BUCATSTATE Silent Hamster Wheel, 5.5in Exercise Wheel for Gerbils, Dwarf & Syrian Hamsters, Rats, Mice

I bought a wheel with the stand from the same brand a year ago and the wheel broke. When I saw this I realized it could be put on the stand and I could save money just getting the wheel. This wheel is alot better then the previous one and it doesn't have as many parts that can come apart so its easier to clean and I dont think ill have the same problem again. Very quiet. I dont hear anything. I would definitely recommend.

Easy to install and very quiet. Good for my cute hamster.

Works as expected and it’s silent!

Purchased because the one that came with our cage broke. This is easy to assemble and I feel like it will last a while because the rod that attaches to the cage is metal. Only 4 stars because although the descriptors it’s silent when in use, it is not. The sound is lower than our previous one, but you can still hear it when the hamster is running. It’s a big size also so measure the location you want it. Ours barely fit.

Way too small for our rats. I am giving it 5 stars because it was my fault for not buying a larger one for the rats. According to the description, this one is made for small hamsters (dwarf) or mice.

I really liked this wheel at first because it moves smoothly and fairly quietly. I have 2 hamster so I bought two of these wheels. One hamster doesn’t run very often, but the other one runs a few hours a day. I just noticed that after 6 months of use, the wheel that my one hamster runs on for a few hours daily now needs to be replaced. It no longer moves smoothly or quietly, and it gets caught and stops, so my hamster can’t run well on it anymore. I would’ve expected these wheels to be durable enough to last the lifespan of my hamsters so I’m disappointed.

We have a pet mouse but were concerned about the 5" wheels typically marketed to them because we didn't want her back or tail injured. Discovered this 7" wheel and bought it a few months ago. Very impressed by the quality of the mounting and spinning hardware (sturdy metal threaded stud and bearing system).Removing the wheel for cleaning is fairly simple, as the center nut unscrews to release it from the mounting stud, and then the two halves of the bearing assembly unscrew from each other to remove them from the center of the wheel so it can be washed without getting the bearing system wet. The only thing that's difficult about cleaning is the little traction ribs along the inner/running surface, so you have to wipe it in short, in-out motions, rather than being able to wipe around in a circle.The wheel itself spins silently and easily. You can hear the pitter-patter of her tiny feet as she runs on it. The only other sound is when she runs so fast that she vibrates the whole cage (I think she hits a resonance frequency at certain speeds).The price is reasonable for a wheel of this size, and is great for a wheel of this quality (especially the metal mounting stud and wonderfully-made bearing system). We were so impressed with this wheel, that we specifically shopped this mfr. for her new cage (also very happy with that).Unfortunately, mice do love to chew... it's to be expected and is an integral part of who/how they are. Our little girl has nibbled her wheel enough at this point that she's made the running surface rough. Time for a replacement. Wish I could just buy a replacement plastic wheel, as the mounting stud and bearing system are still in perfect condition. Guess I'm just glad the overall product is reasonably priced so we can afford replacements as needed after she chews them too much.

This thing has way too many pieces that you have to take apart and put back together every time you clean it. You can never put it back together the same way you had it, it literally won’t attach to the cage. Everything squeaks and is just over all a pain.
