I spent $75 on a fancy cake turntable and it's honestly not worth it

I mean, everyone online acts like a heavy, expensive turntable is a must for smooth frosting. So I got one, the kind with the big metal base and the non-slip top. It cost me $75, which is a lot for a single tool. After using it for about six months, I keep going back to my old cheap plastic one. The heavy one is just too slow to spin, and it's a pain to clean. I feel like I have to fight with it to get a good speed for a clean edge. Maybe it's just me, but for buttercream and even ganache, my $15 plastic turntable does the same job faster. Has anyone else found that the 'pro' gear isn't always better for a home baker?

Mine completely changed my frosting game.

Wait, you mean you weren't using one before? How were you even surviving? My arm would fall off trying to get buttercream smooth with just a spatula. That little crank handle is a total lifesaver, I can't believe I waited so long to get one. The difference in how the frosting looks is honestly night and day.
