Review on ๐ŸŒป Silent Spinner Sunflower: Wood Hamster Exercise Wheel with Stand, Whisper-Quiet Performance by Lori Stein

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost great for small animals

My comments relate to cage setup, not stand. There are several vendors of this wheel ranging in size from 7" to 9". I tested all 3 sizes. This rating is for a 9 inch wheel. It is attractive and delivered intact from Petzilla. (Revain shipping and handling helped.) Chinese suppliers ship these wheels carelessly and often arrive broken. Size (9 inches), after installation, it may shake slightly. It has to do with both the cage and the wheel. When the frame bars sag, the wheel wobbles slightly but tolerably. If the product was constructed like Exotic Nutrition's 9" Silent Spinner, which has a reinforcing backplate to stiffen the cage, there would be no wobble at all. The 7.5" version built into the same cage does not wobble and runs very liquid. runs and is silent. The extra 1.5 inches is enough for the cage bars to flex slightly. I still recommend this product but do not buy from a supplier that ships from China. This leads to an annoying, unfortunate error.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Minor issues
