Review on YaeKoo Electric Pottery Wheel - A 25CM, 350W DIY Clay Ceramic Forming Machine With Foot Pedal And Detachable ABS Basin (Blue) by Eddie Pollard

I loved this wheel… honestly I wanted it to work out so badly, I really did. I was concerned with the price because you get what you pay for. But I took a chance and figured it’s Best Buy, so I could just return it if it didn’t work for me. When it came I was so pleasantly surprised and thought that it would be a great little wheel. It’s so cute, everything about it seemed sturdy and nice besides the foot pedal which is pretty cheap plastic. There also were a few dents in the top of it but I decided to overlook that. Over the course of a week, I threw about 10 little mugs on it, nothing over 2lbs. It surpassed every expectation I had and I was so excited. Then, I was trimming a pot and out of the blue, the foot pedal wouldn’t spin the wheel anymore. So I tested it a little faster, nothing. Then faster still, nothing. Only when at full speed, the wheel would spin. Of course, I was trimming and my pot flew off with the wheel at full speed to my dismay and I stopped the wheel. Then I tested it again, and ever since then the wheel won’t spin at all. Broke my heart because I love the look and size and sturdiness of this little thing. It seemed like such a good idea and I am super disappointed. Shipping it back for a replacement because like a sucker I still have a glimmer of hope. But I’m predicting it will probably be the same scenario and I’ll be back to the drawing board. Maybe a shimpo aspire? Speedball artista? Buyer beware…
