I actually bought this a couple of years ago for my grand kids. Due to lack of space, it wasn't set up till today. First the positives. The table is well constructed and very sturdy. The assembly instructions were by far the best I've ever seen. Very easy to follow and no missing parts.Now the bad...airflow is totally inadequate. Puck constantly dies in center of table which kills the play. Worse yet, the scoreboard function does not work which takes all the fun out of the game.Sorry to say, I would not recommend purchasing no matter how well made and great it looks.

The ESPN air hockey table was great. Easy to put together, once together all worked like a charm. The only downer was the delivery. This product weighs 300 lbs and is strapped to a skid. Paching was great, but the delivery driver refused repeatedly to even listen to my request to drop the package by my front door instead of in my driveway which is on the other side of my house. Told me he could drop it in my driveway or take it back. This order came with inside delivery to the first secure inside location. I realize that they couldn't deliver a 300 lb package into my living room, but dropping it in my front walk instead of my driveway should have been fine. After much debate the driver finally "heard" what i was asking and eventually put the package on my front walk. Product gets an A... delivery guy gets a fail.

To begin I’ve had air hockey tables since I was 8. I’m 42 now. The overall construction is solid. The sensors for the score keeping are decent. That’s where the positives end.The table finish is subpar. It’s only been played on for 3 days and it’s all marked up.The air flow for the table size is weak.The worst part are the pucks the table come with are small and far to lightweight. You spend most of you time just trying to keep it on the table.Would not recommend this table for the price as it’s no better than a cheap 3 in 1 on quality.

Read enough reviews that had me wondering if this was worth purchasing. The table arrived on time AND undamaged. Easy to assemble. The table looks great and functions great. Impressed w/ how it keeps tally of the score. The kids are loving it!

The table is VERY heavy. Time consuming to assemble, and could not find the leg panels to put the legs on, until after the table was flipped over. They were on the top surface of the table, not the bottom where all the other parts were. The table is very sturdy, good air flow. The puck is a bit smaller than I expected, larger ones are too heavy. I bought other paddles that have a nicer grip. Very happy with the purchase.

Wow, did I struggle with this purchase. It was hard for me to pick a table that would give me the right balance of quality for the money spent. I knew at this price point I wasn't getting arcade quality but I expected the puck to move freely and the system to function flawlessly. I knew I wouldn't spend a couple hundred dollars and I was resigned to get something in the $800-900. At the last minute; the one I "wanted" was sold out. So I chose this one.The table is mostly pressed wood as you would expect. I had no broken pieces from delivery and for that I felt lucky. The fan does the job and lifts the puck pretty well. I've played other tables where the fan was strong enough to slightly lift the handheld bumpers. ...this table will not do that.The manufacturer provides more than enough pucks to play and 4 bumpers. I was very happy to see the amount provided. I was REALLY glad to see the bumpers are made pretty well and didn't disappoint or feel cheap. I ordered some extra just in case and the ones provided are far superior to what I bought.The table itself is heavy. The shipping manifest says it weight 175 lbs in packaging. It wasn't terrible to set up but did take 2 people to do it properly and to flip. I may have spent 1 hour on the set up.Technically, there are two power plugs (mildly annoying); one for the air and one for the "game system/sound". I chose to attach the air to a smart plug so I can turn it on and off with Alexa. That was a cool touch that the kids enjoy.The "game system" (whatever you call it) has only a few options. Turn on/off/restart the game. Sound on/off. Then 3 game modes 3 min, 5 min and 7 min. This is probably the most annoying of all. Yes, the system has flawlessly tracked and displayed goals; so you can't complain about that but I hate that you only have 3 - 7 min games. We aren't playing with quarters and people stacked up behind us. Why must we be timed for our games and an unlimited time game won by points only not be an option. My 9 year old sometimes time out on a 7 min game and it doesn't feel as fun as a "true winner".Nothing about this system's features, hardware, or design is upsetting. I'm kinda glad I got "stuck" with this table and didn't end up spending $300+ dollars on a different table where this works perfectly fine for our needs. ...but it wasn't without a significant amount of reading reviews, etc. and a lot of anxiety prior to set up.Good overall product and really a fine balance on price and quality.

I am very happy with my purchase. It's a hit with the whole family!! The table itself is built very sturdy and has all the bells and whistles. This is the perfect size for our family and I love the storage on the sides for the pucks and pushers. Great purchase! I would highly recommend this to friends.

Purchased this table a month ago from Amazon.Com. Assembly instructions are not easy, but OK. Quality of the table is good. But the "electronic scorer" is extremely poor quality and failed in 3 days. The goal boxes are cheap plastic boxes that stick out, and broken in a week. Because the table is made of compressed particle board, the wood screws can not be used to put them back.By the way, you need to keep few bandages handy while using this table. The sharp edges of the table legs, the panel boards with the logo 'EA Sports', the plastic arch holding the "electronic scorer" surely will take a toll. cuts, nicks, scrapes etc. Everyone who played on this table needed a bandage!Overall this Air Hockey table is fun, but the company should improve the quality and safety issues, which should not cost them a lot.
