Review on 🏎️ VXB 608ZR02 ZR02 PTFE Ceramic Miniature Bearing: Unparalleled Performance and Durability by Sam Davenport

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It is advertised with 8 bearings but there are actually only 7

Based on some other reviews and my experience it seems it's a bit of a gamble on which bearing you get. Someone else said they have a 6 bearing assembly (instead of the 8 bearing assembly shown). I have 7 bearing arrangement. Better than 6 I think but not as good as the 8 bearing assembly they show in the photos. So keep in mind that you will pay extra for a unit with 8 bearings. But you may or may not get it. However, for my needs (I do NOT build a spinner) a ceramic block with 7 bearings is enough. It performs slightly better (11 second spin time vs. 8 second spin time) than the other ceramic model I compared it to: TRB RC 8 x 22 x 7mm 608 Open Ball Bearing Hybrid Ceramic. But the 2RB brand is a few bucks cheaper, so I think they're about the same on a spin-per-dollar basis. If I were to build a spinner I would probably give it 2 or 3 stars. But for my needs, where I don't need to spin for more than 60 seconds, it's enough. However, please note that you may receive a 6, 7 or 8 bearing assembly, possibly at random, and your level of satisfaction may also vary depending on which one is sent to you.
