best so far
This is my 4th ball thrower and it's the best so far. Unfortunately my only complaint is finding the right size of balls it takes the smallest size balls out of all of them did I have tried. My dog loves it She dances every morning when we go out and play with it.

However the balls were easily broken because she likes to chew on them
I kept waiting to see a review before I bought it but finally when ahead and purchased. These tennis balls are very small. Our dog is an Australian Shepherd 45 pounds And the balls are a bit small for her. I bought it because she likes to play with the small tennis balls but these are extremely small. I don't think she'll choke and I think they'll be OK but I wish the balls were a little bigger. However the balls were easily broken because she likes to chew on them. I am going to see if I can find some in this size that might be a bit stronger. The machine seems to work well. It jammed once or twice but very easy to unclog. The opening is large and easy for the dog to drop the ball in which is one of the reasons I picked this model. The other model with the bigger tennis balls would've been better but I really wasn't willing to spend $200. Overall it seems to work well but is likely better for a small dog. I wish they had put what sized dog it is recommended for in the description.

Works, but doesn't replace the human interaction element - Overpriced, Noisy.
We have a fetch-obsessed 14 lb dog who is relentless with her requests to play. While this is generally cute, it gets old... which is why we actually wasted $115 on this machine. The pros: the machine has a small form factor and is easy to operate. The balls were the perfect size for our little dog. There are several different settings and options for launch distance, and the launcher works reliably. The cons: It's noisy and takes a moment or two between the ball being dropped in and the ball being launched. It produces a loud droning noise as it warms up, emits a loud beep before it fires, and then the sound of the ball being launched. The first two sounds scared our dog for quite some time. When she'd hear the first two sounds, she'd run away to safe place like the stairs and wait until the ball had been launched. While she was still eager to chase down any ball that had been launched, she had zero interest getting close enough to the machine to drop the ball in herself, which is, of course, the entire point of this device. After a LOT of treats and clicker-training, we finally taught her to drop the ball in and be less scared of the boot up & beep. It's probably worth noting that our dog already knew the command, "Put your toy in the basket", which made this training process easier. I'm not sure we would have been able to get these results if she hadn't already known those basic commands. After we successfully trained her how and desensitized her from the noise, our dog still lacked interest in playing by herself. We've left this plugged into a long hall in our house for months, even with balls perched on the edge of the machine basket, hoping that she'd eventually tap one in and find he process fun, but... NO. She's well aware of what the machine does, and will happily run down the hall and WAIT for the ball when she hears the machine boot up, but what we've come to learn is that while the machine mimics the act of throwing a ball, it cannot replace the interaction you have with your dog. In our case, our dog cares more about playing with us than she does playing fetch, so this was an expensive lesson and waste of money. And to make sure we learned it, our dog actually chewed up the original box, so we couldn't return it either!

Worth it!
The media could not be loaded. Great product so far! We have had it for a few weeks now. We have an Australian Shepard with endless energy. He’s a good boy and caught on super fast within minutes of learning how to drop the ball in himself.Only issue is with our dog not the launcher. He tries to catch it coming out of the launcher. I don’t know why he likes getting pegged in the face with a tennis ball. To each their own I guess.Also he’s a mega chewer. He can dissect a tennis ball in a messily 3seconds. We might even have a world record holder under our household without even knowing it. Heads up if your pooch is like my pooch go ahead and save the headache later down the road and buy a ton of balls.As soon as a ball is broken that baby ain’t goin’ nowhere and your trying to fish it out of the launcher like you’ve stuck your fingers in Chinese finger-cuffs.P.s. it took me 5 minutes to get a video of him not getting pegged in the face (to show the longest distance of the launcher). I would have uploaded that also but Amazon’s rules. 🤷♂️P.S.S. I know my grass needs cutting but my mower broke. Sue me.

Stopped working
Had the product for about a year and then it basically broke and only shoots the ball a foot or so. Kind of expensive to last for such a short amount of time and then break to the point of being almost useless. Very disappointing.

This is a fun toy for the dogs
I really liked it a lot which is why I gave it five stars. However I had to return it because it says it was from medium to small size dogs and I have mini Australian shepherds but it’s really just for small dogs Considering the size of the ball. When I make a circle with my thumb and first finger the ball will fit inside of it just perfectly definitely a small dogs mouth and absolutely not for a medium size dog that is a heavy chewer.

Ball replacement too expensive for such flimsy balls
Machine worked ok for the short time I had it...balls DID NOT LAST AT ALL and too expensive to replace!

Favorite Dog Toy for over 2 years
The media could not be loaded. My dogs’ favorite toy for over 2 years. Overall, it is durable and well built. Unfortunately, the battery has started to die so I will soon need a replacement machine.My only complaint are the balls. The machine uses a special ball size so other balls will not work and the cost of replacement balls is RIDICULOUS with slow shipping.

The battery lasts for just a few throws.
Fully charged battery is good for about 20 throw’s so it’s completely useless for taking it out somewhere if there is no plug-in like the beach or camping. It does work good except for the settings where sometimes it seems like they’re all the same. But it seems heavy duty, and it works even full of sand and dirt seems to run the same be built well overall.

Se atoran las bolas kong
El producto está muy bien. No he usado el control remoto ni leído las instrucciones. A mi pastor Aleman le gusto. Las bolas con las que venia le duraron menos de 15 min cada una. Compre unas kong rojas pero la mitad de las veces se atoran y no salen. Creo que a la palanca le falta fuerza para esas bolas.

balles de très mauvaise qualité
balles de très mauvaise qualité, se coupent en deux dès que le chien l'attrape , et une fois que le chien à baver sur la balle des poils se détachent , se coincent dans la machine et la bloque

Love this product!
I love this product and my dog has almost figured out how to use it on his own.

Fast delivery and item as expected.
This is a superb item, my two little dogs took to it straightaway, I thought the whirling sound of the mechanism may deter them, but instead it excites them in anticipation of the ball being released. I'd recommend this for all small dogs who are fetch/ ball orientated. My only gripe is the tiny 4cm tennis balls are easily chewed, however I've discovered more solid balls that work better and last.
