Dianne 'Lightweight and easy to carry around for toddlers whilst hundreds of bubbles fly through the air. Lots of fun and the bubble flow very consistent Good value for money.' WARNING(S): Not suitable for children under 3 years old. Only for domestic use. To be used under the direct supervision of an adult. Neil 'Worked for 2 days now just blowing bubble solution not bubbles. I’ve tried 3 types of solution including super concentrated and changed batteries no joy. Don’t bother with it, my son is really disappointed as he loved it when it worked.' The starting point is to use a fabric membrane, which will act as the surface upon which the bubbles are generated. This membrane is then soaked in soapy water. At this point, the fabric becomes a matrix of tiny holes covered in a soapy film. By then passing air through this fabric, thousands of bubbles are generated all at once, coalescing into a foam. Keep the air flowing, and keep the fabric wet, and buddy – you’ve got yourself a foam machine! A Practical Approach Ruth 'Granny bought for my four yr olds birthday and it was a great hit. He's used it several times since and I have already bought refill bubbles in anticipation of further use. Very easy to use with little hands/fingers as he has struggled with other water pistol type toys.'

Danj 'I brought it for my nephews birthday party all the kids loved it! Blows out so many bubbles kept them entertained for ages!

General Information: For outdoor use only. Folds for storage. Size H23, W36, D12cm. Weight 0.93kg. Minimal assembly. Batteries required: 4 x AA (not included) The foam cone is the star of the show; this is where all the action happens. The fabric membrane is stretched across an opening, through which air is blown.

No, No, No, No, Yes!

LT01 'I bought this for my Grandson and he was totally ecstatic. He just turn 1 years old. His reactions were wonderful.' Squashy 'I’ve bought other 4 AA battery bubble machines and this is ok it not great enough considering how big it is. Children like it though and it doesn’t spill so you can let them wander round the garden with having to watch. The machine.' Rosh 'My son loves this bubble machine, keeps him entertained for ages, very reasonable price would definitely recommend!'

Avison 'I bought this for my Grandson a few weeks ago. He played with it the 1st day, brilliant. The next week he came over and it didn't work. Things were going round but no bubbles. Got in touch with Argos & Chad Valley, had no response from either of them. Absolutely appalling customer service' The bubble blower is lightweight, and its rounded edges are very comfortable to use by small hands. This cool outdoor toy has come in bright colours like green, yellow and blue, making it easy to find if left in the grass. Owenda 'Bought the bubble machine for a granddaughter's visit, she liked it so much she pleaded with us to be allowed to take it home. Lovely toy to occupy a boisterous 5 year old in spring and summer months'Safety is also about operating procedures. During our party, the foam machine was only operated under strict supervision, for limited periods of time. This meant that if there was a leak or a fire, someone was on hand at all times, ready to shut down the machine. Multiple individuals were briefed on what to do in the event of a fire or other malfunction. This included familiarizing the group with the location of fire extinguishers and the house’s electrical switchboard in case it became unsafe to approach the machine to shut it down. With its realistic design and mechanical sounds, this toy will be an ideal birthday present for kids. The leaf blower can be used everywhere, for example in the garden, park, party or you can take it to the beach. Can be played with friends and family. Safety is a big factor when working with a foam machine. In any rig that combines water and electricity, precautions must be taken to avoid risk of electrocution; consequences can be tragic if this is not paid due consideration. Placing the leaf blowers inside a cabinet reduced noise, but also increased operating temperatures. This was closely monitored to avoid fire. Ragga 'I bought this for my grandson. He's been having so much fun making his baby sister laugh and giggle with this.'

If you’ve ever blown bubbles, you’ll be familiar with the basic theory. Create a soap film across an opening, and then blow air through, and it’s possible to form a bubble. Warning:Not intended for human consumption. Avoid swallowing the bubble solution. Follow usage instructions carefully. Chez 'I love this bubble blower, it’s sturdy and blows lots of bubble at the press of a button. It’s Easy to use and doesn’t leak. No spills - great thrills' The water pump has the job of delivering soapy water from the tank to the foam cone, with enough pressure to nicely atomise it through the spray nozzles. Any pump capable of delivering 10 liters per minute with a few meters of head should be suitable, but finding something appropriately specified can be difficult for the uninitiated.Zoek 'Bought this machine first time round and was great. Lasted a good half hour on and off creating great bubbles. We also bought the solution which was fab. The next day, we went to use again and it wouldn’t work. The mechanism was working but it wouldn’t blow bubbles. We changed batteries etc but still nothing. We exchanged it for the same machine the next day. 2nd machine was exactly the same. Worked great for the first day. Next day, wouldn’t blow bubbles. Returned for a gift card.' This bubble gun toy purpose is to produce lots of bubbles for hours of entertainment while keeping children active outside. Thanks to it, kids develop imagination and role-play while playing. We used a plastic barrel that formerly contained food-grade ethanol for wine production, and washed it several times before use. This was lightweight, cheap, and top was easy to cut off so we could drop the pump in. For foam fluid, most DIY builds recommend a 2% mixture of soapy water. This author found success by mixing 5 litres of dishwashing liquid with 250 liters of water. It’s crucial to hit a minimum concentration here; much time was lost wondering why the machine wouldn’t generate foam, until the realization came our mixture was a factor of 10 too dilute.

This toy requires 3 AA batteries which are NOT INCLUDED. This cool bubble leaf blower creates a continuous stream of bubbles thanks to a push trigger. Squeeze and hold the trigger for 30 seconds and let the fun begin. The pistol trigger is easy to operate by kids. ZJ 'This produces a lot of bubbles steadily and is easy for kids or adults to use. Easy to refill.' Kate '21 month old Grandson absolutely loved this especially as he could work it himself. Well worth the price. Bigger than expected too.' This writer would love to spend a year researching the fluid mechanics and engineering factors involved in producing the best possible foams; if you’ve got tips, be sure to share them in the comments. Quite literally, good clean fun.

How Do Foam Machines Work?

Katie 'Only used once and the next day it worked for 5 minutes then stopped blowing bubbles but the kids had fun whilst it did work' Imagine a tub overflowing with bubble bath, except it’s a club dancefloor and music is pumping all night. This is what is known as a “foam party”— a wild and exciting concept that nonetheless many are yet to experience. The concept exploded in popularity in Ibiza in the 1990s, and foam parties are regularly held at nightclubs and festivals the world over. BisouPierre 'Already provided hours of fun for grandson in the first week. Easy for adult to reload bubble mixture, and easy for child to work: a must-have toy for every small child who wants to work with carer or parent in the garden. (Or for use indoors, but I'm probably not allowed to say that). Can't comment on quality yet as it has only survived a week of intensive use ...'
