Balloon Time Disposable Helium Kit,Tank 14.9 cu.ft - Plus an Ultra Hi-Float - 50 Balloons and Ribbon Included

I was worried purchasing this tank because the mixed reviews. You need to press nozzle down slowly to fill balloons up slowly! My first balloon popped because I pressed nozzle down to hard and helium came out too fast. Used the helium at 5pm yesterday and this review is written 24 hours later..... balloons are still flying high. Filled up about 24 balloons and still have more helium left in the tank.

This product is trash!!! Only half the balloons float then they deflate within 1 hour of blowing them up! They won’t allow me to return….ill never buy this again. Ruined our balloon arch, not to mention the added stress. Mine as well blow them up or pay a store.

Great value! Here are some info points:+ I used the Ultra Hi-Float treatment. Filled the balloons four days ago and they are still going strong, happily sitting on the ceiling in my living room.+ There was enough helium in the tank to fill all 50 balloons.+ Don't use more than half a pump of hi-float or the balloon will be too heavy and won't rise+ Do inflate the balloon until it goes into "light bulb shape"; if you don't put enough helium in it, it won't rise+ There is pleeeenty of ribbon inside, much more than I needed+ You will get random colors for the balloons, not the same number of each color. I had like 2 green ones, 2 yellow ones but a huge number of red and orange ones.+ I hand-tied each balloon and then fastened some of the ribbon to it, mostly because it looks pretty with a little bit of the ribbon+ The balloons are surviving very well indoors but I also tied some balloons in my yard and those popped the next day. I believe they popped because they were in the sunlight and got too hot. Thus, ...+ ... keep these balloons away from heat, whether it be sunlight or a heat vent.+ One balloon randomly popped while I was inflating it. Be prepared for that. Not a big deal but make sure that, if you use the hi-float, you are not working on a surface that will get damaged by it.+ Two balloons randomly popped during the 48 hours after I inflated them, no identifiable cause. Not a big deal, just be prepared.+ The helium tank is really easy to use. Just make sure the nozzle goes deep enough into the neck of the balloon, so the balloon doesn't just slide off. You also don't have to open the tank four turns. You can do like 3, if you want the helium to come out more slowly.+ The nozzle on the hi-float was broken when it arrived. There was only a little bit of nozzle left and it did not go deep enough in the neck of the balloon. So I taped a piece of a straw on the remaining nozzle to make it longer. That worked. Hurray for improvisation.UPDATE:It is now 3 weeks after I filled the balloons. About a quarter of them are still happily clinging to the living room ceiling!!! And more than half of the balloons lasted for two weeks. Almost all of the balloons lasted for more than a week.UPDATE:I filled the balloons over a month ago. 8 balloons are still going strong. This is incredible.

Didn't provide quite as much helium as stated but it seemed to be the standard after reading reviews for this and other similar tanks. So we were careful to monitor the usage.

Easy to use. I was nervous to buy this after reading the bad reviews about the helium and how the balloons didn't stay inflated but I have not had an issue. The latex balloons stayed inflated for over 12 hours (some >24hr) and the foil balloons are still going strong almost 30hr after blowing them up. And we didn't even use the ultra hi-float.Update: 2 months later & the foil balloons are finally deflating.

I bought this to blow up balloons for a baby shower. My plan was to be able to blow the balloons up 24 hours in advance so I wouldn’t have to do it day off. I paid extra for the high flow. Sadly, it was a waste of money. The balloons stay inflated for a long time but the high flow solution is so thick, it weighs the balloons upside down. Kind of defeats the purpose of helium. The manual goes through a whole bunch of troubleshooting, but none of it works. Also the pump came broken. I was still able to use it but it was in pieces when I got it. The helium tank worked perfectly so I just ended up blowing up the balloons day off. I’d recommend the tank but not the high flow solution.

Why would you include colored balloons in a helium tank package that don’t stay inflated. I blow these balloons up last night at 9 o’clock for a celebration today came downstairs and all of the balloons didn’t have helium in it. Completely ruined the event and a complete waste of time. I don’t use the balloons included in this package by separate balloons. Also, the package came with a liquid guaranteeing inflation will last longer, and the liquid pump did not work.

I read every review, every tip, and every complaint. At that point I had to buy it and see for myself. There is a helium shortage and our local stores seemed to always be out of helium, so I purchased this item for my friends baby shower balloons. November 11 we filled 4 regular mylar balloons and one large mylar. We also filled 11 latex balloons. I used high float that it came with, 1/2 pump, squeezed it around inside balloon before filling.It worked great! November 17, I used the tank again for my daughter's birthday party. We filled 8 latex balloons. They are still going strong today, December 1! See attached picture. I'm assuming I can use the tank again for our next party!The product was great and the high float worked great.My suggestions and info I got from other reviews:1/2 pump high float for latex, squeeze around inside balloon before filling, need to fill bigger will float right away, if you fill smaller, will float after high float dries.Mylar balloons, make sure slid on nozel all the way so you don't waste heliumFinally, fill slowly so you don't waste
