I had one of these by Trixie, about 8 years ago which lasted 3 hamsters over those 8 years. Gutted I finally threw it away as these are now shocking bad quality. Not the study quality produce I bought those few years ago. Mine was warped on delivery and the cheap plywood style outter part of the wheel further deteriorated within 2/3 weeks so got a full refund. Very disappointing form from Trixie. Excellent customer service from Zooplus for ease and fastness of refund though.

Whilst it is a great size for a Syrian hamster, it is very poorly made. The wheel sags forward on its mounting and consequently knocks against the base. I took it apart and put in a spacer to raise the height a little. This solved the problem for a few weeks and the hamster has been loving it. However, another knocking noise has now started and the hamsters feet make a lot of noise on the hardening Cork. My daughter is now sleeping with ear plugs! I wouldn't recommend it.

Previous style was hardy, good sturdy bearing. This new style clunks continuously and loudly. Very irritating

This is a great wheel for Syrians but only last's month's and then it drops and the wheel rubs on the the wooden stand. My Husband tried to fix it but it's impossible , which is such a shame. Also it can't really be cleaned with it being like cork inside .

I have brought a new wheel for my hamster and it was delivered and was completely broken! They also sent me the large wheel instead of the medium one up that I desired, it’s lucky that my dad had a few screws and WD40 ( and that it even fit in the cage 😂) I was saving for ages to save up the money for this item and I’m not happy on what came out of the box. - 11 year old.

lasted about a month before the wheel started to drop and there is no way to screw it back on

Had this wheel a few weeks and when first looking at it the wheel was wonky and now it’s makes a horrible knocking noise, I was expecting better from this wheel I wouldn’t recommend if you want to sleep at night

I have two of these and they're both silent and secure. One came assembled wrongly but a few minutes with a screwdriver and glue gun and it's now running as smootly and silently as the other one. My hams both love their wheels, highly recommended.

For the first 2 days this was a great wheel. Big enough, some what silent etc. Utility I checked at night, and there was blood all over the wheel. The wheel had ripped off my hammys nail, I feel so bad for him. This is probably very rare and it’s still a great wheel but just be careful.

I put plasticote over this to protect it from damage but my Syrian hamster loves it defo go for 28cm if your hamster is a Syrian ! Fast delivery came perfect

wheel is very wobbly and loud ,no ball-bearing,poor quality don't buy

This wheel was so good to start off with, it was really quiet and my hamster loved it after a month or so the wheel sort of dropped so it now rubs on the stand when my hamster runs on it, making it very hard for my hamster to move it and also making it very noisy !

The wood is so heavy the wheel doesn't even spin and my hamster can't push it. Tbh I've seen loads of really good reviews for this but I think getting it from Amazon is cheaper and it looks looser on there.

Was thrilled with this when I purchased it but within a very short space of time it started to wobble and make a terrible noise, I gone back to my plastic wheel I had before, am disappointed because I love the natural look of it 😞

I usually have a really good experience with the tricks range but this particular item didn’t satisfy the needs of my ham. It looks great in any enclosure however, even to being with, was never silent and always made a rumbling sound. The first week was ok but it soon tilted at an angle which made even more noise, after a few weeks it squeaked and the cork lining of the wheel (I think that’s what it called) fell apart and ripped. Don’t recommend this product. 😕

I had this wheel for my previous hamster and it was silent and stood straight so I wanted another one for my next hamster but it’s came leaning forward and very loud, I’m not sure why they have changed how they make it as it was perfectly fine before.

I bought this wheel as an upgrade as my previous one begin to hit of the stand I thought as this one was wood it would be more sturdy. When I took the wheel out the box it was ALREADY hitting off the stand !! And even when I moved it so it wasn't as soon as any weight got put on the wheel it was right back to hitting off the stand. The noise from the wheel is diabolical, it is thr worst sound I've ever made a wheel make, I don't know if this is just a faulty product but I am not impressed.

I love the actual wheel & had one for ages, but upon trying to replace it last year & recently, the cork inner part doesn't meet the edges of the wheel & I would worry about paws getting caught potentially. I have raised the issue with zooplus who were very good at responding quickly & offered a prompt refund for the wheel & the postage (I asked re: the latter) & said they would pass on my complaint to the manufacturer. I seriously hope the issue gets sorted, as the wheel is fantastic & quiet.

Was fine and silent at first, but now 1 month later the noise is to much and driving me insane

Absolutely loved this wheel (1st one ordered) & when I needed a replacement I came straight here. However, each one I tried had gaps between the cork & the edge, so I would worry about paws getting stuck in the grooves. I have mentioned it in my returns & seriously doubt I will try one again, which is sad, as it is a superb silent wheel.
