Picked this up for my twins' graduation party, we made 28 large balloons and did not run it out of helium. It was hard to get the nozzle open at first, but that is okay, I would rather it be hard to open than to have leaked along the way. Other than that, it was extremely easy to use.

Not happy! Brand new out of the box the rubber piece that the helium comes out of cracked after the first couple of balloons and the helium just leaked out. We tried to stop the leak with tape but nothing worked. We were decorating for my daughters graduation party and we were only able to get some of the balloons blown up before it all ran out.

I purchased this thinking we would be saving money and time blowing up our own balloons the day of my son's 1st birthday party, we were wrong. First off I purchased the Jumbo tank because it stated it would fill more that 50 balloons we were able to fill 10 if that. Within an hour all of my balloons were laying on the floor. My husband had to go to a balloon store and pay over $50 to buy and fill new balloons for my son's party. We were so upset with this purchase and I should have returned for my money back but we threw it away the day of the party! Do not waste your money on this item. Stick to an actual store that fills with %100 helium and will fill as many as you need.

I bought this for my daughter’s bridal shower and Thought I’d get at least 50 balloons out of it, since that is the amount the pkg. provided. I had my own balloons to match my theme and the air ran out after only 11 balloons were filled. The shower was still lovely but I was disappointed about not being able to use the balloons, which were a huge part of the decor.

Well I purchased this for a birthday party & it did in fact adequately fill latex & mylar balloons very well. I did around 30 of the 9inch latex balloons & 2 regular 2 foot long mylar balloons. Great in a pinch & not much time to order & one less errand to run.

My wife purchased this to fill balloons for my birthday and the balloons last more than 4 hours. The first balloon started drooping down after the first hour and then the rest showing started to do the same, not to mention they were more expensive than party city for the same tank.

I called around to see how much it would be to rent a helium tank and it made more sense to buy one that you can dispose of when you are finished. Makes for such an easy party setup when you have the helium at your finger tips and you don't have to drive around town with your car filled with balloons and you cant see out your back window. I will be buying these tanks from Wal-Mart from now on.

I purchased 2 of these for an online pearl party that benefited St.Jude. It was a waste of money. I should have purchased a balloon pump instead, because I would have had the same results. The balloons did not float AT ALL. They remained on the floor. So unless you want to use the helium for a high pitched voice, don't waste your money. I'm extremely disappointed with this product.

Unfortunately on Christmas day. I attempted to blow up all sizes of balloons supposedly with helium. It was so disappointing! They didnt elevate. Some did but quickly dissipated many did not last past 10 min, others lasted but didnt stay up at all. This mixture was not good in the tank. And altho i have a photo that clearly designates my purchase of tank and baloons that dont lift off. This site has greyed area where i would add the photo.

I got this on sale and would not pay full price for it. I followed instructions on when to blow balloons up before event and balloons did not last. Some of the balloons fell before the event started. I used the balloons that came with it and some of my own. It’s too bad it didn’t work out for me.
