International Playthings TableTop Air Hockey

My girls, aged 3 and 6 LOVE this game! They play the real version when we go to parties and arcade places and this mini version keeps them entertained! They love trying to score on each other and even my husband and I can get in on the fun! It inadvertently teaches them angles and strategy all while having fun! A great toy! NB the air holes were not all poked all the way through so some of the spots on the table caused the puck to stop but that was easily fixed with a safety pin

The quality of this product is quite low to say the least. There are dust all over it when I first opened it and some of the holes (that allow air through) aren't even punctured. The battery slot is highly flawed as you need a screw driver every time (you just DON'T do that on a high consumption product) and the batteries barely fit. They just keep popping out, so in the end I had to quickly force the cap on so they would stay. Lastly, the surface isn't completely flat so puck tends to move toward the center (however, I consider this acceptable since most of these tabletop air hockey sets are like this). I gave this review a 3 and not any lower because it's really cheap. If you go to any store, the price you will get is $30. Plus it does work and it's still a lot of fun. Performance-wise, it's pretty much the same as the $30 set I had a few years back. I just have no confidence that it will last very long. Few additional notes of interest: -you get 4 pucks and 4 'sticks' -requires 2 D size batteries

I bought this as a gift and when it arrived (a week after I needed it, mind you), the box (for the game itself) was disgusting. The outside shipping box was fine. The edges and flat sides of the box for the game itself were worn down to the point where the print on the box was gone and it was yellowed with stains! It looks as though this item was stored in someone's closet for 20 years, moved around quite a few times and they were just looking to get rid of it. It honestly looked like a used garage sale item. I cannot give this as a gift because of the terrible shape it is in. I feel completely embarassed that I spent money on this and that I even thought this might be a good gift. The pieces inside are flimsy and cheap and I am completely disappointed. This is my very first review and I purchase from amazon all the time. Trust me, if I feel compelled enough to write a review, I am thoroughly disappointed and disgusted.

Just like my title says, you get what you pay for. I didn't expect it to be quality for the price. I did, however, expect to be able to make the puck hover enough to make me forget that it's not quality. The air pressure didn't move the little plastic puck AT ALL, in a stationary position. Although, the air pressure may have helped a bit when you initially apply your own momentum by hitting it with the paddle. It just wasn't enough to make the game enjoyable.

I got this for my nephew for Christmas. I was very surprised at the size of the item. I thought it would be much bigger. The pucks are only about an inch and a half in diameter. It was still fun for him to play with, but it is definitely a "table-top" game.

I bought this air hockey game on a whim as a last gift for my 5 year old grandson, thinking it was something he and his dad could play together. Grandson opened it tonight (Xmas Eve) and immediately was ready to play! We played several games and both of us enjoyed it lots, then Dad played with his son and the smiles, laughs and high-fives were wonderful to watch. The middle section "bridge" thingy doesn't stay on very well when players are playing with enthusiasm, and the motor noise is a bit loud, but no one seemed to mind. This is a keeper! Grandma has a winner!

Perfect size for young and older players. Helps develop hand-eye coordination. The only thing I would do to improve this product is to have either a small drawer or tray where the accessories could be stored.

This was bought for a 6 year old boy. He liked it and it was popular with 4 and 9 year old cousins. Easy to play, no setup time and fast. I felt it was not very sturdy and probably won't last, but it was a good gift.
