can a person vary the speed? is it only 1 speed, 50 rpm?

No just one speed. Mine did not work at first but does now? Anyway it only works in the sun and does not charge for night use.

Hi, It is unfortunately only 1 speed. You cannot adjust the speed. It does spin really good when in direct sunlight. But note, it does not store power to constantly keep spinning when the sun is not shining. In low cloud cover, or at night the spinner will stop. It does however have an on and off switch. It is a real good battery saver. I was going through batteries like crazy with the battery operated spinner.

No....it is just on or off depending on the sunshine. It sounds fast, but for our wind spinners, it is perfect!

Yes. It is variable speed and you will have better control if you slow it down some.

VERY perceptive question-- I'm happy to report that this constantly surprisingly capable device can indeed be tweaked to revolve at very slow speeds. Keep in mind that the weight on the turntable you're trying to tweak is a key aspect-- and the turntable weights I've personally had actual experience tweaking to very slow revolving speeds are quite slight = original art work smallish sculptures. So, keeping that fact in mind, here's how I do it ... I *Power On* the turntable with the smooth-turning Speed Control Knob turned all the way "Off" = no turntable movement at all. Then, I gradually turn the smooth-turning Speed Control Knob in the *Increase Speed* direction until it starts revolving. And now here comes the *Tweak Trick*-- since the turntable is ***already revolving,*** I can now v-e-r-y gradually reverse-turn that Speed Control Knob in the *Lower Speed* direction ... and Lo & Behold, the turntable will start to slow down, so much so, that it's turning very slowly. Like I said-- amazing and surprising capabilities. BUT-- if you yourself are intending to set a relatively *greater* weight on the turntable, hoping to achieve the same v-e-r-y slow RPM's that I and my very light weights can achieve-- at this moment ***I don't know from actual experience if that's possible.*** But I'd be more than happy to set any weight you'd like me to test for you on the device, and then see What's What regarding v-e-r-y slow RPM's and the weights you intend to use, and then report the results back to you. Your v-e-r-y perceptive technical question is exactly the same sort of question I'd be asking in your circumstances ... and so, I'll try to help you out just as much as vice-versa.

There is no adjustment. it's 1 speed only. There is not even an off switch.

I don't remember if it had a setting to change the speed or not. However the balls did come out at various angles and speeds. Keep in mind that this is a low quality product. We used it once or twice and wound up throwing it away.

One speed. Don't let that deter you from this tool. After two years of using it I've found no need yet to have variable speed. I use it to cut screws, grind welds and with an added disk, sand wood VERY aggressively.

The one I have, which matches this one pictured, is 3 speeds. 33, 45 and 78.

It is variable. Speed is adjusted with a small wheel on the body of the tool.

The short answer is "no" assuming you've found the 2 speed switch that changes the speed range from about 2 miles an hour to 4. The motor speed is a function of the battery voltage and load (how much the loaded vehicle weighs and whether it's on a hill) and that limits your options. In theory you could spend a lot of money and change out the small transmission or put different range motors in, but those aren't practical options unless you have a small machine shop.

It seems to go faster when the object on it is heavier, but no, you cannot adjust the speed. But I absolutely love it! I cannot say often enough just how great I think this gadget is.

I don't think that you can change the speed to go any faster or slower. The best way to find out is to call the manufacture.

Greetings:I will give you a qualified yes on the variable speeds. THe motor is a standard brushed DC motor, so load and drive voltage affect speed. You can vary the speed by either varying the drive voltage, or, as in current automobiles, with a pulse-width modulated source.Hope this helps!Terry S.

if it only has one speed, on/off, it is considered a fixed-speed. but it's not always high speed.

No this is not speed controllable, most single phase motors are not speed controllable as they have an internal start switch that is governed by the motor speed, so you can't slow it down or you will burn it up.

The speed is trigger regulated. Very light trigger so no problem regulating or running at different speeds

This model has forward, reverse, high & low speeds. They are not variable speeds. Jeff & David gave the best info. Reggie

I don't think you can change the size for the temp, but the Rpms are accurate and it's not fast but it's not late it's in between it's just a little bit laggy.
