Squiggly Balloons (15 Count) - Vibrant & Durable Party Must-Have, Perfect for Ultimate Fun & Excitement for Any Celebration

The whole bag dropped instead of the balloons.
The media could not be loaded. So balloon bags in general are great and super easy and a cheap way to add a little excitement to a party. But the particular bag that I ordered from Amazon didn't actually work. The entire bag fell down. As you will see in the video. I bought two bags, the one from Amazon and then I picked up another one from Zurchers last minute just to add more balloons. The bag I got from Zurchers is the one in front. It worked perfectly and was $2 cheaper than the one from Amazon. And it actually worked. So I was a little disappointed in this one. But they are super easy to fill and hang up. So I would definitely buy another balloon bag, I'll just pick them both up at Zurchers next time.

FUN
I bought this from my son's 2nd birthday.Price:great!Quality: amazing when I did it.. I had a bigger expectation.... but.. for some reason it wasn't as cool. The balloons just fell. I wish I added some flair to it. Like glow in the dark balloons and make it dark with laser lights... and awesome music!! But. I had a budget :DI did not like the balloon air pumper. It was VERY slow. Please get a better air pumper. It will save your lungs.Balloons were small.butyou don't want it to big! So it was perfectSetup: easy! Make sure you can reach the ceiling. Because you will need to hook it up to the ceiling (obviously)..Am I happy I bought this? YES!I got a fun "boomerang" out of it. So did my friends and their kids!

Kids liked it, but some problems
I purchased this balloon drop kit for our New Year's Eve party with my boyfriend's kids, ages nearly 7 and 5. First, the kids were super-excited about the balloons. When they saw the balloons hanging, they immediately wanted to let them loose. It was really cute.I received the kit in a timely fashion, unfortunately, it was damaged in that certain colors of balloons had holes or weak spots. None of the green balloons were useable - all had holes or weak spots such that they exploded when blown up. The yellow balloons also had many weak spots, but I was able to blow up a few of them. The other colors (red, blue, orange) were fine.The kit arrived without any instructions...which I realize, it's self-explanatory to an extent - you blow up the balloons and put them in the large clear bag - but there was nothing about how to hang the bag, or that you need to blow up the balloons before putting them in the bag as the bag hole isn't large enough. Not everyone might realize that before blowing up the balloons. The kit comes with a pump, thank goodness, because there are a LOT of balloons. I didn't realize it before I bought this, but the bag the balloons come in is not really re-useable. The rip chord is sewn into the plastic, and when you let the balloons loose, you rip out the seams. I suppose someone could sew a new rip chord onto the bag, but I'm not that kind of lady. The pump worked really well and, although the bag the balloons are put into is not re-useable, the pump can be re-used for future balloon blowing-up activities, so that's good. I recommend planning well in advance for where you'll hang the kit. We hung it off of our second floor balcony.All in all, this was a good purchase for the amount that I paid. The kids loved it and even the adults had fun hitting/tossing/kicking, etc. the balloons at our party.

Reinforce the mounting points or you will be disappointed.
I have ordered these a couple of times so I should have known better. Instead of the bag opening and releasing the balloons, the whole thing pulled down. If you reinforce the mounting point it will work, but as it is, it is a dud... A couple layers of packing tape over the holes that you tie the bag up will keep the whole thing from coming down, but if you forget... your balloon drop will be a dud. :-(

Works OK on Certain Surfaces, but Loses Its Stick!
We purchased these Balloon Stick Ups for our daughter's 5th birthday party. We were having it at the local Indoor Inflatable Jump Jump Place and we used them in their Party Room. They were easy to stick to the wall and remove after the party and they kept all of the balloons in place during the entire party. We had a family party the next weekend and used them again, and they didn't work as well on our painted walls at home. We ended sticking them on the metal handles and other fixtures. The other negative is that if you use the circle tabs that you feed the balloon tie through, you can really only hang the balloons downward, not pointing up. If you stick them to the middle of the balloon, you can turn the balloon upwards a little better. Overall, these balloon stick ups work OK on some surfaces, but not all, so be aware if you want to give them a try.

3-2-1 drop
We had a birthday party and used this for our balloons. The opening was not big enough to put medium sized balloons through so we had to enlarge the opening. The tabs along one side were very flimsy and 2 of them tore off before we could get the whole thing up. The string to pull open the bag and let the balloons drop did work fairly well. The kids thought it was fun.

Balloon Pump for the 3 years old.
*****Today July 4th/2016 I want to warn everybody do not buy this kit anymore, since the manufacture has change the pump inside this kit. The picture is still show the original pump in the kit, but you will not receive the same pump.The new pump is not as good and it prone to break apart.Do not buy this kit until they put the original pump back. I have been return all these kits. The new kit only good for 2 star.I have included 2 pictures: The pump in the kit is not the same pump as the kit in the sell advertising.The other picture is the pump I bought from this seller. This is the good pump.I hope my review will help other buyer will not make the same mistake. I have been return these kits back to: Amazone, Overstock.com, Joann...I try to buy the original kit, but they switch the kit on me. Do not buy this kit until you are sure that you got the right kit with the right pump.

balloons didnt stay up for very long.. needs ...
balloons didnt stay up for very long..needs to have stronger glue not to damage paint on walls but should still hold up for a few hours for the party. I stuck them up the morning and by midday 3/4 of the balloons had fallen off the wall

Balloon bag
Bought this for my grandsons 8th birthday. Was ok putting it all together, however the pulling the string to release balloons did not work, the whole thing just literally came away from the ceiling! I would not recommend this product!

simple and effective, shame it's single use only
I've bought this a few times now, it easy to set up and works well. I use white Gaffer tape to stick it to the ceiling, which can cause some paint to come off, but I do think it needs strong tape to hold it up (if you do want it to be stuck to the ceiling). Otherwise the rip cord would probably take the whole balloon bag down with it. There are re-useable nets that would make a more environmentally friendly alternative.

Buy dust sheets & rope, far more effective!
When you buy a product that is meant to drop balloons, you'd expect the product to drop balloons and not have the entire product, including balloons fall on your head when pulling the rip cord.On opening the package (which had no instructions) it was clear that the effectiveness of the balloon drop bag was dubious.The opening for the the larger size stated in the description was insufficient, and the cardboard tags attached to the bag to attach to the wall/ceiling were not well secured.Having filled the bag and attached to the wall, we waited for midnight to strike and pulled the ripcords (we bought two) .Basically, the cardboard tags provided no structure for the badly designed rip cord and we had two balloon drop bags land on our head, thank goodness, only balloons. It resulted in us waving the bag around in the air to try and get the balloons out.I'd definitely not recommend this product or ever buy it again.We bought some dust sheets for the rest of the pub, with a bit of rope and masking tape which was far more effective.
