Tabletop robot, no ball return, apparently. A little more than $600 delivered.

As opposed to this, here's another table-top:

Same "Store", a lot cheaper ($275 delivered).

That's the basic model 540 Newgy, which is available in the US for $279. It doesn't have a ball return and only has control for ball speed and frequency. It doesn't have oscillation or any other controls. The one with ball return and computer control is $699 in the US. I have the computer controlled model without ball return (1050) that I got a few years ago on a special deal for under $300. The only thing that I don't like about my Newgy is the single wheel, which doesn't allow adjustment of spin. When using backspin, it is far more than I have ever seen from any player and not realistic.

That other model that you show looks interesting, although I've never seen it. It appears to have 2 wheels, which might make it possible to adjust amount of spin.

I did a ridiculously obsessive amount of research when I wanted a robot and it came down to either the Y&T 989E/A9 or the B3 plus a catch net. Ended up with the A9 but frankly the latter probably would've sufficed since I didn't end up using it much.

The B3 is about half that price in china which compares favorable to the Newgy on value. It has the benefit of 2 wheel + IR remote. It cost less than some fancy blades or ~two Tenergies so a no-brainer if you have a table at home or take it to the club for warmup.

The only review on the internet on some chinese forum seems favorable.
