don’t want to spend the money and find the machine sucks though. What do you guys use and would recommend? Is it spinpro all the way or are the others just as good?

Rural Buddha Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hi @Woozy - do a search of this forum for spinpro and spin pro. Do it whilst on the main home page and you'll get a whole list of threads where people give their opinions on the genuine article and the cheaper clones. I've just bitten the bullet and ordered a - hopefully - genuine SpinPro off fleabay. At £180 I thought I'd go for it. Once I get it I may well see if there's any marks, etc. that people with a known genuine unit can confirm mine isn't a fake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I have a Spin pro. I think it cost £300 quid? Had it for so long I cant remember. For me it was totally worth the money. Maybe halved my trim time. I absolutely HATE Trimming! I cant speak of other models, but I can confirm that its lasted for absolutely ages with no problems. Very good build quality.

M Pamplemousse Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Spin Pro is a great bit if kit, very robust. Around 300 notes so not cheap but have saved me so much time. I now have mums that I've selected to minimise trimming among other criteria so I don't use mine much. Might have to put it in the evil site soon..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronic420 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I got the cheaper eBay version and it sucks big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rural Buddha Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The SpinPro I ordered off the bay arrived today, it looks and feels genuine, at £180 it was a good deal! Won't be able to try it out for a few weeks until I harvest these: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypher79 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I've got a £100 one from eBay a few years ago, can't remember the brand of it but it's got a clear lid and works great, even after never cleaning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The audio breathing machine Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Doesn’t look like you can still get spinpro’s anywhere, other than a couple of eBay sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 ive had a couple of the cheapo knock offs. first one was fine, lasted about 4 or 5 years, before the cops stole it. it had lost 2 or 3 of the rubber fingers, but the mechanism for spinning the blade was fine. 2nd one is shite, its barely 2 or 3 years old and on its last legs, fingers missing everywhere, mechanism has more slop than Katie Prices downstairs, and locating the lid is a tiresome affair. it cost about 120 quid. for the extra 60 quid, id be biuying a spin pro. they are better made and the rubber fingers are replaceable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
