I have 2 and use them all the time. As others have mentioned, make sure that you have sufficient room for them to rotate. A table is a better location than a counter where you are going to run into the wall. Also, I like the ones that are built like a lazy susan with ball bearings, a real base and heavy top. My sister has one (don't remember the brand) but it is very thin and difficult to turn. I don't know how you can do a "Twister" without one!
