This wheel is not quite “silent” because it rattles the bars a bit when my rats run on it. But it is rather quiet for a wheel. Never had any problems with it aside from the rattling. My rats love it.My main gripe is the price: to me something like this should’ve cost $50-$60 dollars tops. I get that it’s big and made of metal and everything, but almost $100 dollars for something that isn’t perfectly silent feels like robbery. Don’t get me wrong— the quality of this wheel is immaculate! All I’m saying is that the price you’re asking for it seems a little bit steep.

I had previously purchased a large plastic wheel for my chinchilla, Beau. It had one plastic bolt to secure it to the cage, and has already broken one. I finally decided to buy him this one, and it has been a game changer. It is very large, and with the large anchor, Beau no longer has any problems running full throttle. The old one wobbled and hit the bottom of the cage, but this one is anchored very well and allows him to run without any problems or wobbling of the wheel. It is much quieter than the old one, but he still manages to make a decent amount of noise in it because he runs at top speed. Installation was fairly easy, it's easy to clean, and to date has been the best exercise wheel I have found. Highly recommend.

This is the perfect wheel for Degu's. They cannot chew it and it is quiet. The animals are happy and are getting the exercise they deserve. Easy to clean and install

This is definitely a sturdy wheel, but the bolt is not nearly long enough. We tried to improvise by cutting one of the bars in the cage, just to get the bolt on. Forget getting the washer in there…plus I’m pretty sure the nut will just back out of there with use, because tightening it too much prevents the wheel from spinning altogether. Our chinchilla can sit on top of it (that’s how stiff it is) and prefers to chew the wood brace. Now we have a stiff wheel that doesn’t spin well, and a ruined cage, but an excellent chew toy for maybe a week. Don’t waste the $100 on this company. Super disappointed.

Worth every Penny! I had other wheels before, but this surely, has to be the Rolls Royce of all Running Wheels. I never write reviews, but had to for this one! Runs super smoothly, but what sets it apart from most other wheels, it the flat and not sloping running surface! My boys even run side by side and are in it and play with it all of the Time! Assembly was possible on my own.

After making mistakes with other chinchilla wheels that were 12" plastic wheels that broke and were chewing risks which we bought at the local pet store, I searched for something more appropriate. I found this wheel on Amazon which was less expensive than some other similar wheels. My main concerns with this wheel before purchasing were the way the wheel attaches to the cage and the size of the wheel being 13.8". I viewed a few videos on good and bad chinchilla wheels, and the smallest wheel they recommend is 14". So, this wheel is slightly smaller than the minimum recommended size, but I decided that it is close enough.The instructions for this wheel show installing the wood brace inside the cage. However, I read reviews here where others installed the wood brace outside the cage. As you can see from my photos, this is also what I did. I wanted to do this because I knew the chinchillas would chew that wood brace and I wanted to prevent them from doing that. In order to do this, I had to cut out one of the small vertical bars where the center screw needs to go through. After attaching the wood brace, which was relatively easy with the help of my daughter, we installed the center screw to the wood brace with the large nut. The screw was just long enough for this to work. It would be much better if the center screw was longer.Even though the wheel itself is very quiet, when the chinchillas are using the wheel, it shakes the entire cage which is why it isn't as quiet as it could be. I do have a large metal plate on top of the cage, so perhaps if I remove it the noise will be reduced. I don't really mind the noise since I use it to know when they are using the wheel when I'm not in the same room.Another issue I was concerned about with this wheel is that, unlike other wheels that I looked at, this wheel is smooth inside instead of have ridges or bumps. I was concerned that it would be too slippery for them to get any traction. However, this doesn't seem to be a problem for them and they do seem to enjoy using it.All in all, I'm relatively happy with this wheel. I hope it lasts much longer than the junk wheels I bought in the past. If it fails, I'll update my review.

High quality construction, quiet, and well designed. If you're wondering whether you should spend the extra cash to buy this, I highly recommend it. It's worth every penny. Installation was a breeze and it mounts quite strongly to the cage. It's the perfect size too.And it's quite possibly the best thing I've ever bought my chinchilla. He loves it! After a few hours of investigating, he finally figured out how it worked and he hasn't stopped running on it daily ever since. He's gonna be one jacked Chinchilla in a few months!

The wheel performs well. Very quiet and smooth. I installed the wood support piece on the outside of the cage so he does not chew on it. The shaft could be a little longer, but I was able to get the nut tightened.The instructions and pictures show the wood support piece on the inside of the cage which would allow the shaft to be long enough to tighten the nut but he would chew on the wood. Two people are needed to install the wheel with one person holding the bolt while the other tightens the wing nuts. Well-constructed wheel with quiet bearings.

We mounted this to a wood base and it does a great job keeping our Goo’s active and it is as quiet as promised. Wish we could have spent less but we have no regrets 😊
