A fantastic wheel, smooth & silent
Bought this wheel as an upgrade, having done throwing for about a year. Although the wheel was expensive, it is in a different league to my previous one. It was delivered on a pallet, the packaging was fantastic. After unboxing, there was little needed to get the wheel built (it is incredibly heavy, reflective of the high quality manufacturing)

Using the wheel is a joy, it's almost silent and so smooth. I've only tried a maximum of 3kg so far, but the power made this seem effortless. I'm looking forward to loading up done now clay.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this wheel, though it is expensive. I anticipate getting many years of happy throwing, from this wheel.

Very happy so far
I’m throwing regularly on my new wheel. It was a big investment for me as it is not cheap. I’m very pleased with it as it is powerful and quiet and easy to clean. I’m glad I chose this model. The customer service from Scarva before the purchase was excellent, which is why I bought my wheel from them instead of somewhere nearer to me. The delivery was very well organised and my order arrived safely in good safe packaging on a pallet. Thank you Scarva. I hope to buy from you again soon.

fantastic!
This is a fantastic product. As a beginner it is really straightforward to put together and use and clean, and it is so stable that it has improved my throwing massively.
Something else that makes it stand out is the packaging- unlike most things, it was protected by decent quality cardboard, no moulded plastic or polystyrene at all, so all completely recyclable. Companies should mention this in the detail- it is really important to most consumers!

Fantastic
I hesitated before buying this wheel but now I've used it for a couple of weeks, I'm absolutely delighted. It's dead silent, there are no vibrations at all, the speed control is perfect, and it's compact, taking a very limited space. Even if it cannot be easily folded to be put away, in a corner or a cupboard, as it's about 40kg, I still find this wheel a perfect option. As for Scarva, they are excellent: the price was highly competitive, in fact unbeatable, and the delivery was very well handled even if the wheel couldn't be tracked. We would definitely use Scarva again for such a purchase in the future.

Great wheel, even better customer service!
Great wheel with no issues so far. Extremely quiet & enjoying using the bigger wheel head. Mainly delighted with Scarva’s customer service. Quick to respond to emails when I had questions. Collection was so straightforward and staff very helpful.
