Bunch O Balloons Rapid-Filling Grenades

Easy to fill but it is not noted that you should fill them in a water filled container, which I knew from previous experience. With these, 6 balloons of each cluster, on average, broke while being filled. And that was in a water filled container. Several of the filled balloons developed pin holes and broke before they could be used. Disappointed with that but it is still soooo easy to fill many balloons quickly and have a blast.

Kids of all ages love these. Just hook to the hose and fill your bucket with ballons. My older kids go though them very quickly but one bundle will last my two year old 20 minutes!

Kids love them! They fill in secs, no problem. My boys love that they look like grenade, I love that they blend in with our grass and don't see them after the fun is done.

I feel they are a little pricey but way better than filling up individual balloons. Fast and convenient. One or two may pop on filling. I filled over a tun of water so they were less likely to pop. Kids and adults had a blast using them

Holy cow! I’ll never fill water balloons one at a time again. I have used this brand twice now for a huge reward party at my high school to celebrate students with good behavior and for maintaining all Cs and above. We do an outside water themed party each May and the grand finale is a water balloon fight. The students and teachers love it!! I have about 275 that qualify every 9 weeks… So I have to have LOOOOOTS of water balloons. I get the small baby pools and fill them 1/5 of the way full with water so the balloons are less apt to pop. Bunch-o-Balloons makes the best. Did some pop, yes, but that was more operator error than the balloon’s fault! I’ll continue buying these every year I’m in charge of these events.

I love the color of these, because you cannot see them all over the place after you’ve had an epic water balloon fight with the kids. 10/10 on the fun and giggles for all ages. And obviously they’re so quick, I can’t believe we used to fill these things up by hand. We had hundreds of them in a big bucket in minutes and we smashed them all over just as fast.

We got these for a big water war for kids. Unfortunately, a lot of the balloons burst while being filled up and were not able to be used. Probably 1 out of every 10 balloon would either pop or have a small hole in it and could not be used.

These worked perfectly and the kids enjoyed them tremendously! I almost didn't get them because of negative reviews about too many duds, but we had very few that didn't function properly (for the price, I think that these were well worth it). I would definitely buy these again.

My setup was a small inflatable kids pool, filled with 6” of water, garden hose with a shutoff valve screwed on to the output end of the hose. That valve was almost essential to being to fill these balloons by myself. The good: a lot quicker than filling balloons by hand. A good size for younger kids. Decent value when compared to if I had to fill and tie them all by hand. The bad: The green color is hard to see in the grass - makes clean up of broken balloons harder. The break rate / filling experience isn’t great - out of the 6 bundles we filled 4 so far: The first bundle filled very unevenly with half being full while half were completely flat. I manually pulled off the half that were full and turned up the hose and the other half inflated. Most survived the inflation, but then a couple minutes later I heard a couple pop just from floating in water in an inflatable kid pool. The second bundle filled better - I swished the balloons around under water first to fan them out. Although they still filled unevenly it wasn’t as bad as the first bunch. Third bunch - several random ones popped while filling long before near the expected size, others fell off the sticks. Fourth bunch - lowest success rate - many had pin holes, others fell off sticks, several just broke while trying to add water. In all of the above due to uneven filling it requires keeping watch and removing the balloons one by one as they get full. As fewer balloons remain the water leaks out of the straws but keeping them underwater seems to help a bit. There is enough air in the balloons/straws that all of the balloons had a air bubble, even after running the air out of the hose before filling. The directions which say to shake the balloons loose from the sticks all together seems impossible since they need to get removed as they get full. So the rest can also inflate. Instead a watchful attention is needed to remove each one. This is still better than inflating them one by one, but plan on it being harder than advertised and many broken ones. Each stick set has 35 balloons. On average, we lost about 5-7 balloons per bunch during the filling process due to issues/defects. They are super thin and several popped simply by floating in water.

We have used bunch of balloons before with success but these were terrible. We would fill them up and about half of each bunch would pop before they were filled. Im not sure what was different about this style but we filled them in the exact same spot as the last time we bought some from the store, same brand. Very disappointed kids.
