Sharlity Happy Birthday Helium Balloon Review

They are not easy to blow up. All valves are leaking and do not close properly. I bought them for my flower shop out of desperation after being unable to get them due to a shortage. I will not buy again

Although I finally managed to inflate enough, some leaked and others were very difficult to inflate. Aside from throwing away about 40% of real balloons, some helium is wasted (expensive).

This is exactly what you need, the cylinders lasted for weeks. It was a little difficult to insert the helium cap into the balloon for the initial connection. I ended up using the small hand pump that came with the order to insert it into the balloon valve to open it and then inserted the helium valve after creating the hole with the hand air pump. Everything worked out. Good buy.

They are really cute and look just like the picture. I've only inflated 6 and deflated one right away so I'm not really hoping for the rest. My big issue with them is the smell. You smell horribly! If you use them outside this is not a problem but be aware that inside they will smell. When you throw a party, it gets awkward. I blew them up in the evening and they are just for our family to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I hope the smell goes away soon.

, I worked in a flower shop when I was in college and learned about Hi-Float and how to properly inflate Mylar balloons. As a result, I've become somewhat of a semi-pro thanks to (it was my daughter's 17th birthday) many years of doing this for my 2 kids' birthdays and other holidays. What a disappointment! I blew her on a Monday afternoon and it's Friday at 8:30pm, not even a week later. Only one looks good. Others that look good, like plain latex with hi-floats and disco balls? Not from here!
