Gets stuck after 1 balloonby Jayashree (2 out of 5 stars)
May 23, 2013
When it works, beautiful. How much does it do that? 1-2 balloons and then boom, jam. Yes, it works only with low water pressure but come on, this gets stuck and there is nothing you can do but unscrew and start all over. For all that pain, its the same as filling them by hand.
It gets 2 starts just for the tie mechanism itself. now THAT was a lifesaver.
This is a good idea but could be great improved...by fixing the water pressure and also including sink hose connectors. I cant imagine everyone who loves water balloons MUST have a garden hose.
Back to buy more!

Maybe we've gotten lucky - but we bought two of these last summer, and never have had a single problem! My 4 year old could even tie his own balloons! It is that easy! I am back to buy more for gifts and was surprised to see the negative reviews. We love it and everyone who comes over wants one! Recommend you get bio-degradable balloons!
Cool design, poor performance

Based on the reviews, we decided to make the purchase, because as with many toy items (and other products) I try to take out the super high and super low reviews and find the middle. Unfortunately, like with others in the 1 to 2 star range, it worked for the first 5 balloons, then stopped. Release pressure and worked for 2 more, then finally, nothing at all. We let it go for a day or 2, and I checked it out to see if I could find anything wrong, and it looked fine. Tested it out, and alas, nothing. Looks like we got a bum factory too.
Tying Great, Filling Lousy

This thing is great for tying balloons but as it says in the directions it needs low water pressure and apparently while I thought I had it low it was still too high as the fill nozzle stopped working after one balloon. No matter how low I try it, it still won't work. Like I say in my review title. Filling sucks but tying works like a dream. I no longer have to tie hundreds of balloons for my son and his friends. They just have to use a standard water balloon nozzle to fill.
Waste of time and money!

I spent 40 minutes trying to get this thing to fill the balloons. In that 40 minutes I filled 2 balloons. Complete trash. The tying part is a good idea but it's faster just to do it by hand. The problem has something to do with the pressure of the water, another person who did a review said to get a shut off valve to hook on to the hose so you can control the water pressure. Well I did that and it still didn't work. Bottom line, please don't waste your money.
Stopped working after making 10 balloons.

Do not buy. Like other reviews indicate, the device's valve malfunctions and stops filling balloons rather quickly. We were only able to make 10 before it permanently stopped working. We tried various methods of getting it to work again. No dice. Returned to Amazon.
Great idea, poor quality.

Great idea, but it only filled 15 balloons when the valve inside the toy would allow no more water through it. My kids fumbled to fill the balloons with the garden hose and used this toy to tie them. I gave it as a gift and was unable to return it due to damaged packaging. It was cheap, so I may try another one. The kids realy got a hang of how to tie the balloons with this contraption.

I used last summer and found that it works. There is a learning curve to it before you get fast tying balloons. Water valve get's stuck sometimes.
Now I have broken balloons all over the place :)
I even used degradable type, but degrading process takes to long. I pick up pieces.
Water balloon filler and knotter really works!

I was a bit skeptical because I've been burned by a bunch of these cheap plastic toys -- I have purchased a number of water balloons that come with plastic nozzles that have fallen apart after the first couple of balloons. This water bomb factory, however, worked very well. I clamped the valve to a concrete window sill, and it took me about 10 or 20 balloons before I really got into the groove and was able to then go through the rest of them (filling them) very quickly.
My only complaint is that the water balloons that came with them are a bit thick for water balloons -- they would not pop when they directly hit a person when they are filled to "normal fist" size -- my boys and I had to throw them at the hard floor or a tree to make them pop. That said, I purchased this kit for the valve and not for the balloons -- I purchased this along with the "500-pack water spashers water bombs" that are also available here on Amazon. (Those balloons are perfect -- they fill up to only fist size, and they pop very easily when thrown.)
Amazing! Wish I had one as a kid!

This thing works exactly as advertised. We've filled over a hundred balloons, and no more sore thumb! It does have a drawback, and it notes it in the instruction. You need low water pressure. Turning up the hose too high messes up the pressure nozzle. I easily fixed this by putting in a $2 regulator that goes between the hose and the bomb factory (can buy one at any hardware store, has a regulator on the side so you can just let in a a little water). My 7 yr old was tying balloons literally after a minute of me showing her how, she did an entire bag on her own.
The plastic is sturdy, the clamp is good too. You won't regret buying this, and neither will your thumb. You can literally fill these things as fast as you see in the video.
