Gazillion Tornado Bubble Machine

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.

Doesn't last long I believe I got 2-3 different kind of this brand . Takes 4 double a batteries only last couple of hours so you keep having to get new batteries. The bubbles are find and great but the machine doesn't keep up . I leave it on for 20 mins or so for my dogs so the my can run and play turn it off and used it about once a day or every other day and after a week it would stop working even with new batteries. I got a replacement and it happens a 3rd time with a different model that took 6 double a batteries. Battery life is low and weak Stops working Bubbles are great until it just kicks the bucket .

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.

Nice unit be quality control should inspect it better. When I received it, it jammed within a second of running. I could see a bubble ring got caught hitting the edge of the soap container. Only one of the maybe 8 rings hit, and only by a 1/16th of an inch. So I cut back about a 1/16th off that obstruction. That aloud the bubble rings the spin by. One other issue is the design, It stops making bubbles when the soap does not cover the full ring and it runs out of soap quickly because the soap spills out of the unit when turning. you can see in the picture, the purple catch ring at the bottom. So buy the cheap soap at the dollar store. With all that said, it does make a lot of bubbles and it's a kids toy. but I think I'll buy a professional machine and keep it out of reach of the kids in the near future.

Broke in 3 days. However it dose work great and makes a lot of bubbles before it broke

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!

Purchased for a one year olds birthday. It was a big hit. Makes a ton of bubbles. Liked that it came with some bubbles to get you started but definitely needed to buy more bubbles.

Absolutely love this bubble machine. Goes through lots of bubbles so have extra but keeps the kids entertained for awhile

Hard to put in batteries and stopped working in 5 weeks. Motor seemed to have failed.

Lustiges Ding – leider etwas laut im Betrieb, ich denke, das ginge auch anders. Das billig anmutende Plastik-Motoren-Gerassel erkauft man sich wohl mit dem geringen Preis. Ansonsten eine echte Kaufempfehlung.

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.

OTTIME BOLLE .PER QUELLO CHE COSTA VA ABBASTANZA BENE. IO LO USO PER I MIEI SPETTACOLI DI MAGIA. UN GIOIELLINO.LO CONSIGLIO A TUTTI.
