Kaytee Silent Spinner Wheel For Pet Syrian or Large Breed Hamsters, Sugar Gliders and Gerbils, Large 10 Inch (Colors May Vary)

No complaints, and the hamster really seems to like it! [Update: It does get noisy eventually.] PRICE, QUALITY, PRICE FOR QUALITY: Good quality, appropriate price (on Amazon). I dunno what's the reviews saying the yellow thingie falls off; mine is fine and it's been weeks. I'm using it on the ground with the stand. SIZE: I heard the next size down was too small for roborovoskis except for babies, so I bought this one. It seems comfortable and spacious for my adult female roborovski, but not so big that I feel like I went TOO big. I'm happy that she has more running room (side to side) and that it's a flatter run for her (rather than her having to arch her back). GETTING DIRTY: Yes, you have to wash the urine & feces off of it from time to time, but why have a pet if you aren't willing to take care of it? This wheel is probably much safer and much more comfortable for their little feet than a wire one that the urine & feces can drop through, so, that's just how it goes. Suck it up for the sake of your hamster (and your ears). Besides, I don't see why wire wheels would need to be cleaned any less often (even if the need to do so isn't as immediately visually obvious) but, sadly, I bet a lot of people go weeks or months letting them get all nasty. That's a problem with the OWNER, not with plastic vs. metal wheels... NOISE: It's not utterly silent (duh), but it's so quiet that I generally don't realize that she's using it unless I look and see it. When you're lying in bed and thinking about it, sure, you can hear it a bit, but I was going insane from the previous wheel (even with olive oil on it), whereas now I never even think about it, ever. Her scritching and scratching about the cage is distracting for me, some nights, but never the wheel. [Update: Yeah, it gets noisy eventually, and now I'm back to needing earplugs. Took a few months though, not weeks.] Recommended! It's also attractive. I'm glad mine turned out to be purple :)

I have five hamsters at the moment so I bought one of these wheels to try it out since one of the wheels is so ridiculously loud it wakes up all the other hamsters and myself sometimes (luckily, I'm a heavy sleeper). It was too smooth for my five month old Robo, Nova, and she ended up flying off it multiple times before I just gave her her old one back. But she also runs at the speed of light and makes very quick stops that this wheel just isn't equipped for. So I put the old, crazy loud wheel back and gave this one to my Robo boy, Brüno. Well he is a wheel fanatic (if he's awake, he's running) and already had a wheel in his cage that was attached to a tube system, but he's approximately a year old (I adopted him from his previous owner who had gotten him from Petsmart so no one really knows how old he is) and he needed another option to use if he couldn't use the tubes as he is getting older. Well this is his favorite thing in the whole wide world. He takes turns running up the tubes to use the high wheel and then running down to use this one and then running up again. He's a little maniac but he's having so much fun so this was a great purchase for him. Then, my Campbell dwarf mother and daughters trio started fighting for no reason so I separated them and I had to move this wheel to one of the new cages and I ordered another of these wheels for the other. Now that everyone is settled, and I have five cages in my room, I will be ordering one more so Brüno can have two wheels in his cage. He was very disappointed when I had to take his new wheel away. Overall, I am entirely pleased with this wheel, and while it's not completely silent, the wheel itself it very smooth and could be very quiet if you don't have little chubby or lightning fast feet zooming on it. My one hamster that briskly walks on it, I don't even hear. But my hamster that goes full speed on it, I hear some shaking and big hamster stomps. But this really isn't an issue considering all the noise I get from Nova's. I am a very happy customer and I will be ordering another!

Update: it’s awful I wake up and it’s wedges against the wall and can’t move because it’s so light weight and poorly designed my hamsters moves it around and it gets stuck. It’s terrible and waste of my money Ehh it’s at a good price but I feel as though I need to buy extra things to modify it. It slides on the niteangel wooden platform and ends up scraping the sides of my cage making it hard for the hamster. Needs some kind of grip on the bottom to prevent it from sliding around the cage and constantly needing to be adjusted. Lastly it’s doesn’t exactly spin smoothly, it’s a bit choppy out of the box. Might need lubricant I’m not sure

This wheel is certainly quieter than the standard wheel I had. Since it's plastic, it's easy to clean too. However, the wheel will get loose and wobble after about 2 weeks of use. I think it seems to be the construction of the back attachment and the axle. Once this happens, it is still "quiet," but definitely not nearly as noiseless as when it is first used. I'm not sure it can be fixed, as I've tightened it as much as possible and it's still causing some vibrations (I'm using it attached directly to the side of the cage, btw). In any case, it works well enough that I can sleep. As for durability, it seems a bit worn after only 2 months. Then again, it hasn't broken yet. I'm just disappointed this product isn't made sturdy enough to maintain its original quietness after use by my new syrian hamster, who it is supposed to be for (as pictured on the packaging). It could work better for dwarves though. It's also a shame that amazon didn't let me choose the color I got, haha, but that's not really a problem. In the end, if you're looking for a fast, reasonable alternative to a screeching wheel, this will do it. But if you're willing to do some searching online, and maybe spend more money, try getting something else for syrian hamsters. For example: Wodent Wheel (heard lots of great reviews and comes in an 8" size), SAM Lightning Wheel/some other SAM wheels (have a slightly different design from the silent spinner that may work, after all they're also plastic), Karlie Wonderland Wheel (is 8" and silent, but it's wooden, so maybe not the best), etc.

Perfect for our mouse - fairly quiet and just his size. Took a while for him to begin to run on it, but he runs daily now and seems to be holding up well to washes.

They work well and are the most affordable but make sure you get the right size. This was too small for my chinchilla even though it says it is large. You need a large "wide" for larger rodent pets.

We have had one of these wheels for many years, but thought it was time to get a new one. We like the quiet spin and how smooth it is, and it is the perfect size for dwarf hamsters. However, Amazon sent me a broken one that didn’t spin well, even after adjusting the center knob, and had a small crack towards the center. The replacement one Amazon sent had already been opened by someone else and obviously got sent back for the same reason. I don’t know if this a product defect that some have or a shipping problem, but this one also had a small crack in the center. I am disappointed that Amazon sent me another previously opened and broken one.

I got this as a replacement to my rats' old Kaytee Comfort Wheel. The previous wheel they had would warp the bars of their cage if you were to hang it instead of using the stand, and would make a lot of noise as it would bounce up and down while the rats would run on it. Most of my rats were afraid of the old wheel, and only 2 of my 5 girls would use it. After only a few months of use the old wheel broke, putting me on the quest to find a new wheel for my girls that wouldn't have all the faults of the old wheel. That's where this wheel comes in. The Silent Spinner wheel is much quieter than the Comfort Wheel. Connecting it to the cage itself is super easy with the Silent Spinner, and it attaches at any T-joint of the cage, which makes it much more sturdy and stable, which also makes it much quieter as it doesn't bounce up and down while the rats use it. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase, and 4 out of 5 of my girls happily use it now.

Prima rad, maar de standaard ontbreekt in het pakket. Het pakket was ook niet beschermend ingepakt

Though small but good and stable. My hamster has been using it.

A qualidade é muito mais superior do que imaginava, e o diâmetro também está em um tamanho muito bom. Espero que meus gerbils usem e não consigam destruir. Queria ter comprado duas unidades mas essa era a última do estoque :(
