We purchased this for our daughter for Christmas, the belt was off when we started it, quick fix for the hubby, daughter has made many sculptures so far, she's 10 and we are still getting the hang of it, but so far we love it!
The machine works great. You can adjust the speed. I haven't tried to change a wheel, but you can't just pull it out, maybe you need to unscrew something. But so far the size is right for us. It is good that you can take off the handle and wash it. Everything is according to the description. My child loves it.
Our son got this for his 8th birthday. It's definitely got enough power to make nice little pieces, little being the key word. He hasn't had any issues with it slowing down while sculpting, something we read others tend to do. A little on the small size but a great starter to see if you like it before investing in something bigger.
Exactly what I had been looking for the machine is extremely simple and easy to use. Good quality and all the tools that came with it are good quality as well. This is my new favorite hobby.
My daughter really wanted to try pottery and had asked for this for her birthday. She absolutely loves it and has spent many hours using it. The wheel is smaller than we would hope but it works for her to learn pottery.
This was a gift for my niece. It was something she requested on her wish list. She was excited to get it and since then has been making mini pottery with it!
