Review on 🎨 VIVOHOME 25CM Pottery Wheel Forming Machine - 350W Electric DIY Clay Tool with Foot Pedal and Detachable Basin for Ceramic Work Art Craft - White by Jessica Lewis

Although the product functions satisfactorily, it is definitely not a professional quality steering wheel. I wanted to buy a $600 balance bike but one reputable company was having trouble fulfilling orders and I wanted it immediately so I checked Revain and found this. I was afraid there wouldn't be enough torque to center it, but that didn't turn out to be a problem. I've had a few pro wheels over the years but I haven't lost pots in five years and wanted to get back to it. Some functions are a bit tedious. Pedal cord is too short. This limits the space you can place the wheel on stands or table tops. Otherwise you will have to use it on the floor and sit on a low stool. I have to get up to throw, so I'm going to build a kickstand for that. You may need to put the pedal on a step. The wheel is nicely painted and easy to clean, but the removable pan is very difficult to take apart and put back together, so I had to sand down the handles to make it easier to connect the two halves. The foot pedal is not as responsive as the more expensive models, but adequate. You have to secure the wheel somehow or else the wheel will move when you center it because it's not very heavy. When I build the stand I will have a fence around the top to secure the legs. The picture shows a wheel that is attached to the cabinet to keep it in place. The wheel is not suitable for throwing large pots of 10 to 20 lb clay. But for five pounds or so it should be fine. Many good functional details will come out of it. There is also no bat system. (Basins that fit over the wheelhead for easier removal of pots for drying.) Everything you need to cut with wire. Be sure to order some "jacks" so you can lift wet pots without distorting them. I am 82 years old. So I've thrown huge pots in the past but I think this inexpensive wheel would be great for what I need. I want to do.
