The two power buttons are a bit confusing, but essentially, the bottom “switch” will turn power on to the device from a wall outlet. On the back of the device you will notice a power switch to turn the device power on and off with the AC adapter port, and then an actual on/off button to be used with the rechargeable lithium ion batteries. These make it easier to move the ball launcher outdoors for a quick game of fetch and then bring it back inside for more playtime. If you plan on using the large version ( iDogmate Midi), these handles come in handy because the iDogmate Midi launcher was quite a bit bigger than expected. Moving to the side you will see two green handles for moving the launcher. For example, we tested the SmartPult ball launcher which had a very small ball funnel on the top of the device which results in difficult training. The wider the area for your dog to return the ball to, the easier it is for them to learn.

The ball funnel area is wide which we absolutely love, especially if you plan on teaching your dog how to play a game of automatic fetch. Looking down onto the unit you will see the bright green ball chute which funnels the ball into the machine to prepare for launch. The white and bright green color palette matched with the sleek curves and solid frame makes this an A+ in design.

We absolutely love the creativity and uniqueness of this automatic ball launcher as there are no other products on the market like it.
