ZURU Bunch O Balloons, Fill in 60 Seconds, 350 Water Balloons, 20" Water Balloon Bowl Included

We used a different brand at camp and they worked wonderful. This brand was easy to fill, but after a few minutes, many of the balloons lost their water and went flat.

These balloons were a complete waste of money because the deflated so quickly. I can only hope that I will be able to get my money back since it was school money that we had fundraiser. Unfortunately we threw the box away in the school dumpster so not sure if it will be possible. We ended up having to go buy another pack of these at Costco and fill them up just a a few minutes before the event so they wouldn't deflate. The whole process was very stressful. What it comes down to is their simply is a design flaw in these. The rubber bands do not hold the balloons tightly enough closed to keep the water in. If you aren't going to use them the very moment you fill them up, which normally isn't possible, then they are not a viable option.

Buyer beware! Quick, easy water balloons--seems like a novel idea. Do not buy these balloons if you have any intention of not using them IMMEDIATELY! While the package insert says "use within 3 hours", trust me, that's more like 3 minutes! They do not hold water and can't be refilled. I bought a pack of 350 for a 2nd grade end of year party at my kids school when I volunteered to be in charge of the water balloons. I filled half of them before noticing just 20 minutes later they were empty and useless. I filled the rest and hand tied them until my fingers bled! Was still over 100 balloons short of the number needed for the reward they had earned in school.

I wish I had known a couple of things before I used these.1. They are SO EASY and SO FAST to fill up. This part is awesome and deserves a 5/5!!2. The "bucket" that comes with this set is a joke and piece of crap. I threw it away.3. BIGGEST THING TO KNOW!!!!! Don't fill these up until you are ready to use them!!!!! I filled them about an hour before my son's party so I didn't have to worry about it DURING the party and by the time we were ready to use them, most of the water had leaked out and we could only use about 10% of them. THat part was a HUGE let down.

I bought this for my daughter birthday party, it arrived like it said, the box was undamaged, looks just as described, however we filled them up about an hour before the party to have them ready, put them in a large container with water so that they would float, didn't take long to fill them up they broke off like they were suppose to, but about 20 minutes after we filled the up we went to finish setting up my daughter was like MOM all the water had came out of the balloons. There was just a pile of empty balloons floating on the top of the container, with the exception of a few. now the balloons didn't have a hole in them, because the kids took them a blew them up, the rubber band thing failed on practically all of them. I would guess that if you used them as soon as you put water in them they would probably sufice, but if you can't use them right away you won't be able to at all. I wounldn't ever buy this again.

The kids love these balloons. I know it may cost a little extra to purchase these instead of the old fashion water balloons where you have to tie each one individually. Your fingers will appreciate it and the time saved is well worth it.NOTE: It does take some practice to get the balloon just right. This batch comes with a tub for the water balloons. I’ve never used it since we still own a very small plastic pool used with my child was an infant. The trick is to turn the water on softly, as the balloons start to expand place the balloons down on a surface, then increase the pressure of the water to about medium. Once the balloons get to the size recommended on the box just simply shake the hose. If the balloons are too small they don’t bust as easy, so you will want to make sure they are really large. Periodically, you will need to shake them off sooner because some of the balloons with start to burst.Anyway, after a few practices you’ll never go back to regular water balloons… Absolutely worth the monies.

This was a let down for me. Although the process of filling the balloons was simple the water would not stay in the balloons and they were the hardest ever to bust. Yes we tried various levels of "full" but the more water we filled the balloons with the more water would seep out. I actually get the balloons to bust you were darn near putting welts on people. We had to resort to througing them at the feet of people which to me is no fun.

This product is great! Cant stand the manual pumps and they are so gard to tie! However the price was beyond riduculus. Thought i was getting more than i did as larger packs are cheaper on here. 50$ for 350 balloons? Rip off!!! I went with it as it has fast enough shipping (under a week) for my kiddos party
