Rank #8 in Best Automatic Dog Ball Launcher 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Range Claims That Don't Add Up
Gziztx Automatic Dog Ball Launcher, 3 ETPU Balls
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Gziztx Automatic Dog Ball Launcher sits at number 8 in this guide and is one of the two cheapest models on it at £34.99. Its listing gives three launch distances — 6 m, 10 m and 14 m — which the title rounds to 19–45 ft. That 14 m top figure is the same as the other £34.99 model and higher than the £59.99 launcher's 12 m, so on this page's evidence the advertised top distance does not follow the price.
The number that does not close here is the ball. The title sells the launcher "with 3 Tennis Balls", while the first bullet and the included-components line both say three 2.28-inch (58 mm) E-TPU balls. That is the larger of the two ball diameters used across this guide, and one reviewer of this model describes the supplied balls as small and light, "not tennis". It carries 4.1 stars from 42 ratings, and the star breakdown on the listing totals 100 — read it as shares of ratings, not counts. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this model, not from testing we carried out ourselves.
