This is a great unit. Heavy and well made. The body is welded metal, not plastic. The only nit would be the lever to control speed coming in conflict with the forward/reverse switch. Very minor and def not a dealbreaker, but a different knob or a 5 deg bend outward of the lever would be expected. We are using it as a lapidary grinder for glass. Big diff in price btwn this and lap grinders!

Works well and is easy to get the hang of. Easy assembly and cleaning too.

It's my first wheel and I DO like it. I've used it almost everyday for a month from throwing to trimming and it does a decent job. Easy to use, and a strong frame. But it has a hard time keep it's RPMs when I try to center stiffer clay almost to a crawl. I am left foot dominant and the power and pedal cords are both long enough and accommodating. My biggest complaint is the plastic pedal. It does pop off its mounts and has popped off the pedal completely and with hands covered in slip trying to realign and pop the pedal back on. It happens more often the more often it happens. The tool kit is nice, cheap but honestly I'm still using some of them. Would I buy another for a friend? maybe. Would I buy again for myself? No.

She just started throwing so I wanted something that wasn't too expensive. She says it's perfect for her needs right now. Good product

This is my second time trying the Vivohome wheels and I'm disappointed again.The first time the wheel had metal slivers from the wheel that painfully got in my hands so I returned it. I decided to give this one a try after using professional wheels in the past but I absolutely cannot get the clay centered because the whole wheel wobbles with the slightest touch and at high speeds the whole thing moves.I was looking for an affordable wheel so I could make pottery on the side but it's best to save for a high end wheel like Shimpo. Will be returning, highly disappointed.

The pedal moves the hand shifter, which bumps into the knob for left or right spin, I might see if I can remove it. This causes an un-smooth increase in speed. Not a big issue, for me yet. The wheel has become etched and lightly pitted when I have a pat of clay down for a while. Most importantly, there is a flaw in the plastic, snap together splash guard, leaving a gap on either side, if water sloshes it runs down, under and around the wheel base and down the sides to the floor. I plugged mine with putty. But it’s silent, smooth, and darn cute. I’m a beginner, if it’s still running when I outgrow it then it’s a steal!! I still love it.

While the product works satisfactorily, it is definitely not a professional quality wheel. I was set to buy a $600 wheel but the well known company is having trouble fullfilling the orders and I wanted it right away, so I checked Amazon and found this one. I was afraid the torque would not be strong enough for centering, but that did not prove to be a problem. I've had a number of professional wheels over the years but I haven't thrown pots for five years and wanted to get back into it. Several characteristics are a little troublesome. The cord to the foot pedal is too short. It limits where you can put the wheel on stands or table tops. Otherwise you have to use it on the floor and sit on a low stool. I need to stand up to throw, so will build a stand for it. May have to put the pedal on a step. The wheel has a nice paint job which cleans easily but the removable pan is really hard to separate and put together, so I had to sand down the grabbers to make the joining of the two halves easier. The foot pedal is not as responsive as more expensive models but is adequate. You need to anchor the wheel somehow or when you center the wheel will move around because it is not very heavy.When I build a stand I will have a fence around the top to lock in the legs. the picture shows the wheel against a cupboard to keep it from sliding.The wheel is not made to throw big pots using 10 to 20 lbs of clay. But it should be fine for five lbs or so. That will make a lot of nice functional pieces.There's also no bat system. (platters that go on the wheel head to make for easy removal of pots to dry.) Anything you make you have to cut off with a wire. Be sure to order a pair of "lifters" so you can pick up wet pots without distorting them.I'm 82. so I'm past the days of throwing giant pots, but I think this inexpensive wheel will do nicely for what I want to do.

I'm relatively happy with the purchase. It was a cheaper pottery wheel for its size and capabilities. It seems to be working very well and is quite easy to use and clean. You can use this to throw the smallest of tea cups or the largest of pots so long as your pots base is not larger in diameter than the wheel which I have not had a problem with. It is a very good entry level pottery wheel.

Funciona bien pero el splash tray venÃa manchado de barro rojo por la parte de abajo. Cómo si alguien la hubiese usado y devuelto. De ahà en fuera funciona bien

For a home studio this is a great affordable way to create pottery pieces on the wheel.

As a Potter I don't think this is suitable for throwing pots. But I am very happy with it, I was looking for an electronic turn table to help me in creating pottery. It works great for me.
