 Good Quality and Lots of Features Jul 18, 2011
By Chris T. Fuller
"Chris1165"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R17BRV2ED19B10 I liked this model so much that I had to create a quick video of it's features. Thanks to Amazon, when I ordered and received the 650 model, I wasn't satisfied with it and sent it back without any problems. I then ordered the 800 series and loved it. Had I seen up close the features, I would have purchased this model the first time around.

 Excellent Recreational Board Near Bar Quality May 16, 2009
By Luke K.
General:
Overall this is an excellent board, and I believe an excellent value, even at this price. The board plays very similar to a bar board at a fraction of the price. It is not without its issues, but those are outweighed by its benefits.
Pros:
-Excellent playablility
-Multitude of games
-X/O feature very nice and readable from a distance
-Few bounce-outs
-Sound effects announce number and score
-Solid construction
-Easy Installation
Cons:
-Darts that come with the board are junk. You must buy your own, unless you love chasing flights after each throw. At this price point, you probably own your own darts anyways.
-Bulls-eye malfunction: About once every 5 games, you will hit very close to the bulls-eye on say a 15, and it will score as a bulls-eye. The "bounce out" button allows for correction.
-Although the X/O display is lit, the numbers the X/O's correspond to just above it are not. So, from the throw line, you can barely see what numbers you need unless you memorize the X/O numbers. Basically before each throw you say I need 1 more of the second number from the left.
-CPU Vs. mode is useless. The CPU throws dreadfully slow, and even in novice mode(easiest) typically throws will be triple 20, triple 17 and double bulls-eye. Unless you are near pro, just play by yourself.
Even with the list of cons, this is still a 5 star board. I know it is expensive, but when you see that the playability is similar to a bar board at $3000-$4000, $250 seems like a steal. Just remember this is a recreational board, and it is not without minor issues.
Thoroughly pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended!

Best bang for buck! Feb 09, 2010
By JWIII
I recently recieved this board as a gift, and I am loving it!
The CricketPro 800 is worth the money and will keep your throw tuned up while you are away from the league or the local dives.
Pros:
No Bounce Outs
High Quality Score Segments
X/O LED Scoring
Displays Average Points per Dart in '01 games
Heckler makes bad dart throws fun
Cons:
The board Mounts with 2 centered bolts. Above and Below
Not Battery Powered, must be near Outlet

Very happy with purchase but wish for more Jul 22, 2008
By D. Babcock
I like this dart board very much. Having everything automated is so nice and allows me to visit with my friends instead of scoring. The price was a little high. The talking can be annoying. I like that it reveals what was hit. However, adding "hit" or "miss" adds to much talking. It's like having someone talk when your trying to putt. I throw darts fast enough that it's talking as I throw because it says too much. Just say the point value of what I hit...please.

League shooter is very pleased with this product Oct 22, 2011
By Brian W.
"Brian"
This board is by far the best bang for your buck. I have shot on thousands of boards and this one ranks as close to a bar board that you can get for the money. I read reviews about people not being able to read the numbers in a poorly lit room, well who in their right mind would shoot darts in a dim room without a light on the board. I have shot at least 20 games of cricket in the first day I owned it and have not had a single bounce out. The heckler is annoying but easily turned off. A voice does announce your shot and who's turn but that just helps keep everyone organized. I've also seen complaints about the way the board mounts. 2 screws are plenty to anchor this unit solid to the wall. I have zero movements when removing darts. You just need to patiently keep tweeking the screws in until you get a snug lock down transition. The darts that come with the board are lower quality but will get the job done if you choose not to invest in better darts right away.
Over all, I would buy this again and highly recommend to anyone that wants a high quality home board.
