SENTRO 40-Needle Knitting Machine vs Addi Express Professional Knitting Machine

Buy the Addi addiExpress Professional if you want a machine that lasts and knits smoothly for years. Its metal-and-plastic build, 22 needles and 5 spare needles hold up to steady use, and owners rate it 5 out of 5. The SENTRO 40 is the cheaper-feeling beginner toy: 40 needles make bigger tubes and it takes a drill adapter, but it is all plastic and rated 4 out of 5 from 12 ratings. Choose the SENTRO for wide, fast tube knitting on a budget; choose the Addi for build quality and finer yarn control.

• Choose the SENTRO 40 if you want the widest tube and flat panels for hats, bags and simple garments, and you like the idea of driving the crank with a drill.
• Choose the Addi addiExpress Professional if you want a well-built machine with spare needles and a table mount that knits DK to bulky yarn smoothly for years.
