The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute commissioned competitors from a local dart league to test electronic dartboards, and this one proved to be the best because its bristle surface accommodates steel- or plastic-tip darts and minimizes bounce-outs. Unlike other models that allowed well-thrown darts to bounce off of the board and remain untallied, the best dartboard consistently held on to darts and accurately recorded scores. Housed in a maple-finished wood cabinet, the unit was the easiest to mount of all the competing models, and its officially-sized, 18-diameter target did not show punctures like other boards. Scoring highest for ease of use, the simple instruction manual allowed a quick setup, the five scoring LEDs were clear and legible from 7' 9 1/4 away (the official throwing distance), and the electronic cricket scoreboard uses the traditional pub-style /, X, and O scoring. The best electronic dartboard has 37 games with 184 level variations, including a practice feature that allows one player to compete against the computer. Includes 12 darts with steel and plastic tips. Plugs into AC. 30 H x 21 3/4 W x 3 1/2 D. (36 lbs.).
