I actually have both these wheels, the wodent junior, and the karlie 20cm one (hamster toy horder??? Me??? Never!!)

I prefer the Karlie, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO quiet, all you can hear is the light tapping of your hamsters feet on the wood. The obvious downsides are that as its wood it is chewable and if your hamster likes to pee in the wheel it will absorb it and smell really bad. This can be over come with a coat of plasti coat which is a child safe (and therefore hammy safe!) paint. I found that my local Wilkinson stocked it and managed to get it in clear so that the wheel still looks natural, but lots of colours are also availible if you fancy something a bit funkier!
