K-Max 60 Ball Collector Max | Ball Picker Upper for Tennis, Pickleball or Padel | Holds 60 Tennis Balls or Pickleball Balls

I purchased the Kollectaball K-Max 60 a month ago and have used it over a dozen times since then. I first decided to get this ingenious product when also purchasing a tennis ball machine with a 200+ ball capacity. This has been a great time (and back) saver that is quite easy, efficient and quiet to use in picking up balls.As others have said it is a bit tedious assembling but that is only a one-time 40-minute ordeal.I have found that when filled to the 60-ball capacity the K-Max 60 becomes a little hard to empty the first few balls. So I find it easier to pick up maybe 55 balls at a time before emptying into the bin of my ball machine.And I just discovered one unexpected benefit when picking up balls on a leafy and dusty court after a windy day. The process of rolling the balls into the Kollectaball tends to throw off some of the debris clinging to the balls. Nice.The K-Max 60 is short enough to fit either in my trunk, on my back seat or directly behind my front seats. So far it seems to be holding up well and I expect to have many years of trouble-free use.This product has exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to any tennis enthusiast considering this or a similar product.

Have had this since may of 2020 (now March 2021) and it has been well worth the cost. I do a lot of group classes (as a student) and this saves a lot of time in picking up balls so we can more time playing. I usually can do 2 pick ups to 1 for a normal hopper.While it probably does hold 60 balls it is best to only get it 3/4 full then empty as it makes it easier to get the balls out.Saw a comment that "The connection is incredibly weak. It almost certainly will give out after the first few uses". Not sure what connection they are referring to but in the 10 months of A LOT of use it has held up every time with zero issue.Yes the instructions are not really worth much but there is a video on how to assemble it and if you take it slow and make you are putting the right wire in the right slot it really is not that hard. If you do mess up and need to use the supplied tool to remove a wire be very careful using the tool cause it can break really easy.However once assembled it is great and works.

I have used this device 14 times in the period 8/5/20 - 9-16/20. It is (in my opinion) a vital component of any activity in which large-scale tennis ball collection is required. It picks up balls very easily until it is filled and empties balls very easily as well. It works just as well picking up balls with a backward motion as it does with a forward motion and picks them up on "off-center" approaches almost as well as centered strikes of the wire cage. There is virtually no extra force needed other than what is required to simply roll the device forward or backward. The most physically demanding aspect of using it is the act of emptying a full cage of balls.The only notable drawback I have noticed is that it won't pick up balls that are very near a fence or wall because of the size of the wire cage. This is effectively addressed by using your foot to roll those balls slightly away from the fence while you roll the cage over nearby balls. It works most efficiently by picking up balls in a series of straight lines to the extent possible. You will very quickly gain dexterity by using it.There a problem with the wire cage striking the bail when I first received it but the seller replaced the bail and solved the problem very quickly. It took me 2 hours and 40 minutes to assemble the device. I anticipated some assembly steps which turned out later to be wrong. If I had to do it over again, I'd guess I could easily do it in a half an hour.

The buttom line is five stars. It both reduces the time to collect balls and with much less effort.I do want to point out some things to consider:- Assembly - seriously? Haven't you read the reviews. How difficult it is to produce a dissent essembly video. The supplied video does match exactly the model. It's missing some steps, it's quick, thre is no narrative its just plain awful- it won't collect balls near the fence. You would need to push them with your leg first. No biggie.- when you need release the ball it can be heavy and you need to shake it to release the balls.Just my two cents.

Cons first:There were 3 totally different set of instructions included. The tiny pictures were hardly helpful in figuring out what they were actually trying to show.You need more tools than what is provided and shown. Screwdriver, 10mm sockets. and box wrench helps.The video links in the instructions show the cage already assembled, skipping half the assembly.You have to install each individual wire to each hub disc. (62 wires with 2 ends to connect.) It's a very tedious and annoying process. Not all the wires connect and will just fall out. I had to take a break just during this step. I ended up having to go without 3 wires because they wouldn't connect.I tried emailing the support people but the email address on one of the instruction sheets doesn't work, or actually exist.I should have just went to my local hardware store and picked up a nut harvester. It's the same thing minus the emptying mechanism. It also costs $75 less and is already put together.I would just return this stupid thing and do that but I finally got everything put together. Well, except for the 3 wires that won't connect to the 2 side hubs.Don't expect to pay more for better. This is just the same junk but just more expensive.Update: I bought this to pickup gumballs and seed pods falling off trees. This barely picks up anything. Most get tossed out as soon as something is picked up. Wasted money and time. Better off using a rake.Only Pros:The cage is very big and can fit a lot inside.The frame and handle feel sturdy.

Der Zusammenbau war etwas fummelig, hat aber funktioniert. Nach dem Spielen mit der Ballmaschine eine große Erleichterung. Das Ballsammeln geht deutlich schneller. Bislang auch keine Probleme mit Stabilität oder so.

The Kollectaball K-Max 60 definitely saves on backaches from constantly bending over and picking up balls one at a time! It has been a great time saver that is easy to use.I have to agree with the other reviews that the assembly instructions are poorly written, so went straight to the YouTube video on how to assemble. Followed it and assembly was quick and efficient.This product has met my expectations and I would recommend it to any pickleball enthusiast considering it.

Precedentemente perdevo 8 minuti a raccogliere 200 palline. Ora sto poco di meno, ma in compenso non m'affatico nel farlo. Io ho sia la versione da 40 e quella da 60 palline. Raccomando vivamente quella da 60: meno giri da dover fare, e per come è fatto, risulta più facile il processo di scaricamento delle palline. Nonostante sia elementare l'utilizzo, le prime volte devi prendere un po' la mano. Ho avuto un problema non imputabile alla azienda per il quale ho dovuto contattare il produttore. Customer Care: valutazione TOP.

Très efficace pour ramasser des balles de tennis.Je recommande

This product is amazing. The instructions point to a decent instruction video, although I think it would be good to display a warning to watch until the end before assembly. Also be careful when inserting the spokes as I put one in the wrong place and could not find a way to get it out.That said when assembled the product works really well. It is very easy to manoeuvre and collects balls better than I expected. This really saves a lot of time. I use it with a ball machine and it has literally halved the time to collect balls and my back is thanking me greatly.
