Gazillion Tornado Bubble Machine, Kids Toy Bubble Blower, 4500 Bubbles per Minute, Outdoor Bubble Party Fun - Includes 4 oz. Gazillion Bubble Non-Toxic Solution

Okay, so I finally caved and got this bubble machine. My daughter and nephew, both under 2 years old, absolutely adore it! Seriously, they spend ages just running around the yard, giggling and chasing the bubbles – it's been fantastic for keeping them entertained.Yes, it does have its downsides. I've definitely noticed it leaks a bit, which can be a little annoying, and the batteries seem to drain pretty quickly. I'm constantly swapping them out.However, honestly, it actually works! It produces a decent stream of bubbles, and the best part? It was super cheap. For the amount of joy it's brought the kids, even with the leakage and battery issues, I have to say the pros definitely outweigh the cons in my book. It's a simple, inexpensive way to get them outside and having a blast.

The first one of these bubble machines we bought from Walmart. It worked great for the first day we used it, and that's was maybe for an hour. The second time we tried it a few days later, it wouldn't turn on. We tried replacing the batteries, but it was just not working. We bought a second one on Amazon and it worked for about two seconds and then stopped. Again, I tried to switch the batteries but that was not the issue. I'm returning it and buying a different product next time. I have a few very unhappy little kids at the moment! I strongly suggest buying a different model because I think something is flawed with this one.

Great little bubble maker. Buy lots of extra bubbles because it does go fast.

Works great but is pretty loud and scared my toddler

It stops working completely in less than a month.

If you want BUBBLES, look no further.This is the thing. Tornado is not an exaggeration.The mechanism is a bunch of bubble wands (like those that come in a bottle of bubble stuff) arranged in a circle.The circle spins slowly. Each wand, in turn, dips into the bubble solution, then travels around the circle over a strong breeze from the internal fan.Voila. Like a dozen children furiously blowing bubbles!The included (8oz.) solution produces tons of uniform bubbles.The only problem is the solution runs out in about 15 minutes.Buy more solution, or be prepared to make your own (millions of recipes online).I made some myself, but it didn't perform as well (non-uniform and clumpy bubbles) as the Gazillion bubbles solution.The design is not perfect.The thing you "balance" the inverted bottle of fluid on is precarious at best. The slightest breeze will knock the bottle over, and there is no chance if you want to use a larger bottle.Fortunately, I'm mechanically inclined.Save the black plastic packaging pieces. They worked perfectly to hot melt glue into the chamber to properly support various bottles. (See pictures).Quality control is not be the best.One of the "wand" things stuck in the up position, which would jam the device (making it sound like the little plastic gears were disintigrating...)I had to disassemble and clean up some "mold flash" to get it to work at all.Sanded some rough spots.Figured out why another wand was catching as it lifted out of the solution...I actually spent quite a bit of time tinkering with my $15 toy to get it to work satisfactorily.But the bubbles are just relaxation in a bottle.

Kids love this I have purchased 2 of them for gifts. It blows several bubbles into the air. I have used different brands of bubbles they all work great in this machine. Highly recommend

Loved the bubble machine, at first. Lots of bubbles and made for a great time with my kiddo, AT FIRST. We used all the bubbles that were provided and then had to use bubbles that I bought at the store and they didn’t even come close to the gazillion bubble brand. The third time we tried to use the machine, it no longer worked. I thought maybe the batteries died, so I changed them. It still didn’t work. Not sure what happened, but the machine is no longer usable, which is a bummer. Literally used twice.
