I’ve got the EEW Nano2 and absolutely LOVE it! My back issues don’t allow me to treadle and I’m a laceweight spinner. This wheel is perfect for me. If I ever decide to upgrade, it’ll be the EEW6 I’ll get going for.
Dreaming Robots makes great spinning wheels at a very affordable price compared to other e-spinners. And even when you buy yours through a reseller like I did (I’m from Europe) Maurice is helpful with advice when you have a question.

I LOVE MY NANO! I'm stuck at work so I'm watching videos to satiate me until I get home to my baby!!

Great video about the EEW Nano. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful spinning! I'm still learning my nano. Having a few tension issues with uptake but overall I love it!

[@roseduke591]

Thanks for your great video. Getting my Nano hopefully tomorrow.

I recieved my nano today! I love it so far. Only complaint is it overheats after about 3 hours of spinning. Definitely something to be mindful of.

Be sure to check out the tips file in the FB EEW group, or similar document in the Ravelry group. There are a number of things to check - overheating is not normal. Likely you have too much tension. Also quite possible you need to further secure your drive pulley (even if it seems secure when you start) and check your bobbin is all the way pressed together, and maybe with a piece of yarn between the end and the shaft, just to keep it really tight. Good luck with your spinning.

@@fridamartextiles thank you for the tips! Just checked it out. I'll definitely try them out.

@@ellie_wgnr5571 Great! I know a lot of folks are experiencing overheating, but I've been a beta tester for all of the EEWs, including the Nano, and put on several sessions of 3-6 hours of continuous spinning and never had any overheating. I think it's mostly that people aren't used to spinning with such light tension. It means you have to keep a very light hand on your fiber and pre-drafting is essential. Enjoy!

Got my purple one. It’s awesome! 💜

I love your roving. Can I get any details on it?

[@ilareynolds3271]

I got mine but it overheats. I got a little gamer fan to put under it, it helps a little but still over heats.. any ideas?
