388PBH Pickleball Machine, 4 Adjustable Angles, Includes 9 Pickleballs, Powered by Power Bank/Battery, for Beginners

Update:Replacement was sent out and it’s working fine. Seller contacted me after I left a poor review and did a great job to correct the problem. Seller sent out a replacement unit at no charge. New unit is working fine.I have to compliment the seller for doing the right thing. Thank you.I changed my review to 5 stars.The replacement unit throws the ball pretty hard. I’m hoping the unit last a long time.Original review =Stopped working on second try . Purchased with gift cards from Christmas. Finally got warm weather with no wind and after 3 balls one of the rotating thrower wheel stopped turning. Turned off and tried again worked for a couple more ball then stopped again.Turned off and figured I’d let it rest. Decided to work on my serve for about 15 minutes.Tried again and the one thrower wheel won’t even turn , unit just dribbles out a ball that falls to the ground. I passed the return window so I’m out of luck. I did read some of the reviews and I shouldn’t purchased this unit or I should have tried it right away and returned it. I waited for better weather. Only got about 7-8 balls thrown properly. I don’t recommend this unit at all. I’m out about 40$.

Great price and ideal for solo players to practice basic return shots. Just don’t expect a powerful serve or high-end quality at this level.

Looking to improve my skill level, I decided to invest in the Furlihong 3802PBH Pickleball Machine. Now lets get down to it. The machine is light weight and made to last. The ball feed so far is consistent. The settings for speed, spin, trajectory makes it suitable for all levels. The ball racks are easy to assemble and being able to hold 19 balls is GREAT!!!!!! I would highly recommend getting a POWER BANK for the machine. Easy on the wallet very affordable.

Jams frequently (at least once per round) and only holds 9 balls. So unless you have a partner to continuously load the machine and pop down the jams, it’s really not worth getting. The live definitely matches the quality.

This is the 2nd machine. The first machine had issues with the wheels that served the balls. One wheel wouldn't continuously spin. I received the replacement machine even before I was able to drop off the defective one. The replacement machine has issues cycling the balls through the serving chute. Every 3rd and/or 4th ball would jam.

Only holds nine balls. But so far after a week , works great.

The idea of this machine is a good one but poorly executed. The ball feed gears are too weak. They just click and can't drop the ball down to the spinning wheels that have plenty of power. I am sending the first one back and hopefully the replacement will work. I've seen videos of them working so hopefully the next one will work. One more thing, the supplied power cord is ridiculously short and only works with a power bank. A supplied ac power cord would be nice to have.

Listing states machine is for beginners, butcan be used for some practice drills for intermediate players.
