15 best spinners

Spinners are a real phenomenon of 2017. A simple thing, which is a series of rolling bearings, fixed with tension on a special case. In fact, this is an ordinary toy for distracting attention, but many consumers claim that it performs the function of a relaxer and an effective “pocket simulator” for fine motor skills of hands.

The first designs of spinners contained three petals and four bearings (one for each petal + one central). However, further development led to an increase in the number of "branches", a change in shape and size, the inclusion of lighting and the use of new materials for the body. Due to this diversity, we tried to choose for you 15 of the most extraordinary, interesting and, in our opinion, the best spinners in five different categories. When forming the final lists, the following main criteria were taken into account:

• the overall quality of manufacture, the presence of special "chips";
• consumer feedback on experience of use;
• the appearance and duration of the torsion;
• compliance of the price with all objective characteristics.

The best spinners with two faces

3 Spinner silver metallic

Spinner on a metal bearing, the rotation time of which in a stationary position is nearly 150 seconds. This figure was named by manufacturers, and more than once confirmed by user experiments. In terms of balance, it is perfect - here again, you can bring the results of measuring a fixed rotation. Of the additional options, it is possible to note the presence of a blue-red backlighting, dramatically diluting the monotony of the silver color. There are no other features behind it, but consumers are generally satisfied with the existing ones.

The cost of a spinner is relatively low - stylized competitors in this regard have gone far ahead (towards a price increase). The main problem of the “turntables” lies in the central bearing. Some users have noted a rapid loss in bearing performance, which indicates the mediocre durability of individual batches. It is treated quickly, but unfortunate sediment, alas, remains.

2 Spinner "Anchor"

Magnificent spinner model, the main characteristic of which is not working parameters, but appearance. This is a kind of collection option with a good balance and able to rotate in a stationary state for 120-140 seconds (figures depend on the type of coating).

The developers have thought over the design of the spinner to the smallest detail - the steel petals in the form of hooks of an anchor are stylized under a tree with inlay into the central part of three (probably decorative) diamonds.This gives the model a unique look, perfectly complementing the entire series of "turntables" of marine subjects. Concerning the cost, one thing can be said: a spinner is very expensive for the average consumer, but for a collector this price will not be a big obstacle.

1 Spinner hetai

An expensive and very attractive spinner from HETAI, combining, among other things, the function of a lighter. It has a built-in heating element (spiral), placed in a special secret compartment. At first glance at the product, it becomes obvious that the developers paid special attention to the design - both the look and styling for metals at the highest level. In terms of ergonomics, everything is also good - the double-spinner is perfectly balanced in weight and fits tightly on the arm. Alas, the manufacturer does not indicate the rotation time, so it is not possible to draw any conclusions regarding this component. The only obvious drawback of the spinner is, perhaps, in the price level - the sample will be interesting either to ardent collectors or to customers for whom high cost is not a problem.

The best spinners with three faces

3 Spinner diablo

Spinner for fans of the occult or fans of games with mention of the terrible "El Diablo". In contrast to the loud name, the appearance does not inspire any similar association - the gloomy color scheme (black petals in the shape of the devil's face and a suspiciously similar to beige (or gold) core) is not sufficiently canon for the image being drawn.

Nevertheless, the spinner has something to surprise a potential buyer. The presence of rings on each face makes it possible to make a kind of talisman - it is worth noting that in this role it really seems appropriate. As for the performance itself, there are no features in this area. It revolves for about 120 seconds on any surface, has a polished balance and cost around 1000 rubles.As a copy to the collection - perfect. But the expediency of a single purchase raises a certain amount of doubt.

2 Spinner VOLVAETEC Carambit

To say that this spinner is a real (original) work of art is not to say anything at all. A stylish metal triangle with sharp lines and transitions is made under the color scheme of kerambit - iridescent, lightly burned metal, fascinating with an amazing play of color.

The technical part is made to match the styling. This is not surprising - the market value of the spinner itself is a guarantee of high quality performance. The model has an excellent balance, reliably lies in the hand and is able to spin in one position in the order of 90-120 seconds. Of course, focusing on serious thought when using a spinner of this kind does not work out - its colors are more creative and creative, so you should think about something easy and creative for relaxation. For the rest, there are no restrictions on the use (as, indeed, in the case of other models).

1 Spinner "Cosmos 1"

A worthy three-petal representative of the space series of wooden spinner spinners. Perhaps one of the few "turntables", which really brings comfort and allows you to focus on pressing thoughts.

The wooden base has a space print, ideally complemented by metal parts - balls in the center of each petal and central rolling bearing with a dedicated cage. It is not known for certain what rotation indicators this spinner has, however, as regards the balance, users have no questions. In general, it can be stated with confidence that this model is bought completely “not for that purpose” - the contemplation of a simple design and a beautiful drawing attracts much more of its ordinary function. The cost also has to buy - this is the case when the design decision of manufacturers fully justifies the cost.

3 Spinner VOLVAETEC SN-021

Stylized as an ancient oriental theme spinner from the company VOLVAETEC, made in the best traditions of neat minimalism. On each of the four smoothed edges, hieroglyphs are carved, red on a black base. In turn, the core in which the central bearing is located is light gold made. Consumers like this color - many lovers of Japanese themes, as well as unruly collectors, “spin down” on the spinner.

It is known that VOLVAETEC is famous for the durability of bearings placed in spinners. Of course, the main share of merit remains for the supplier of the responsible part, the operation of which can be calculated for years. In addition to ordinary things, SN-021 really helps to focus when thinking about serious thoughts - the good thing is that the range of colors allows you to focus on such aspects, not leading the staff away from the often excessive creativity.

2 Spinner Jolly Roger

This is the case when deliberately careless execution creates the necessary relief to emphasize the main idea of ​​design. The metal spinner of the pirate theme is a canonical skull (under which the central bearing hides) and bones (acting as improvised faces), with a very uncanonical lightning scar, a la "Harry Potter".

Despite the apparent powder coating, the capture of the spinner is comfortable and surprisingly pleasant - much better than on a number of expensive “turntables”.In fact, the only problem of the Jolly Roger is the difficulty of maintaining a balance - on individual copies (although the production is massive) there is a slight “weight bias” towards one or several faces, which often slightly hinders unwinding and leads to premature braking spinner.

1 Fidget Spinner "Shuriken"

An improved version of the triangular spinner in kerambit. In fact, this is the same concept, but already having four facets and resembling a Japanese shuriken. It is made using three types of material - metal, plastic and wood, “fitted” to one color range.

On the technical side, everything is pretty ordinary - the model is balanced, although users sometimes note some beats. It does not have any peculiarities, since its appearance compensates for the lack of fashionable "chips". As a result, an improvised shuriken will become an ideal attribute of any ninja-themed fan, but it will also suit consumers who are not interested in such nuances.

3 Fidget Spinner "Metal Flower"

One of the most fascinating metal spinners with hypnotic spiral effect, which creates an interesting torsion pattern. It is made in the form of an asterisk with pointed bevelled edges, due to which the rotation time in statics can reach an amazing three minutes.

The appearance of the spinner speaks for itself - this is not a plastic toy whose possession absolutely everyone can afford. The cost of this copy passes for 1.5 thousand rubles, therefore, only ideological users or avid collectors can appreciate the perfect balance and beauty of the product. Obviously one thing - "Metal Flower" can become a real pearl of any model range.

2 Spinner chameleon saw

An improvised "saw" in miniature, with seven small balanced edges. It is not very popular among users, but rather acts as a “trophy” model for replenishing your personal collection.

The performance is interesting, extraordinary, successfully combined with the option of colors. “Chameleon”, or painting under the kerambit, does not have the opportunity to focus on serious thoughts, as we said a little earlier, but it is ideal for turning to creativity and creativity. Actually, these are the same characteristics that distinguish this spinner from many others. For the rest, there is a striking similarity with serial or other multi-element models - since it is rather difficult to maintain accuracy in such an abundance of fine details, the “saw” is somewhat unbalanced. This imposes certain restrictions on the operation, but does not cause serious consequences.

1 Fidget Spinner Iron Man

Spinner of the famous comic series dedicated to Marvel's character - Iron Man. It has three large and three small faces in the form of triangles, extending to the edge. These petals do not contain bearings, since the “spinner” itself is not classical. The main rotating element - the central ceramic bearing - is located under the lining in the form of a golden triangle. The entire body (base) is made of lightweight aluminum alloy.

It is very difficult to find really pleasant features of a thing, in the characteristic of which special properties the item is indicated: “it looks cool”. Perhaps, as the only solid plus you can highlight the original metal box, which is used to hold the spinner. The disadvantages, alas, are also missing. Firstly, such a high price can become, the main part of which is charged for the seriality of the model.Secondly, the manufacturer honestly warns of a significant level of noise during rotation, which can be a real hindrance for sensitive people.

The best spinners of the original form

3 Fidget Spinner Biohazard

Regarding Biohazard, you can tell very little. Spinner is unique in its form and is included in a special collection, in connection with which its cost almost closely approaches the mark of two thousand rubles. It is surprising that the complexity of the mold and workmanship did not prevent the manufacturers from debugging the balance - with a good start, the rotation in one position can last for four minutes. Regarding the design, everything is rather dim, but in the theme: the core has a beige tint and is made of brass, while the petals diverging in the direction (the shape of which makes the balancing once again amaze) are made of ferrous metal. The built-in bearing resource is great - so far no user has complained about the sudden "death" of a small support. In general, Biohazard justifies the price requested for it, but the viability of the acquisition for an ordinary user is still highly questionable.

2 Fidget Spinner "Gear"

Another unusual contender for the title of the best original spinner is made in the best traditions of technical thought. This is an improvised gear transmission, which has in its design as many as seven rolling bearings of different sizes. Ordinary torsion here is accompanied by a real rolling wheels relative to each other, which creates an incredibly addictive visual effect.

The gear wheels are made of brass, while the case, which fixes all the transmission elements, is a metal product. In general, it is a decent copy for everyday use, as well as for an improvised home collection.

1 Fidget Spinner Magnum

Spinner, whose original idea of ​​creation seemed to be complete nonsense, however, was crowned with incredible success. This is the only case (for the entire rating, and, perhaps, for the entire market), when the respectability of a thing completely overshadows its original purpose. “Magnum” looks so cool that it can become an integral attribute of style. Needless to say, spinning an improvised drum from a revolver not only calms, but also allows you to bring a note of creativity and healthy confidence to your ideas.

The design of the spinner is thought out remarkably. Bearings in the form of sleeves enter the drum with a slight tightness, which prevents them from spontaneous falling out during rotation. Perhaps this is the most successful and most entertaining model of the entire rating, combining moderation and daring chic.

How to choose a good spinner

The specificity of the spinner choice is still akin to the lottery - the consumer is guided only by the appearance and the presence of special “lotions”. However, we recommend paying equal attention to other important parameters:

Balancing. An important point for those who have fun with the constant spinning of the spinner for a while in the hope of achieving a better result. The more accurate the balancing, the less visible beats occur when the product is rotated and the less angular velocity is lost with each full revolution. Therefore, acquiring a spinner, do not be lazy to feel the degree of balance of the faces.

Body material. The parameter on which depends not only the price, but also the shelf life of the spinner. The most common case is plastic, the most durable is metal, but among the variety of models there are a number of specific samples, the case of which is made of pure ceramics, wood or dense rubber.

Bearing material. In the case of a bearing, the manufacturing material influences the degree of smoothness and durability.Traditional metal bearings show worse results than their ceramic counterparts, but they are much easier to get and cost much less.

Purpose A slightly illogical parameter indicating the use of a spinner. If cheap copies do not carry any esthetic load and can be used in everyday life, the more expensive and original counterparts, sold in small editions, may well become worthy of collectible (display) models, the value of which lies precisely in appearance.

Lack of mechanical and visual defects. Often, buyers do not attach importance even to a cursory examination of the integrity of the purchased product, which, in some cases (especially when purchasing an expensive spinner), can be a big mistake. Always make sure that the model is fully functional before you exchange it for valuable banknotes.
