I would never have considered it except I saw it in action over the weekend. A fellow potter was doing a demo on it and I fell in love. He sat it on top of a bucket and went to town. (no, he didn't use the legs) He has used his for a couple of years now and wouldn't part with it I offered to buy it from him .
In general, I like kick wheels, not electric wheels. But this one is different. It can go REALLY slow and quite fast. The speed is controlled by a little knob not a foot petal which gives you a lot more control set it and it stays at that speed. No wet clay colapsing from a suddenly speeding wheel caused by an accidental nudge of the foot as you change positions. It is just the right size full sized wheel head (11 inches) and weight 26 pounds. It uses regular bats (it also comes with the weird square one).
I wouldn't recomend it for production potting throwing 20 pound pots, but it is just right for a person like me that throws and trims a few pots a week and wants a wheel that doesn't take up a lot of precious floor space, nor weigh half a ton. It isn't a junky toy, which is what I thought when I first looked at it. It actually works. This is now on my Christmas list. I will add another review after I use mine.
