48'' XL Cat Wheel - Cat Wheels for Indoor Cats Which Doesn't Negatively Affect Your Cat's Spine - 15.7'' Extra Wide Cat Treadmill - Fits 2 Cats Side-by-Side, 1-Year Warranty

The media could not be loaded. Oh my word! Nordic Beast, you Rock!! Seriously, I hemmed and hawed for weeks over whether to purchase the 48" Nordic wheel for my 4 cats. It is a lot of money for a cat toy. My husband and I finally took the plunge. It is one of the best decisions. We do not regret it one bit.First, every piece of the wheel was BEAUTIFULLY packed in bubble wrap. Seriously, no scratches or damage. The packing was so thought out. I was so pleased at the care and respect taken to package all the bits and pieces. I mean who wants to spend a lot of money on something they have to put together only to find pieces of it scratched or damaged in which you have to take the time to have that piece replaced. I mean nothing is more disappointing than being excited about something for your fur babies only to have to be delayed further. This is definitely not one of those instances! I felt that the company appreciated the fact that I was purchasing their product for my wonderful fur babies and they let me know by taking care that their product would be delivered safely and undamaged.The instructions were super easy to understand, but I did appreciate the fact that there was a video I could watch just to make sure I was putting the wheels on correctly. I did see other reviews where purchasers were saying they got thin cuts from handling the wood pieces. I noticed in the package with all of the screws and bolts, they had included a pair of gloves to assist with the installation of the pieces. I only use them for a few pieces, but as a whole I did not use the gloves. But I did feel that it was so awesome to know that the company listen to the reviewers comments and added the gloves for future purchasers. At least that was my take on it because why else would people comment about getting cuts if they had a pair of gloves that were included to use. Also, I did note that the instructions said to glue the velcro down, however the velcro that was included in my box was the super adhesive kind so no glue was necessary. I am not sure if that was an earlier version of the instructions , but it was not needed for my installation of the wheel . It was super easy to place the adhesive velcro all around the inside rails to hold the carpet.Another thing that I definitely want to note is I love that this company included wood anchors for all of the pieces. I have put together so many things through the years that just have you screwed directly into wood but then after much use the screws end up breaking through the wood and then the piece is no longer sturdy. By using these anchors that fit beautifully into the pre-drilled holes, I believe that it leads to so much stronger construction of the unit. My husband and I did not want to put our money to other cat wheels by other companies because we believe that the Nordic Beast is the real deal and not a knock off like the other cat wheels. We did not want to put the safety of our fur babies into a product just because it was less expensive.The track sounds like a smooth roller skate or skate board. It is not disturbing to listen to in the least. We have the Nordic Beast near our television so we can enjoy watching the cats play on the wheel while we're watching TV. We started out with a laser pointer to entice the cats to play on the wheel, but the cats were already interested because they were watching every phase of my putting the wheel together. I am so confident in the construction. Within 30 minutes of putting it in place, one of my cats had already figured out the wheel and was using it for a few turns peaking the interest of the others. Of course, the one cat that really needs it just wanted to use it as a cat bed the first night. 😆 I was pleasantly surprised the second day when one of my other cats started to use the wheel at full speed for a few turns. It makes our hearts happy to know that our cats can get their zoomies out without tearing up my house or knocking things over! 🤣 Still waiting on our big girl to use the wheel, but I am sure she won't be too far behind.Please, if you have any reservations about getting the wheel, be rest assured that the Nordic Beast is well worth the money and entertainment! Your fur babies will thank you!

Made to last, make sure you have space for it.. its big.I have 2 Mainecoon mix about 17lb, wasn't sure if they would use it. One is always active, running around the house with the zoomies, jumping on stuff, the other is chill and lazy ..., as soon as I put it together the active cat pretty intuitivly hopped on. The vid I posted it had been together less than 3 minutes when I recorded without and toy to get him going.... he uses it everyday. He is still getting used to running a steady pace. I find he does best running if I point the a Lazer lower on the wheel, if I hold the included toy towards the top, he tries to jump high on the incline and it gets going really fast.... if you have an active courius cat .. go for it ..my docile cat wants nothing to do with it. Stepped on it once.. it moved, and she was out maybe in time. I wanted a big wheel, all the other brands that advertise being 48in were all outside diameter this one was inside its big. And a lot wider than other brands.It came well packaged. Very clear instructions, good pictures and explanations. I definitely recommend a drill or electric screwdriver. Lots of screw. You could do it with the included screwdriver but it would probably take 5 hours and a few hand cramps...Everything Is pre drilled and symmetrical so there is no way to mess it up, it all fits together perfectly. It's feels very sturdy not wobbly, it's made out of real plywood not particle board or plastic.It's not silent but also not loud. More of a whooshing sound. I am in a zoom room and and on the phone all day for work. And he can be running and full out and it isn't distracting, and my coworkers cannot hear it though the mic. And my girlfriend can't hear it in the other room.The only distraction is that it is the background of my zoom meeting and everyone starts watching the cat run all day and talks about it.

This is a bit bigger than I originally thought. It works great though. Once set up, we left it locked so our two cats could get used to it. Our younger cat was intrigued immediately. We began unlocking it during the day and locking it at night. Once our younger cat figured it out, we leave it unlocked all the time now. Our older cat finally got on it. She walked quite a few times. Then got off and looked at our younger cat. The look on her face “you’re an idiot!” She hasn’t been on since, that we have seen. Our youngest gets on and runs in short bursts.This cat wheel is well made. It’s quiet, there’s not any wobbling. My son put it together, with help from a friend of his. Just a few hours to assemble, and it was ready to go! I feel it’s well worth the money!My youngest loves to scratch the carpet on the wheel. Once he’s completed pulling the carpet runner off, partially. He takes off! The carpet runner is easy to put back on!We’ve had this a month or so. Cannot wait to see what else they do with this wheel. Hoping my older cat gets on it again.
