Great product, looks nice in the yard or garden. Set aside time to assemble, many, many bolts and screws.

One GREAT Windmill. Looks just like the big ones and is a true asset to our yard. We have received many comments on how nice it looks.

Wife wanted a windmill for our place in the country. This was it. good price,fast shipping. No problems with the item. May not buy another, who needs a second windmill. Friend has the same one and it's over 50 years old.

I have always wanted a windmill in my backyard. I ordered it one night when my husband was asleep and he woke up to say, "You ordered a WINDMILL online"? Well, yes. It arrived quickly and was very easy to put together. We have a medium-sized backyard and it looks perfect. I do think it could look good in a smaller yard if it was not crowded with other things. Very non-obtrusive, but a lovely accent. It makes my morning to look outside and see which way the wind is blowing and to watch the mill spin. A great purchase! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We are extremely happy with our windmill. It shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition (very well packaged). The windmill is exactly as described and looks great in our backyard. I know some reviews complained about the directions, but if you lay the parts out, group like items together, and follow the directions exactly, you won't have any problems. Our windmill went together quickly and easily. Don't be fooled by some of the other windmills with the same or similar picture - this is the one you want!

We had an ornamental windmill for ten years until the blade fell off. It was small and had been repaired multiple times...Going through a year without it, we realized we needed to replace it. It is surprising how much we had come to depend on the wind conditions outside especially during the cold windy upstate NY winters!

We finally decided on this one and we are so happy we did! It is very well constructed and larger than our old one, so in our "advancing age", it's much easier to watch! I can tell that we will enjoy this one for a much longer time.

I agree, the instructions were a bit mimimal, but the end product was well worth it! The two of us figured it out and it stands tall outside and picks up the slightest breeze!!!

After a four-week "temporary backorder" I got my windmill from Northern Tool.
The windmill is manufactured by American Electric Company in Iowa. Made in the USA?
You would expect quality and you get it! It is well built; however, the fan is out of round
but is balanced! It looks like the fan is rolling over bumps! If manufacturing had fixtured
it properly, it would not be out of round. QA is not doing its job! So much for made in the USA.

Great looking Windmill. Exactly what I was looking for. It will take a little time to assemble but seems to be very sturdy. There is a warning if placed in an area with STRONG winds without some blockage extra anchoring may be required.

Fast shipping. I ordered it on a Sunday and it arrived Thursday. Very nice, all galvanized steel which is a very
big plus, no nylon bushings like on the cheaper windmills. It has 36 nuts and bolts, slot heads and square nuts.
I put it together on the front room floor, I work slow so it took about 1 and a 1/2 hours. Don't forget to leave all
the nuts and bolts loose until you have it all together. This one is for the front yard. I have a cheaper one in
the back yard, seeing this quanlity makes me want to junk it and buy another one of these for the back yard.

The Windmill was shipped in a very quick manner. Product is very well made. My existing windmill was NOT nearly as well made or structurally sound. Was able to put it together by myself. The only negative thing I can say about it, was the instructions were minimal, and one would have had to have experience in putting something like this together, or they would have difficulty in doing it. I would have preferred a star like bolt, which I think would have helped in tightening etc. I would recommend this American Made Product to anyone who likes the touch of a windmill to their yard. I expect years of enjoyment in seeing it.
