⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Priya Nair - Knitting Enthusiast & Home Crafter
"I bought the Base Model in January 2025 to start a side business making personalized socks. It’s surprisingly powerful for a semi-automatic machine. I love being able to program my own patterns, and the tension control works well with cotton blends. Setup took some trial and error, but once I got the hang of it, production became smooth and consistent."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dmitri Volkov - Production Manager, Nordic Sock Co.
"After switching from an older flatbed model, the RB-6FTP’s 0.8kW energy efficiency and CE/RoHS certification made it a no-brainer for our EU-compliant facility. Running it 18 hours a day since April 2025, we’re averaging 190+ pairs per hour with minimal downtime. The stainless steel components hold up beautifully under continuous use."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
