Air Hockey Table

Having read some reviews, I had pretty low expectations for his table. But we found it on sale for ~$400 and said, what the hell, let's add it to the game room. Delivery was great. It came 'mostly pre-assmebled' The kids love it. Yes, it could use more lift on the fans - but if your kids are 5-13y/o - this is great. The quality is good enough for the price. Particle board mostly. We had a problem with a sensor that would trigger a score when the puck hit the wall rather than going in the gate. That was a bummer - but I called a gal in indiana and she could not have been more helpful. My 5 stars goes 4 to the product and + 1 to the awesome customer service, who sent me new sensors and a new puck just for asking, and now the thing works perfectly after a minor fix. The kids play the hell out of this thing, and I gotta confess, I like it too :) If you can get this between 4-600 - dont think twice. its pretty good vaue and hours of fun. UPDATE May 2021 - We've had this 5 months now - One of the paddles broke, Posting this update for the exceptional customer service. New paddles and pucks on the way. This company could not be more friendly and helpful.

This air hockey table was fairly easy to set up, even for a woman senior citizen. The lights and auto scoring makes it feel more expensive than it is and our grandsons love playing it. The abacus scorer on each goal is in the way and both boys got scratches on their arms from reaching over it. The biggest problem, however, is shipping damage. It was dropped or slid on one corner so the plastic edging was broken. Some glue and tape fixed it because the thought of taking it apart and returning it was more than we could handle. Amazon came to the rescue and offered a discount option rather than a return! I think this product is well worth the cost even before the damage discount. Maybe beefed up packaging could reduce or eliminate shipping damage.

6 MONTH UPDATE: No more LED coolness. LED lights on table stopped working after 4 months. Switch on LED puck broke. Table still works and all other pieces still functional. Still a 4 star table, just slightly lower 4. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Coolness: 5/5. This table looks cool with the LED lights on the puck and paddles. The corners have LEDs that light up when a goal is made. Game play: 3.5/5. My biggest complaint about this table is the fan seems under-powered. The table feels slow. The table comes with 2 simple plastic pucks and an LED puck that is heavier. The air flow is too weak to keep the LED puck floating for long so after bouncing once or twice it just comes to a dead stop. The lighter pucks bounce and float better but still not as much as I'd like. Durability: 4/5. The table feels sturdy. The LED puck has a tiny switch to turn the lights on/off and it broke off within 2 days. Assembly: 4/5. Everything was in good condition and it took about 40m to assemble. The main hex bolts for the legs are easy to install. The small screws for the cross beams were a pain. The guide holes did not line up right so I just ignored them. If you have an electric screwdriver you can just spin the screws and they will eventually burrow their way in. Other: I'd also recommend buying an extension cord with a foot switch because the cord is short and there is no on/off switch. You can find one on Amazon for under $10.

I probably won't buy another product made by Triumph or any other brand owned by the parent company Escalade Sports (Gorilla, Silverback, Stiga, Lifeline, Arachnid...) again. The frame of the table was broken, the goal sensor needed to be replaced, and the LED puck is too heavy to glide. I had to explain to my kids that sometimes Santa makes a mistake. The Good: The dimensions were exactly what I wanted. I don't have room for an arcade sized table and didn't want a dinky toy sized table. The Bad: I bought this because of the light up paddles and puck for a room that is usually dark. The LED puck is too heavy to float and the red pucks are too hard to see with the lights down. If it had maybe 15% more power or if the LED puck was the same weight as the non-LED pucks then it would have worked out well. I may try putting a glow in the dark sticker on the red pucks or try to source a white puck with the correct dimensions and add a black light. Also the goals are less than twice the size of the paddles so the goal can be 100% defended by just parking the paddle in the middle of the goal (demonstrated in picture attached). Since my kids are smarter than the average chihuahua they figured this out pretty quick. The Ugly: When I opened the box to assemble the table on Christmas Eve I was disappointed to find part of the frame was crushed (demonstrated in picture attached). The box wasn't damaged and some other parts seemed off so my guess is this is more an issue with manufacturing than shipping. This was suppose to be the big gift for the family and doing a return on a 190lb item by mail seemed like too much hassle so I got out the wood glue and clamps and repaired it as best I could. Unfortunately that wasn't the only defect. We discovered on Christmas day that one of the sensors didn't always score when the puck went in the goal, but also would record a score incorrectly when the puck bounced off the side hard enough. I contacted Escalade Sports the parent company of Triumph by email to get replacement parts. It took a few days to get a reply and a couple weeks to actually get the parts, but I did eventually get what I needed and was able to replace the sensors and now the table works correctly.

We purchase two for our grandchildren good quality table for the price. It was disappointing that one came smashed but was able to contact the dealer to get a replacement part.

Stop working in 3 months no contact to get parts or repairs . THIS PRODUCT SUCKS STAY CLEAR

Muy padre juego, a mis hijos les encantó y no dejan de jugarlo. Es de muy buena calidad y está padre porque puedes estar recargando los pulsadores de hockey cuando se les acaba la pila.

Great entertainment for all ages.
