Great Knitting Machine!
This is my first knitting machine and after watching several instruction videos online and practicing for a few days I was finally able to master knitting with it.
It does take some getting used to and while it doesn't automate the knitting process it does speed it up exponentially. This is not a situation where you feed yarn into a machine and it automatically spits out perfectly knitted panels or tubes. It's more like knitting with a complicated tool where you still have to monitor the stich formation and and adjust the yarn tension at different stages to get perfect results.
The only problem that I've had with the machine is keeping the Knit Quick from moving around when I was using it. I was able to stabilize it by removing the little black rubber padded disks on the bottom of the legs and replacing them with some clear rubber suction cups that I purchased at a big box hardware store. I bought clear suction cups with hooks and then removed the hooks from the little nubs that they're attached too. Once I peeled away the little rubber disks on the machine's feet I could see that each leg was slotted in a way that perfectly accepts the suction cup's attachment nub. Now that I've added suction cups my machine is easily securely attached to my table top and it doesn't move at all when I crank the handle.
Over all I'm very pleased with my purchase and am now happily experimenting with different yarns and techniques.

Couldn’t get one that worked
I saw that it didn’t get high reviews but thought I’d give it a chance. I made about 10-15 earwarmers with this machine then it jammed. I was going to take it apart and try to clear whatever was jamming it but I could only get a few of the screws out. The others were stripped as if someone before me had tried to fix it. Thinking I had just gotten a lemon, I ordered another one. My excitement was quickly taken away when I took it out of its package and spun the handle only to discover it jammed with the first revolution. I didn’t even have yarn in it. I will not be trying it for a third time.

Not for me.
Was looking into purchasing an addi machine, but was not wanting to pay $100+. Tried this as an alternative and was so disappointed when the crank kept getting stuck even after switching yarn weights. Later found out the item was previously returned and once I took it apart found out that the ridges inside were already worn down.

Not worth the money for sure!
Difficult to hold on to while turning the crank and skips stitches fairly regularly.

Works as Expected
Patience is a virtue but I has this working within 5 minutes out of the box. Looking forward to making items for gifts as well as upcoming craft fairs this holiday season. Glad I didn’t take most of the reviews seriously. This is a great learning machine. Luckily I snagged it at a discount when I did. *I do feel the $74.99 price tag is steep for a plastic machine...use coupons!*

I've gone through 2 already...wore them out
You really need to use yarn that is thinner than 6.5 mm for it to work right. The thinner yarn tends to break from the factory so you really NEED to pay attention @ the tension plate so the knot doesn't get hung up. If you crank @ a steady medium pace, you'll get some nice scarfs out of it. I've been kitting for 25 yrs & this machine is a god send because my hands don't work as well anymore. I could only give not more than 6 scarfs a yr. & now I can give as much as 20 plus. I give my work to pre-school fundraisers. I LOVE THIS KNIT QUICK MACHINE !! .
