" ...  I then ordered a second one but, as mentioned in other reviews, it's no longer well built: it rattles and makes too much noise, the knob feels like it'll break at any moment, the cord is in a spot that creates a sore to watch and plug in, and on some of the settings it struggles to spin making an electric sound that feels like it's forced to move.  ...  "
