So much fun , innovative and nothing out there like it !!
I love this thing as much as my dogs and kids do!They have fun chasing discs in the metro parks here over and over. It’s fun for my to load the disc or the kids to try out as well. I love that it is rechargeable and I’m able to throw it in the back of my Jeep. The legs come off easily for transporting.Throwing a disc isn’t easy for everyone, this throws a consistent launch each time , which adjustable speeds!

Giant waste of money
Worked ok first dozen or so times but the discs are such low quality that the dog just retrieving the disc does enough damage to the disc that the thrower won’t throw it more than 10 feet. Also, the dogs slobber on the disc from retrieving it makes it so the thrower won’t throw it at all. So disappointed in this product. Way overpriced. POS!!

Buy this if your dog is high energy outside
The media could not be loaded. I bought this product to try a new way to play fetch with my dog. She instantly loved it - was chasing after the frisbee on every launch. For reference, on its max distance, it seems to send the frisbee around 70 feet. Highly recommend for anyone with a dog who loves to run.

Not Just for Dogs!
The media could not be loaded. This is fun for everyone! Dogs, kids and adults all loved this. This was the hit of the summer party! The motor is super quiet and the disk launches far and consistent.

Automatic launcher
Extremely disappointed with how far or should I say short this launcher launches. We can throw much further. Don't waste your money.

Legs
Well, assembly stinks. The pieces are not intricate. And there aren’t many of them. However the three plastic attachments that the legs go in need to be screwed in. The screws are unpleasant, short, and at terrible angles. Even with a longer drillbit in my Power drill, it was difficult. I tried to do it by hand with a manual screwdriver but that did not work well either. It’s a very difficult angle to align and the screws are short and blunt. All of that being said, if those three plastic attachments were on the device already then one would be simply attaching the metal legs. I really feel like for this price, it would be nice to have that already done or a different leg system altogether. But the legs are sturdy and metal. This is very important due to the weight of the machine. Once the legs have been attached, the disc flyer is very sturdy. The machine is heavy and sits well. It is made of high-quality materials.Operation is smooth. There is one dial that can be turned up or down depending on how far you want the frisbee to go. It starts the motor and it has a gentle whooshing sound. But only if your listening for it. The legs can be raised and lowered depending on the terrain. As far an angle goes, you simply set it up in the direction you want it to shoot out. The insert slot is large enough and easy to use. One single well made frisbee comes with it. A gentle push sends the frisbee into the motor and then the machine does the rest. It works extremely well. I tried pushing with less and more force to see if it changed anything. It does. Pushing with just a little more force actually helps it to go better. I wouldn’t say there is necessarily a right or wrong way to do it. Pushing the frisbee in it will fling out regardless. However even doing it a handful of times you learn how to get the best fling.Afterwards, cutting it off and removing the legs make it portable. The main unit is hefty. There is a handle to help with toting though. I am extremely pleased with the quality and my only complaint is the plastic leg braces. They are functional but difficult to install. My only other wish would be to perhaps have the legs fold somehow on the unit versus having to actually remove them each time for transport.

A Dog Park Hit!
Seems to be well-built and hardy. At the dog park, this attracted a lot of attention from humans and dogs. It is rechargeable, so you can take it anywhere. The setup is easy, but the device can easily be tipped over by dogs. Quite a few times we had to grab it as dogs rushed around and under it. It throws frisbees pretty much straight and 85 feet every time. That's good or bad depending on the dog. Some dogs just waited at the targeted area instead of chasing the frisbee. So, most of the dog chasers never got a chance to actually catch the frisbee.I tried it out with the one disc that came with it and also my regular frisbee 8.75" discs. I did take off one star because it only comes with one frisbee and other frisbees are hit or miss as to how well they will launch from this. For the price, it should come with multiple discs. Once a frisbee is pretty chewed (by dogs) or warped, it won't work as well. About 25% of the well-loved frisbees at the dog park would actually launch from the device. The ones that didn't launch as well did veer strangely or hit hard down on the ground, which could be a hazard. Plus, I don't love using hard plastic frisbees with my dogs, I prefer the soft nerf-type throwing discs. That is why I have to dock one star.Otherwise, this is a fun and well-built disc tosser. Be aware, that the 85-foot toss range is real. You need a LARGE space to use this. My small backyard didn't work, so I took it to the dog park. While many people were interested in the tosser, the price tag was a big turn-off.Hope you found this review helpful!
