Quarkwheel Reviews 

These wheels are absolutely amazing. Portable with so much power. You can set it up anywhere and just throw. I am so impressed. Price is great!

I bought my quark wheel mid August I think got it in less than 7 days and was shocked by the turn around time especially coming from India. Customer service was excellent. The wheel and pedal are gorgeous I bought all black. I have a small studio space so this product was perfect as I can throw mid to larger pieces just like a standard wheel and store on my shelf when not using. Clean up was super easy. The pans come out easily and attach easily. At first when I used it I thought it was leaking then realized I put the pans on backwards so if you have that issue just check. It’s probably that. The pedal was easy to pair. And I forgot to turn the pedal off for 3 days it still works perfect and the 9volt battery is amazing. It won’t loose charge because it’s not a rechargeable one and uses such little power that the battery lasts just like it does in a smoke detector. Wish they teamed up with a company like speedball and offered plastic bats but the bats they sell are great. I just personally prefer plastic over Masonite. Centers clay well. The motor is smooth I can’t say enough nice things about it. The price for what you get is also very reasonable. I use this wheel everyday and love it more and more with each use. The one I got was the s+ because I just bought a kiln and had a super tight budget but it’s perfect.

I’ve only had my Quark S+ for one day, so my review cannot speak to the long-term use of the product. It was delivered ahead of schedule (arrived on Monday but ETA was Wednesday) so that was a pleasant surprise!

For unboxing, I noticed everything was packaged securely and with care. There may be customs delays depending on your country (I’m in the U.S.), but I seemed to get lucky (and the quark order folks seem very on top of it) and received my wheel and pedal within a week of ordering.

I messaged with Quark’s customer service a couple times because I planned to purchase extra bats (the wheel comes with four), and every interaction has been courteous, helpful, and prompt.

I’ve thrown ten small pots on the Quark S+ and so far I am enjoying it very much! The pedal is very responsive and comfortable to use, and the instructions that came with the wheel and pedal were easy and straightforward. I’m eager to see how long the battery on the pedal lasts for me before I need to replace it.

I’m giving the Quark S+ 5 stars right now for being a good product that is straightforward and honest about what it provides. Remember that this is a small wheel, great for smaller spaces or apartments. I can carry it around by myself and put it on virtually any tabletop I’d like to make it the perfect height for me. I can’t say the same for a Shimpo or Brent, which are fabulous and powerful wheels, but also too heavy for just me.

If you are looking to mass produce or make HUGE stuff, this might not be the wheel for you. But if you’re ready to commit to a nicer-end, compact starter wheel so you can practice more pottery technique, definitely consider this one. I have the cheaper Quark S+, but there is also the Quark Lit which is totally battery-powered, so you can take it virtually anywhere. If you want to throw pottery on the beach or in the forest and can afford to spend a little more, maybe consider that model! I’m happy with the plugged in and economical version though.
