I put this together myself, so it is doable. Instructions are not altogether clear so check and double check that you are using the correct screws. I did check out the installation video on YouTube for the base as I wanted to make sure the roller wheels were in correctly. Once that is done the running wheel is easy just a little cumbersome. I sprayed the carpet runner with catnip and am just leaving it in a stationary position until my cat gets used to it being in the room. I have high hopes that he will enjoy the exercise wheel soon. The wheel rolls along pretty smoothly and is stable. My cat is not full grown yet but the wheel itself is an excellent size for an average adult cat.

I bought the 52" wheel. I thought I needed this size for my large Siamese but I'm not so sure now that I have it. I think I should have went down one size. This size is probably better for small dogs. Or multiple cats using it at the same time.I'm uploading a video discussing the problems I had with the wheel. Mostly it's not a bad design. But it's the wrong material for the job. This would be much better if made of some type of plastic. I broke a support part while putting it together and 3d printed a replacement part. I also had one of the wheel panels get partially damaged from the screw going in slightly off centrer from the drilled hole resulting in making it almost impossible to assemble. I was able to find a solution (see video) but not everyone has these kind of tools laying around like I do.I discuss other things in the video that should help people with assembly.The wheel seems to stay on the track easy and it has bumper wheels to keep it centered.The carpet piece is high quality and I'd bet it's going to outlast the wheel structure.It also feels like turning the wheel from the Price is Right. (I accidentally say wheel of fortune in the video). I may make some price is right style decals for the side panels, just to add some whimsy to it.Overall. I bought this one because of my budget and wanting a big one for a big cat. But not gonna lie. Kinda wish I had just bought the more expensive plastic one.As for getting my 2 cats to use it. I'm working on it. But haven't gotten either of them to do much. However, my in neighbors cat who visits, is more interested in it. If I can get him to run on it maybe it will entice my cats. I definitely didn't buy it for the neighbors cat. Lol.Additional photos show scale/size and the 3d replacement part.

Hey Vevor team,Hope you're having a good day! I wanted to drop you a quick line about the cat exercise wheel I recently got from you. I was really looking forward to getting my furry friend some extra exercise!Let me tell you, when that box arrived, I was genuinely surprised by the sheer size and weight of the thing! It's quite the unit, and honestly, finding a suitable spot for it in my apartment has been a real mission. Once it's in place, moving it around for cleaning or just rearranging the room is quite the workout – it definitely requires some muscle!Then came the assembly. Oh boy, that was an adventure! It felt a bit like a treasure hunt trying to figure out which part was which, as none of the pieces had any labels. It took me a good chunk of time, turning what I thought would be a quick setup into a bit of a puzzling marathon. A few more pointers or labels would have been a lifesaver there!And after all that effort, here's the kicker: my little furball, who this was supposedly for, has decided it's just not their cup of tea. Seriously, not even a sniff! It's a bit disappointing when you imagine your cat running happily, and instead, it's just... sitting there. So, it's not quite fulfilling its intended purpose just yet.On a positive note, I do have to say, the overall build feels really sturdy and the materials seem super durable. It definitely looks like it's built to last, which is always a plus!However, there's one little snag: the noise. When I tried to get it going, it emits a pretty noticeable hum. It's loud enough to be a bit distracting, and I can't help but wonder if it'll become even more pronounced with more use, which could be a bit of an annoyance in a quiet home.Just wanted to pass along my honest feedback, hoping it might be helpful for any future tweaks or designs. Thanks for hearing me out!Best regards,C. Valmont

Received the wheel today and started the process of assembly. The first step I do is inventory all the parts. There are extra screws and maybe that is a good thing because something may gets lost. Quality control is less than 1 star because I have a part that was supposed to be pre-assembled but is missing screws. One of the main wheels that supports the big wheel is missing 3 out of 4 screws.Update:I ended up going to a hardware store and purchased replacement screws. The 3rd picture shows the leftover parts.The good:* It is put together and works* Whoever measured the carpet and velcro did an amazing job - the carpet fit perfectly and there was maybe 2" of velcro left* I enjoyed assembling the wheel. I am handy with tools and love putting things together, especially with instructions. While it did come with a screwdriver, I used my own because it felt better in my hand. I don't recommend using any power tools as they have the potential of stripping out a screw or cracking the wood.The bad:* I had to get replacement parts for something that should have pre-assembled* My cats are still scared of it (but that should change with time)Numeral:* The wheel wobbles a bit at low speed. Get it going and the wobble goes away* I never used the gloves when assembling. They are to help protect your hands from the sharp edges. I must be ignoring the sharp edges as I don't see a problem.* It is bigger than I expected. It stands about 4.5'. I wanted the largest and that is what I got. I guess I was expecting something just a bit smaller but like the larger size (and hopefully the cats will get over being scared).* The wood is more of an MDF. I am not a fan of MDF but it does produce more consistent surfaces with little to no work. Just keep it away from the water.I upgraded the star rating from 1 to 3. If the company support had gotten back to me more quickly, I would have put 4 stars.If my cats start using the wheel, I may update this review again.

Our cat is still getting used to this. This is so well built, and very sturdy. This is so worth the price. The design is awesome. The instructions is so easy to read. The instructions didn't mention G on it. This is fun for cats. No noise level. This spins very nicely. This may take our cat a week or longer to get use to. We had this for a few days. This is so very sturdy. Wish the wood would have been a better made and way more thicker. hopefully our cat would learn to like this soon enough.My best advice, my wife accidentally drop this off a short distance from the table, trying to connect where G is at in the cat wheel. Do not accidentally drop this, because the wood part came off very easily. We had to use wood glue and duck tape to secure a small wood piece to fix it today. We finally put the cat wheel together today. I took this pic tonight. I had to use a cushion and my wife old sweater to get our precious cat on here. Our cat keep smelling this and kept looking at it today.

We have two Maine Coons kittens and thought this would be great for them to get their zoomies out. We are still trying to get them to use it as a running wheel nstead of a bed, but I knew it would take some time. The wheel took a few hours to put together but I am very pleased with the product. I would recommend.

My cats love it great size. A little loud but worth it.

My cats love their wheel. It’s pretty sturdy for even my overweight cat. It took some time to get them up there, but now they just periodically wander in and go for a quick jog before laying down to sniff the carpet liner. Easy for them to get in and out.

I was first looking for a smaller wheel and one that was quiet. I choose this one because it advertised it was quiet and the dimensions were smaller. The assembly wasn't to difficult even though the instructions were useless. It did take a few hours though. My kittens watched the whole assembly and after I got the carpet installed and put the wheel down on the floor they were very interested in what it was. I started showing them how to spin it around by walking on the inside and they both picked it up very quickly. They're playing on it now as I'm writing this. I'm happy that they like it. It isn't silent but I can live with it. It's quiet enough I believe. I took a bunch of fun videos of them watching me build it and of them learning how to use it.

Overall, this is a pretty good product. We have four cats, two teenagers and two seniors. The younger of the two jumped on it without any encouragement, and after a few treats and about two weeks time, we got the other one running on it as well. The two seniors want nothing to do with it so far, but they keep watching, so only time will tell.Assembly wasn’t too bad, thankfully my wife was there to help me. It does make some noise while it’s in use, but it’s about what you’d expect from a cat wheel and isn’t overly loud. Overall, we’re happy with it, and it’s been a great way to help our younger cats burn off some energy.

I got this for an indoor cat that is on the hefty side and needs some exercise. She doesn't want anything to do with it but there is a puppy who loves it! It doesn't take up much room at all. I have it next to the wall with patio doors. It's out of the way.

My kitten had one a way smaller wheel, soI got this when he grew out of it. It is very, very, large! He can now stretch out on it. He runs sometimes, but he arms to think it's a two part treat dispenser, and that I'm the second part.I've never seen or heard him use it without me there, too. He does seem to enjoy it, though.The directions recommend having two people to put it together. That would've been so much easier, but I was able to do it.It is made out of very cheap press board, so there is a real risk of the whole thing cracking if it's lifted the wrong way, and it did crack a bit even though I was being very careful.It is somwhat stable after it's out together completely, but not a screw before. It is not good wood or solid wood like they claim.My kitten is only one year old, but it's good for any size cat.

My cats spend all night on it. There are times that the wheel is loud, but if your cats are not like mine and don’t run as fast as they can on it until they fall off, then you won’t be bothered by the noise. Also my chunky cat has lost almost 10 pounds so far because of how much he loves the wheel and how often he uses it. Was a bit inconvenient to put together but works well in the end.

My cats just did not care for it. Couldn't train them to use it, so I had to return it. That being said, it was all made and sturdy, but putting it together took hours and you definitely need another person to help you. It was a good size, pretty big, so if you have big cats this is a good size. It was stable and didn't feel like it tip at all. It did have a weird drag at some point on the wheel. A little noisy but not too bad. The color was a nice dark wood. But my cats just didn't enjoy it.

Day 1 my kitten is already using it 🥹 my older cat (around 5/6) really has no interest in it, as i suspected because she's usually pretty timid when it comes to trying new things, but she did get on it for a few seconds so there's hope! i mostly got it for him to burn energy because he's mentally insane but if i can get both of them to use it it's a bonus. i got the biggest one and had to recruit my boyfriend to help put it together, and it still took us almost 2 hrs because of all the little parts and pieces and the instructions weren't the most descriptive 😅 overall though the setup wasn't bad, i labelled everything out of the box which definitely helped speed up the process, and we did use a power drill but ended up with 2 stripped nails due to user error. if you will use a power drill go SLOW, which may already be common sense to most, but it wasn’t to me 🤣 they do give you extras of all the screws which was nice. the wheel itself is very large, not necessarily a bad thing i just didn't realize just how big it would be, all the parts took up almost the entire living room as we were building. the wheel is also pretty quiet, i found other reviews comparing it to thunder to be pretty spot-on. it sounds like a quiet rumble, nothing i would lose sleep over if they happened to want to get their steps in while I'm in REM. overall i would definitely recommend if you have at least one cat that constantly gets the zoomies and you're looking for a way to get them to burn energy without tearing your place apart!!

The wheel works great! It's quiet and spins well with only small bumps from the seams between the parts being slightly misaligned, but that can be easily adjusted. I should've gotten the smaller size, but that's on me.As for assembling the cat wheel, it was a challenge. Some of the pieces aren't labeled, which becomes a problem when the pieces look the same. For example, the small squares lining the outside of the wheel, some of them have slightly different holes, and that is the only difference. I'm lucky I noticed that early on, but it would've really helped if the pieces had labels. Be prepared to use your own screwdriver, as the one provided is small and cheap, which hurts after over an hour of screwing. But you didn't pay for a screwdriver, just a heads up.But overall, it is a great cat wheel. No I just need my cat to use it!

We got this to give our newly rescued, energetic, young cat another outlet for his boundless energy. Hoping too that it may help him to stop antagonizing our senior cat so much. (pouncing on him trying to get him to play) It's relatively easy to put together. Just take time to really look at the pictures on the instuctions and identify all the different parts and what-goes-where. I'd also suggest you unpack and separate all the parts into piles/stacks of like-parts. Also...if you have a power drill/driver it's going to be WAY easier and quicker. Driving that many screws with just a manual one, (like the one provided) is going take forever and be really hard on your hand. Oh...the instructions warn that the edges can be sharp. I was like "pffft...they're not sharp. I don't need the gloves" Well, yeah...they can be sharp if it slides through your hand the right way, and I cut my finger, so be aware. I still found wearing the gloves to be impractical, and finished the project without them, or any further injury but, just be careful. I did sand the edges once it was all assembled. I started showing our boy how to use it last night. (Using the feather teaser toy) It spins very smoothly and quietly and he didn't seem to be worried by the movement at all. He's only ran on it for a few seconds at a time so far, but I think it'll be a hit once he gets the hang of it. I definitely recommend.

If you're looking for a high-end hamster wheel that your cat will definitely not use, look no further! This sleek, modern cat treadmill promises to harness the energy of feline zoomies for fitness... but instead, it harnessed my patience, sanity, and two hours of my life I’ll never get back.The assembly instructions appeared to have been translated by a cat walking across a keyboard. Step 4 showed a mysterious hexagonal piece that I never found, while Step 7 casually asked me to "firmly attach part B to notched section 9 using screws M through Q." I now have a small pile of extra screws and plastic bits that were either decorative or a cruel test of my problem-solving skills.As for my cat? The second the treadmill started moving, he launched off like it was a NASA training simulation. I tried treats. I tried toys. I tried lying on it myself to demonstrate its safety (zero stars for that idea, by the way). My cat now uses the treadmill as a coat rack and views it with the same suspicion he reserves for cucumbers and the vacuum.On the plus side, he loved the box it came in and got hours of joy watching me crouched on the floor, swearing at an Allen wrench. So technically, it did provide entertainment — just not in the way I had hoped.Would I recommend this? Only if your goal is to become a more humble person and bond with your cat over mutual disappointment.
