Affordable robots? Worth it?

[Crewdy]

Are any of the more affordable robots £400 or less worth it for at home training? Any recommendations?

Looking for consistent ball feed with backspin etc not so much bothered about footwork.

Lots of choice on Amazon but they all look like the come from the same factory with different branding printed on them.

Thank you

I bought this one from Ali Express about a year ago and it has been very good indeed - easy to adjust and decent back/top/side spin. Not programmable but I have found it really useful as a practice partner.

The Joola Ipong V300. Its very good with its moving features and can be moved around on the table. Very good cheap compared to other robots.

+1 for ipong v300. Doesn't jam and has good backspin.

I have the tibhar junior pro. It is like 230-250 bucks. I think it is decent, reviews are better than the Joola 300 but it can't do sidespin, serve and programmable sequences.

There are many variants of this robot, and I have one to complement my Amicus Prime. It can be moved all over, I even have a stand to allow me to control its height. It can also be aimed up and down, so you can shoot balls up from below the table or shoot it down from well above the table.
