Our 14 month son loves watching the bubbles come out of this toy. With the right bubble solution the Bubble Bellies makes an endless stream of bubbles (more on this below). My wife or I can keep him entertained for 15 minutes or more blowing bubbles into the wind, building piles of bubbles on ground, or doing other bubble activities.
As other reviewers have mentioned, the Bubble Bellies can break. Our first one died when I over filled it; the directions say only to fill it to 2/3 full, but I topped it off. A lot of fluid got inside, which probably shorted something out. Before it died, we had used it every day for those 3 months at least 15 minutes a day.
Our son loved this toy so much that I ordered a 2nd (and actually a 3rd at the same time as a backup, in case the 2nd ever broke). We’ve been running the 2nd one for a month now with no problems.
The tricky thing is finding a bubble solution that works in this machine. The bottle that comes with the Bubble Bellies will last maybe 15 minutes of non-stop operation. Then you have to find replacement fluid. We’ve tried five different types. The best is “Gazillion Bubble Solution”, which works just like the original included solution - an endless bubble stream. “Pustefix” also works, but is much more expensive and is used up much faster. Other solutions will do nothing; they’re too thick or thin to coat the bubble-forming-ring properly.
Note: After buying the two replacement Bubble Bellies, I was able resurrect our 1st, original, dead Bubble Belly. With nothing to loose, I removed the batteries and then immersed the entire toy for about 15 minutes in clean water. I was guessing that the excess solution was shorting out the motor and wanted to clear it all out. I then drained it out and placed it in front of a fan for an hour to speed and complete the drying. Slapped in some batteries and it fired up again. Now we’re entertaining our son with two Bubble Bellies at once!
My 20 month old loves this bubble toy. He loves holding the handle and watching the bubbles stream out. I love it because I don’t have to do anything. But you must use Little Tikes bubble mix - which is hard to find.
