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.

Hi, Is it possible to collect the wheel at your shop instead of paying the shipping fee? Thanks Daniel
Daniel from Ireland
Yes, of course. We'd be delighted to see you. We have a service called Click and Collect whereby you can place your order online, change the delivery country to Northern Ireland, and you will have the option at checkout to collect from Scarva.
