This is a follow up review, now that we've had the Franklin pitching machine for 6 weeks. Still working great. Dog loves it but he did destroy the original balls within 2 days. I ordered the Jugs poly balls and they are holding up well. Changed batteries every 3 weeks. I did need to modify the pitching machine for a dog. I only added the bottom piece of the ball chute, making it easier for the dog to drop in balls. Also mounted a piece of wood under the back side so the balls stayed closer to the floor. First pitch hit a China hutch...fortunately the glass didn't break. Well worth the money to keep an active dog busy thru a wisconsin winterWe've had the franklin pitching machine 24 hours and its still working which is good! We got it to help burn Boston Terrier energy, and so far, it's ok. He loves to chase the balls, but also loves to bite them on the way back, so by last night all 6 balls were crushed and in the trash. Today, I went to empty the trash and found all of them were fine. Now I know to let them sit for a while and they seem to recover nicely. I assume this is only temporary and eventually he will truly destroy them, so I've ordered the stronger balls that were recommended by another poster. When those arrive, I'm going to hopefully get him trained to put the balls in the opening of the pitching machine. I've actually skipped installing the blue chute, since it's not necessary for my use.If anyone else out there has trained their dog to put the balls back in the pitching machine, please share! Any suggestions that would help me with this training? My dog has proven to be incredibly smart about most things, and he loves to drop balls into laundry baskets, waste baskets, whatever is available, so I'm hoping he will catch onto dropping it into the launcher too. But then again, he's proven that he can be pretty stupid at times too!Also, I duct-taped a small piece of wood to the bottom back side of the launcher so the balls don't fly so high. I have a vaulted ceiling in a great room, so I have plenty of space to use the pitching machine indoors, but one of the balls slammed into the glass on my china hutch. Fortunately, it didn't do any damage, but I figured that keeping the balls closer to the floor was better idea.

1.0 out of 5 stars *DO NOT WASTE MONEY, ITEM CLEARLY USED AND DEFECTIVE*
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021
Bought this item as a present for a 8 year old starting to get into baseball. Unfortunately, he was disappointed and so was I.
Pros: I always try to find a bright side to things but unfortunately this item was not as described. The only easy part was it was easy to assemble, did not even have to read instructions. Needed 4 D batteries and then started to slowly run.
Cons: First of all, the item came very jumbled in the box. No packaging and just the amazon package which caused all the pieces to be thrown around and bent as seen in the picture above. The item has very clearly been USED. The MLB stickers had been peeled off and stuck back on, the plastic was starting to peel, the battery compartment came half off with one of the screws not even tightened. The red light does not work as described and only is on when there are no balls in the spiral. I would say 3/10 of the pitches are able to be hit when it is at the highest incline. The first 2 pitches whenever you start the machine up come out very slow and low. Takes a while for the gears to run and as soon as it does it is out of balls and the wheels shut off which only leads to my son hitting it maybe three times before having to gather all the balls up and restart the process.
I did get this item for $28 when I think it is listed at $50 but I expected the item to be brand new when it was clearly not. Very upset but will keep because I let my son open it out of the box so I can not rip away his birthday present now. He is entertained but I am very disappointed with the quality of the purchase. If I had to do it again I would not buy this item. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
