GazillionBubbles Hurricane Machine

After initially getting the bubble machine out of the box I was a little underwhelmed. It's small and doesn't weigh much. After putting in the batteries and starting this bad boy up I was shocked at how many bubbles this little machine produced. We've been playing with this machine the entire week with no issues and my kiddo loves playing in the hurricane of bubbles. I'll update my review later if my mind changes but if you have kids who like bubbles - get this. You won't be disappointed.A few tips:1. The itty bitty bubble solution it comes with only lasts about 20 minutes. (We timed it) I recommend getting the Gazillion 2-liter bubble solution. That stuff makes the best bubbles. Nothing else can compare.2. Make sure not to over fill it. It's very easy to do. I do wish there was a way to hold more bubble fluid so I didn't have to refill every 10 minutes or so or at least a max line to show you when to stop pouring the bubble solution in. If you do fill it up too high it will leak.3. If your bubble wand stops working check to make sure it's appropriately attached to the motor. My toddler was messing with it and it didn't work. Turns out his little fingers lifted it off the thing that makes it spin. After I made sure it was attached correctly we had no more issues.UPDATE 6/10/15:We have been using this bubble maker daily (with the exception of the few times we've had rain) and it's working as if it was still brand new! This is also after about a dozen times it has fallen off our outdoor table. For some reason kids are drawn to it and feel the need to play with the bubble wand while it's spinning so I recommend keeping it high out of reach. I'm really surprised how well it's holding together after all the usage it has gotten so far.

The media could not be loaded. Great product design for the price (being a kids toy). Amazon customers are lucky to buy this here. It's a lot cheaper than Tr-us. I created a wooden base to make it stable, used an old quart alcohol bottle. The one I have is the one with small hole dispenser. (dent the side a little and an electric tape around the cap to keep it snug. a hole (I think its 3/32 in size dia) on the cap (for auto dispense bottle trick) It needs to be modified to limit the flow of liquid or it will spill It goes to the solution so quickly. I also removed the for screws on the battery compartment for convenience and hot glue the 2 pieces together. Compared to other similar products, the batteries are on top instead of the bottom.I ended up plugging the back hole in the wooden base with rubber plug (which is about 1/16" higher), this positioned the machine straight rather tilted backwards. It made a lot of difference.I happened n to have "J-lube" powder, secret ingredients for giant bubble recipe but just added more water to dilute the solution. It worked really good. My recipe: 1/4 cup dishwashing liquid. 1/4 teaspoon J-lube powder, 1/4 tbs baking powder (not soda), 1/4 tsp glycerin. Mix it well then add 2 quarts of water (for giant bubbles just add 1 quart water). IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you to shake/mix it well before adding the water.I used eneloop batteries, and with the auto dispensing modification I did, It continually blows bubble non-stop until all the solution was used with no spills except in the front where the bubbles pops in the front. Kids are satisfied, all I need is to remove the bottle and switch the cap with hole with a new full bottle without even turning the machine off.Most negative reviews is that the wand is not tightly connected to the shaft. The machine is designed to be removable wand and container for clean up. After a few times, removing and installing the wand becomes easier.

I'm really disappointed in this machine. Let me say it does work amazingly but the flaws are too overwhelming. It is small and light weight and it blows bubbles like crazy. Gazillion bubbles have to be the best bubble brand ever, but for bubbles only. The bubble machine works great but it doesn't last long at all. Literally thousands of bubbles, but it runs out quickly. It stands up on a tilt so it's a pain to keep it from leaking. It vibrates so hard it moves so you have to position it in a spot where it will not fall. And it just doesn't last long. Not only does it take 6 batteries, but it ultimately dies after minimal use. And I'm not talking about changing not the batteries, I mean it's garbage. I have been through 2 of these in less than a year and I will not buy another one. I thought maybe I didn't take the best care if the first one so I baked sure to always care for the second one. I never left it outside. I always wiped it down and such and still it just died. I'm so disappointed because it was a supposed to be big part of my childs birthday party that is in 2 weeks and now I don't know what I'm going to do.

Funciona súper bien con la solución incluida. Pero con otra marca no saca tantas burbujas.

One star for looking like the picture. Another star for not canceling on me this time.Not a great bubble machine. Waste of money.

Si tienes el liquido suficiente, serán horas de entretenimiento. Falta un poco de estabilidad, pero en general cumple su función.

Necesita un mundo de pilas AA, y las consume rapidísimo, el plástico es corriente aunque hace lo que promete, si avienta muchas burbujas, pero parece que necesita su propia planta de luz
