It is the first and only wheel I have used and I cannot compare it to any other, but I believe that as a beginner it has helped me a lot from the first uses! I never struggled in removal or manicure, it gave me confidence and assurance from the first use! It is stable, does not vibrate even at high speeds, and the pen is high quality and lightweight! I have not used the foot pedal though. I have had it for 11 months now and I am thinking of buying a second one as a backup!!
