Review on 🏺 Yofuly Mini Pottery Wheel: USB Pottery Machine with 6 Shaping Tools for Ceramic DIY Craft, School Teaching, and Home Use by Angela Rodriguez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works. You may need to work on it a little before using it.

Basically what I signed up for for $80. It works. It's functional. It has 3 wheels instead of 2. (My #1 cool thing about it.) I bought it thinking I might replace it later. I wanted to get my hands on the 3rd wheel. I read a comment that the car cannot be leveled before purchase. Once obtained, this thing requires some work. Basically it is a question of the external design. It's not the best in the world. The thing is good, but some details are wrong. On my car it's the rev knob and the feet on the underside. The speed controller is oblique. This does not affect operation but is not level with the side of the machine. The panel covering the floor is randomly drilled, screwing the legs in at an angle. If so, then I don't think it's worth adjusting the legs. For me, it was because I didn't want to leave them unscrewed so they could shift or fall off during use. It stays where you put it once you line it up, but you can also leave it fully bolted to protect the machine itself. I did that to mine. I then flipped the board over to fit better and put the rubber feet on the bottom (I adjusted one with another layer of foam tape because it was still a little wobbly). Now everything is in order. Spins pretty fast. controls well. I've tried stopping it with my finger several times and I don't see any problems operating it. However, be aware that this isn't the best design, and set your expectations for what you get. It won't fall apart, but is also likely to be a problem for most people if they have to adapt to build issues. So if you can't take it, leave it. If you're willing to put up with it I think it works great for a good price. And quiet. winner in my book. But still only 3 stars. It would be much better if only it didn't have arms and legs pointing at an angle. A great car that just needs a completely different look. Edit: Additional notes, (1) don't try to bend back the power switch or you'll need a new motor speed map controller and experience to replace it so you don't get electrocuted. break yourself or further. I ripped mine clean. It was better until I unfortunately messed it up. Made it worse then fixed it. Now I'm buying a new part. my fault but it shouldn't have been bent in the first place. (2) The top of the machine is leaking. Seal it with epoxy putty or e6000 glue, otherwise careless use may damage your motor or keys.
