Robo-Pong 2055 Digital Table Tennis Robot - Original Inventor 1972, 64 Pre-Programmed Drills, USA Designed Professional Training Machine with Net

This is my second Robopong. I had the 2050 for 7 years, and used it almost everyday. Eventually the motor got broken, and I decided to replace the whole thing.The 2055 is basically the same.There is one thing, though, that is different: the counter to select how many minutes (or #balls) you want to play is veeeeery slow. In the 2050 was fast like a lightning. So, you have to keep pressing for about 2 minutes to select 5 minutes of playing. The counter aspect is that, once you select a certain duration, it remains the same when the equipment is turned off (provided that it is not disconnected). Therefore, if you always play, let's say, series of 5 or 10 minutes, you spent that long time to select the duration only once. Other than that, it is great.The net and the plastic container in the back seem to be a bit more sturdy.

I have Parkinson and have read and show videos that say playing ping bong helps. It does seam to help. I don't have anyone to play with , if this quits working it will break my heart.

Easy to set up. Good quality. It is on expensive side. Height is not easy to adjust. The ping pong ball always fall off the net.

After reading many online reviews about a variety of robot manufacturers I settled on Newgy - and I’m thrilled that I did.The system worked great straight out of the box with minimal effort and very clear set up instructions. I had it up and running in less than 30 minutes and was practicing on a regular basis in my garage.There are 64 drills programmed into to the system and it appears they are incredibly accurate in how they place balls across the entire table service.I also found the company’s customer support to be excellent - answering my questions about the drills and helping me maximize my use of their robot.

The product was fine until it broke; eight months after it was purchased. I tried to contact Newgy support using the phone number provided on their website, and left messages since no human being was available on the phone. I've left three messages in eight days. NO ONE EVER RETURNS MY PHONE CALLS! Now I know that this Newgy is a company that doesn't care about customer service, and doesn't honor their warranty. I will never purchase from this company again. I will give a zero star rating if I could. Don't buy anything from Newgy.

What I like:I like the programmed drills but I think I can set it up manually (albeit everytime).What I don't like:1. Pricey compared to one in mind with a.) wireless remote b.) unload function2. The unload function does not completely empty the machine. How do you unload the balls if I'm using the wrong function?I have found a different brand about $300 less (more or less) with a.) wireless remote and b.) unload function which seems to unload the balls completely empty (at least in the little video clip that they show.)Returning it for the other brand I'm talking about.

Great product. Allows me to practice and also get my cardio. I little pricey, though. Have not started using the training modules yet. Will update this review when I get to that stage.The balls that came with the system has the white powder that we all TT players know on new balls. Though they were washed as directed, it is still there and the belt running inside of the unit is getting dirtier by the day. It has not begun to slip yet. But I plan on cleaning the belt soon, so to keep the original performance of the unit can be continued.

I have a Newgy Robo-Pong 1040 for 8 years and it is working well. I liked to upgrade it to a model that has ball recycling feature. After comparing several brands of this type for function and price, I finally decided to get the model 2055, still the Newgy which I have great trust on. I am happy for my choice. This model is just great! It functions very well, and it has so many settings available to beginners to skilled players, and plus 64 preset programs. I truly enjoy playing it and have a lot of fun, thank you so much Newgy!
