This machine for the price is wonderful. Three ways of power. Very easy to set up and tear down. Will serve the ball center left and right and run your butt all over the court if you want that to be. For the money I would recommend for anybody wanting to practice their pickleball.

Read the reviews and ordered after returning one that had no instructions or videos.When I received it-took it outside and it worked as advertised. Took it to a gym 2 x. Second time, it stopped working- thought the d rechargeable batteries had lost charge. Plugged into electrical outlet and wouldn’t work. Brought back home and read all the troubleshooting instructions. Thought I had it figured out. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to take to the gym again (too crowded). When weather warmed up outside and I had a chance-took outside. Figured out the rollers weren’t turning enough to throw the balls.Called Franklin Sports and talked to Kevin in customer service. He said to email a screenshot of the machine with the order number from Amazon and they would replace it., after I told him what had happened, including date of order and delivery. When I screenshot the order saw that my time to return had run out a few days before my call to Kevin.Franklin Sports replaced the unit.Gave 5 stars because I liked the machine (we have a larger and heavier machine) when I am by myself it is easy to carry, load and unload.Great Customer Service!!! Today you do not always have that, especially if the time to return has expired—most would not have considered weather a problem—expiration ended their responsibility.

I had to return the first unit bc it did not function properly. I’ve used the second one about 10 times and it works fine 95 percent of the time. It’s a good value for the money if you’re willing to clear misfeed balls, adjust the balls so they enter the eject chamber. The two speeds and 3 angle settings are useful. It holds 17 balls but only 15 will come out during a cycle. Depending on the type and age of the balls loaded it will give you different trajectories – which is actually ok if you’re trying to practice shots. It’s very lightweight, easy to set up and the plug in option is useful if there is power at the court. I would buy it again – just realize that this the low end of the product range available so you have to put up with a bit of management

Never thought I could like something so much. It works terrific, launches balls 30ft on low, 40ft on high. I use in in my 20×40 rv garage, sold the rv now I play PB in it, not perfect but the garage works. I added a plug in remote to remotely turn it off when finished( $10 on Amazon). I wish it had small legs to reduce the lob height but I just put a board under the backside when I want to change the angle of the ball. BTW don’t buy the cheaper Franklin baseball launcher it will not take the PB size balls
