Pros
ConsThe details
While some people want to build complete game rooms with full-sized air hockey tables, others just need a compact and simple option to keep the kids entertained. And with this model, you can do just that. It sports a great classic hockey design and features just about everything you’ll need from a functioning air hockey table!
Features
Since this is one of the smallest functioning air hockey tables out there, it doesn’t come with a lot of extra features. One of the primairy features, however, is the built in fan and motor. There are many portable air hockey tables out there that simply forget about the fan entirely, which leaves much to be desired in terms of gameplay. However, the fan of this table is just strong enough to lift up the air hockey puck, making for a seamless gameplay experience.
Aside from the classic hockey rink design, this table also has a built-in abacus scorer. While it isn’t LED or as modern as other options on the market, it is very simple and easy to use. And with the scorer, you’ll never have debates on who actually won the game ever again!
Durability
Sadly, this isn’t the most durable option out there. Since it’s affordable and compact, the manufacturers weren’t able to put in enough features to make it last you years on end. However, with enough care, this table can last you a fair amount of time. However, we highly recommend taking extra care when traveling with this table to keep it from bumping other things and getting damaged in the process.
Ease of use
Without a doubt, this is a very simple machine. And with that comes a very simple setup process. In fact, all you have to do to start playing with this table is put it on a tabletop and plug it in! And since it uses a very simple abacus scorer, you won’t have to do any calibrations or press any buttons to keep score accurately.
Value for money
This table offers great value for the money. Since it’s very small and compact, it’s available at a relatively low price. However, keep in mind that there are some sacrifices you have to make with this option. It’s very small, so doubles isn’t an option. Additionally, since this is designed for kids, you may miss out on some of the advanced features you get with more expensive, full-size options.
Final verdict
This is one of the best portable sources of entertainment out there. All you have to do to play air hockey with this table is plug it in. This makes it a great choice for families on the road a lot, since your kids will never get bored whenever you’re on a family trip or vacation!
