Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers have different views on the balloon quality. Some say it's durable and shoots balloons far, while others mention it only flies about 200 yards, the free balloons are low quality, and it can pop the balloons when launched.

My husband is a teacher and bought these for a fun water day with his class. He said they are fantastic and the kids had fun collaborating to launch the balloons.

Very good product. It takes 3 adults that really get them out there but this thing throws the balloons far. Probably should not hit anybody with them as we had someone 100 yards out to see what it felt like to get hit with one at that distance and it was not pleasant.
Not even close to the advertised 500 yards. Probably barely made 50 yards. Kept pulling it back farther to try and get more distance and ripped the handle right off. The handle was attached to where you put the stuff you're launching, so then it was just a big hole and completely unusable. The slingshot that this was replacing I used several times a year for about ten years. This one lasted about 10 minutes. Junk!
Used it for a 6th grade class picnic and it broke before the party was over. UPDATE: The seller read my review and contacted me to ask if they could send me a new one since it should not have broken so easily. It arrived today and I will save it for next year's end of school picnic. Thanks for the great customer service. If it lasted 3/4 of the way thru our class picnic it should last an average family a loooong time! Great fun and the kids LOVE IT!
It’s a fun launcher. Definitely worth the money but I don’t know about 500 yards. I got it to go 250 feet when I tested it. Maybe if you have some big guys doing it. But it feels kinda risky when you pull it back super far because of the chance of getting whipped if it snaps.
