Why choose the Aspire Mini?
- Lightweight design (12kg)
- Compact tabletop footprint
- Smooth Shimpo motor
- Foot pedal control
- Easy to move indoors or outdoors
The Aspire must be used on a sturdy table. Many people choose to stand while throwing, or use a tall stool depending on bench height.
It’s a great option if you want the freedom to move your wheel around the home — or pack it away between sessions.
Pricing is based on weekly blocks
Weekly rate – $75
4 weeks – $225
8 weeks – $375
You can book the weekly rate for any number of weeks,
If you’d like to keep the wheel longer, you simply add more time - either by-the-week or in a 4 or 8 week block.
Rental Periods
A week is calculated as 7 days from your pickup time.
To avoid moving into the next week, please choose a return time that’s the same as (or earlier than) your pickup time.
Who it’s best suited for
The Aspire Mini is ideal if you:
- Have limited space
- Want something easy to move
- Prefer working with smaller pieces
- Are exploring pottery for the first time
- Like the idea of throwing outside on a warm day
NB: you must have a sturdy table or kitchen bench to pop the wheel onto.
If you’re planning to throw larger amounts of clay or prefer a full-size floor wheel, the Whisper-T or RK-55 may be a better fit.
