Fantastic
I was a little worried about the 115 degree heat in Las Vegas NV. This unit preformed flawlessly, even in the thunder storms we get here in July & August.

Not so great
Purchased this item 1 year ago for my grandsons to enjoy. Have had to weld tail twice. Three blades have seperated and required welding. Not very good quality

Comments about SMV American Ornamental Windmill:
Bought this windmill as a gift for my dad. Don't waste your time trying to use the screws provided with the windmill because they strip easily. Once upgraded bolts were purchased, the windmill was easy to assemble, appears to be sturdy, and looks great!

Comments about SMV American Ornamental Windmill:
HIGH VIBRATION AND WARBLING RIGHT AWAY. TIGHTENED ALL SCREWS. WITH ANY WIND THE WELDING ON THE BLADE RING CAME APART AND DESTROYED ITSELF. THE BLADE ASSEMBLY IS NO LONGER ANY GOOD. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. IT'S A WINDMILL, DUH, SUPPOSE TO LAST IN THE WIND, NOT DESTROY ITSELF.
Pros
- Attractive Design
Cons
- Always tightening bolts
- Blows over easily
- Quickly vibrated apart
- Rusts
- Stakes aren't long enough
Best Uses
- Someplace without wind
Comments about SMV American Ornamental Windmill:
Great to watch but within days it started vibrating apart. The first wind we had it fell over even though we had it staked down. Bent 3 fins. We've welded back together but now it isn't as quiet and it still vibrates apart. Poor quality. I'd suggest putting it someplace that is protected from the wind. If not, don't waste your money. We've only had this windmill for 2 weeks.

Comments about SMV American Ornamental Windmill:
This windmill has been providing me enjoyment for over 15 years. It is so well made that it turns in the slightest wind - maybe less than 2 mph. It is durable and with stands the rains of Seattle - and sometimes a bit of snow. It is excellent craftmanship -[...]
Comments about SMV American Ornamental Windmill:
We bought one of these 8 years ago. The windmill never stops entertaining us. Through out the blustery winter storms or the gentle delta breezes. It still works as good as the day we bought it. Highly recommend it for those who like to sit in the backyard and figure out where the wind is blowing and how fast.
