Summary: Good product for value, but what's with the elk head?
Comment: I bought one of these a year ago, and had a heck of a time with Halex service to replace it. A buddy suggested that we had clearly used it enough to pay for a new one, so I did. Haven't even plugged it in yet, but thought I'd let people know this one came with an elk head on the front panels, over the wood veneer. Actually looks cool, but not advertised as such.
If this one lasts a year with the pounding I gave it, fine with me. When it's working, it's a killer app - pretty good play with automatic scoring.

Summary: did not work! get a real bristle board and keep score with a laptop
Comment: I spent a long time looking into electronic dartboards, and this one looked great online, especially with it's nice looking cabinet, bristle targets, and large cricket scoreboard. However, when I got it, half of the board did not keep score, even if I pushed it with my finger. I was almost glad that I had an excuse to return it because it was very very heavy (difficult to hang), and the cabinet wasn't actually that nice (poor hinges and misaligned). Amazon was very good about returning the item. After this whole experience, I realize that a real bristle board is much much better.
If you want electronic scoring, get the kind for plastic tip darts (with the little holes). Bristle boards naturally wear out and need rotation and eventual replacement, neither of which are feasible with this all-in-one product. I am very happy that I instead got a DMI Bandit II bristle dartboard (very long lasting with razor thin wire) and DMI backboard, leaving me money for some nice tungsten darts. For scoring, download the free Darts Scorekeeper software to your laptop. This way, you can combine the best of both worlds -- professional grade equipment and not having to add numbers in your head! This is by far the best way to go if you want to play at all competitively - learn from my experience!

Summary: Such a disappointment
Comment: I bought this dartboard hoping it would give me the flexibility to use both soft tips and steel tip, but found that I can't use either. The darts don't stay in like they are supposed to.
The screws that held one of the doors in place has been stripped out and will not stay in place.
The top half of the dartboard is intermittent in its scoring. When it doesn't score you can press the scoring pads, but sometimes that doesn't even work.
It cost $60 to have this sent to me and it is going to cost another $60 to send it back. With the money spent in shipping alone I could have bought a descent board that actually worked.
If you have a camcorder you can watch your shots as an instant replay so you can see what you hit. Then you can keep score the old fashioned way on a seperate piece of paper. I think that is the best way this dartboard can be enjoyed.
Enjoy your purchase of another product. Do not buy this one.

Summary: Broken upon arrival
Comment: I ordered this dartboard thinking wow, looks like some great technology. Only I never got to experience the joy of throwing, because it was broken when I opened the package. There was a dent in the wooden cabinet, a seem on the cabinet was splitting apart, and the dartboard itself had a broken plastic piece. Overall not pleased, but can't speak for the play of the dartboard itself. When bought from Amazon, the package comes in its original box, thus not protecting the item whatsoever while being shipped.

Summary: Great Family Fun
Comment: I received this board for Christmas. My family and friends have a good time with this board. The volume levels are great for any circumstance. My son enjoys being heckled by the game. I like the fact that there is a large score board that is easy to view from across the room. Overall it is a good non-competition board for the family to enjoy.
