This toy is supposed to be an add on to the Sqweel, an item that finds itself somewhat lacking and has the ability to swap out the rotating wheel. I picked this up because the Sqweel only worked in one specific direction for me, and that lack of variety was boring. I picked up the 'Nubbed' Sqweeler, hoping to get an interesting change.

The item, unlike the silicone original, is made out of TPR. This has a slightly lower safety rating, but still tanks a 7. The material is significantly squishier, has a TON of drag. The drag, when there is no lube used, creates a problem. You touch that wheel and your machine is going to stall. Which, really defeats the purpose.

The wheel fits into the machine just as intended, but I think it is catching the sides of the walls a little bit, and creates an extra noise (in addition to the noisiness of the Sqweel itself) that is irritating.

The texture of the toy, in use, is not remarkably exciting. The little nubs are barely noticeable when in motion, and the toy has not taken well to lube. This makes it draggy still, which causes the stalling issue I mentioned before. It does, however, clean up pretty well!

I'm still rather unimpressed with my Sqweel, after this. I'm not sure if the Squeeler I picked was just too dull for me and if I should try another or what. I'll probably try another at some point. I desperately want this toy to work for me, but I'm finding that the original wheel is actually better (when it was not that great in the first place!)

I don't suggest the nubbed sqweeler at all. Maybe another would work better? The others could offer a much more obvious sensation. The nubbed one is too subtle for me, and probably for many others. All I can feel is drag!

I can't enjoy this toy at all. There's no sensation and no matter how much lube, or what kind, is applied, the material drags like crazy and slides off. I can't love it! Back to the original wheel I go!!
