This has been discussed a few times in the past.
I have one and it works really well with some of my machines and not so well with others.
Overall, I like it and it is more convenient than having to re-thread the machine to wind a bobbin.
I think it depends on what type of machine you have.

I have one for my longarm's bobbin. It works fine, but not great. I found it necessary to use one of those thread holders that brings the thread ABOVE the cone about 10". Then the hook on the top of that thread holder needs a bit of drag with the addition of a small wad of batting. It sure beats $80. or more for the "good ones".

I love mine!!! I needed it because I wanted to make lace gifts for Christmas but it was hard to wind the bobbin on my professional embroidery machine...I just couldn't reach it and I wanted both sides of the lace to look the same. I took a few bobbins to the store with me and asked them to show me how to use...well, it was a dream come true!!!!I highly reccommend it!!!

I think it just depends on what machine you are using and how many bobbins you need to wind. I have one and don't use it that often- sometimes I find it just easier to use the sewing machine to wind the bobbin then set up the winder :? LOL
