Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pottery Wheel 25cm Pottery Forming Machine 350W Electric Pottery Wheel DIY Clay Tool with Tray for Ceramic Work Ceramics Clay (25cm)

I have been doing pottery on and off for the past 10 years. During that time I have either signed up for classes or joined studios but it's always so expensive! I now have access to a friend's kiln but I am in no place to drop $1,000 on a nice wheel so I decided to try my chances with this one. I was tentative because I've only used studio wheels but I am honestly so impressed with this little wheel! It is very small and doesn't use bats which I decided that I like. Bats always seem to be wobbly and throw the piece off center but I don't have that problem with this wheel! It is a little rickety when you first put your foot on the peddle but if you keep it there all is good. All in all I am very satisfied for the performance and value! It's definitely not a nice studio/ professional wheel but for what it is it's wonderful! I recommend this wheel if you love pottery and are on a budget.

This wheel was designed for student and home production use. It is reliable and simple. Speed is variable but pedal reverts to stop so you must press or put a block under it to stay steady.You can throw consistently.

This inexpensive wheel is not going to have the quality materials of a $1000 pottery wheel. Everything is made of thinner and lighter material. BUT for the price it is an amazing value. The folks, who designed this wheel, were able to pull together a well-functioning wheel with modest materials. In short, it works and seems to work quite well. I've not had it long enough to speak to its durability.The wheel is low, so you will need to raise it about 8 inches, depending on your preferences. I started out with a pair of concrete blocks, which seemed to be about right for me. But because I needed to move the wheel about from time to time, I built a small lightweight base out of scrap wood.The wheel has more power than I expected. I've centered 3 lbs of clay with ease and the motor did not slow. Something to consider is that the overall weight of the wheel is around 25 lbs. So, if you are going to lean in for centering larger pieces, you may want to place the wheel against a wall or something heavy so that it does not move.The foot control is very responsive. I can slow it down to a crawl. The high end speed seems about right for centering.All in all, it was an excellent buy.

Love how it works.Practice practice practice

I use this in my small classroom for middle schoolers. It does slow down when you put significant pressure on it during centering, but thats not usually necessary, so it works great!

Didn't take up space at all.

it works very well and doesn't rattle at all. I recommend it

Guarantee genuine and quality. Very durable.

It took me a long time, and it was still very strong.
