Franklin Pet Supply Co.Ready Set Fetch Automatic Tennis Ball Launcher Dog Toy - Authentic Tennis Ball Launcher - Interactive Toy

East we found was the humming puts our dog off from actually approaching the launcher, but if your dog isn't wound up by hoovers, you should be ok. Bear in mind, the condition of the ball will determine the distance and angle of the ball, as you can see on the video. Whereas the weight of the ball will determine the distance, outside of the launch speed and angle of the unit. Although not the distance launcher I was hoping for, it does get to the bottom of my small yard which is around 14meters from launcher to wall. Another point was that my unit came with an American plug, not a problem for me, but it is something buyer's should be mindful of. Lastly, the hopper is quite big, but not convinced it is for stacking more than one ball, as more than one has the potential to get stuck, this could be solved had the tray design incorporated a sorting aspect. That said, we have had a total of 14 balls in the hopper comfortably. When multiple balls are in the hopper, there is a potential for the launcher to launch more than one ball. We found this was down to weight and size of the ball. Lastly, the 'beep' that sounds before the ball is launched is not loud enough when the launcher is on its highest setting, as the sound of the motor drowns it out. It stops working altogether if you are feeding snobbery balls back into the launcher. A good indication of snobbery balls, is when the launch angle/distance drops.

Very good standard tennis ball machine. Unfortunately the plug was a two pin so it wasn’t suitable for use here. It looked very good from the video on the description page and will be great fun for dogs. However we couldn’t use it and it was returned.

They are straight up lying in the product description. I now see other people saying the same thing. 40’ distance!? It MAYBE pathetically lobs the ball 10-15’. I don’t mind the sound so much but it is loud. For how loud it is you’d think it was going to shoot the ball 80’. I’ve made a lot of purchases on Amazon and this one is my #1 most disappointing purchase. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Dog loves it

The machine itself works just as it should! It is easy to use - you or the pup are simply supposed to put the ball in the top "hopper" & it shoots it out. It has "legs" underneath so you can adjust the pitch of the throw. It is louder but not obnoxious, totally tolerable! My 1 year old dog is OBSESSSED with playing ball so we bought this hoping he would learn to play ball with himself after we are done for the day (because he is NEVER done!). Sadly, he doesn't feel he should be the one to put the ball back into the hopper for a new pitch & feels he is above that & that his humans should serve him. Good product for normal dogs, not ones like my entitled boy lol.
