It looks identical to the Trixie cork wood wheel but the quality control is much better on the Karlie version (but it also costs a bit more). I had that for our last Syrian.
I've also had the silent runner and the 21cm rodipet cork wheel and both are silent.
I wouldn't call any Wodent wheels silent though! Quiet maybe, but they can develop a squeak and they don't spin nearly as well as the others mentioned.
This is the Karlie Flamingo. It's gone up in price since I last bought mine, so not great value - but silent. Like the Trixie wheel, they're not as long lasting as other silent wheels though - usual thing is they end up tipped forwards on the bearings and the wheel rubs against the stand eventually - and not fixable.

Edit - I've also got the Carolina Storm Wheel (not the Express version). It's silent on its stand, but not when attached to bars! But I don't find it big enough and a bit slithery - prefer the cork wheels. |
Oh! I've heard of this wheel, but apparantley it begins to rot if the hamster pees on it continously?
