Gazillion Machines Ties You To Gazillion Liquid (which is close to impossible to find!),

This review is from: Gazillion Bubble Machine (Toy)
We've had a number of Gazillion bubble machines.
The first - this one, with an upright rotating set of bubble wands - worked relatively well, but stopped working after maybe a dozen uses. (Granted, one of those uses was for a few hours). When the level of liquid is low, the machine stops making bubbles since it has to pick up enough liquid to cover the wand. We replaced it the next year with the Typhoon machine - this was awesome, produced a huge quantity of bubbles and worked more reliably since the bubble liquid is sucked up and put on the wands, no matter how low the supply of liquid. It has a large reservoir at the bottom so you don't need to fill it very often - it takes a lot of liquid though. Our issue now is getting the liquid. Gazillion liquid does produce the best bubbles - they last well, etc. etc. etc. HOWEVER, very few stores stock the liquid, and except for when I first bought the first machine, no-one stocks large size bottles. Even the online vendors like toys.com who are supposed to have them, never have them in stock (I've been on their notify list for a long time!) I've ended up buying from someone in Canada on eBay - otherwise, buying the smaller bottles at ToysRUs, Target, etc. is just too expensive. Both of these machines don't really work if you try other bubble liquids - other liquids (especially the cheaper kinds in very large size bottles) are much thinner and the liquid drips right off the wands before it has a chance to pass by the blower part to make any bubbles. We're planning to start making our own bubble liquid and hopefully that will cover us. Otherwise, the machines are useless now.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gazillion Bubble Machine (Toy)
My kids used it about 8 times and it stopped working. I didn't read the reviews on amazon.com and did not clean it out after every use. It wasn't the batteries, I swapped out for new ones. They really need to keep the battery compartment sealed so that bubble solution doesn' t leak in. I'd buy it again and maintain it carefully but I would NEVER give it as a gift as kids will be disappointed when it doesn't work on the 5th+ use.
It was really fun while it worked, though.

Yet, another disappointment,

This review is from: Gazillion Bubble Machine (Toy)
We bought this for our daughter 2 weeks ago and when we got home, she absolutely loved it. Following the very simple instructions on cleaning it, I didn't foresee any problems...until we'd had it for about 3 days, when it stopped working. The battery compartment was drenched with bubble solution and no matter how much I have cleaned it since, it will not work. Putting new batteries in it doesn't make a difference.
I expected better, but will look elsewhere for our next bubble machine.
