Kidzlane Bubble Maker Machine for Kids - Big Bubbles Speed Blower for Toddler's Outdoor Party Play - Makes 500 to 1000 per Minute (Bubble Dolphin)

I used this for a “trunk or treat” Under the sea themed booth at a fall festival. It was a hit with kids of all ages. I ran it for 3 hours straight without any problems or slowing down. I used a homemade bubble solution, and brought 3 gallons, but only filled the machine 2 or three times total (less than a half gallon). The recipe I used worked great, made zillions of quality bubbles, and can also be used to make giant bubbles or even hand-formed bubbles. It is adapted from many online sources, search for the originals. I lined a bucket with a clean bag (because kids pop bubbles with their mouth, y’all!). Poured in a whole 16 oz bottle of Dawn platinum dish detergent liquid. Added 1.5 tablespoons xanthan gum and stirred together until mixed Added 2 gallons room temp water and stirred. Added 1.5 tablespoons baking powder and stirred. Noticed it was a little clumpy, so I made the last gallon of water hot before adding it in. That helped the baking powder dissolve in. I used the solution about 3 hours after making it. Reviews online say it gets even better the next day, but I don’t know how it could be any better than it was! Note- some online “bubble experts” state that only guar gum works, but I went to 3 stores and couldn’t find any where I live, so I used Xanthan gum (which is available in all grocery stores near me). It was still great, and this machine did well with this recipe. It also cleaned up easily, just rinsed the chamber until the bubbles were gone and took the batteries out. A wipe down of the outside was all it needed. It didn’t get soapy or nasty at all.

I really like this bubble machine. It makes so many bubbles in varying sizes. The bubble liquid that came with it had iridescent qualities. After I bought one and tested it I ordered a second one. We are going to use two for my daughter's going away after wedding, instead of rice or birdseed. Guests are going to ring bells. I looked at many bubble machines. i was really concerned about how noisy they were. But I find the noise level of the KIDZLANE machine to be acceptable. I think this will last more than one season if we take care of it and clean it and remove batteries for storage. I will say that if you rinse the reservoir out with water that you should remove batteries first. The bubble liquid doesn't get in the batteries, but if you are rinsing it off with water to clean it out, the batteries do get wet.

UPDATE: FYI:64oz Little Kids Fubble Bubbles I purchased here on Amazon for roughly $12 (now going for roughly $9).Went to target & grabbed a 50oz Sun Squad bubble solution for $3. We only got the smaller solution to test it out. They have bigger bottles for a few bucks more. Works perfectly, plus a surprising strawberry scent.Also, the Target Up&Up 10pk alkaline AA batteries purchased for roughly $9 seem to be lasting much longer than the 8pk Energizer I purchased here off Amazon as well for about $5....Much bigger & more powerful than expected. LOTS-O-BUBBLES!!My 4yro was overwhelmed at first & wouldn't even go near them. It was That many! The solution goes quickly & the machine ate up the batteries. I recommend rechargeable batteries if you plan on getting a lot of use, & also have a solution refill on hand--especially for a party. We purchased the 64oz Little Kids Fubble Bubbles here off Amazon & it worked perfectly.It seems very sturdy as well for minor mishaps.Be mindful of placement because my carpet got plenty wet.I reckon 2 or 3 of these bad boys would make for a fun photo/video shoot!

Very easy to use: install batteries, pour in bubble solution and push the button! The bubbles are great.My only gripes are :#1 There is no setting for fan speed, so it is either on full blast or off. This means you will burn through solution FAST - keep that in mind if you plan to use it often or for long periods of time. Gripe #2 is that the solution sits in a bucket of sorts (no lid), so if it gets tipped over by say, a curious toddler, you will lose all your bubble solution.Besides those 2 minor complaints, it works exactly as I would expect and my 15mo old daughter loves to chase and pop the bubbles! This will bring us lots of fun this summer!

Cute bubble machine for kids!

I've gotten three uses out of this product before it broke. It is badly engineered, whether by incompetence or design I don't know. In short, save your money and find something better designed.The problem is simply that there is almost no protection from liquids inside the toy. That means that should you splash any of the bubble mix it is running down into the motor (inadequately shielded) and the batteries which have no protection at all. What little shielding is around the motor only serves to hold the liquid in and not let it dry out. Since bubble solution contains glycerine or some other additive to make the bubbles last longer, it does not dry out by measures such as using rice or salt to absorb the water. In short, you end up with a gunked up motor and corroding connectors. The way this toy is designed it is inevitablethat some of the bubble solution will splash into it and cause it to stop working. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Update after 2 weeks. It still works just fine BUT this takes 8 AA batteries and they only last MAYBE 4 hours. Every 3 days we’re replacing them and that gets expensive very fast. This $30 toy suddenly because $50 in just 2 weeks.Great product! Works really well and puts out a lot of bubbles.Watch out if you’re buying as a gift!! This did not come inside any box besides the product box. Most Amazon orders come in an Amazon box but this does not so if you have package stealers keep that in mind. It was left on my porch in the rain and the box was destroyed so I ended up gifting it without any original packaging.
