Review of Wilson portable tennis ball machine with 2 line and remote:

This is a very good machine, as good as you will find anywhere else. If you are thinking about buying a Tennis Ball Machine and live in the U.S., don't consider any other brand. It has all the features at a pretty reasonable price and is the only one backed by an extended warranty of up to 5 years. You can buy each additional year warranty after the first year for $40 per year. The Wilson machine is manufactured in the U.S. by Tennis Tutor, a reputed and experienced Tennis Ball Machine manufacturer. The quality is excellent. The 2 line and random oscillation feature and the remote are the best features. The smart charger is also a good feature. The drain on the battery doesn't change the performance of the machine unlike many others. The placement, speed and spin on the balls is always very consistent, the machine practically never misses one. It also doesn't jam. Brand new balls are not recommended, because wax and ink on new balls can build up on the throwing wheels. It is better to use slightly used ones. Very old ones can be a bit softer so discard the ones that don't have enough bounce in them. The Wilson machine can spin and speed tennis balls much harder than most humans, so you will find yourself using only 10 to 20% of the spinning and maybe 50 to 70% of the speed capability. The interval goes from one ball every 10 seconds to one per second which is a good range for any player level.

On the flip side, there are a few issues as well. Transporting the machine may be a problem since it a bit heavy and the handles are a bit low. Don't trust the very small and fragile wheels on the machine for transportation. The wheels quality can be improved.
