Customer Ratings & Reviews

Who knew I needed a smart hoop? I didn't. All the years of playing with hangers and rolled up paper are done but fondly remembered. This was easy to setup and get rolling. The apps that are ready to go are cool. Not mentioning them because they might change so I don't want to get anyone too excited to play ball in their room. The easy to read display is awesome. Being able to play against anyone anywhere is pretty sweet. I am thinking about getting one for my brother so that we can play together. He will kick my butt as usual but it will be fun. The sensors are pretty accurate as far as I can tell. I am the worst shooter ever so take it for what it is. All kinds of fun once everyone got used to the low ceilings in my room. Thinking about moving it to the garage where there is more room to skyhook on folks. I would definitely recommend picking up one of these if you have the discretionary funds to get it. You will have a blast with friends and strangers when you play online. I am a huge introvert so the offline feature was great for me. Go get it and have fun!!

I bought this on impulse for my grandson The display at Best Buy sold me on this item. Looked fun and interactive for a young kid Took it over to my daughters expecting that we would have to find a wall and drill to mount. Not needed! Included a door frame mount so that it can be moved around Unboxing was simple and set-up the same. Unpackage and assemble the mount and find your door This is where the fun began. The first shoot around was exciting as we discovered what it could do It knew where we were and assigned points based on the distance It kept score so that we did not have to Then we started streaming. Background music, ESPN games all added to the experience Later we tried the internet challenges with others that have the same unit and we were sold. Play against family not in the same place as long as they have a unit too is a game changer I initially bought this for my grandson, but now I realize that is is for the whole family (bonding over competition) Before you think the price seems high, realize what you are getting and the potential

This is definitely a cool toy! Great for kids and adults alike. Setup is easy, it only requires attaching the rim and door hangers to the backboard with the hardware and tools that are included. I finished it and had it hanging on a door in a matter of a few minutes. The ball needs to be pumped up, the pump and inflation needle are included. The unit doesn't come charged, and it took 5 1/2 hours to fully charge it. As an alternative to door hanging the unit can also be wall mounted. The screen is 19" and full HD, but because of the type of display panel used for the screen, the best picture quality is with the screen at or slightly above eye level. If the screen is much above eye level the picture appears very dark. So, if you wall mount it, it should be mounted at or only slightly above eye level for the person who would be using it the most. The unit has two 8-watt stereo speakers, one on either side of the screen, and the quality of the sound is good. When the unit is first turned on you have to create an account with an email before you can proceed. It will prompt for credit card information but that can be skipped as it is only required for the Daily Prize Challenge ($7.99 monthly). The regular game and the Battle Royale modes are free. Additional player profiles can be added, and it's easy to switch between the players. The unit is also a smart TV, with 12 preinstalled apps- YouTube, Spotify, Disney, TNT, Hulu, TBS, TruTV, CBS Sports, Prime Video, NBA, ESPN, Max and an HDMI port, so the streaming options are endless. The Quick Start Guide only explains what's in the box, how to assemble, and the remote-control buttons. There're no actual operating instructions other than cautioning against playing the game while it's charging. Once you've added one player profile you just have to explore the game options and figure them out, but it's all pretty straight forward. The game options are Battle City Royale (multiplayer online and offline), Daily Prize Challenge (most 3 pointers in a row for the day wins, typically a $100 cash payout), and offline single player Huupe. You can search player profiles online and invite and add friends to challenge or play together with as a team. There's also a Shop where you can buy swag for your avatar. If you've added a credit card to your account, you can buy "h-bucks" to shop with. In active play, the unit tracks shots and keeps score. It tallies both misses and points scored and keeps track for each player profile for a 24-hour period, then it resets. Points scored can be 1 point, 2 points, or 3 points depending on your distance from the basket. I found that anything closer than 6 feet is 1 point, from 6 feet up to 10 feet is 2 points and 10 feet and over is supposed to be 3 points but my setup didn't allow me to get that far from the basket. The tracking is done with lasers, not cameras and there is no camera at all on the unit so there is no privacy concern. It audibly announces the point(s) scored or a miss. The feature that I really like is the Overlay option where you can overlay the standard game on a streaming channel. I was able to stream a live NBA Knicks/Celtics playoff game while shooting baskets and having the game track and tally my shots. Play the game while watching a game! Great Fun! According to the info on the box a fully charged unit give 1-3 hours of play time. I got a little over 2 hours of playing time before it had to be recharged and that included an hour of streaming an NBA game while also intermittently having the overlay on and off. The entire unit is high quality heavy gauge plastic, and the door hangers and rim are heavy gauge steel. Even with children playing with it, it should last many years. The company does caution though, do not hang on the rim! Both ball and rim replacements are available on the Huupe website, as well as a wall mount. This gaming unit is a great entertainment alternative to standard gaming or idly scrolling web content, especially for (but not limited to) kids for the exercise they'll get. The Battle City Royale mode is great for competition between friends or family offline or online. The price is right in line with other gaming consoles, and you have the added benefit of unlimited streaming content options with built-in apps on an HD TV.

This basketball hoop serves well for the purpose of what it was meant to be. I think the screen has some good qualities. It has some good apps, shows the weather and gives me good sound quality when delivering the news. However, it does not function well as a outright TV. As a basketball hoop is pretty good, obviously don't try to dunk on it or the rim will break. Don't use any other basketball that it is intended to be used because then the screen will crack and then all you're just left with is an expensive door basketball hoop. This concept eludes me because it diverts the attention from two different methods of entertainment: One that requires you to sit and watch one that requires you to be active. I'm sure this will work well in a kids room or in a man cave type situation, but I don't personally have a need for this. The hoop is also touch screen which is cool, but I would have accepted a remote rather than to get up and change the input or app. I'm satisfied with the quality of the product, just not with the functionality.

Would recommend-what a cool, easy and fun gift!!!!

We bought this for two of our nephews. They can't stop playing on it. The instructions and set up are easy. Just charge with the USB cord and go. Not like other video games where they just veg out. This is keeping them active.

This Is The Best Mini Hoop Ever! Great Durability!
