VINGLI 8FT Ornamental Windmill Backyard Garden Decoration Weather Vane, Heavy Duty Metal Wind Mill w/ 4 Legs Design (Green, 8, Feet, 21.6, Inches, 8.00, Feet, 25.98, Inches, 25.98, Inches)

Rated 5 stars! Absolutely confusing as heck to put together but when you figure it out it’s beautiful. Good price. Good deal. Works great. Please update the instructions. Edit-I went outside and the windmill was on the grown and two legs creased. It was attached to the ground with the pins provided but it creased at two of the legs. It fell so hard that even the blades bent. I have contacted the seller 4 times and no response yet. How do they expect you to undo all of the parts, box it back up and send the original back all BEFORE getting any help, refund or replacement? The legs definitely need to be stronger. You can literally bend them with your bare hands! How do I know? I tried to bend them back to see if it would still stand. They bent back like butter but failed to stay. I am in S TX and we have little to no wind but it fell anyway. Should be strong enough to hold up in little to no wind. If I get any response from the seller, I’ll update. Otherwise I changed to 1 star because this windmill is ridiculously weak and so is customer service. Edit-seller responded and placed windmill. Changed back to 5 stars!

The instructions are very poor,I ended up reading other people's reviews that wrote how to assemble it,,thank you,I already had braces on it by the instructions that came with it and had to take them off and start over again..Someone else mentioned they got some lock washers,, so did I and I highly recommend to use them on every bolt and nut..also got some steel round bar and made 4 longer anchors to support the 4 legs..it survived wind gusts up to 40 mph last night.I got the green with yellow and the paint job is very good, goes with my John Deere mower,,over all very satisfied it looks great in the yard..

Inspected close, not yet inspected I purchased this with the intent of using it to power 12v lighting and charge an accompanying battery pack It is extremely well constructed with good quality steel and paint with the red accents being sprayed on with no form of primer leaving the red paint falling off (purely a cosmetic thing)

I like this windmill very much. Takes a little time assembling but is a great conversation piece and looks great up here on top of the mountain ! Also ... if you live in an area where you get strong winds... 15-30 mph or more , you definitely are going to need to anchor it to the ground in some fashion! I tried the steaks that are included and they are kind of a joke and worked half okay for about 1 day before they were pulled out of the ground and rendered useless. I live on top of a mountain where we get very strong winds sometimes and this thing will blow over if not anchored because remember, this is purely ornamental! It's not super heavy duty it's not extremely heavy the whole thing probably weighs 5 to 10 lb if that, so I used a ground rod cut into four pieces so they were approximately a foot to a foot and a half long and I pounded those into the ground at the base of the windmill and piled some larger rocks around each leg at the base. I have had 35 mph wind since I installed this and it stays perfectly still and the blade does spin extremely fast especially now that I have lubricated the blade bearings and where the blade drops into the top of the windmill I lubricated that very well so it will not rust over time and that allows it to really spin and completely quietly. For the price you can't beat this I have seen other similar windmills in local stores for $200 that aren't as nice as this... so for the price, for a very nice looking ornamental windmill you really can't go wrong.. !

It's fun to put together by yourself

Terrible instructions and very vague.

My son loves the windmill now that it is together. The directions were not clear.

Assembly does take some effort, but for the price this is a bargain and a great feature. However, if you have anything close to moderate winds, the tie downs that come with this are completely unusable. My windmill has blown over several damage damaging the vane and wheel. Also had to replace all the nuts with locking nuts as the windmill will shake so much (I'd guess it's now out of balance) and blow itself apart without sturdier hardware. Will need to pour a small pad with tie-downs to keep this from falling over. Customer service is great and replaced a missing piece when I called in, with a completely new windmill. Update: I've decided this really does not hold up in anything but light winds. The stakes are useless, I've poured a 240lb pad and strongly secure the windmill. Even so, the wheel fin has bent at the screw hole, everything vibrates so bad that all the nuts/bolts shake loose and need locknuts and lock-tite to secure. The wheel itself has also lost a blade as well and no where to be found. It's wonderful to watch when it does work, but it doesn't really hold up as a permanent fixture and I'm not about to move this thing in and out of the my shed whenever the wind picks up. Sort of pointless at that point!

Love my new windmill. Installed in front yard with quick set cement in ice cream pails for feet and covered with mulch. (quite windy here) Put string of 200 lights (66 feet) from Amazon and looks really nice at night. (lots of colors to choose from) Don't forget to oil windmill rod. Not that hard to build, rather sketchy instructions, need 2 people about 1 1/2 hours.

Good Windmill and I happy with my purchase.

Way better quality than i was expecting. 2 people to put it together is way easier

This red windmill was under $50! Not sure why it was priced lower than the other colours but I absolutely love it. Looks great in the back yard.

We wanted this windmill for our back yard. Assembly instructions are not the best but common sense will let you assemble this in about an hour. It looks great spinning in the wind. It seems rather well made hopefully it will last but time will tell.
