Things to also consider: I'm from the UK, so we have 240V mains and I'm likely to need a transformer unless there are spinner made for the UK (I have no idea). Also I am on quite a tight budget, so I'm looking for the best all round deal to give me performance and 'bang for your buck'.
I know I am asking for blood from a stone, and I fully appreciate that I can't get everything I am asking for. However if people could point out a few good options with strengths and weaknesses then I would be extremely greatful.
Kind thanks in anticipation.

Message me your email address and I'll send you pictures of mine.
Should have access to scrap parts and tools to make it worthwhile.

I will say that it is nice to have your own spinner. You can save quite a bit of money versus taking your ball to the Pro Shop, and in time the spinner can pay for itself. Plus, with easy access to change the coverstock texture, you can play around more to see if you find a texture that you like better.

I went from a Donkee to a Vertex, for just the reason 10 in the Pit stated. I have been happy with my Vertex and it was less expensive but seems better built.
Here is their website:

AND THE GOOD NEWS IS
they say the have 240 V model that can be shipped overseas without your needing a transformer. You'll have to check with them for shipping, of course.

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.
