How long has this lasted for you? Years ago many people had broken parts etc... Is that still happening today?

I bought two for my sons birthday party. On one of them the plunger started not working (didn't shut the water completely off), the other worked and is still working. Mainly 2-3 adults making water balloons for the party. Was used by multiple adults, lot of kids and they all liked they could fill their own water balloons easily. Neat design, I would pay @ $10-15 more for a more dependable/sturdy model though after using. As it is I'll buy another before our next planned water balloon fights.

I have had mine for over a month now and my two boys use it "alot" and it's holding up just fine. I don't put the hose of full blast either so maybe that helps too, the water pressure doesn't need to be very high at all....Hope that helps.

We have this this for the 2nd summer now. No problems with it. It's all in how you handle it. You have to be careful not to drop it or have kids handle it. Only an adult has used it in our house and it works great!

It didn't last the day, I don't know if it lasted an hour. It didn't last long enough for us to get the hang of it.

I haven't used it long enough to tell you, but I can tell you that it's really thick plastic. Sturdily constructed.

Yes it is still happening. The problem is the button you push to release the water into the balloon, malfunctioned. It no longer needed to be pushed for water to escape after making just 3 water balloons.

Yes, mine broke off too after a short time. I was told there was no way to fix it, and that no one else ever has that problem.

ours has started having issues this season as well, ( less than a year old) I plan to open it up and see if there may be debris or chemical buildup restricting the moving parts..... not sure if there is a fix? would like to hear what problems/fixes others have had as well

That's something I didn't check on. I figured since it was so cheap, it wasn't that big of a deal.We could just get a new one if it broke. We haven't had any issues so far - it's working as it should.

It is broken. My hubby soldered mine back together for me. It's good as new now and saved the hassle of sending it back.

It's been nothing but a nightmare so far. My grandfather is the former head of R&D; for major aircraft manufacturer. If something is broken, he can fix it period. So far he has been working on the assembly for over an hour. Quit simpley put, some of the plastic pieces just dont fit.

I haven't had mine as long, but haven't experienced that problem. Have you contacted the mfg?

Yes, ours came with broken parts, and the company said the pieces are already in the mail and should be here tomorrow. Several pieces were broken, but the shipping box was in tact. So just contact the seller. Update...the new parts just arrived, and they sent some extras too.

I have had mine (original version) since Feb 2014...I've never had an issue of losing a part or breaking...they still work just fine. I may try the new version just because they say it's softer. I do have one the kinda hurts a bit. But one out of three ain't bad!

I've had mine for about 18 mos. I've nit had any problems and it still seems very strong. The ones I was buying from an auto parts place didn't seem to make it a year.

Hi Annette, The one we received was broken. I haven't read the other reviews so I can't verify how common of an occurrence it is. I hope that helps. Best, Brett

If it is broken you might need that broken part.And i believe it is kind of hard to find that piece but you can try searching it online sometimes people take parts out of their old ones and sell them online.

I did not replace the one that broke so I have no idea if it's a common problem. It's a pretty inexpensive product, so if you had one for 20 years that's a great run

I've not had that problem. I would probably do a search online for parts. However, something tells me that you would probably do best to take it to a repair shop.
