My gerbils are obsessed with this wheel. They use it all day and all night when they are awake. And it really is silent! The sandy track trims their nails down so well and I think that the closed off back of the wheel makes them feel safe. Totally worth the money. -Joella H.

A wonderful wheel to start, and shipped very fast! As time went on I had to tighten the wheel by hand. I purchased the wheel in late March 2021., I now have to hand tighten the wheel twice nightly for my Syrian. Would like to see an improvement in the product so the center nut stays snug. -Pixi
[Response from Seller: Thank you for your review Pixi. The Silent Runner spins on dual ball bearings located in the back plate of the wheel. These bearings are subject to wear and should be replaced every 4-6 months so that the wheel can work at it's best capability. Replacement bearings can be purchased on exoticnutrition.com for just $3.99 per pack. Please reach out to our friendly customer service team using the link at the bottom of the website if you need any other assistance.]

The Silent Runner wheel is truly silent. It was very easy to attach and is a perfect size for a hamster (9”). Our hamster, little Ricky Baker, loves to hang out in it because of the partial covering over the front. It doubles as a hideout. The only sound we can hear is his little feet padding along, which is not enough to keep anyone awake. We have not yet tried the alternate strips that came in this package, So I cannot comment on those. I am not actually sure how to open it in order to change out the strips. -Mary V.

This wheel is perfect for my granddaughters Teddybear Hamster. It IS silent, you only hear the itty bitty toes tippy tapping. "Penny" took to wheel right away. It was very easy to attach to the cage side with the Cage Attachment mount.

By far the best SILENT wheel out there. My mouse runs all night on it and I never have woken up! Although it seems pricey it is worth it! Never had any issues with it and have had it for a good 3 months. The only suggestion is to maybe make cleaning easier. You can cram your hand to kind of clean the wheel it but if you really want it clean, you have to take the whole thing apart. I use the 9-inch wheel for my male mouse and it's a perfect size! I Totally recommend this wheel!

bought this wheel for my asf rats, they really love it and use it all the time, have bought other wheels but they did not last long, this one is very well made and is silent compared to others.

There are plenty of wheels out there and several of them might seem healthier for the animal because they are made of wood or cork. But don´t let yourself get distracted by those wheels, which will cost you a fortune over time.
You see, my dwarf hamster likes to pee (as do many animals) while running. Having a hard plastic wheel means I can clean it within 2 minutes and keep on using the wheel for, well, 5 years now (second purchase, because I got a second hamster). The first wheel is still great, like on day one, and I honestly think this wheel will survive longer than I.
It has a ball-bearing which is extremely important. It makes the wheel sooooo quiet. Those cheap plastic wheels have an awful noise and don´t usually run smoothly. I am the kind of guy who will do research before buying a product. Not the "I checked 10 minutes" kind of research. I will get into a topic and stay with it for a weeks non-stop. It was the same with wheels and when I finally did get this one I could not be happier. If you are in search of a good, stable, durable, easy to clean wheel, do yourself a favor and buy this one. It´s great for dwarf hamsters or mice (anything quite small). If you have a "normal" hamster, get him the larger size. It´s better for their backs if they don´t have to bend their back while running (body should be straight).
So that´s it. By the way, the folks at exotic nutrition are really nice and helped me when I misspelled my address. Shipment was quick and Janene from customer support is a charm (thanks again !!). -Daniel R.

Love this wheel and recommend it all the time, seriously. However, hamster owners - this wheel is a perfect wheel for a DWARF hamster. If you have a Syrian hamster, get the 12" wheel. I see people make this mistake all the time, and I really wish Exotic Nutrition would update the image they use with it. -Caitlin W.
[Response from Seller: Thanks for the suggestion Caitlin. We do have many customers that use this wheel for their Syrian hamsters but we will certainly work to make the size options more discernible!]

My hamster loves his new wheel! He’s a Chinese dwarf hamster, and his back doesn’t arch at all. It’s so quiet that I can hear the pitter patter of his little feet! I like that the sides are partially enclosed so he can’t fly out. I also like that it came with lots of instructions. -Heidi T.

Honestly never thought that in my 30’s I’d be so thrilled w a wheel for a rodent but honestly, it’s amazing. It arrived within a week of ordering it (US to CAD), was SO easy to assemble, and my mouse Skully LOVES IT!
I was worried that the yellow would be ugly but it’s more of a nice mustard/orangey-yellow which works well w a lot of my cage themes. It is 100% silent and it’s adorable that the only thing I can hear is the pitter patter of my pets feet running the track. Also very easy to clean. Worth the cost, and I’ll likely order a second one to have in hand just in case. -Dominique M.

This wheel has saved my sleep! After moving my gerbils into my bedroom, I quickly learned just how loud their old Kaytee wheel was in the middle of the night. This led me to take out their wheel every night before I went to bed, which I hated to do since that is when my gerbils are the most active. For my birthday I asked for this wheel, and it is the best wheel I have ever had! It is truly silent, other than the quiet patter of my gerbils' feet, and I can attach it anywhere in their cage with the cage attachment. As gerbils' are also known to be aggressive chewers, I am also glad to know that I can buy replacement parts, but I don't think I will have to for quite a while because the wheel is made from very strong plastic. I am very pleased with this product! -Hailey R.

My brand new wheel unscrews itself at night while by hamster runs on it and is tilted forward and loose every morning. This causes it to not be silent and not work properly which could potentially hurt my hamster. I've only had the wheel for one week and it's been like this the entire time. I reached out to customer service but because I bought the wheel from a local pet store that is not accepting returns and not the site directly I would need to buy replacement parts for my brand new wheel through the site to maybe get it to work correctly. I am so disappointed, it was expensive and I was so excited to provide the best for my hamster but this is not it. -Ashlee

I bought a second wheel because it is the most sturdy, durable (have one that's over 2 years old, other brands broke) and the most silent! The design is ingenious because the parts are replaceable and you can switch the tracks. (However the sandy track can cause your hamster pads to bleed so don't leave it in long.) The cage attachment holds the wheel well in place but you have to place the metal stand just right in a plastic bottom cage because it may wobble when your hamster runs and cause noise (that's no fault of the wheel because the cage bottom has play). Plus it's easy to clean and sanitize. Overall just a well designed and quality product at a great price. I will be buying more for my other hamsters! (AND customer service is top notch - back arrived nicked and a new part was sent out right away...they really care, AWESOME AMERICAN COMPANY!) -Shelane M.

I've been searching for a silent hamster wheel that doesn't keep me up at night. Sure enough, after being recommended via you tube channel ( Victoria Raechel) who happens to own a few hamsters of herself, not to mentioned she had also bought this item, I took the chance of purchasing it. All I can say is that I'm very happy and satisfied. Love the design and non squeaky nor any noise. Must have for every small pet owner. Thank you! -Razi R.

I can't believe how bad this wheel considering all the good reviews. First off, I don't have the attachment (just the metal stand that it comes with) so I can't comment on how it performs with that. Basically, this wheel is loud. I've tried it in multiple spots of the hamster cage, on bedding and off. It makes this horribly loud wobbling noise that changes slightly depending on how you adjust the screw that connects the wheel to the stand. I've tightened it completely-- nothing works to quiet this wheel. It's been a few weeks and it's now starting to make a squeaking noise, so that's fun. Very confused as to why it is not as quiet as other reviewers say because I have tried EVERYTHING to make it quieter. This wheel was so damn expensive that I have to get my money's worth, so I guess I will be sleeping with ear plugs for the next couple years. -Sophie F.

I bought the 9” for my two gerbils. There is one flaw with this wheel: when the bolt is tightened accurately to hold the wheel in position, it is too tight for my little gerbils to turn. Therefore, I have to loosen the bolt and the wheel hangs a little tilted in order to make the wheel part turn easily. I wish there was a solution to this issue! -Carly S.

I have a young Syrian hamster and he uses this wheel for short spurts. I think he will use it more as he gets bigger. It is silent. The only sound I hear is his feet hitting the path. Nice that he doesn’t fly out of it like he did on an old school wheel. Bought one for my niece’s hamster too. Cheapest price I’ve found and with two wheels I got free shipping. I bought the extra bearing just in case. I was looking at the 12 in. , but my screen lid would not have fit on my aquarium due to the added inches from the wheel stand. This was an investment, but I’m hoping it will last for years to come. -Virginia P.

The wheel is great. Super quiet, rotates smoothly, and my hamster loves it. My only complaint is the sandy track...her nails got filed too short from running on the wheel all night.

I bought two of these wheels with the cage attachments about two weeks ago. These wheels are a blessing. It's actually large enough for both of my Syrian hamsters to run comfortably.

I bought this wheel about a year ago for my dwarf hamster Vanilla Bean, and it has held up immensely well! I am incredibly happy with this wheel, it is the only one I have ever used that was truly silent (except for little hamster paw noises of course!). The plastic is thick and heavy duty, which makes taking it apart to clean it very easy. I use a toothbrush to get in the cracks, but it fits tightly enough it isn't really necessary. In the stand, it sits at a perfect height for my hamster to climb in. I especially like the guard in the front, he seems more comfortable due to it. My only complaint is that when dirty, I find it tends to unscrew itself. After a clean, I never have this problem, so I can't fault the product for it. Vanilla Bean doesn't need to put much pressure on the wheel either in order to make it start to spin, nor to stop, which was an issue I've had with other wheels. The part he runs on too, has tiny ridges, making it easy for his paws to grip onto, without sliding or causing a tripping hazard. I recommend this product to anyone with a dwarf hamster, or young syrian.

This wheel is sent from heaven. I sleep so lightly and I wake up 3-6 times a night but never from this wheel. It’s super quiet and my dwarf hamster loves it! Only complaint is that the stand starts to loosen after time. How I fixed it is I put another washer in addition to the two on the back. This solved the problem and the only thing I need to do is tighten it occasionally. -Paige A.

Bought this after two failed attempts with the Kaytee 10" Silent Spinner. It's silent for the most part and very easy to clean and reassemble. My only wish is that this wheel came with a 10" option. It just meets the size requirements of my hamster and I know that he could definitely run faster if he had a slightly larger wheel. I would have bought the 12" if I had space. Regardless, he loves the wheel and goes on every night. He's figured out the perfect speed to run at for this size wheel and he can happily tread all he wants! I also received the wheel within a week after purchasing and I live near Toronto. I am very pleased with the purchase. - Olivia L.

Arrived fast and well packaged. The wheel is in fact very quiet, all i can hear are my hammies feet pitter pattering. I do wish the stand was taller though as its a bit akward it put on top of paper bedding. My hammie would like it more if the running area was a little wider, she has to run a very straight line. She also tends to rock backwards before falling down forwards in this wheel. A good option among other wheels. -Keyarra O.

I just bought this from Chewy.com. The wheel was loosely attached to the stand and the cover and track weren’t snapped in properly. However, even after snapping everything together and tightening the wheel to the stand, it is wobbling a lot. So, although the wheel itself spins quietly, the imbalance causes a lot of shaking and noise. I ordered the cage mount from exoticnutrion.com but at this point, I might just have to return the whole thing. Is mine defective? -James H.

Not silent. It's just not. I ordered two of these. The metal base is way too flexible and the wheels are off-balance and wobble a lot no matter how much I adjust them. The center nut on one keeps coming loose. I had to put a dishcloth under one wheel to keep it from banging against the bottom of the cage. Also the plastic wheel itself totally amplifies the sound of hamster footsteps or anything that gets stuck inside it. Why can't it be made from a material that doesn't do that??? I've had cheaper wheels that didn't have that problem, and were quieter than these. On a 1 through 10 scale, with 10 being completely silent, this ranks a 5 or 6 maybe. If you call your product Silent it should be that. -Ian M.
[Response from Seller: Thank you for your review, Ian. The stand for this wheel is made of solid metal, making it much heavier and more durable than most pet exercise wheels. If your wheel is moving around in the cage, we recommend using the direct Cage Attachment to prevent this issue. Unfortunately there's little to be done about the sound of your pets paws running on the track, we apologize for that but appreciate all your helpful feedback.]

QUIETEST wheel on the market. Great price. The standalone base works well in my specific cage and the cage attachment I've heard from friends is great as well. Easy to detach the front for cleanings. Do note, it's not silent if your little friend puts food on it. This is not anything you can avoid and the wheel itself is still quiet. -Caroline M.

I expected a very silent wheel but it wobbles a lot I had to put a piece of tape down my hamster doesn’t mess with it but he’s also a pretty calm hamster it’s good when it’s tapped down I have it on a piece of cardboard platform I also bought the auto clean I don’t think it’s the best the holes are still pretty big and just seem uncomfortable to my hamster I felt bad after one day and put the original one bag on also when I didn’t tape it down the wheel fell over the first night so my hamster had to stop running early that night because I slept through it i couldn’t imagine using it without tape I use foil duct closure tape from 3M it’s very sharp but great for making sure it doesn’t move. -Ana R.

For the price and high ratings I expected this wheel to be holy grail. The first week of my purchase the wheel worked great! Definitely wasn’t silent, but it was the quietest wheel I’ve purchased so far. Unfortunately, the quietest wheel has turned into the loudest wheel. It has a terrible squeak and I’ve tried everything in the books to make it stop, it wobbles back and forth creating more noise, it unscrews itself so you always have to check on it, and it gets super dirty and smelly! Food, poop, and urine gets trapped and smeared inside. Some nights I would have to wake up and clean out the wheel because my hamster loves to store his food inside and when he runs on it, creates a rattling sound along with the other noises that it makes. Not worth it. -Nicole J.

It's really hard to find a good wheel for gerbils. They'll chew up and destroy anything plastic, and mesh wheels are junk and also loud. I thought this wheel was perfect at first since the plastic is hard. It is silent, and the autoclean track with the holes is great. It's safe design wise and my gerbils love it. The only problem is they DO chew up the plastic parts. The ball bearings and such are safe of course, but if you use this wheel for gerbils you have to continuously order replacements for the back and front panels as they get chewed up. -Savannah W.

Excellent wheel for my mice, truly silent except for the cute patter of the little feet.

So happy with this wheel! This is the only wheel that allows me to actually sleep while my hamster is running on it less than 5 feet away from me. It is pricey, but 100% worth it. It also is easy to assemble and clean. -Annalee R.

My average size robo hamster was unable to use this wheel due to its weight. Sorry guys I'm sure it's great for a bigger animal but u should not advertise it for a dwarf. -Josh S.

Great product! Truly silent, solidly-made wheel, with full metal plate base for support. I don't know when my gerbils are using it, unless I can actually see the wheel move, because it is SILENT! I use rocks to stabilise the base, which can slide on the glass aquarium bottom otherwise. -Helena G.

I’ve spent well over $100 dollars on wheels claiming they were silent but every one of them were super loud. I was very skeptical but decided to give this wheel a try and I’m glad I did. It’s very quiet. It wobbles and I can’t figure out how to tighten it but it’s so much quieter than the other wheels and doesn’t keep me up at night so I’m thankful for that. Worth the cost for sure. My hamster and I love it -Rhianna H.

I’m in love with the fact that it’s ALMOST silent, but.... it wobbles and you can’t really tighten it. It also slides around a lot because of the metal bottom so you have to move it back a lot. I’m still super happy with it though. I can finally sleep in the same room as my Syrian hamster! -Rhianna H.

I've just replaced all my wheels with the Silent Runner and not only do my pets love them but the noise level has been cut in half in my room. Good company to deal with too. -Lindsay M.

This is a fantastic wheel for a Syrian Hamster. First of all, I read some of the customer reviews saying it wobbles... it only wobbles if you don't install the weighted plates. It's extremely easy to do and doesn't require any tools. This wheel is silent, big enough for a Syrian, and the track is solid and has a nice grip. My hamster LOVES it! -Philip R.

I had to tape a 3/8" piece of hard foam, cut to the dimensions of the platform, to the bottom of the platform. Now it does not move around the cage, or bang against the plastic tray in my hamster cage. -Candace S. V. (Seller Note: We do have Grip Strips available for the Silent Runner stand)

We absolutely love this wheel, and I say we because no one complains about the squeaky wheel going off all night anymore. Our hamster was a little timid using for the first time, but now loves it as well. The cage attachment works well, but may not have been necessary as the base that comes with it is super sturdy. Highly recommend!. -Kristen C.

The wheel is exactly as it is supposed to be. Our old wheel was keeping my daughter up at night and so we bought this new one and it is silent. Was well worth the money. -Jamie A.

Best wheel I ever purchased. Went through 3 wheels that were ridiculously loud and clunky at night. Forget I even own a hamster, had to keep checking to see if he was even running on it. Well worth the money. -Jessica F.

My hamster and I both love this wheel. For her it’s big enough to not hurt her little back and for me it is SO QUIET compared to my previous wheel. Used to wake up 1/2/3 times a night now I don’t at all. It is totally worth the extra money to have a quality made, size appropriate, quiet hamster wheel. -Rebecca D.

My hamster wouldn’t run on her other wheel, but she loves this one. She can’t fall out of it and it’s very quiet, which is good for me. -Melissa J.

Totally worth the price because they're actually silent! I was expecting a case of false advertising to be honest (I've been fooled before), but that was absolutely not the case. Now the boys can run all night without keeping everyone in our small house awake. Thanks! -Susan C S.

My syrian hamster LOVES this wheel and i do too! She can finally stay in my room at night because the wheel is SO quiet. The only problem is that you can’t put it all the way against the wall of the tank because it will bang against it but it’s completely silent other than that. -Sara Z.

Definitely the quietest wheel I've found (and safe for the size of my Syrian). I have a terrarium cage and so I need the metal stand at the bottom. In order to keep it from bumping against the bottom of the cage to make noise, I put some industrial strength Velcro on the bottom of, and it's silent, only noise I can now hear is the pitter-pattering of her feet against the bottom of the wheel. -Avery S.

I have tried all the wheels (ALL THE WHEELS!) and they all have one thing or another that makes them annoying. Not this wheel! I sat cringing, waiting for it to start squeaking or creaking or wobbling. But it is gloriously silent. It's well built, safe, and cleans up well with a rinse. Yay! -Kim

This is a great wheel and my sugar gliders LOVE it!!! It is very quiet and easy to assemble and clean. The sandy track works great for keeping their nails short.

Really is silent--just the noise of little hamster feet hitting plastic. We have a glass tank so the metal base was making a noise against the glass, but a little bedding under it solved the problem. Extremely happy with this wheel.

Our winter white uses this wheel. I don't think she had a wheel before coming home to us at over a year old, so she will run for a little, then stop, then start back up. It is a great, safe wheel. My only problem is that in glass aquariums, the metal base- (solid and sturdy!), wiggles on the glass bottom. This can create quite the noise. I have used packing tape all around it, and that certainly helps. I taped the sides of the base of our 12" in with our Syrian, and it isn't enough to stop the rattling, so I am hoping a full tape around the base will fix it.
Overall, would get again.

It's silent. It's quiet. All our hamsters love it. And to top it off, it is safe for our hamsters to use. I wouldn't use any other wheel.

It is very quiet, just like the title says. Love the sandy track for the nails. Easy to assemble, clean and take apart. The base is heavy enough to keep the wheel in place.

Much quieter than the older wheel I had.
