It's a good product for the price forsure bcuz other hoppers cost way to much and this one keeps up
but the only bad thing is u can't over fill with paintballs bcuz then it won't spin it won't work you have to leave some room so the rotor can spin that's the only bad thing

good hopper i got a spyder electra 09 that shoots up to 25 bps and it keeps up good and very quite and nice feature of dp sound activated

I use this with my Spyder 09' Pilot with Eyes and have to say that it handles the 25 bps rate with no problems at all. I do not know if having an anti-chop mechanism with affect it's performance, but I am very happy with this hopper. Especially for the price. It has three dip switch selectable modes of Slow, Medium, ad fast. Fast handle the 25 bps just fine. Medium works great for semi also.

My only gripe is that it does not seem to want to work that great with a standard 9V batteries. I picked up some industrial 9V batteries (I think it is 9.6V) and it works perfectly. The Spyder 9.6 works great in it too.

A Solid electric hopper for the price.

PROS: It's electric (boggie woggie woggie), already a huge upgrade from gravity feed. Battery life seems to be pretty good, I've seen a lot worse. I like that the body isn't opaque, it's nice to be able to see how much paint is in the hopper. BPS is solid, it keeps up with my brother's Ion, and my Zenith. A really nice feature (I don't know if this was planned or not) is that even if the battery dies mid-match balls will still feed. This happened once, it was a nice surprise. Also, the sound activated feed is pretty consistent.

CONS: It's a bit loud, and a little bulky. Other than that I really don't have any complaints about it.

SUMMARY: As mentioned a solid electric hopper for what you pay. I highly recommend it to any of the younger guys buying their own equipment, or anyone on a budget like me. I would recommend a rechargeable 9Volt battery or two. Nice way to save a few more bucks in the long run.

When balls are feeding, it is loud and is no the best hopper. The reason I am saying this is because i play at a close range paintball place. And when i am trying to be sneaky and slip through the place, I dont want a loud boisterous hopper.But for speeedball and woodsball, great hopper for the price. But if you play close paintball like me, I would spen a little more to get a quiter hopper.

Awesome hopper for the price. I like the "smoke" view because it obscures your opponents' view of how much paint you have left. Clear hoppers are easier to see from across the field. I have two of these, one for my SP Vibe and one for my DP G3. No problems with the Vibe (have used it in numerous games without a hitch; love it!) With the G3 however, I have to set the switch to the fastest setting otherwise it doesn't feed right all the time. I still end-up giving it a shake from time to time. Curious, not sure what I might be doing wrong. It does this even with fresh name brand batteries and I don't use any ramping or auto-fire, semi-auto only (more fun and less wasted paint for rec. players like me.)

Pros:
1. No paint breakage. zero! I am not joking.
2. Runs on air. very very very efficient with the battery.
3. Fast, accurate, adjustable feed.
4. Solid, takes beatings.

Cons:
1. a bit large, this is not a low profile hopper.
2. Slightly large opening (but fits tippmans)
3. Will obscure the view - a bit low. I added an extension since I use a scope.
4. Clear. people can see your paint (if you know you know...)

Overall - the best hopper, comparing to my friends hoppers - electric and Cyclonic (which look cooler).

The hopper itself is well worth the money if you are looking for a reliable entry-level electric hopper. It has three speeds and is sound activated. The batteries last a really long time. Not as sleek and low-profile as other electric hoppers, but not too huge or heavy either. Great product, definitely recommend for the price. NOTE: This review is based on the black hopper, since that is what I received instead of the smoke colored one.

If your out to have fun playing with friends and family this is about as good as you need. Sound activated hopper so you can move but as soon as you fire this thing starts up. Kinda loud but only if your a sniper. In that case this is over kill. Battery life seems good. Smoke color is great, but the lid is white/clear. wished it was all smoke. 3 speeds, easy clean, no buyers remorse here!

I just started playing the sport. I bought this to go with my new gun. I was very pleased with the easy operation. It was fairly quiet. Not something a sniper would use but anyone else your ok. I love how it shuts down when not in use so you can sit quietly and sneak up on someone. A little bulky but other than that very pleased.
