Q: I would like to order this machine . But is this good for helium quality ballons like does this machine make my balloons float in the air ?

submitted by Jamie F - 8 years ago

  • A: Yes. It works fine with "helium quality balloons." Does it make them float? Not unless you place them above it in the airstream to make them float. A gadget this size that's capable of nuclear fission for dispensing helium would be quite an accomplishment. Sadly, not in this century.

    submitted byfred - 8 years ago

  • A: This is an air pump. It fills the balloons with air not helium, so they won't float.

    submitted byDNiven - 7 years ago

Q: Does this electric blow up balloon also tie the balloon? Or do we have to tie the balloons manually?

submitted by Cirious - 1 year ago

Q: Can it be used on balloon animal balloons?

submitted by Lena - 2 years ago

  • A: This is just a guess but it probably depends on the size of the blow hole

    submitted byMatt - 1 year ago

Q: How many balloons can I fill 12 inch balloons

submitted by Ann - 7 years ago

  • A: Unlimited. This is an electric pump that fills the balloons with air. There is no tank, so as long as you have electricity you can fill as many balloons as you want. It is a great time saver.

    submitted byDNiven - 7 years ago

Q: How noisy/loud is this machine?

submitted by JujuJewels - 7 years ago

  • A: It is about as noisy as a hand held vacuum.

    submitted byDNiven - 7 years ago

Q: Is this balloon tank a helium tank?

submitted by Samad Q - 8 years ago

  • A: It is not a tank, it is an air pump. It fills the balloon with air not helium.

    submitted byDNiven - 7 years ago

Q: Will this work with mylar/ orbz balloons?

submitted by mowanalee - 8 years ago

  • A: The instruction sheet says not to, but I don't see any reason why not. I suppose because mylar self-sealing valves can be flimsy.

    submitted byfred - 8 years ago

Q: Does this machine just blow them up or will thy also help them to stay up floating

submitted by Linda - 8 years ago

  • A: This blows up latex balloons with air, not helium. Saved me a TON of time blowing up balloons for my son's birthday party last week. Love it!

    submitted byMattnRae - 8 years ago

Q: Is this a helium tank or just blows balloons with regular air?

submitted by Question - 8 years ago

  • A: This only inflates with air, not helium. That being said, it saved me a TON of time not having to blow up balloons by mouth for my son's birthday party!

    submitted byMattnRae - 8 years ago

Q: My balloons are very tough to blow up, is it powerful enough to blow them up? They are latex balloons but very thick/high quality
