First off, I guess due to the size, this item takes a couple extra days to be delivered.Not a big problem, as you're told this up front.

There is no picture on the outside of the plain cardboard box, so if you're ordering for a present, the recipient will have no idea what's inside (young kids) save for the words "Air Hockey Table" on the front (fine for adults).Made this mistake for my son's (5yo) birthday.He tore the paper off and stared at the brown box, having no idea what it was.Had to open and show him before he got excited about it.

PROS:Table is packaged very well within a box inside an outer box.There are pieces of wood at the ends to ensure the corners don't get mangled.My table arrived in perfect condition.The looks very nice and with only 4 screws to put in the goals, it was up and ready in no time.This is a plug-in model, so you don't have to worry about batteries (this is also a CON as you need to set up near an outlet, not exactly "portable").

And that's where the fantasy ended...

CONS:While it is a nice looking table, and a perfect size for smaller kids (again, my 5yo), functionally, it's HORRIBLE.The fan is not nearly powerful enough to reach the entire table to keep the puck afloat and is quite loud.A small ring around the center of the table is all you get for real "air" hockey playability.The center of the table, and outside of this small "ring" of air, there's nothing the puck scrapes on the table surface.Dead zones are, therefore, most of the ends of the table, the corners, and the precise middle (the "faceoff" area).Underneath the table, it's obvious why...There is nothing more than a 92mm computer fan providing the air.While this is fine for keeping your PC cool, it's not nearly powerful enough to drive an air hockey table.

CONCLUSION:While my son gets a kick out of it (for the time being), I am sorely disappointed.Again, buyer beware you get what you pay for.Save your money on this model and get something a little more expensive to provide a much better experience.

(Maybe I'm just jaded.About 40+ years ago, when I was a kid, I had a nice table.The puck was actionable all over the table never hit the table surface.I had hours of fun on that unit.Astounding to see how far air hockey games have *fallen* in quality since then...)

I bought this for my nephew at xnas. I looked at several air hockey games. A lot of the other games ran on batteries and I didn't want to deal with batteries running out.It was better than I anticipated and we had w blast playing it

This game is okay, the board is a bit flimsy and the grandkids have to be careful leaning too hard on it.The motor does produce air for the puck to float, just not as much as advertised.
