Sentro Knitting Machine, 48 Needles Smart Knitting Crochet Machine with Row Counter for Adults and Beginners, Automatic Circular Weaving Spinning Knitting Loom Machine Kit for Hat,Socks,Scarves,Gloves

I have been enjoying my Sentro knitting machine for a few weeks now. I have carpel tunnel and I've always wanted to knit, I just can't do it for any meaningful amount of time. This allows me to easily knit hats and scarves very quickly and without causing discomfort and pain. I've been able to use several threads of yarn at once with this machine as well. There's a few characteristics of it that are a bit frustrating, such as the row counter doesn't always work as it should and it can be a bit hard to turn the crank at times. Sometimes it's hard to turn because there is an issue with the yarn, but not always it's something I can see. Also I do want to address how hard it was to attach the suction cups to the base ( the struggle was real, I almost had to call for backup ) and the machine is very wobbly. It could be the surface I'm using it on, but it's too cozy where I'm at and it's no problem to just hold on. The downsides are not too bad, very easy to work around. If you want to make easy hats and scarves, this is for you. There's a small leaning curve, but after a few hats I got the hang of it.

This was such a great product that came with a lot of accessories. There were no missing parts. It was a great value for my money as it included yarn. I do recommend to only use thin yarn as I broke my previous machine using very thick, wooly yarn. If the wrong type of yarn is used, it can potentially ruin your machine hooks that create the pattern, ruining the efficiency of a machine. It does take time to learn how to use it, but after you get past that stage, it’s so easy to make scarves, blankets, hats, with this machine! It functions efficiently.

It worked well the first time I used it and overall does what it’s supposed to do. The only issue I ran into is that it will jam if you don’t use the yarn that comes with it or a very thin yarn. Once I figured that out, it worked fine.

I recently purchased the Sentro knitting machine and was extremely disappointed. The machine is made almost entirely of cheap plastic, which made it feel very flimsy and unreliable. The handle wouldn’t even turn properly, making it impossible to use. After struggling with it for a while, I decided to return it. I then bought the Addi King, and the difference was night and day. The Addi King is of much higher quality, and it works smoothly without any issues. I would highly recommend spending a bit more for the Addi King instead of wasting money on the Sentro.

These were a huge hit with our 2 granddaughters, 8 and 10 for Easter. Both absolutely squealed when they opened them. Appears to be good quality, comes with everything they need to get started. They watched a video today and both were on their way. Recommend highly. We will be purchasing more products from this company.

Works and counts as it should

Machine is not functioning correctly. Goes around two times; on the third time around it always/consistently drops the chain. Re-worked tension, etc. Nothing changes when the third row attempts to begin. Would not recommend.

This little machine is very helpful for if you want to crank out panels or tubes for a project. I believe I averaged about 40-60 rows per 10 minutes when things are working properly. The product looks nice if you get the tension right as well. There are some negatives. The machine feels mid quality, as if you use it too hard it will break. If you set the tension gauge to tight this feeling becomes more obvious. The row counter works about 60% of the time but it's easy enough to manually count. I've seen videos that it's possible to fix this if you disassemble the machine, but I'm not going to risk that. The only time I have issues with a stitch slipping is when I change yarn and I don't get the tension correct. This is easy enough to fix with a crochet hook. For the panel setting, I did have some issues with the end stitch on each side coming loose, but after a small practice panel I figured out how to correct this easily. I find it only really works well with size 4 and 3 yarns, so beware of you want to use it for anything else. If you have a yarn that frays or splits easily, be prepared for tricky stitch pick ups if something goes wrong.
