The Gun used to fill is great. The balloons that come with it are Cr@p. They are so thin because of being biodegradable. Which is nice for the environment, since we all know that the kids (or adults) do go around picking up all the balloons in the yard when done.

These things are amazing! It is so fast to inflate multiple water balloons for the kids to play with.  They're also fun to watch as they fill.  I initially saw these on the "Cup of Jo" blog and had to try them.  Having ordered them multiple times, the only issue that has ever come up is that one batch didn't pop well-- we would throw them and they wouldn't explode.  I think we might not have filled them enough so I would say you need to be careful about how you fill them.  Ideally, have a dish tub (the kind they use to bus tables in restaurants) and let each ballon slide off it's filler only after it's very full.  Happy splashing!

The only negative thing about this gun is how often it needs to be refilled. I wish it came with a holdng tank that could be worn as a backpack and a line into the gun's water storage.

That said, my 8yr old would sleep with this if I let him. This is already his favorite outside toy. His favorite feature seems to be the flip out crossbow look. He loves using the triple stream action. There are lots of drenched victims who would agree.

Skip the mess of water balloons and get this instead

The snowman looked great. The built in air pump broke while trying to inflate it the very first time, but luckily I have an air pump for an air mattress and was able to fill it up with that without issue.

Love the gun. Really wish that I could find the bubble brand that came with it. The bubbles are way better than anything I can find around my home.

Nice getting 300 balloons. When filled and tossed balloons explode easily. Took one star off because they tear easily when filling. Many with little pin hole leaks.

the bounce house is nice not big but very nice and kids have fun with it. the only thing that i would like the seller to add on description is you must have the RIGHT Blower Pump to blow it. we got it and had to put it together for my daughter birthday party but where very upset we couldn't do it since didn't have the right Blower Pump. we had the one we use for mattress but it didn't work. So we had to spend more money and to order the right size Blower Pump. So just make sure you have the right Blower Pump besides that its a great present for any kid.

My 3 year old son loves this toy, he will play with it for hours, even longer if I'm running around after him. It's great for multiple children, easy for them to fill the gun themselves. The downside is that the guns don't always fill correctly and they don't always expel the water, so you have a gun with water stuck in it that won't fill much and won't shoot much. The base leaks constantly no matter how tight we make it, so you can't really leave it on for extended periods of time without risking a mudhole in your yard. If FP would make this toy more durable it would be awesome and would get 5 stars easy!

The ballons do not fill equally. If you stop filling before the first one explodes, some will be very small.

My daughter loved the balloon. I didn't love the fact that there were holes in the ballon and i found out when i paid to have it filled.

Thank you Party Supplies for the great HTTYD balloon set, they were well made and super cute and my twin girls loved them for their Bday party! I know better next time to buy or rent a helium machine. I got charged a considerable amount to have them filled! So I omitted the 6 round colored balloons and went to the Dollar Tree store and purchased 6 of the same three colors to replace them(at a dollar each it still was cost effective then having the others filled unfortunately). Lesson learned. Was well worth the celebration of my girls 10th Bday in the end! Thank you!

This actually worked pretty well. We used it for New Year's Eve with the kids, and they absolutely loved it. I was expecting it to fall apart at some point but it held up great. We made sure it was well attached to the ceiling.

It's not reusable, unless you can actually sew the two halves back together again. And it DOES NOT hold 100 balloons. The picture is deceiving. It looks like it holds at least 50. We blew up about 40 balloons before we actually opened the package... and only around 20 actually fit. It still worked well but obviously the effect is not the same.

After looking everywhere online and also considering making my own, I decided this was the easiest option and I'm happy I went with it. I don't know if I'd use it next year, though.

My 9 year old was able to fill the balloons while I tied, really went quickly. The bottle is a little leaky on the pump but less leaky then a hose! I would give it 5 stars but all the purple balloons we got were duds and had to be thrown out. They wouldn't fill and expand like the others. So we threw out about 60 balloons which is a big disappointment.

Its amazing. I highly reccomend this of you want a winchester toy gun. The main thing i like is the ejecting shells and also the fact that you can load a buullet into the chamber if you don't want the magazene. The only thing that is a bit dissapointing is that when you switch the lever into the butt (the normal position) it makes a bit of a popping sound because the butt is completley hollow. Other than that this gun is great. Dont listen to the other reviews because it very rarley jams and when it does you can easliy fix it by just digging the bullet out without it ripping.

In the world of fun, when you have kids, water balloons are a must.  It would seem to me that there would be a great way to fill them up but there's not sadly.  You get the ones that are ready to go and cant reuse the tool that fills them and kind of pay and arm for them.  This thing is a great idea but is to flimsy.  I'm still waiting for a good way to fill balloons.

I have two energetic boys that love to rough-house and play war games so a Nerf gun is a perfect toy to keep them busy for a while. This Nerf gun is great fun for kids and adults but there is one problem with it that keeps it from being truly great.

Putting it together is actually fairly straightforward. In fact, it is more difficult to take it out of the packaging than it is to assemble. Once it is out of the box, loading the ammo and slapping in the magazine takes no time at all. There is that matter of batteries; this toy takes 7(!) AA batteries, 4 for the gun itself and 3 for the magazine. It seems a little excessive but it does not weigh down the toy as much as you'd think.

The magazine needs batteries to power the blue light within that gives the gun a glow for night-time play. It didn't seem to add too much to game play but it didn't hurt either.

There are two triggers on this gun, one of which handles the accelerator motor and the other that launches the foam projectiles. When the accelerator motor is engaged, the gun makes a noise reminiscent of a sci-fi blaster-type weapon that is being armed - really cool.

This two-trigger approach is actually where we have found the one issue with this toy. Both have to be pulled for anything to happen and the placement is a bit awkward. Having larger hands, I have no trouble with it. People with smaller hands, however, are likely to have some difficulty with this setup. It is workable as a two-handed weapon but that (obviously) ties up both hands even though the gun itself is light enough to be easily carried with one hand.

This is a fun Nerf gun for kids (or perhaps for cube-farm after-hours fun in the office) and it is well made. It works well and it does have a pleasing sound to it when it is used. The trigger configuration is the only reason why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. If two triggers is not an issue for you, then this is a great toy that's worth the asking price.

Works great for blowing up hand fulls of air filled balloons, not really designed for extensive decorating use, but just great for filling a small room for  party or for setting up dart targets for an event.  I like the compartment that the power cord is stowed in to keep it handy and with the blower at all times.  Worked well for the Christmas party it was purchased for, and other usses will be found throughout the year to have a few balloons around for the kids to play with.

For a little fun, blow up and tie 4 balloons together at the knots, and then push the cluster of 4 onto a PVC pipe, and twist 2 of the balloons around the pipe, and repeat until the pipe is covered, then either using a weight or a sharpened steak stand the pipe up for a nice Party is here indicator, or to mark an entry way to an event.
