Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Don't give up on this wheel! For just over a month my Bengal boy, Levi, wouldn't touch his wheel. When I would spin it slightly he would run away from even the sound of it. Treats, laser pointers, toys...nothing seemed to get him on the wheel. He just liked to sit quietly and look at it. I was greatly disheartened and had pretty much given up hope that he would use it when I suddenly received a text from my spouse one weekday morning that Levi was on the wheel galloping along! I was shocked given his prior apprehension, but now it is his favorite activity ever. He goes for a jog on the wheel every few hours and ADORES it. He is a MUCH happier and well-adjusted cat :) As to the wobble issue that some people have described, in addition to watching the troubleshooting videos, be sure to check whether your floors are completely level -- chances are good that they are not! If any one of the legs has a little give under it -- even a few millimeters difference -- you may need to add a little shim under that leg. The quick solution for me was simply to get a little stack of post-it notes and add a few under the corners where needed. I live in an old home with wood floors. While they appear level, there are natural subtle irregularities in the floor that translate into a shimmy on the properly-assembled wheel. One design modification that would help would be screw-in footings that could be easily adjusted as necessary for each home's situation. The same solution is used to minimize vibration on other products with a horizontal spinning axis, for example, a front-loading washing machine. Also, if you are placing the wheel on fluffy carpeting, that will add "give" under the footings that increases the wobble. If you place a little square of something flat and solid under each footing to spread the downward force more evenly over the carpet, this may help with both leveling and reducing the "give" caused by the carpet pile. Overall, this is a great product and I am thrilled with the purchase.
