Pros & Cons
Pros
The ipong sits on the ping pong table and sends servers across the table perfect almost every time. It goes through the balls pretty fast. They're thicker than the regular pingpong ball and the machine doesn't devour them.
It is an excellent robot for the money and it performs exactly as advertised. There are various limitations, but it does the job. Great entry price.
Spin and angle/strength are coupled. The remote cord is long enough to be close to you. It has a remote to adjust speed and curve.
Great for improving forehand and backhand push. Good for testing your chops. Lets me practice my shots and really get good!
This robot is good for a beginner to practice consistency of basic strokes. For a beginner player this is a great tool to practice strokes, and if you're creative you can come up with some footwork drills. You can tinker and tune my strokes.
Cons
This is only good for shooting ping pong balls at the family for fun. Sometimes it ejects two balls almost simultaneously and so weakly that they do not reach the bottom of the net. This *barely* spat out the balls.
Black-and-white leaflet provides sparse information about this pricey little toy. Easy to assemble, but as cheaply as it is made, i am not sure it will hold up. Poor quality construction make this a loser.
The power hole in the rear for the ac adapter even is not good and i have to have the cord just right to get the power to stay on. Frustrating to say the least.

Highlights
Quality
Simple to use and easy to assemble.
My forehand, backhand counterhits and loops improved quite well.
Fix: after every cycle when loading it press the disc down to make sure it's flush with the pinion.
2 wheels spinning one goes faster than the other to produce top or back spin.
Price
It is an excellent robot for the money and it performs exactly as advertised.
Ipong, has been well worth it the modest price.
00 i'd be upset, but for $80.
No not even close, but for the price it's as good as it's gonna get for $80.
Packaging/appearance
It's really easy to put together, 5 stars on packaging and assembly.
My first impression when unpacking the ipong was; it's really well made.
Competitiveness
Overall i think that joola has made many improvements on their ipong robots.
I would like to focus this review on what the ipong is and not try and compare it with other more expensive robots.
But if you think this is too much hassle, you'll need to buy something far more expensive.

Also you need to treat it with care as there a few parts which do not look like they would fare very well if handled roughly
