The conversion takes only a few minutes and is extremely beginner-friendly, with minimal risk of disrupting your settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour machine arrives factory-set to 14 mm (0.55 in), the most popular and beginner-friendly pile height for rug tufting. If you would like your machine set to a different pile height before shipping, please email us at hello@allthingseffy.com after placing your order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is also available in multiple colours: Yellow, Fluoro Red, Black, and Original Blue.

We recommend the AK-V over this machine because it has a longer lifespan. The AK-DUO has a shorter lifespan due to the cogwheel mechanism — it is essentially plastic grinding on metal constantly, and inevitably, this part will need replacing at some point after two-plus years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✨ \u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty threader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuler for accurate pile-height measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated loop-pile head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook for spring balancer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🛡️ \u003cstrong\u003eSix-Month Conditional Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour AK-DUO includes a six-month conditional warranty.
