Can't beat it for the price

Great table for the price. I'm very pleased with this table. Didn't have any issues with purchasing or assembly of table. Table went together very easy, everything lined up, table surface was perfectly flat. Time took from opening box to carrying the empty box to trash was less than 1 hr and I had no... read full review »

Good for young kids

For $50 it's worth it as long as it's for young children. I have a 3 and 4 year old and it's perfect, but the set isn't. Blower should be stronger for a $250 list price. The table isn't perfectly flat if you run your hand along it. The pushers and pucks are of very cheap plastic. Luckily I had similar... read full review »

Good for the kids

I purchased this table for my 7 year old and 5 year old for Christmas. It was easy to assemble and seems to be of good quality. They seem to enjoy the table and it fits their age and size. The scoreboard runs on batteries, I don't know why thy could not power it through the table? Sometime the pucks are not recognized in the goal, so sometimes you do not get your point when scoring. We had a few adults come over to a party and we played on the table. This table is too small for good size adults that are use to playing on full size tables. The table kept getting pushed around and the pucks kept... read full review »

A steal!

My 6 year old loves to play air hockey. I saw this table while sears auto was installing new tires on my jeep and jumped on it right away... For 49.88 you can't go wrong...very easy to put together and the table plays well and fits nicely in the basement with my kids other stuff...Someone wrote that the puck sometimes gets stuck under the goal ..try spraying furniture polish on the puck as well as taking some polish on a cloth and carefully rubbing it in the goal crease....

good table for the price

We got this table on sale which made it a better deal. Would not have paid full price. This is a great table if you have some room but not a huge room for the full sized tables. Was easy to put together, a little too heavy to move though without my husband to help. Puck slides nicely and doesn't get stuck in corners because they have curved edges . The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5; sometimes the puck gets caught under the goal without going in and we wished the score keeper was tied into the on air system because the kids are still too short to turn on the score board but the air is turned... read full review »

Great for the price

Though our first one was damaged when received, its replacement has been a lot of fun. Definitely needs a coat of wax to get everything sliding better but works well and is small enough that it fits in our smaller room. My son (5) loves using it and the scoring makes him not cheat. I bought it at $170 then got it adjusted to $150 then again to $99 like the others. Also, my husband lost one of his tools in the leg while attaching it - perhaps a better method of attaching would be nice. Still, can't beat $100.

Really nice, quiet and fun

The Good: This went together well and is easily one of the coolest looking air hockey tables I've seen. It is very stable (I like the wide stance of the legs). The price was incredible (we got it for $99.99) and we've been happy with the Harvard brand Foosball table we also own. Also the kids seem very happy with it and have played quite a bit since we set it up. The Bad: Our oldest feels that the blower motor could be a bit more powerful. Our middle child noticed that the paddles seem to chip very easily. Our youngest would like it if the scoring feature had options for how many points equals... read full review »

Best as 1st AHT for <7 yrs old

Pucks are not arcade size (to be expected on a 6 ft table I guess). Blower could be 10-15% stronger - pucks scrape surface a little. Pucks seem a little too light. Will try the Pledge or wax thing but am leery of filling up the air holes - thinking maybe waxing the puck and making sure they are smooth on their contact points - that or figuring out some other substance to rub on the surface... ideas anyone? Since I bought this @ so discounted a price I can probably resell it if I don't break it in a couple years for about what I paid. The 6 ft table is a space saver and younger kids won't care -... read full review »

Best available at this price!

First I would like to say that PRICE is what led me to buy this table. I was not expecting it to do much for $50 but boy was I surprised. I bought it online 1 week prior to the Superbowl for my boys (ages 7 and 2) hoping they would have some fun during the game in case they or their friends got bored. Chose pick up at store. Item arrived within 3 days at the store and pick up was a breeze. In and out of the store in 10 minutes. VERY BIG box, so come prepared. It fit in my minivan perfectly. I set it up myself. Very easy set-up. Typical guy thing, I did not follow the directions and still managed... read full review »

Great Table. Lots of fun for the whole family.

After shopping around for a sturdy table, we chose this one and it has lived up to that standard. The assembly took me about 20 minutes (and that included carrying it upstairs) It's a big table but still fits in our sons room (they have bunk beds and a large ESPN multisport game (basketball, football, etc.) We enjoy family challenges each night before bedtime. The only complaint I have with this table is that the plastic coating around the legs is peeling back and has needed to be glue in a couple of different spots (no big thing)

4 stars

I really enjoyed this air hockey table, I definetely feel I got a good deal...the only thing that I'm not crazy about is the puck. For adults we tend to play harder and hit the puck harder so it's constantly falling on the floor. The puck is a little flimsy. I would just recommend for you to buy a sturdier puck. I would definetely recommend this game table to my friends.

Wonderful table for the price!

Got this for the kids for Christmas. They are loving it! Assembly was fairly easy, just bolt on the legs and the side plexiglass. A power-driver makes this much quicker. The surface is sturdy and, nice and flat. Puck action is great. Electronic scoring works better than I thought it would. Very consistent and accurate. Table is very stable. You would be hard pressed to beat this table in the $100 range.

Good table for price!

Got this unit on clearance for $50. Easy assembly - all parts fit together with no problems. Blower could be a little stronger for the air but overall a great buy for $50!

Great table for the $$$

I bought this table because of its low price and was concerned about quality until I got it home and started assembly. Great table for the price. Other than having to drill a few pilot holes, assembly was a snap. I highly recommend this very affordable table.

good for kids

Bought at discounted price. It was really easy to install with my kids. In half hour after I got it at home, my kids were able to play it with a great fun. I'm very satisfied. However, I don't think it is not worthy to pay in full list price.
