Cheap Inferior brings down the good
All parts are important in the use of this machine. That includes the Water Pump and hose that goes with it. Heat up this spindle and its gone. So I know you need to be price conscious in choosing the right items to include but these two items are total junk. Their sending me another pump but at this quality I won't be trusting it to keep my spindle cool. The hose I'm getting better suited hose to replace it. Outside of that its been working ok. Since my setup is different then just their spindle the setting needed to be changed so it would match my machine.

Works like a charm. Up and running in under an hour.
I got the 110V version, and it's great. The other reviews are correct: the manual is... iffy at best. But after I purchased, the seller/manufacturer sent me a link to a video which includes instructions on how to program the VFD before you run it with the included spindle. You MUST follow these instructions. I'd list them here, but I don't know if locations or values will change. All together, there were 5 values that needed changing plus the initial value to reset to factory defaults. It was quick and painless.Wiring, on the other hand, was less quick, but still relatively painless. I followed the advice of pre-ordering a 16/4 SOOW cable to have on hand, and I made sure I had some basic 16 gauge spade terminals to crimp onto wires to hook things up to the VFD. All told, parts for connectivity you'll need for the 110V version are:1) a good, 25 feet of 16/4 SOOW wire (extra depending on how you want to run things)2) a grounded extension cord either with open wires on one end, or just a regular heavy gauge (16 gauge is fine) extension cord you can cut the extension end off of.3) solder and a soldering iron. I'd recommend at least 50w, as 16 gauge can take forever at lower temps.4) 7 (or more) 16 gauge spade terminals with crimper.5) smallish screwdrivers (phillips head and flat)The VFD has 9 screw on connectors on the base that have connections R, S, T, P+, PR, U, V, W, Ground.RST are the power input connections. For basic 110V to the wall, connect your hot and neutral to R, and S (or R and T), and connect the ground to the ground terminal (on the far side, so leave some cable length for your ground.To connect the spindle, you'll use the U, V, W, and Ground connections. But first, the side that attaches TO the spindle. You get a 4 pin plug that connects to the spindle. The pins are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4. You will need to solder the 4 wires of your 16/4 cable to 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3 are your 3-phase power. 4th pin is ground.Once you've soldered all 4 wires, connect the wire you soldered to pin 1 to U, pin 2 to V, pin 3 to W, and then connect that 4th ground pin either to an external ground or you can connect it ALSO to the ground on the VFD (connection 9, so you would have two wires attached there -- one from the extension cord, one from pin 4 on the spindle).And that's the basic wiring for spindle manual control. You can look up all the details in a variety of spots on where to connect your specific connections for whatever your particular CNC setup is, but that's the brunt of things.Remember to program in the right values as per the seller's youtube video BEFORE you start running things or you can damage the spindle (or even the VFD).Seller responded to all my questions promptly, and was very helpful. While this isn't a drop-in plug and play item, it's a really quick setup, and should have you up and running pretty easily.

I was skeptical but 1 year later I am convinced it a good product
I waited almost a year before my review because I could only find initial reviews. This spindle works great, and I expect many years of continued performance. I was worried about the bearing quality and getting slop in the shaft but that concern is gone. Caveats are that you need to know how to solder if you don't get someone to perform the soldering for you or learn and practice until you are proficient. The second and most difficult concern is setting up the controller. I remember the number of setting going above 100. It took me about a week to figure it out on my own. There is another review that states the company will send you the settings so if that goes away this is the way to go. I am willing to share what worked for me but I would say that I plan to ask the company and compare since I used trial and error and a good understanding of electricity and motors.Oh yeah, don't listen to that reviewer on YouTube that says that he couldn't get a 4 wire cord (Red flag) and he decided to omit the grounding wire. Completely irresponsible especially for a system that includes water. I also use 50/50 distilled water and car antifreeze for coolant.

So far it's great!
This is the 110v Huanyang 2.2kw spindle and VFD "kit." I've wanted a water cooled spindle for a while -- my PC 3.2hp router gets really hot after running for 10-15 minutes and I'm starting to do more 3D work which can run several hours. I had read one or two reviews from folks who liked the Huanyang 110v and were pleased. I don't have 220v available (without a lot of work) so I bit the bullet and went for it. I got "buyer's remorse" right after I ordered this kit: I read more reviews (on CNCzone) and they all panned the 110v. I considered returning the kit without even opening the box -- but I didn't. I spent several days looking at videos to learn how to set my parameters on the VFD, but when it came time to actually set it up, they appeared to be already set! (Glad I didn't automatically set the "reset parameters" parameter to factory defaults.) Another complaint is the Ground wire pin on the spindle -- "it's never connected." but when I checked continuity between the #4 pin and the spindle body, I got Zero resistance -- seems connected to me. The pond pump is cheap but sufficient. I have a 2x2 Avid CNC and the 15 feet of water line isn't really long enough. I bought additional 1/4" id x 3/8" od tubing to complete a loop from a 1gallon bucket to the spindle. I drilled out one of the extra compression fitting caps to accept the 3/8" od tube and it works great. I used a hair dryer to warm the plastic and fit them on the compression fittings. Soldering the spindle is not easy but it's doable. I used 16g wire from the spindle to the VFD and 14g wire from the VFD to Mains. Instructions for wiring is clear, and I got the rotation correct the first time! (Of course, I watched a lot of Youtube videos to make things a little clearer.) I have not tried to integrate the running of the spindle with my control software -- Mach3. That seems a little too daunting for me. The spindle comes with only an ER20 6mm collet, so you'll need to buy imperial if that's what you use. You'll also need wrenches: 21mm and 30mm.

You MUST follow the video!
Quick delivery, and excellent service, HOWEVER... Once you receive your order, us Canadians *MUST* go to the listing for this very same product on Amazon.com and follow the setup video included there... this spindle/VFD *WILL NOT* work with the factory settings (you will receive error messages, from which very bad things can apparently happen), so you MUST follow the instructions within that video to programme your VFD correctly. (Why that video is not listed here on Amazon.ca I do not know - it could've saved me from a lot of time wasted, frustration and potential damage.)

Good cnc spindle
The spindle works great so far. I’ve use it for about 2 hours now and it’s a really solid product.
