Do the bases of both 'BOBs' hold the same amount of water? e.g., do both BOBs come with the same base?

Yes they hold the same amount of water or sand. No the bases ARE NOT the same for the BOB and the BOB XL. The base for the BOB has six screw holes and its height is non-adjustable. The base for the BOB XL has no screw holes and is adjustable in height.Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.SteveThe Martial Arts Store(770) 441-9946

The documentation in the box says it does, but by the time you get it it is pretty dehydrated. Just fill it up with distilled water and the beads re-expand to fill the plastic box.

Yes, however they will take on water and the excess water will have to be squeezed out. To prevent bacterial growth, use a tablespoon or two of white distilled vinegar with a gallon of water for the washing solution, and be sure to squeeze as much water out after washing as possible. It is a GREAT toy and washing them will be necessary, but I found it to be easy!

About 3 gallons. They look like they'd hold more, but you really don't want to fill up the top one. When I did, I got water all over the place. By putting no more than 1/2 gal. in the top portion (after the bottom is filled), you should do just fine. I normally add more water right away if I've used a fair amount for something.

Yes, you can add as much water to them as you would like but they will expand a lot but will max out on the water they can hold leaving some left in the container

Yes, they're the same - that's what I use as a straight refill (no need to add water or anything.)

Yes. After filling the tank and inserting it into the base, water will fill the base.

I tested each one filled with water. Two leaked, one didn't. There are always slight differences in items like this. If you are going to turn them upside down or sideways, test each lid first to make sure.

Hello! I tossed one of the medium sized bears in a bowl of water. It roughly floated - hung out on top, but much of the bear was underneath the water's surface, with only a little amount actually above the water. So they do seem to float, but not as good as, say, a rubber ducky.Hope this helps!

Yes, but I bought them for my grandson and I. We throw them at each other without any water. He loved it at an amusement park, so I bought quite a few pkgs.

Unsure of difference. But the reviews I have seen rate the WaterBob very highly.

Please IGNORE my previous answer. It comes with a SINGLE base and two different tops.

Yes. You need to fill the base with water or sand. We bought ours in September and it's the same exact style and brand from my son's Tae Kwon Do school where there are many amazing black belts who practice on this equipment every day.

No. They each have their own lid and the smaller one is too small for the larger container.

Seems to be, yes - with one exception: The older bases were cast in thicker plastic, so they don't crack. The newer bases are thinner, and one slight over-tightening and bam - it will split in two.

No they didn't come with a base but really I don't think these are made for liquid. I hope this helps
