I can't, in good conscience, give this anything less than 5 stars, as it's an amazing wheel. It's silent, as advertised, I don't know about how "durable" it is as the main part of it is made of paper-thin plastic, but it works and anecdotal evidence from other users lead me to believe it will hold up. I just think it's way too expensive, even given its good qualities.

This wheel was unfortunately not safe for our hedgehogs. The point where the plastic wheel comes together cut our hedgehogs feet pretty bad. There was blood all over the cage the next morning. It is also quite hard to clean after a night of hedgehog running. It is quiet though. Unfortunately, we went back to their older noisy wheel.

I don't often review items but this one here I decided deserved a review. I bought it a few weeks ago but after my fur babies figured it out they have not stopped playing in it and running....as I have 2 male chinchilla caged together they are in their cage most of the day since I work 10 hours I let them out to roam free when I am home but I need to be able to keep an eye on them since they chew anything everything and can get into trouble often if not watched. But I must say this is the best money I have spent they both get so much joy and use out of it it makes me so happy to know they can get the extra work out I can't give them everyday. Great product holds up well to their chewing and is still rather soundless as can be its not perfect with noise but that's to be expected. They love it!! Great product!!! I in fact think I will need to buy a second one since they kinda fight over who is gonna run.

We have had this wheel for 2.5 years and it has been great. Our hedgehog loves it and uses it every night. It has been safe, durable and QUIET! Only con is that it is harder to clean than others but worth it since it is so quiet. We do have to clean it every day because she does make a mess in it. I just reordered one because it has started having trouble spinning, but I think it has lasted a long time since it is washed daily. Definitely recommend!

My hedgehog loves his wheel and has loved it ever since we got him. He runs on this wheel quite a bit at night. The noise level is low but you definitely can hear him. For what you are paying, this is a great wheel. It’s very easy to clean as well as the parts disassemble pretty easily. It fits our 6 month old hedgehog

Got this for my Syrian hamster, since this is one of the only brands that sells wheels big enough for Syrians. It definitely has the stamp of approval from my girl, she's been running way more since I got this for her, I hardly ever see her out of it. It seems to be faster and move easier than her old wheel, too, which took her few days to get used to but now she really flies in it.I can see what people mean about the quality--the plastic is very thin, and while I think it will hold up fine for a hamster, bigger or heavier pets might damage it. In terms of noise, it's not completely silent. It would probably annoy me if I had it in my bedroom. But it's quiet enough for my needs, although the closed front design does mean that food and poop will occasionally get stuck inside and make a racket--however, the closed front has also kept my hamster from falling off the wheel, something that would happen now and then when she had a completely open wheel, so I think this design is actually really great for safety. At least for hamsters, since they tend to be a little clumsy.Overall, I think this is a great wheel (at least for hamsters) that is designed with safety in mind, but it could do with being a little quieter and a little sturdier to accommodate a greater variety of animals.

Great hamster wheel, silent and sturdy. Only able to hear the little pitter-patter of tiny hamster feet.Little lackluster in the quality control though. The base and drum are warped, at least on mine. I ended up having to clamp the base to a board otherwise it would just turn in circles as the warped portions were the ends of the metal base.

Es muy sencilla para el precio al que se vende. Unos de los problemas que tuve fue qué, las piezas pequeñas venían sueltas en toda la caja, ni siquiera en una caja o en una bolsa. Pudieron haberse salido por un orificio de la caja sin problemas, el vendedor no tiene cuidado de eso.

I have a rather large mischief of rats (adopted a female who turned out to be a Trojan Horse) so my equipment gets a LOT of use. I have both a Wodent Wheel as well as this Silent Runner. I have always had female rats so they could get by with the Wodent Wheel which is an inch smaller and has a hub for the axle. Once my “baby boys” got big, I quickly realized they would not fare well with that size and we bought an additional Silent Runner 12” wide. It truly is nearly silent as long as you keep it tight. In fact, all I hear is the padding of tiny feet running which is strangely soothing, like listening to rain. It is easily disassembled for washing, just pull apart, and can be directly attached to the bars of the cage. I use vegetable oil on a paper towel to lubricate (non-toxic). I have a couple of Olympic runners and they would be lost without their wheel. While both brands of wheel are great, Silent Runner wins for having that open space that otherwise would be taken up with an axle and also the wide width design.

Truly silent. The sound of my hamsters paws are louder than the actual wheel. Comes apart very easily for cleaning. Large enough that your hamster won’t develop an unhealthy spine like in tiny wheels. Nut/washer is adjustable for varying the effort it takes to spin the wheel. Has bracket for cage mounting, but I’d recommend using the stand cause the cage bracket holds the wheel a little close to the bars and it can rattle against them. Also, the construction is A+++. Built like a tank. My hamster has trouble even chewing it. 6 months of ownership and daily use and it still looks brand new.
