At first you think, yeah, fine. But our cats are real sprinters. Four of them. Like from 0 to 100 (Savannah/Bengal). This exercise wheel just isn’t built for that. Not even half a year old and the pieces are flying off everywhere. It breaks exactly at the joints. It can’t handle everyday intensive use… which is exactly what you’d expect from this wheel. I also don’t think the outside is nicely finished. It would probably be more expensive, but a covering edge or cap would make it look completely different.

Absolute plastic rubbish and impossible to return. You can’t take the wheel apart without damaging it. Parts of the wheel snap together with plastic “hooks” that break if you try to take it apart again. This damages the product and support won’t accept a return. On top of that, the wheel is completely unstable, wobbles terribly and STINKS. I’ve had it in my living room for 3 days now and it still smells. And it’s LOUD. DO NOT BUY.

I bought this wheel for my 11-month-old cat. He’s really happy with it and runs at full speed. HOWEVER, some parts arrived broken. But that’s not all! Don’t try to assemble this wheel on your own. I spent 4 HOURS fighting with the pieces, trying to fit them together by myself. I thought I’d take a break when putting together the base... NOPE, the holes in the metal bars didn’t line up with the holes in the plastic base. Those were the most exhausting 4 hours of my life.

The cat really liked this and wore it out in five years. It's not quiet, but the noise is bearable.

The wheel is very loud and wobbly in its console where it runs. It’s definitely not worth the price that the manufacturer / Zooplus is asking for it. So I rebuilt it and mounted it on the wall. I used thick, multi-layered wooden boards cut to fit the wheel’s diameter, a wheel hub from an Opel Astra, a bit of laminate in the middle, and an end plate. Now it runs very quietly. This way, the little speedsters can use it at night without disturbing anyone.
