$710 on Amazon. Free shipping with prime (FSSS) probably available too)

I'll try and find a manual in a few minutes.
ThunderThighs please pass the message. Model Numbers are VERY helpful when finding Manuals. I literally had 10 manuals I had to load and I'm still not even 100% sure on this one


Here is what I'm pretty sure Is the manual

Of course you will!!! and i will dig up that story from yesterday that i promised!

Been looking for an air hockey table....good quality....full size...unfamiliar with this one....fellow, Wooters, what are the pros and cons of this one?

Would this be out of place in an open office environment? Too much click, clack, and cuss words?

So, speaking of Woot SPORTsmanship:
I never really check my private messages because, well, i don't get any. But yesterday, I checked them and i had a new one.

Apparently, i was a little snarky on a discussion on or about July 1st. You know how when someone complains about the shipping, or it's a woot-off and it's a horrible item, but you try to tell them to buy three (to mediate the shipping costs, or to move on in a woot-off) . . . Well, i must've done something like that. (SURPRISE!!!)
Unfortunately, I share my given name with the descriptor of a woot employee, and i REALLY pissed someone off and received this message:
"Bad Answer
Your solution to me paying more is to ask me to buy more stuff? I was not planning on canceling my order, but after that bad response I will. You need a customer service 101 class. Please have a supervisor contact me. "

So, Ummm, I pissed someone off, Made him furious with woot, and caused him to cancel his order!!!!

And, it would not be so funny if it was July 2nd, but to find this out three weeks out . . . What do i do now:

1. Reply to him, apologizing and begging for forgiveness

2. Pass the email onto TT and let her handle it

3. Both

4. Ignore it.

Let's take a poll.

I'm gonna have to go with ThunderThighs, It's too late for woot to really do anything now. You could apologize and say you're not woot but i doubt they'd even see the message unless you sent it to them in a PM and even then it might take a while for them to notice.

Who did they mistake you for anyways?

Don't know about cussing (that's worker-dependent), but I sure as crap would NOT want to work near an air hockey table. Well-made ones are LOUD. There are a few factors in play - only two of which are the table's "fault."

The blower for the table needs to be powerful to create the right air cushion for good play. With airflow comes noise. The other aspect is the side rails - all good tables that I've played on are aluminum. The puck clacks when it hits.

The other factors are mallet (the handle thing you hold) and puck - both should be very thick plastic. This makes noise as well.

My parents have a 1970s-era arcade-quality table in their basement, I've spent many hours on it, voice of experience here.

[edit]
After reading through the manual - this is pretty cruddy. In my experience, any mallet that uses a felt pad is trash. They use these so they don't scrape the playfield, and this is necessary because the fan on the unit is probably too weak to put out enough cushion for a good mallet. The mallets on my parents' table weigh a good pound or two each and are nearly solid plastic (I suspect PVC). Without any felt, they still float on the table a bit, because it has a robust blower. The puck alone probably weighs about 1/4 pound; this thing definitely will not.

If the blower isn't too weak you could upgrade puck and mallets, but with a weak blower this will be futile.

This table is also smaller than "regulation":

The cheapest price I found online is $618 at All Court Sports. This is a good deal. I can't speak to the quality of the table, but it looks nice in pictures, and Escalade Sports is a reputable name. However, I am hesitant to purchase anything with less than a one year warranty.

I'd vote for:

5. Equally snarky reply re: get edumacted on the intertubes and quit assuming that handles & names = who they THINK it is. And stick to buying things on AOL...

for some reason it seems like pucks would just fly off this thing, any one have any feedback on this one?

Ouch, I hope woot is selling this for someone else. 5 sold in an entire day. That is pretty brutal.

If woot is stocking these I would like one in my next Brigade of Campers please!
