The motor for this wheel on this is absolutely horrible. I understand it is a toy...but come on!! It was impossible to make anything other than what looked like a piece of clay with a hole in the middle only the width of my daughter's finger. The tiniest bit of pressure caused the wheel to stop turning and in order to create anything you would have to atleast apply a little bit of pressure. How dare they show an example of a bowl and vase on the front of this?!! I really think the makers of this toy were counting on parents buying this one and losing the receipt (if I had the receipt--I would be taking it back!!) or counting on that once parents try it with their kids and get it all messy with clay they would most likely not try to return it. Personally, I say don't waste your money. We will most likely throw the wheel away and just use the clay and paint!!

The wheel used in this toy does not spin fast enough to mold the clay provided. The bowls show on the box were obviously not made with this wheel, my 7 year old daughter ended up playing with the clay and we pitched the wheel.

Good idea, but could have used better execution. This is VERY MESSY, and my daughter got bored quickly with it, as you have to stop often to reposition, etc. Also, once she did get one pot done, dried, and painted, the bottom of it CRUMBLED like dust.

We really love this toy - yes it's a mess, but it's clay and it's supposed to be messy. The wheel that we have spins fast enough with enough power (one of the earlier reviews said it didn't) to make pots. You just have to make sure that your hands are really wet when you are turning the clay. It does take practice and patience, but my 9 year old loves it! I think it's pretty cool too, and it definitely works. Highly recommended :-)

The age group for this toy is 4+ years. My six year old couldn't do it, and neither could I, except with some effort. I think you need a pottery class before you can play with this toy. It's fun once you get the hang of it, but not for a four year old. It could be very frustrating at times. I would put the age range for the toy at 10+.

I bought this pottery wheel for myself, just to work pottery in an inexpensive way; however the pottery wheel just doesn't work very well. I tried it once it was forming a vase but when I tried to take it off as instructed the vase collapsed. Also the wheel just doesn't move around fast nor sturdy enough. I wouldn't recommend this product not even for children. It just doesn't work well.

As the other reviewers pointed out, this toy does not work. The wheel stops turning at the slightest pressure. My child is now so frustrated that she is sobbing uncontrollably.

It's really fun to play with as an adult as well. I'm seeing how I do with this and get a real pottery wheel. Adult's and children can enjoy this product together. Take your time, be gentle, and be creative.

My wife and I purchased this item for my daughter for Christmas. After setting it up, tried it (we all did)---not worth the money. Characteristics: noisy, cheaply made, one speed (fast), and clay cannot be dried in the oven. Don't be deceived by the picture on the box. Recommendation, don't buy.

This product is a piece of junk. The only education my 9 year old daughter got was an education in frustration. It makes a horrible mess and the end product was nothing but a wet lump of clay. I strongly encourage anyone who is thinking of buying this to think again. Do not waste your money and time.
