Is the Wodent Wheel or Carolina Storm better?

[Jenibelle]

Hi!
I'm wondering which one is quieter? Has anyone ever used both before, and if so, what is your preference?

I prefer Carolina Wheels. More expensive, but they're silent, easy to clean, bigger, and chew proof. My yellows go through wheel tracks like candy but not on CSEs

Only thing I don't like is the bulk of the PVC pipe stands. Because of the stand height added I can't fit them in any of my bins that I can fit a Wodent Wheel Sr.

The CSEs are much easier to clean and if you have a Hamster who is not thrilled with being enclosed in their wheel the CSEs is open where the WW Sr is not.

The Wodent wheel diameter is slightly larger too - 11 inches as opposed to 10.5 inches on the California Wheel. Plus you can get a 23" Wodent wobust wheel as well. So some of it might depend on how big your hamster is when fully grown. But a 10.5 inch would be fine at first. If your hamster grows supersized you might need to change it for a Wobust wheel. I'd say the 11" Wodent is a good standard size for a Syrian. Having said that I like the sturdy stand and litter tray that the California wheel has, and it's deep open running track, plus it is height adjustable.

I'm guessing that because of the PCP pipe stand (which seems much more sturdy), the Carolina is virtually silent?

I also did like the litter tray idea!
