ZXMOTO Table Tennis Robot with Catch Net Automatic Ping Pong Robot Machine for Training

I received this unit two days back and played an hour so here are my initial impressions. I'll add more later.I used to be a competitive TT player and had a USATT rating of about 1850.I used to own the Newgy 1040 TT robot for a few years. Then it developed jamming problems and couldn't be used anymore.This unit is almost an exact replacement for the Newgy 1040. Shipping was fast. The unit is carefully packaged against damage and all the components are wrapped in individual plastic bags.The instruction manual that came with it has the wrong instructions on how to assemble the net. Also the manual isn't written by a native English speaker but on the whole the manual does make sense.The incorrect part is that the two curved iron supports don't go to the two corners of the net but to the center of the net and arch out from there. I'll add a picture of the setup.Other than that the setup is quick and easy and isn't challenging at all.It's a very useful ball machine on the whole to practice, improve one's basic strokes such as drive against top/back/sidespin, practicing topspin shots and also backspin shots.Even at the lowest ball frequency setting it seems to spit out balls at about a rate of 20 balls/min. That's a pretty fast clip since playing at that speed will tire me out in about 10 min. Depends on your fitness.One complaint I have is that at low speed settings, the machine doesn't work all that well. For low speed play, I have to incline the head a lot so the ball can cross the net. That makes the ball very high and very loopy. I think this is a consequence of he head positioning. If the height of the head was adjustable maybe it'll help. I'll add more about this later.It can be an excellent aerobic exercise as well. If you put it on full oscillation and play only with forehand or backhand and cover the whole table you'll be sweating in a few minutes. It also requires absolute technique.So, one warning about that: you need to know how to play. Look up some instructions videos on you tube. Get your technique right. Start slow and easy and develop your game. It'll be great if you have someone to show you how to play and correct your technique. All racquet sports are technical and you can't just start playing. You will develop very bad habits. If you go that way, this machine will frustrate you.I hope this machine has good quality and will perform well for years to come. It can be a very fun and rewarding experience becoming a better player.

I had previously owned a Newgy 1040, but I had lots of problems with it after about 4 months. After going back and forth with Newgy, I just gave up and tossed the old tennis robot.After about a year, I decided to look for a replacement. I had looked at the very expensive Butterfly lineup, but I wasn't ready to commit to spending $1200+ for a robot. I found this one after doing a few searches online on expert sites geared toward professional training. This robot was called out as the best value, and a great machine. After having it now for a few months, I have to agree.It was REALLY easy to setup - no screws to attach to your table, it actually has a pretty ingenious way of attaching at the end of the table. The side nets are secured by very simple compression screws that won't scuff your table surface. I had mine unboxed, setup, and running in about 10 minutes.The control switch is intuitive with plenty of configurable options. It has held up very well so far, with no signs of slowing down.I also appreciated that they supplied two extra rubber wheels (the pieces that spin in the head unit to launch the balls), and they look very easy to replace if needed in the future.

Overall, this product works well and met my expectations. The collection net is a must! Don't buy a product without it (or get your own net). You don't want to pick up 100 balls every 3 minutes of practice.Assembly was a little frustrating - the manual is blurry, there's no video, and the instructions are poorly written. However, there's not too much room to mess it up and eventually I got it right.The controls are great, but the angle of the robot can only be adjusted manually. This means that if you set a higher value of top spin, balls will start to fly out. If you put too little top spin, or back spin, balls will go into the net. It would have been nice if the robot adjusted the angle according to the parameters, but maybe I'm asking for too much at this price range. Also, no side spin at all.Still, for what it can do it does it well, so overall I'm happy.

The media could not be loaded.  Amazing ping pong exercise equipment. Works very good for my son!This machine has a well-designed, and it’s easy to set up and take down. Can adjust the angle at will, great for practicing all kinds of catches.Excellent machine, makes practice fun. I LOVE IT! I will highly recommend it to my friends!Thanks for fast shipping!!!

First the good: it was relatively easy to setup and it would be really quick to put up and take down. But the model I was sent had two major flaws with it. First, the mount point for one of the brackets to hold up the net was installed backwards making it impossible to properly set up half of the catching net. Second the plastic molded tray that fed the balls into the feeding tube did not fit right. It created an area behind the spinning feeding wheel where balls would jam (I had just bought brand new high quality 40mm balls too). All said, I got about 5 balls to shoot out over about two hours and I ended up boxing it back up to and returning it the same day I received it. Complete failure of a product and a waste of my time.There was no way the model I was shipped would have passed any quality inspection if anyone bothered to test it. I would not recommend this model or honestly anything from this cheap company.

Wow. I never thought that I would be flabbergasted with a product being utter garbage, and here I am.This is the first review I have ever written, and I am only doing so because I hope no one will ever get their hopes utterly destroyed like mine and my 7 year old son’s were.The instructions are indecipherable, and the machine is uncontrollable. Thanks Amazon for allowing a 4+ review to somehow slip by on this piece of trash.
