VEVOR 11inch Pottery Wheel, 350W Ceramic Wheel Forming Machine, Adjustable 60-300RPM Speed Handle and Foot Pedal Control, ABS Detachable Basin Sculpting Tool Apron Accessory Kit for Work Art Craft DIY

In general, I do not throw more than 5 lbs of clay. This wheel fits my needs perfectly. First, the cons: 1) the slowest speed is still a little fast for me. You'll get used to it and it doesn't affect the work, but still, I prefer to be able to slow it down a bit more. 2) it does not have bat holes. 3) at first, when the wheel head got wet, it seemed to get a bit discolored but if you wash the wheel head and dry it well, you'll minimize this problem. It does not affect the clay in anyway. The pros: 1) love the lightweight, easy to move around. 2) easy to use. I'm a beginner, it took me 5 minutes to figure it out. 3) the price point is perfect and affordable for a hobby, 4) works very well for under 5lbs, 5) easy to clean, the interlocking splash pan is very nice and easy to use and take apart. Overall, I'm very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it for hobbyists like me.

Bought this as a gift, and has been quite a good wheel. The speed variation on it, while decent, needs a lower speed setting. At the lowest speed, it’s still pretty fast for what it is. I imagine if it were being used for larger pieces, the speed would not be an issue. Over all, it’s an excellent starter wheel, and for the price, it is ridiculously good.

Don't get me wrong this pottery wheel is really great for that low of a price. It's not nearly as nice as some of the industry standard brands but this wheel is reliable and does what it's supposed to do. The speed is reliable and it's a great wheel for a beginner or a hobbies. I will say it in a bit small that I expected but nothing that bothers me too much. It spins smooth and works really wellI recently started getting back into pottery and don't have a huge studio space but I'm glad I started with this wheel. It's affordable (for me) and the compact size makes it easy to store away when not in use.My only issue was that when I got it the rubber feet on the bottoms of the legs were missing. No big deal, I'm not pick, and it didn't effect the performance at all.Great value for this price! I recommend the wheel for sure!

So I haven't had a single issue with this after a couple months use. Works great, love the speeds. The only downside for me personally is that I can't afford a kiln, and the fragility of air dry clay became a nuisance...so am going to try to re-task it as a cement pottery wheel rather than clay, because I just love using it. Good heft means it doesn't shift around, but light enough I can lift onto my work bench and use it standing, which my back prefers. I've seen "experienced" potters say stay away from the affordable wheels like this one...but I have to be honest, I think it's because they haven't even bothered trying it. I have been super happy with it, and would happily recommend.

Wonderful product, easy to use, turns out really nice items.

I've had this wheel almost 4 months and for the most part it has as worked as expected until today. I bought the wheel to see if I would enjoy throwing again after a bunch of years before committing to the expense of a more robust machine. In fairness I have been throwing almost daily foe the last 2 months ( the wheel arrived almost 4 months ago). I have never centered more than 4 1/2 pounds on the wheel. Today just as I finished a jar with a gallery and got ready to trim the base before wiring it off of the wheel, the wheel stopped. All of the panel lights were still on but it was dead in the water. I had been using the hand control so I pulled it back to the off position, pulled the plug and plugged it back in then tried the on-off button to see if it would re-set. When it came back on the wheel was going at full speed and none of the controls worked so I unplugged it again. This time the direction control and speed control worked. Like I said, great until it wasn't.

Plenty of power, very sturdy

I have to hand it to Vevor, I did NOT expect this level of customer support for something like this. If I were to just rate the product that I received, it would not be 5 stars. It had multiple issues, all of which got addressed by the support team sending me what I needed to fix them. Is it ideal? No. But this is a really cheap wheel! I bought it knowing that I'll have to invest some time to make it work for me. It had the high low-speed issue as other reviewers have mentioned. I know a little bit about electronics and was going to try adding a dimmer somewhere to fix it. But thought I'd reach out to them before I do that in case they have any suggestions. And to my surprise, they sent me the entire updated control panel which starts at the low speed of 5 (as opposed to 60 in the original panel). They also sent me a replacement belt that fixed a little bit of wobbling at high speed and new pins since one was the wrong size in the original package. Again, not ideal, especially since there were no instructions for any of these, but I'll take it any day for this price. Took me a bunch of email back and forth and a couple of hours to replace the parts, but now I have a fully functional throwing wheel at a much lower cost compared to other options.
