I'm happy with mine. I have back problems and can't handle the little
electric things that you scrunch over. I'm not a production potter, but
a hobbyist that sells some. I don't make huge pots, but I have made
bowls and platters large enough that I need a bag that extends beyond
the wheelhead to trim. I used their scheme and made my own plaster bats.

I don't have a motor and just kick. I don't bother with the splash pan
since I don't tend to splatter clay all over me as I used to and splash
pans don't help contain trimmings. It's so nice to have it quiet.

Their customer service is excellent. They've talked me thru adjustments
and given me links to online diagrams and names of people nearby that
can help.

I've moved a couple times. Had to have my son help take the wheel apart
and put it back together because it's too heavy for me to handle. But
it made the moves.
