- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2021This wheel is of a much better build quality than I was expecting for the price, and is very simple to set up. Straight out of the box you just put the feet on and away you go. All controls are simple and easy to use which is handy when you're covered in clay.
I was concerned that it would be too small for me as I'm over 6ft and it is very compact, however I've had no problems at all using it comfortably and it fits neatly in the limited workspace I have. Also with it being small I wasn't expecting the motor to have the Torque to be turning larger lumps of clay but so far its handled it very well, only slowing down slightly with dry and quite stiff balls of clay.
The two downsides I've found are that the sink is not attached to the body of the machine so it moves around a little and the wheel head has no way of attaching bats. I've overcome both quite easily though by drilling my own holes for bat pins and gluing the sink down, so with a few modifications they're not really issues at all.
I've been making Ceramics for nearly 5 years but never tried throwing on a wheel, so I decided to get this to learn the basics then upgrade to a bigger wheel. If you're thinking of doing the same or want a cheaper solid wheel to learn the basics on I can't recommend this enough, it really is way better than I was expecting it to be!
