Caydo i Cord Knitting Machine, Electric iCord Maker Tool with Adequate Tension, i-Cord Knitter Machine, Automatic Knitting Yarns to i-Cords, Efficiently DIY Knitting Machine for Crocheters(Patented)

This product is great to save a little time when doing your creations. I recommend the following steps. Make sure you follow the instructions properly. Be patient until you learn the steps. When you have the beginning set up ready to go, make sure you pre unwind your yarn so it runs flawlessly. I encountered a couple of stops when my yarn was in a ball. I added a couple of pictures of what it looks like when the yarn has not been properly started in The hooks. As you can see the blue strap can show 2 different kind of knits. Which once I was aware, I then redid the hooks and continued the knit. It’s now super easy to start and finish my cords. It’s not super fast but I think it works in perfect timing for me. I recommend this product!

This is a great little machine! If you're creating a lot of long i cords, you might want to consider an auto-tensioning machine, but for a hobbyist, this is perfect. Setting it up and threading it was simple. The biggest issue is moving weights to tension the cord while running, but if its in your budget and you didn't mind attending to the machine, purchase this over those hand-cranked gadgets. I used my machine with worsted weight Yarn Bee acrylic yarn and the cords were even and perfect. The i cords stretched perfectly over the wired words I made them for, too.

I like the weights, they are like huge cordlocks and just slide up the icord. I like this better than the clip weights which seemed to pull on one side more. The machine is reasonably quiet. I assumed the motor would be faster. I can crank my hand model one much faster. I’m sure the consistent pace is better for even stitches and less chance of dropped stitches. It is kinda expensive for one purpose or function and have seen it go for less then I paid for it, so watch the offers and you might be able to get it for close to $40 - $45.

This automatic I-Cord knitting machine is a great product at a great price. I was able to knit in 15 minutes what would have taken me hours and a lot of joint pain by hand. It comes with everything you need, even extra needles. The machine is sturdy, lightweight, and easy to use. I plan to use this a lot and I may even buy more than one!

This items worked for maybe 15 uses and then started bogging down no matter what I tried. Of course this only happened after the return window had closed. The motor seemed like it was no longer strong enough to handle the yarn. I was using the recommended yarn and I hadn’t changed it from the yarn I was using during the first 15 uses. Absolutely not worth it, especially for the price.

On one hand, if you have an understanding of how to use icord makers, it's very easy to set up and get going. I use a hand crank icord maker and it's very easy and fast for me to use. Upon setting this up, getting yarn started, adding weights, and pressing the power button...it's soooo slow. It's like watching grass grow or paint dry. Painfully slow. Now this would be great for a newbie to icords. But I want SPEEEEEED. I wish there were speed options and I keep checking for any hidden buttons but cannot find any. You can't leave this unattended, which I understand, but when it's so slow, watching it pains me. Have I mentioned it's slow? I will definitely use it. But wish upon wish it would magically speed up!

Pretty awesome once you get the hang of how to start, fast, really worth the money. It can be a little loud but nothing to squeaky.

This cord maker made it easier to make cords longer in a much shorter amount of time. I really love how consistent it is on thickness. I got this when it was on sale which made it an even better value. So far, I have not had any issues with it working correctly. I have several other Caydo machines and I can't wait to upgrade to their new automatic cord making machine!!
