Review on Yellow Electric Air Balloon Pump, AGPtEK Portable Dual Nozzle Inflator/Blower for Party Decoration by Kelly Sadiq

Great for inflating lots of balloons with AIR

I learned that the group that decorates shows, dances and other halftime events always inflates balloons with their mouths. I have a commercial model from 20 years ago but I didn't want to spend that much. I found this device and decided it was worth a try for around $20. The teacher and the kids love it. Every time I see a teacher he says he can't believe they never had that. They liked it so much that I bought them a second device. A few notes about the operation that I thought weren't clear in the description. There are 2 points for inflating balloons. If you plug it in and don't turn it on, one of them will turn it on when you press the socket. There is no such switch in the second outlet. When you turn it on, it blows constantly. It was much harder for us to use it all the time. In fact, you can easily inflate 2 balloons at the same time by two people. One person holds a balloon over an unswitched outlet while the other person presses the outlet. This usually results in the balloons being the same size. It takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, you can inflate a lot of balloons very quickly. Depending on how you tie the balloons, you can easily inflate over 100 balloons in 5-10 minutes. This has been said in many reviews and answered in the questions section, but I think it's worth repeating. This machine simply blows air into the balloon as if you are holding a balloon to your mouth and inflating it. Balloons DO NOT float. People noticed that the photos in the description show floating balloons. What is actually shown is a balloon attached to an "air stick". This is usually a 24 inch plastic stick with a disc on top to hold the balloon. As a result, you will get a balloon that seems to be floating. Balloons float, but they are only on a stiff stick that is not attached to a string. The sticks are reusable and can be a very inexpensive alternative to using helium. If you want the balloon to float, you need to fill it with helium gas from a compressed helium tank. The devices hold up well to school use, so they should work well in most other cases.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Obsolete
