Before even using it, it’s compact, doesn’t weigh too much and is easy to carry and move with the two built in handles.
My practice room is 22’ x 14’ and with a net in the middle so I put my machine in a stand 3’ of the ground and have it drive the balls at me. Speed 5/10 is nearly as fast as anyone in real life drives them at me.
The oscillation is nice. Adjusting the spacing between ball’s is simple.
Only thing to know : even if you turn the power off, the oscillation will continue unless you specifically turn that off too. Our local club has one of these and prime turn off the power and leave and then the battery days since they leave the oscillation on.
Overall it’s solid and worth the $ compared to the alternatives.
I really like the Tutor Mini. Solid, well-made machine. Very simple to set up and use and very consistent throws. It is also easy to transport in my car and carry to the court. Pickleball Superstore was great to deal with. The machine arrived by courier earlier than promised! Thanks for the great service.
The Pickleball Tutor Mini arrived when estimated and although I’ve only used it once it seems to work as advertised. When I called with questions about shipping they were helpful. My only issue is that I paid extra charge to have it sent by UPS but it arrived with Purolator Courier. Thus I paid more for shipping than I should have.
Ordered the mini for my pickleball addicted wife as a starter machine to see if it could keep up to her. Of course I placed the order just as Canada Post decided to hold the country ransom. Leila from pickleballsuperstore in Toronto made the process of switching shipping from Canada Post to Purolator in the middle of shipping effortless. Her apologies for things beyond her control were appreciated but unnecessary.
The quality of the Mini build is excellent, and minimalistic with nothing extra that does not contribute to the operation. The layout and function of all the controls is easy to understand, even without reading the manual. The only thing I wish for is the option to connect an auxiliary battery to the mini to extend the run time.
I had received my mini two weeks ago and I love it! The speed is more than adequate, level seven of 10 seems to be ideal for speed. The delivery times are easily adjustable as is the elevation. You could easily manufacture a makeshift hopper to feed more balls if you need to but as it is 50 balls is perfect. I haven’t ran out of battery time yet and have taken it out for more than two hours at a time on a few occasions. I have oscillation as well, which I like. It meets all of my needs without a doubt.
