For hobby use a used wheel would probably be fine. Basically you need to check out the wheels by trying them, if possible. When you center the clay, especially large amounts, the wheel should not slow or stall. The wheel should not shake excessively. Sit down, make sure you are comfortable. Personally I hate using wheels that don't have tray attachments.I would not buy a used kiln that was in heavy use at a school. They will most likely be old and finicky, and they will need parts and coils that you will not know how to replace. If you do end up getting one, be aware that you will have to have an electrician come and install a larger voltage outlet, plus a heat shield. You will need a ventilation system if the kiln is indoors.
