Qualatex Hand Held Air Inflator - Double Action Balloon Pump

Saves a lot of time blowing up balloons. I gave it 4 stars because you need to be careful how you place the balloon on the tip or they will pop. Need to smooth the edges.

This little thing worked very well for us. Probably two summers use out of it. It may still work but no one has wanted to have balloon races for a while.

Loved the double action balloon pump. Its easy for use by an adult however a bit tough for kids under 10. But on the bright side once the kids realize how fast they can fill air in the balloon they feel motivated to use it and along the way get a good exercise for their muscles. Definitely recommended specially if you are going to be making balloons for lot of kids in a party, for example.

I bought this to inflate balloons for my daughters 7th birthday party at home. I left it out along with a bag of balloons. The kids found it, and they stated inflating balloons on their own. The kids were more interested in this inflation device than anything else. Who knew... another mom told me she wanted to take it home, because her daughter loved it so much.

So far, seems like a decent pump at a decent price. My kids like balloons and since buying a bunch of different styles and doing some basic balloon twisting, needed a decent pump. Had a cheaper one before the broke, this one looks more sturdy

Worked as advertised. I was up the night before my daughters birthday, and blew up 100 balloons with ease and without having a headache from blowing up by mouth. The balloons were easy to tie (these were regular, round balloons, not ones for making animals with) and lasted several days. Each balloon took just a few pumps and it was ready to go.

While this pump is perfect for me, my wife says that the diameter is too large for her hands. I also let kids pump up balloons and this pumper is too big for them. Id like to see them come out with a similar version but in a smaller size. The 260s fit on it and it does larger balloons well.

Ive bought many balloon pumps (at least 4 others) in my time doing balloon animals, but this is by far the best. Other pumps break quickly, are cheap plastic, inflate slowly, or always require two hands to inflate a balloon. I have used many other brands of both pumps and balloons, and none are better than Qualatex. Spend a little more money and get this quality product! I have a custom balloon apron for my supplies when I walk around, and I never have to remove this pump from my apron due to the one hand operation. However, when I do use two hands, I can quickly put this pump under my arm and the large base makes it easy to hold until I need it again. This pump also speeds up the time it takes to inflate 2 twisty balloons, meaning you can make balloons faster when crowds are large. I received the exact color shown in this picture. PROS: - one hand operation - inflates in both directions - air enters the balloon when moving pump both out and in - plastic, so sturdy construction but lightweight to carry around for many hours - grips on handle are ergonomic and prevent slippage CONS: - is not as slim as some balloon pumps, but the quality and speed of inflation completely nullified this issue for me - some sellers ship random colored pumps (other than what is pictured) to you - NOTE: I received the exact color pictured in this listing!

Like it definitely better than my old balloon pump. A little more on the price but it worth every penny. Qualatex brand . Very sturdy.
