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.

My son receive this bubble machine for his second birthday. He is abscessed with bubble so we couldn't wait to try it! I brought it home and the machine motor turned the fan, but the bubbles sticks on top would not rotate. I thought that maybe the grandparents to buy form had dropped it and something is just wrong with the machine. Instead of telling them so they can return it, I bought another one on Amazon for him. I just got the machine A few days ago and tried it out today. I put four brand-new batteries in it and tested it before inserting a bubble mix. It worked fine. I brought it outside and turned it on and my two toddlers were running around laughing in heaven. Only five minutes later, the machine completely stopped working! I tried taking out the batteries and replacing them again with another new set of batteries, and the machine won't turn on. There's no sound showing that the fan or the motor are working. This machine is junk! Now I have to crying toddlers because the machine just all of a sudden stopped working and mommy can't fix it! Do not buy this. After two experiences with this machine, I realize they just do not work. I have written the seller that I bought it from requesting a refund. Way too expensive for something that only last a few minutes!

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.

This machine puts out more bubbles than any other I’ve seen. The kids are thrilled and amazed when this machine starts up. We’ve had 2 as the last one quit on us after about 2 months. It does burn through batteries. My other issue with functionality is that the container used to dispense the bubbles into the machine does not fit snugly into the holder and is rendered pretty much useless. This causes you to have to manually pour bubbles into the opening of the machine every couple of minutes to keep it going. Regardless of all of this, I would still probably buy again because the kids love it so much.

I first bought one of these on a whim while shopping at the grocery store. I saw it and thought my two-year-old granddaughter would love it, and I was right. She’s at my house twice a week, and I’m telling you, we used this bubble machine for hours at a time, twice a week, for the entire summer. We went through THREE of the liter-sized Gazillion bubble refills (and several sets of batteries!). The amount of bubbles it cranks out is astonishing, and they float around for a long time. They float up and over my two-story house like a giant bubble cloud. In fact, we went for a walk last week, and we were FOUR HOUSES down the street and my granddaughter said “bubble!” and pointed and sure enough, a few bubbles had floated down the street! Obviously, some of the bubbles stay low and close to the ground, and she runs through them and tries to catch them. It really is that awesome. A few days ago it died. It’s important to rinse it off after use at the end of the day, and I’ll be honest, I usually just squirted it off with the hose every time. I’m thinking that some of the water spray finally made its way into the battery compartment. I tried to find this same one in stores, but I had to go with a similar one by a different company. That was a mistake- it wasn’t nearly as good. So I ordered this one on Amazon, and it’s every bit as awesome as the original one I bought. I’ll be more careful with my rinsing with this one!

Worked great for awhile. Still blows bubbles but not as good as when we first opened it. I changed the batteries but still does not work as well. Good for the price I paid thogh.

Grand kids love this bubble machine great value the $$ this is our 2nd one the other one got ran over by accident

The first time I bought this, it arrived with parts missing. We returned it without ever using it. The second time I bought this, it stopped working well after about half an hour. It seems like the rotating points get gummed up with the bubble soap and this binds it up. The motor began to make a strange whooshing sound when we'd turn it back on and it would take a full 20 second or so to start spinning. Also there's nothing to hold the upside down bottle of bubble solution onto the tray so the slightest bump or breath of wind knocks it off and then you have a mess. We will be returning this, much to the disappointment of my kids. I'll be looking at machines that have been engineered differently. UPDATE: we got a replacement one and it, too, only worked for about 20 minutes before just suddenly quitting. We washed it out, changed batteries, and nothing happened. We moved on to something else, then about an hour later the machine started hissing and a few minutes after that it started working again...Now it won't work again. I've washed it out and had it turned on, sitting on our counter as a reminder to contact the company. It has been sitting on the counter for almost a week and today it randomly started hissing again but never started working. It's like the thing is possessed. What a disappointing toy.

Ich mache seit vielen Jahren Seifenblasen mit Multibubblern, Riesenseifenblasenbändern, zum drin stehen, zum mit machen, zum zuschauen. Seifenblasen sind bei uns immer irgendwie "dabei". Nun habe ich auch mehrere Maschinen, um die Bänder zu unterstützen. Es gab ganz gute Maschinen hier zu kaufen, die große "Vulcano" aus einer bekannten "Spielzeug-Geschäfts"-Kette überzeugte mich dann auch im Einsatz. Ich wollte noch 4-5 davon kaufen, bei einem Preis von 20 Euro wäre ich so auf 100 Euro gekommen. Also fix hier auf Amazon geschaut und die ähnlich aussehenden Tornados gefunden. Tja, was soll ich sagen. NIcht mal 1/10 der Leistung, mit billiger Lösung aus Billig-Discountern absolut unbrauchbar. Mit der Billiglösung kommen etwa 10 Blasen pro Minute. Zum Vergleich: die Vulcano schafft etwa 10.000 in der gleichen Zeit. Es ist also auf gut deutsch gesagt Müll, der nichts taugt. 1 Stern, mehr wäre eigentlich nicht drin. Ich finde aber 1-Sterne-Bewertungen immer so "drastisch", deswegen gebe ich einen wohlgemeinten Stern dazu, für die schnelle Lieferung und weil das Gerät Geräusche von sich gibt, wenn man Batterien rein packt und den Schalter drückt. Mehr als 2 sind aber auf keinen Fall drin!

Bouton marche arrêt qui ne fonctionne pas: je suis obligée d enlever une pile pour arrêter la machine à bulles et de la remettre pour le faire fonctionner. Donc cher par rapport à la qualité du produit! Sinon nombreuses bulles.

Works like a dream but runs out of mix fast! Need to make sure you have extra mix on hand. I decanted more mix into original bottle, covered the top with a bit of tin foil then placed bottle on point as if it were a brand new one. Kids love it. Made sure to rinse it down well after use as the mixture gets everywhere. If you leave them the machine gets gunked up and may well stop working.

Stopped working after couple uses, can’t return too

It is good machine, although it’s own small bottle doesn’t stay may be I didn’t fit it well, but still there is small dish to put bubbles liquid and requires refill after few minutes . So far my child is enjoying this machine.
