AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
The Trixie wheel is praised for its size, making it suitable for Syrian hamsters. However, many users report issues with quality, including noise, wobbling, and durability problems. Some found it difficult to fix or clean, and the wheel's cork lining was easily chewed off. Despite these drawbacks, a few users managed to resolve assembly issues and enjoy silent operation. Overall, while it has potential, the wheel's quality seems inconsistent.

Balance bike is good, but the cork can be easily chewed off.
I've bought several running wheels here before, but for some reason, one of my runners keeps nibbling away at the cork. Unfortunately, the cork is, for whatever reason, quite easy to nibble off. I'd love to replace it myself, but there's no "replacement cork" available. At Bauhaus, you can get a large sheet, but it's very expensive. Plus, while the cork sticks well to the wheel, it's too well stuck to remove and replace. I really wish there was "replacement cork" available here.

Good quality, almost silent operation
I find the quality of the running wheel to be very good. I paid particular attention to ensuring that the hamster has a flat surface to run on to prevent injuries. Running in the wheel is almost silent, which is especially beneficial for my sleep quality.

Very good balance bike
This balance bike serves its purpose, and the quality is great too.

Wobbles a bit
Quiet and stable, but unfortunately, it wobbles. Our hamster doesn’t mind and took to it straight away.

The wheels are good.
I’ve had a total of 8 exercise wheels from this brand so far. Suitable for degus, gerbils, and hamsters alike. They all run quietly; some wobble a little, but none of the animals seem bothered by it. The running surface is gentle on their feet.

Poor quality
I ordered two exercise wheels straight away and am very dissatisfied with both. One wobbles terribly when my dwarf hamster runs in it, and the other is far too stiff, so my hamster can't use it.

Great wheel
Arrived in perfect condition. So far so good. The degu absolutely loves it. It’s so much more smooth than his old plastic one and looks so much nicer. 5/5 from me so far. Ordered the large size.

For the price, totally fine.
Super quiet and affordable exercise wheel, even available in 33 cm, which is a great size for medium-sized hamsters.
It wobbles slightly, but this doesn’t bother hamsters or mice in the slightest.
The animals live in the bedroom, and you don’t hear any noise.
Of course, there are better exercise wheels with ball bearings, but those are in a higher price range. If the wheel does break, it can be replaced for little money.

Great value for money
I ordered the 28-inch for the Zwerf, and it spins really well. The only reason I’m deducting a point is because of glue residue on the back and inside of the wheel’s turntable.

Super balance bike, easy on the back, ultra-quiet and smooth to ride.
I got the 28cm wheel for my dwarf hamster. It's perfect. The cork running surface is comfortable, it's super quiet, and my little one’s back is protected because she can run completely straight. For larger animals, I would definitely recommend getting the biggest wheel.

Noisy
Not sure if we have a faulty one but it’s far from quiet and makes a knocking noise when my hammie is running on it, he does seem to love it very much

Trixie 28cm
I love this wheel for my Syrian hamster. Its the only silent wheel I’ve found, and she loves it too.
I recommend it is painted with a couple of coats of plastikote before using ,making it much easier to clean if the small animal wees in it

Good quality, but wobbles a lot unfortunately.
The wheel is, in my opinion, really good. Although it would be nicer if it were height-adjustable. The workmanship on mine is otherwise flawless.
However, the thing wobbles a lot.
If my gerbils hadn’t needed the wheel so urgently, I would have sent it back.
Even if it’s inexpensive, it should still run smoothly.

Worth its weight in gold!
I’m thrilled!
It’s very quiet and lined with cork on the inside. I bought it five months ago, and my degus have only just started nibbling a bit around the edges.
On top of that, it’s really well-made and incredibly affordable when I compare the prices with other suppliers.
I’ll definitely buy it again!

Silent. Big. Fun
Would highly recommend this nice sturdy big wheel for any hamster. I have a Syrian and she loves it. I would suggest buying a pot of Plastikote for coating the inside of the wheel so any wee doesn’t soak into it.
