Game hits any object and jams. Requires a restart after each basket. Not fun. I’m returning this item.

Dead on arrival. Like many of the other reviews on here it wouldn’t even turn on. This shouldn’t even be sold with this many bad reviews.

Bought this on sale even after reading the negative review. They were right. Totally doesn’t work. Turns on, talks and plays music and that’s it. Doesn’t keep score, doesn’t move around, nothing. Target was great about the return though.

Danielle - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
This toy is worthless unless you have an empty room or a big open space in a room. It goes in a big circle and just stops as soon as it hits anything. So, most of the time I'm having to pick it up and put it down for my son to make one shot, and then it hits a wall or some furniture. Also, one of the balls it comes with doesn't even fit through the little opening, so when he makes a basket it doesn't even count it. Very frustrating. Would not recommend.

Did not move at all even with brand new batteries and plenty of hardwood space. I tried Franklin website to see if maybe there was a trick to it but it did not even come up.

My kids love this! It works great and moves fast. Only thing is you need a pretty big space for it to circle because it can’t back up just circles one way, but they love it so far.

Casey - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
Garbage toy. Unless you have 10+ feet of open space on a completely smooth surface, it gets stuck and the wheels stop working. After getting stuck a couple of times it started making a terrible sound and now doesn’t work at all. Got maybe 10 minutes of fun out of it. Birthday boy was very disappointed.

Returning. The wheels don’t rotate so the hoop can only travel in one giant circle - but unless you have a ginormous room with no furniture in it, it just bangs into a piece of furniture or wall and then stops working. Literally couldn’t even use it once to play.

I held onto this basketball hoop for 8 months before gifting it to my son for his birthday. Sadly, it doesn’t keep score or move around like advertised and I missed the return window. 🤦🏻♀️

It worked for the first run or two. After that, it stopped rolling. You can hear the motor, and if you pick it up you can see the wheels turn (if you push in the 3rd wheel to activate it). But it’s like it can’t get traction or the motor weakened so it couldn’t move anymore. I tried new batteries, but the issue remained. I had to return it unfortunately. For a very short time, it was pretty cool and fun.

Unfortunately I should have read the reviews first. Cool idea, but does not work properly at all. If it runs into something it stops. It shuts off all the time doesn’t work like it says. Don’t buy.
