Hathaway Air Hockey Table for Kids and Adults

My family and I have used this table for a couple of months and have enjoyed it a ton. Thus far, it seems well made and sturdy. I wanted a "real" table (or at least as real as I could afford) and have been happy so far. There are some dead spots around the sides (which other reviews mentioned) and the blower could probably be a bit more powerful but overall, I'm very pleased with the table. However, I will say, even after reading a ton of reviews prior to the purchase, I did not actually get that the pucks for this table are 3" and not standard sized. I read a lot of reviews talking about how light weight the pucks are and that they fly off the table (they do). I just assumed that I would buy some better pucks and call it good. Standard sized pucks are 3.25" or 2.5". A table of this size would typically take a 3.25" puck. The 2.5" ones are for the kiddo toy tables. This table, however takes a 3" puck. I bought some heavier weight 3.25" and they fly around the table a whole lot better since they're not constantly flying off the table buuuuut.. they don't fit in the goal. I did a lot of searching for 3" pucks but the cheapy light weight ones made by Hathaway seem to be the only ones. I ended up having to order heavier small pucks made for toy tables which just seems wrong. Sometimes we use the lightweight ones that came with the table and just chase them all over the playroom. Not sure why Hathaway decided to make a table that takes a non-standard sized puck. The least they could do is sell good ones that were also 3" but they don't. And although this is not at all a reflection on the table or the fault of the mfr, I wish I would have had info about how the delivery went prior to the purchase. This was a Christmas present, not to be seen by the kids. At checkout, I was asked to pick a very specific delivery time approximately 3 weeks out (no times available on weekends, so had to make arrangements due to work). I also chose to spend extra money to have the table delivered to "my room of choice" since I knew it was not something I would be able to move easily. 2 and 1/2 weeks early, I received a message from the small company that had been contracted by DHL, that they had tried to deliver the table but were not able to due to no one being home to deliver it. A lot of scrambling and I made arrangements for early the next week (still 2 weeks early). I had spoken to the dispatcher of the company to ensure they were aware that I had paid an extra fee to have the table delivered to my "room of choice" and was assured this was not a problem. Only one person arrived to deliver a 8 foot by 5 foot 250 lb package with a handtruck. Due to the size and weight, he could not make it over a 1/2" lip into the garage (straight shot otherwise) and dumped it in my driveway. Mind you, my "room of choice" could have been up or downstairs or around corners but wasn't, it was "can you take it down the driveway into the garage" with no turns. I had to rely on friends to help me move it and was extremely glad that nothing was broken due to the ineptness of the driver. Amazon was more than helpful and refunded some of my money. The delivery was B.S. though and I want to make sure that others know that drivers may not be aware of delivery instructions or be in any way prepared to fulfill them. There was no way that one dude with a handtruck could have effectively moved a box this large and heavy by himself.

Good quality for the price!

This is a very heavy table. We had to assemble this in and upstairs play room so consider that if you are buying. It is definitely a two person job to move this around. It seems well made and we had no issues with ours. The other reviews mentioned damaged box on delivery and that made us hesitant to purchase with this being such a big, heavy item. But, ours was ok. This took a little more then an hour to assemble and had no issues there. So far it has worked great. It has speakers that play music and announce time etc. This is a little loud and has no volume control. Fan works well and has air coverage very evenly on table. We saw similar looking and similar sized air hockey table at Costco after we had made our purchase and it was $200 cheaper. But, this seemed like a sturdier, heavier duty table than that one. Overall we are pleased.

Had this when I was a child and felt my grandkids should have it too!

We've had this table since Christmas and it works great. It was fairly straightforward to put together, and worked right away. The electronic scoring is a little sensitive so it will occasionally record a goal when there wasn't one, and it you hit the puck right below the scoreboard it occasionally shuts off. You can always manually score easily though! My kids (7, 6, and 4). have been very happy and play often! The adults have fun too - pretty good size. Great for the $

Difficult to assemble and very heavy. Looks great. First one came completely destroyed top and Amazon replaced. Second came, I assembled then the scoring mechanism went out within a week. I purchased the Asurian warranty, however they will not touch it until the manufacturer’s warranty expires after 6 months! Looks like Amazon will replace one more time and I will need to assemble it again. Do not buy this piece of junk! Beautiful table but does not function.

This item is decent. Setup is easy. Playing is easy. The air flow is weak. I’ve had it for 3 months and we don’t really use it that often. It’s already wobbly. In order to use it, it has to be near an outlet, making placement a little more challenging.

Easy to put together, great size for the price and fun to play.

Well put together product.

La livraison s'est effectuée dans les délais prévus. Le produit était bien emballé de telle sorte qu'il est arrivé sans la moindre égratignure. L'assemblage est facile et rapide (soyez prudent lors de la mise en place de l'assemblage des détecteurs de but par contre, ils sont plutôt sensibles et fragiles). Une fois assemblé, le produit est solide et stable. Et tout fonctionne à merveille.

Nice size and fits in the hands perfect. A+

It’s too small
