andre: great for kids, fun and keeps kids active

Louise W.: We love the pitching machine, but when we were assembling it we notice there is a place for a plug-in adapter (not included). We searched on Amazon and Franklin Sports website and neither shows it available. On the instructions pamphlet it states: "This item has the ability to be powered by an adapter (sold separately)
Input: AC 120V/60HZ/100mA
Output: 6V/DC800mA

I would like to purchase this adapter if possible. Can someone please advise where I may order it
Thank you

ArubaDog: Was much easier to assemble then expected, took maybe 3-5 minutes. Worked much better than expected as well....has three angle settings and three speeds of which the high speed shots the balls so far its good for practicing catching as well as batting! I highly recommend it.

CNinja: The balls provided do not feed into the machine automatically. You must hand feed the balls into the machine which defeats the purpose. I ordered some heavier balls, hoping these will work. I will write another review when I try the heavier balls

Peter & Kelli: Good quality and fun for kids to play with outdoors

Amazon Customer: It works but a little noisy, great delay for anticipation for ball to release. It doesn't quite raise and lower as I thought, but it works

Adriana Baudry: I bought this for my nephew for his birthday. When I opened the box it did not come with the AC adaptor, no where in the product detail did it mention this or that it needed batteries. For the price it should come with everything needed to use right out the box

kathy finucan: Well worth the money. Bought this for my 6 year old grandson and he loves it. Uses it everyday. I also think my son get as much enjoyment out of it.

Wendy: Just received it yesterday and my son loves it. He uses it to practice catching and hitting.
We had previously purchased softer baseballs at Big 5 (about $15 for 6) so my son could practice catching without being afraid of the ball hitting him, and we discovered the balls are EXACTLY like the balls that come with this machine. They fit and work perfectly, so we were able to load it with about 9 or 10 balls each round. Only reason I did not include a 5th star is because it does not include the power adapter. My husband went to 3 stores to try to find one that would work, but no luck. Going to search for one on Amazon (just watched the video of the customer who has it connected to a power adapter).

Ryan G: Some pitches are variable and 4 balls is not enough and buying more is a bit of a headache. Device is great fun though
