Arachnid Cricket Pro 800 Electronic Dartboard with NylonTough Segments for Im...

luv this dartboard, easy to install, easy to navigate to multiple gaming options, accurate and as advertised, would highly recommend

I live in New Zealand and ordered this from Amazon on what would have been Sunday in the US. Well it got delivered the following Friday which I thought was amazingly quick considering it had visited 3 cities in the US, plus Hawaii and Australia en route to NZ. I was very impressed as the cost of shipping of this pretty large item was quite low as well. However, when I put it up and started playing, I found 2 complete segments - 12 and 18 - wouldn't register at all, although occasionally a hit half way up the 12 would register as a bullseye. I was very disappointed to say the least. I contacted Amazon through their online chat and within 5 minutes I was advised that a new one was on it's way and my account had been credited with $10. I was quite happy about that. I received the new one a few days later, after receiving an email that it was delayed by 1 day due to a mechanical problem with a plane or truck. I had a bit of a laugh about the size of box the new one had been shipped in - it was huge, much bigger than the first one. They obviously wanted to ensure this one didn't get damaged en route! Anyway, when I put this one up, I'm happy to say it works perfectly and it's a lot of fun. I read in other reviews that the darts aren't the best and that the flights fall out quite easily, and I definitely concur. I'm a complete newby so wouldn't have known that other darts don't have the same problem. So at some stage I'll buy some new darts. In the meantime it's not that big a deal for me. My only concern now is that I received an email stating that unless Amazon receive the old non-working dartboard back by the end of the month, they'll charge me for the second one they sent me. When I went to ship it back to Amazon, I found that return shipping to the US was extremely expensive. The cheapest I could find was $90 US, which was at least double what it cost for shipping to NZ. However, I have confirmed twice with 2 different Amazon online chat people, that the shipping cost will be refunded to me, although I'll have to wait 60 days from when they receive it. The funny thing is that the 2nd person advised me that they'd received the faulty dartboard back already and everything was resolved. Very strange considering it was right next to me at the time. Anyway, I've now shipped it back and hopefully everything will work out in the end. All in all, it's a great dartboard, and a lot of fun, and I don't blame Amazon for the faulty one and in my opinion Amazon have been great to deal with and would say their customer service is top notch.

Good quality sound and score keeping was simple to follow. Straight forward and easy to use when changing games, changing volume, and adding players. The heckler option kept me laughing and is painfully distracting. Luckily, easy to turn off or lessen the amount of zingers. :D I had 1 problem with dart board. The area just outside the bull’s eye didn’t work. No sound, no light, no score no matter how hard the dart hit the board. This area is located at innermost part of the triangle, at the very bottom and applied to all of the numbers. I called Amazon to troubleshoot and/or replace the dart board. The customer service rep was excellent, but nothing fixed it. I was then connected to Arachnid support. I went through all the troubleshooting again and nothing brought the dead zone back to life. The Arachnid guy told me to fill out the warranty slip, take a picture of the board, send proof of purchase, mail it all to Arachnid and THEN they would get back to me about my OPTIONS. I had only owned the board a little over a week and their Arachnid product had a malfunction. I didn’t want to be without a properly functioning dart board for weeks or be stuck with a bad board either. I was very disappointed to say the least with Arachnid customer service. The Amazon rep stepped in and because I bought the board through Amazon, I was protected by their return/replacement policy. I was grateful to receive a replacement dart board in two days. The new board works perfectly and scores all the darts with no dead zones. I played in a dart league for 3 years and while this dart board isn’t bar quality tough, it’s comparable and lots of fun! Thank you Amazon for watching out for your customers and a big thank you to Taura!

I have had this board for 6or 7 years.. It use to get played all of the time..Best electronic dart board for the money by far. Very rarely would it drop a dart and that would normally be the throwers fault. Good Quality product! Glad I bought it
