Review on πŸ’¦ High-Quality Water Sports Balloon Refill - 500 Pack for Nonstop Fun! by Richard Gaines

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Balloons look weird due to rubber deformation and oversized nozzle but at a good price!

I was looking for a collection of inexpensive but quality water balloons for my daughter and came across these. First thing I have to say is that these are functional water balloons - once you fill them with water they can fly up and explode on impact with the ground (but not necessarily people). However, they do have a few drawbacks and are nowhere near the best water balloons I've used. Here are the highlights: BAD NEWS: - FAKE BALLOONS: Pay close attention to the small white spots on the balloons in the product image. These aren't the fun tie-dye patterns I was hoping for, but small deformations in the rubber that squeeze the filled balloons and cause them to lose their convex shape (see image). This does not prevent the balls from exploding. but they don't look good either. ATTENTION NOZZLE: The nozzle that comes with these balloons does not fit in our kitchen sink! This was a pretty big disadvantage as now I have to manually fill each of the balloons with water using a smaller nozzle made from an old syrup bottle. It's quite labor intensive. GOOD NEWS: PRICE: These water balloons are being sold at a great price - almost 65 balloons to the dollar! If you're looking for a cheap way to get lots of water balloons, this is it! MATERIAL / EXPLOSION HAZARD: As I mentioned above, these balloons do pretty well explode when they hit the ground. or other uneven surfaces. However, note that they are pretty unreliable when it comes to exploding people. This is a common trait I've found across many different types of balloons (and probably has something to do with the fact that we throw softer when aiming at our loved ones), but I just wanted to make sure you knew this beforehand to buy! All in all I'm glad I bought them for home use and not for a larger event or party. It would take forever to fill them all without a grommet and they wouldn't look super great afterwards. If you're just looking for a good price these are for you. But if you're proud of your perfect water balloons, maybe look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Pretty package
Cons
  • Some spare change
