Stanwood Wind Sculpture: Kinetic Copper Dual Spinner - Double Windmill Spinner

Best quality!

Love it. Very happy with it.

There are most costly wind sculptures ($1000 and up) elsewhere, but Stanwood wind sculptures have the perfect quality at a more than reasonable price for lifetime outdoor art and this design spins so well (in opposite directions) and is amazingly beautiful. .i bought several cheap wind spinners (ones under $150) and was always disappointed. The cheap ones don't spin except in 30+ mph winds and even then they don't spin fast because there is too much friction or because they are unbalanced. They cheap kind won't last long either.I got fed up and bought this majestic spinner. The spinner has steel ball bearings hidden inside which is the key in reducing friction to insure easy movement. What I received was so well engineered and so superior in it's materials and workmanship I realized it was not only worth every penny but it was in fact a bargain. The thickness of the pole mean no bending at the joints or shimmying like cheap spinners tend to do. The top of the sculpture is also strong, thick and sturdy metal that is perfectly balanced. It shines beautifully and I choose to spray it with Rust-Oleum Gloss Clear Enamel to keep it shiny all year long.I was rewarded right away with a little breeze and a spinning sculpture. It is definitely sculpture because its design is so well executed that it belongs in a museum as a fine example of kinetic art. I hate the cheap ones I bought previously and I love this Stanwood wind sculpture so much I bought two others by Stanwood which have made me very happy with their quality, amazing designs and ease of movement even when the wind is low. When we get a real windy day I look out a window and am fascinated by their beauty.

Is there a way to give this a six star rating? We adore the spinner! It is copper and brass with a very sturdy pole and smooth spinning mechanism. We also bought 2 other spinners from different companies at the same time to do a grouping. The other two were much less expensive but also much less sturdy and I am sure will not last past this summer. We have some wind here at the farm but this spinner handles it well. My prediction is that we will replace the lesser spinners with more from this company.

The media could not be loaded. This is my 7th Stanwood wind spinner and my collection is now complete. I have to say, out of all the spinners I have from Stanwood, it’s the least interesting. It simply looks like two propeller blades going in opposite directions. The welds on the blades are very obvious, and it takes more wind to get this going than the others I have. The circumference is smaller than expected, but maybe I should have paid closer attention to the description. My point is, you’d probably be happy with this if it’s your first Stanwood purchase, because you have nothing to compare it to. For me however, I ordered it to balance my display, and complete my backyard design. The quality is good, the spinner itself is rather “meh” and for the price, I think you’d be happier with one of the other designs.

I cannot say enough about how great these wind spinners are. This company uses quality materials that hold up, even in coastal salty environments. I own three of these and the oldest one I have is about 6 years old. It still spins like it did on the day I bought it. I am close to the pacific ocean and the salt-air basically dissolves most metals within a few months. These are truly made from copper which survives this salty environment. I know that they are more expensive than others on Amazon, but they are definitely worth the money.

Very well made. Looks terrific next to our deck. We take it down (very easy) when severe weather is forecast. Don't want to risk damage.

Easy to assemble. Very sturdy when inserted into the ground. Spinner easily rotates on top of the pole to catch the wind from any direction. Will rotate and spin with the slightest breeze. Looking forward to seeing how the patina develops with age. A bit too brassy in color for my taste, but I still like how it performs.
