Early Learning Centre ELC– Frankie The Bubble Fish Machine – Garden Games Bubble Playset for Children Ages 3 to 6 Years

After reading the reviews i was hesitant. But the baby loves it and so do i. I went to look for batteries and told my bro to open the flaps and was surprised to find him still opening it. I laughed as i said..u having trouble..and he said well the screws go in at an angle (and baby kept pulling it away) which is why some people may have had trouble with it. But i put the cover back on easily enough. Used a bottle of solution from the pound shop and away we went. I would point out that laminated flooring becomes slippery and carpet a little moist from where the fan blows the bubbles out and excess solution. I got it for her party in 2 weeks so fingers crossed it works till then and beyond. But its defo a hit from us...it was also a few quid cheaper than normal which is always a bonus. Although after i wrote the review i went to empty ouy the remaining solution and noticed it was wet on the bottom.....so im now thinking it leaks and it wasnt the best idea to have the battery compartment at the bottom..side or back would of been better

This was bought for my granddaughter and she loves it.

The best bubble machine on the market. Takes a lot of batteries, but makes a huge number of bubbles. Use it with a decent bubble mix and you will fill the garden with pneumatic spheres of joy. Instant fun for parties and useful for mesmerising toddlers. Tempted to buy five of them and make my entire neighbourhood into a bubble blizzard.

I love this toy, my little brother gets so much fun out of it, and so does the rest of the family to be honest because it produces SO many bubbles. I wish it was a little bit quieter, but most of all i wish the liquid didn’t run out quite so quickly, maybe there could be an adjustment made where you could choose between three levels - from little amount of bubbles to medium to loads?

Churns out hundreds of bubbles at the push of a button. Design is very fiddly, however, so you need a long thin cross-head screwdriver to remove all four recessed screws that hold the battery cover in place. This is just poor design. After use the bubble liquid reservoir needs to be emptied and rinsed, which is also more awkward than it should be. Much enjoyed by its target audience, but it won't be coming out very often!

We bought this to use at my daughter's wedding reception. (We also bought a litre of the ELC Giant Bubble Mix to go with it.) The bubble fish is great at generating bubbles at a good rate. They are quite small, but that is because the rings are quite small too. However, the multiple rings mechanism means that there will be plenty of bubbles.Some reviewers have professed themselves unable to open the battery compartment. As you would expect with what is essentially a child's toy, the battery compartment is well protected and there are four screws each of which is sunk some way below surface level. This means that you will need to find a screwdriver with a very fine shank to get it open.

If you like bubbles but don’t like having to wave your arms around like a man on fire then this is the toy for you.These bubbles come out fast and furious to the point you can fill up a room and make it feel slightly claustrophobic.One of the main reasons for just a 4 star review (if you want to know) is the fact it eats up batteries like an original electric car. It’s also a pain having to unscrew the fiddly screws each time to change the batteries.

Bought for my 7 month old, my 3 year old enjoys it too. It doesn’t blow out loads of bubbles, but that could be the bubble solution in using, because I’ve heard that it’s supposed to be amazing and should fill the room with bubbles. It saves me blowing bubbles and getting sticky from the mixture so it works well for what we need!
