Toysmith Many Bubbles Mini Ray Gun (Colors may vary)

I decided to get this after seeing a mother using it in our lobby, and her little girl was just so delighted, twirling under all those bubbles! We were like, we should get that!Though our LO is not able to twirl, or play with this toy himself yet (at 4 1/2 month, go figure), his face does light up every time when he sees us blowing bubbles towards him.The little fan works great, and it's made of some kind of soft foam, so, when he can play with it, we won't need to worry about injuries. And it does generate a lot of bubbles, with one dip, using my husband's words, "bubble technology has come so far, since I was a kid."It takes a double A battery which does come with, and so far, it doesn't seem to require too much battery power to run, given how much we've been using it. Yes, right now, it's as much a toy for us as it is for our LO. We get to blow bubbles (without exhausting ourselves), and see our LO laugh all at the same time! What's not to like?We have also tried other solution with it, I don't think it generates as many bubbles, but they all seem to work fine.

This product was such a waste of money. It is battery operated but not powerful enough to blow bubbles. I should have heeded the reviews I read. I recall reading one review where the person said her child loved it and I based my purchase on this one review (wishful thinking). All the other reviews were right when they said the bubble gun just did not work. My bubble gun is now in the garbage.

We used these to add some fun - and bubbles - to a rest stop for a charity bike ride. They never failed to put smiles on the faces of the riders and other passers-by. Children were enthralled with the bubbles. Output is prodigious albeit only for a few seconds at a time. Drawbacks are slight: You need a Philips screwdriver with a small head to open the battery bay door. It's too easy to leave the printed insert in the bubble solution cup, and that winds up absorbing some of the solution. So many people asked where we bought these. Naturally we told 'em! Recommended for fun for all ages.

Bought this for a regular event where my wife and I help out watching about 10 small children. They loved the bubbles. However, I didn't realize that you would have to dip the gun in the bubble solution after every shot of bubbles. I've seen other guns that rotate a series of wands through the bubble solution, and are self-priming. So, this one is cheap, but realize that you have to frequently dip the front in solution.Also, the bubbles are pretty small (1 inch). Which means that the kids grow bored after a while. They like BIG bubbles. However, when you blow bubbles manually, the solution gets all over your clothes, as the frequently pop close to you.So, bottom-line: Easier and less messy than blowing bubbles manually, but the bubbles are small, and you do a lot of dipping.

It was very hard to insert the battery. The lid of the battery compartment would not close properly, the battery could not reach the connectors properly and the toy would not work. We had to glue the compartment to make the battery work, and threw the toy away after the battery went "dead", very soon. The idea of the toy is great. It'd have been a lot of fun, if it had worked properly.

Purchased this to bring along to a festival, and it worked great! Everyone loved playing in the surprising amount of bubbles it creates~It uses a dipping tray for the bubble solution, and said tray has a small spout so you can pour any remaining solution back into the bottle. Other then to typical drip from dipping the wand into the solution, it's pretty much mess free!The gun itself is very light-weight, but seems to be very sturdy and well made. I know I'll be able to use this for years to come~

I bought this bubble gun to use with my Sunday School kids and they just love it. Very easy to use. Durable. And makes LOTS of bubbles. The bubbles never go inside the gun so it doesn't gum up; you just dip in the little dispensing dish provided and push the button on the back. I always rinse it when I am through. I am sure kids could use this too. I reviewed a lot of bubble guns before I found this one and it was well worth the wait!

We got these for a bubble day at the park. We put batteries in and when you pressed the button, the fan wasnt strong enough to make even one bubble come out :( so disappointed.
