When you explore Competitive Edge Products, a Utah-based, family-owned business with almost 20 years in the market, you might find their selection a bit underwhelming. Our latest visit revealed just 15 items listed under "Air Hockey Tables," and that count included three sets of strikers and pucks.

Join the waiting list for out-of-stock models

Out of the 12 actual air hockey tables listed, three were out of stock during our most recent visit. If you have your heart set on one of those, you can join a waiting list by clicking the yellow "Put me on the Waiting List" button on the product page to get notified when it becomes available again.

Prices start at $150

The nine available tables were priced between $149.99 and $1,379.99, all with the perk of free shipping. At the lower end, you'll find the Carmelli Hockey Game Table Hat Trick; it's made of MDF board and requires two AAA batteries for gameplay. This table has plenty of specs, photos, and even YouTube videos if you want to see what it looks like in use. It also comes with a 180-day limited warranty.

Highest-priced table is $1,100

For a higher-end option, check out the Atomic 90" Top Shelf Air Hockey Table for $1,099.99, which includes LED pushers, a hexagonal spinner LED puck, and high-tempo music to enhance your gameplay. We noticed, though, that this table is actually fulfilled by another company on our list, so bear in mind that your Competitive Edge Products order might make a few hops, skips, and jumps through other retailers before it gets to you. And, in case you're wondering about that highest-priced table for $1,379.99, it's the Hathaway Breakaway and it's actually a foosball table with a dome, so we don't really count it in our evaluation of air hockey tables here.

Low prices are guaranteed

Competitive Edge does offer a low price guarantee. If you spot a better price elsewhere, use the link in the product description to submit a pop-up form with your email, the competitor's link, and your zip code. Just double-check that the item is in stock at the other retailer, as Competitive Edge won't match prices on out-of-stock items. You'll hear back within 3-4 business days to confirm the price match.

Stricter than some on returns

Be cautious with returns. You have 30 days to initiate a return, but you'll face a 20% restocking fee if you don't return the air hockey table in unused condition with all original packaging. Additionally, you'll cover the return shipping costs, and the initial delivery fees will be deducted from your refund (despite the free shipping offer when you first bought the table). These costs can make returning items quite expensive, so think twice before purchasing and make sure to use the dimensions that Competitive Edge Products provides so that you'll be reasonably sure your air hockey table will fit the space you have in mind.

Gets lots of praise from happy campers (literally)

Reputation is no problem for this retailer: Competitive Edge Products maintains an "A+" rating with accreditation from the Better Business Bureau and positive customer reviews. The overall buying experience is generally well-regarded, with lots of compliments for this retailer's friendly, helpful reps and low prices. Across 600+ ratings, Competitive Edge Products earned an impressive average of 4.8 stars out of 5. Although most customers seem to be buying tents and sheds here, not air hockey tables, we're pretty sure that the exceptional service will extend to your purchase too.

Better than average

That super-satisfied shopper feedback and the slight increase in inventory since our last evaluation have brought Competitive Edge Products' rating up to an above-average rating now. Though we'd like to see a bit more in the air hockey table selection, perhaps some higher-end tables with bells and whistles like electronic scoring, we're pleased overall with what this retailer is offering.
