Black friday deal on TT robot

[RokosBasilisk]

​

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a TT robot for christmas for myself. The MOST my budget would be is <$500, there's a low end tt robot on amazon right now for 175 + a net, the 'zxmoto ping pong robot machine with 36 different spin balls'.
is the low end zxmoto worth getting? does anyone know how it compares to the brands in the 300-500 range?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Hope this is not to be too blunt. But I'm wondering if you would love to give a try on our NOVA S PRO?

Not to blunt at all! That's kind of what I was asking the forum really, is if the cheaper zxmoto is worth the savings, or if I should just jump up to the 300-500 range like the pongbot or suz s201. I know pongbotstore is probably going to be a little biased, just figured I'd see if anyone has product reviews on the alternatives, or if they can point out why the 400-500 range is better than the lower model etc

@pongbotstore
I am in fact going to go with the pongbot, I wanted to share a post (i made this post on the reddit thread as well), someone gave a very nice breakdown of why they prefer the pongbot, and I thought you should hear it/have talking points for future inquiries.

"I have to mention that I have not recieved my Pongbot yet but i did research a couple a days ago before ordering it.

My current robot is a HP-07 which is very similar to S201.

The big difference with pongbot is that you can program drills with an app. For example a Falkenberg drill. Look at this video

The best S201 can do is to oscillate side to side and shot balls at a set frequenzy.
Also pongbot can switch between top spin and underspin in the same drill. Which is not the case for S201.

The most annyoing thing with my current robot is that the height-angle of the head is adjusted manually. But with pongbot that is a adjusted with the controller or app. It can be set within the drill. But cannot programmed to move up or down between balls in a drill.

Sidespin is only adjustmed manually by rotating the head by hand, both for S201 and pongbot Nova S Pro. Not a big deal for me.

When you program a custom drill with pongbot it illustrates in the app where the ball will bounce, on your side or on both sides if you want to practice serve return."
