| MAJOR
DIFFERENCES
There
are a few differences between our deluxe and economy prize wheels, which may not
be immediately evident at a quick glance at each of the two different prize wheel
product pages. Even at a distance, a "blind eye" might not be able to
see the differences without closer inspection. We felt we needed to educate our
customers about these differences, and allow you to make the choice between economy
vs. deluxe prize wheels based on the needs of your company. Please take time to
read the major differences and what they may mean to you: Backing:
Our deluxe prize wheels have a clear, more durable backing to withstand years
of use. A more durable backing also ensures the deluxe prize wheels will hold
up against the wear that can sometimes be a result of many setups and repacks.
Our economy version has a much less durable backing that may not hold up as well
as the deluxe model. Finish:
From a distance, the finish of both of the prize wheels looks very similar. However,
upon closer inspection, you will see that the legs of the deluxe prize wheel feature
a textured finish to better match that of the wheel itself; the prize wheel is
made from ABS plastic, a light but ridgid material used to make molded products.
The legs of the economy prize wheel, on the other hand, have a smooth, black-painted
finish. Dust and small scratches can also be seen in the finish of the economy
version as well. Circular
Rotation & Balance: The
deluxe prize wheel is a "perfect" circle, with few to no flat spots. This results
in a better circular rotation. The economy prize wheel, however, has more flat
spots, which result in more of a counter-rotation; this means that when you spin
the prize wheel, as the wheel begins to slow down to a stop, it will then counter-rotate.
This is unlike the deluxe prize wheel, which has little to no counter-rotation.
"Clicker":
The "clicker"
on the deluxe prize wheel is made from a thicker, more pliable material, than
the "clicker" on the economy prize wheel. The flexure point of the "clicker" on
the deluxe prize wheel is near the center of the flat extension to allow it to
bend easier when passing over the prize wheel pegs. This ensures the clicker will
withstand many uses without breaking. The "clicker" on the economy prize wheels
is made from a stiffer material, with its flexure point just above the point of
the "clicker". As a result of the position of the flexure point, normal bending
on the "clicker" from the economy model causes discoloration, which is an indication
of stress damage. Center
Disc: The
center disc on the deluxe prize wheel mounts into position safely and securely
with ease. The center disc from the economy model, on the other hand, is rather
difficult to put into place. Designing
Prize Inserts: We
provide our deluxe prize wheel with printing template software for you to easily
pring your prize inserts. With this software, you can easily design and print
your inserts in seconds! The economy prize wheels do not come with printing template
software. However, we do provide the economy prize wheels with a blank insert
template in PDF form for you to create your own inserts on your computer by filling
in the empty template. |

Which Style Is Right For Your Business?
When
it comes to deciding whether an economy or upscale product is right for you, there
are two major points to consider:
Appearance- What environment
will this product be used in? If your business or company uses a prize wheel frequently,
you'll want a product that will withstand frequent use without breaking or faltering.
In this case, the deluxe prize wheel might be the product to best suit your needs.
As previously mentioned, the economy and deluxe prize wheels both look very similar
from a distance, and have the same functionality. Both versions convert from floorstanding
units to countertop units, and both allow you to easily insert your prizes into
the slots of the prize wheel.
Price- Despite the differences
in quality, if your company doesn't use a prize wheel as frequently, the economy
version might be best for your needs. If you need an economically-priced prize
wheel, our economy model is ideal for you.
