Awesome
I’ve owned a few ballon inflators, and this is by far the best. I love that it suctions to a flat surface and only pumps when pushed on. It blows up balloons super fast and wasn’t as loud as some other pumps I’ve used in the past. Love this machine!
kendra –
must for decorating!
it did start to get pretty warm after about 10 balloons, but not to the point of overheating like some mentioned. super easy to use, like literally fool proof. helped so much for setting up my boyfriends birthday decorations. i blew up like 60 balloons in just about 20 minutes. would’ve most definitely passed the heck out without this. and i can re use it for my baby shower coming up. i’ll never regret this $15
Bri –
Just buy it already
Compact size but very powerful. Very noisy but my kids slept through it, so no complaints. Wish I would have invested in this earlier.
Lorielle –
Works well
Did the job of blowing up many balloons for our party, while saving our breath. lol!

Skinny Balloon Fail
I like how it works on regular balloons, but cannot inflate long skinny balloons.
Liv –
Broke within minutes
This pump didn’t even last long enough for me to finish a balloon garland. Had to go purchase a different one in a rush for a party I was hosting. Completely forgot to return right after the party and by the time I remembered, it was too late. Waste of money.
sorsun –
Useful, practical but…
Practical but you need to know the tricks to use it effectively. Tilt the whole thing sideways a bit so it does work properly. It gets tired and pretty warm after 50th balloon or so (LOL) if you’re making an arch or something. Good overall and useful.
B –
Cheap
Not a strong motor/battery at all it started over heating within 10 minutes of use
Samantha –
Love it!
very good!I use 2 hours make this gate. Just getting a little bit warm when use it more than 1 hour. But works!

Game Changer
If you’re going to be blowing up balloons, YOU NEED THIS! Makes life 1000x easier.
Ricaea –
Gets hot fast
This machine gets hot super fast. I blew up a third balloon when I noticed it was hot. Considering the price you would think you would be able to blow up more than two balloons.
Target girly –
Cheap
Got it out of the box and it didn’t even work. Tried multiple outlets that worked for other electronics fine so I know it was the pump. Returning
Kvinny35 –
Hit or miss
Definitely will fill balloons but sometimes it doesn’t and I’m doing everything right. Suctions on base are great to keep it in place but not much better than the battery powered one.
Mimimi –
Disappointed. Unable to pump double stuffed, long, or larger tough balloons. Before you think I’m crazy expecting that the $15 pumps from A mazon can do it all!
Can’t blow up tougher ballons
Janay0300 –
It runs hot
It works but it gets hot
Target12 –
Not for me
Tried multiple sizes of balloons and could not get anything to inflate
Nicole –
Saved my lungs
A life saver for parties! The motor does overheat every 10ish balloons so be careful with that
MM –
Life saver
This thing is a miracle worker. Bought this to help build balloon arches and it has made the job 100% easier. I no longer have to blow up the balloons myself and it doesn’t take as long to finish the arches. It is a little loud, but it’s totally worth it! It comes with a variety of attachments as well for different balloon sizes ☺️
Mom –
Worth it!!!
So easy! Worth every penny and then some. Used with the 80 balloon arch. Can’t imagine doing that without this handy gadget!!
Mattie –
Buy this!
Absolutely amazing. Blew up 600 balloons to fill up an office and never quit for the two hours. It’s worth every penny.
Jane –
You need this!
An essential part of any party! I love not having to feel light headed anymore blowing up balloons! I can’t believe it took me so many years to finally buy this.
Pink –
Okay , works
Does the job , i had to stop using it to let it cool down between uses because it heats up pretty quick and pops balloons with the hot air . But its easy to use and fast.

Return
It popped multiple balloons and brought in hot air. Returned it

Easy to use – just noisy
Very effective but just loud. Overall easy to use, fast, user friendly. Just super noisy so be cautious.

Stop working after 20
Quality is bad it has a bad smell while inflation
Natasha –
I like it
I used this first time and it is amazing. Earlier it takes hours to blow up the balloons but now it takes just a seconds to do it. Thanks
amber37 –
Worth it!
This little machine was well worth the money! It does it’s job and makes things so much easier!
Ooohthatssquishy –
Awesome.
Where has this thing been all my life? So efficient. Yeah, it’s loud. But as an itty bitty air compressor, what can you expect? Worth every penny.
Maile –
Fast but loud!
Blows up balloons very quickly BUT ITS LOUD. Don’t expect to use it discreetly.
Aliebs –
Do not waste your money
Doesn’t inflate balloons like it should. Air leaks out the side. It also gets really hot… not a great pump.

Good product
Very pleased with this product! Made setting up for parry quick and easy

Awesome!
I love this little guy! I blew up about 20 balloons with it in a very short amount of time. Super easy to use.
Kay –
Worth it
Filled up balloons fast! The only balloons I couldn’t seem to work with it was the really skinny long ones from Dollar Tree. Overall very happy with it!
Liz –
Perfect
Perfect for a party! Flew up ballon easily and quickly.
Party Mom –
Great product
This little guy blew up all my balloons in seconds! I also liked the suction cups on the bottom – it didnt slide around when pressure was applied. My lungs were saved. It’s also compact and easy to store.
MamaDull –
Must buy!
Love love love! Just like every other review on here says, this is a must! It works amazing, it’s small, has two connectors and did an amazing job at blowing up the latex and foil balloons we had. It took me only about 15 mins to blow up 50 balloons. This thing is worth every penny.
Leegomz –
Timesaver!
Total timesaver for our kids’ birthday party esp when making balloon garlands

Well worth it! Buy it!
We did 6 balloon arches for my granddaughter’s 11th birthday and this was a life saver. Well worth the money!

5k Stars
There are not enough stars for this machine. I purchased for my daughters birthday to make 2 different balloon arches and oh my gosh! I made the darn thing in 20 minutes. We have since used this pump for balloons, pool toys, air mattresses, & kids toys. Worth every penny, I could sell these things if it was an MLM.
Lynn –
7 star!
OMG!! What a life saver! 144 balloons filled in less than 20 minutes!! I needed this yearssss ago!!

Balloon pump
It was a huge help but the pump does seem to get hot after using for a while and did pop a few balloons. Although, it may have been the quality of my balloons.
Satisfied customer –
Decent, gets the job done.
It does the job but is really loud and gets hot if not we’ll positioned with good airflow.

Game Changer
This little air pump is a game changer!! I don’t know how I got through so many parties in the past without this little gem! Blew up 100 balloons in no time! Love it and would highly recommend it!
Targetlover21 –
Love it!
It was super fast when blowing up the balloons and the suction cups held it securely on the table made my balloon garland set up fast as can be.
La –
So it will blow up larger balloons but the small balloons 5” and so (those filler balloons in a balloon garland) it just wouldn’t inflate no matter how hard I tried it’s not strong enough for that. And it’s super loud. Air escapes everywhere and it’ll over heat and shut off if you over do it.

Air leaks from the sides
Air leaks from the sides. Had to return it

heats up
Was heating up to the point were I had to wait for it cool down every 5 minutes. I was still able to blow the balloons but it took a while.
Cam –

Easy to use and such a time saver!

1.5 Parties
It was great for 1.5 parties. I filled 20 balloons first party, 4 balloons for second party…then it broke. There is no on/off switch…it just literally stopped working for filling balloons all of a sudden.
Kennedy009 –
Great Balloon Pump
This pump works great! It helped me fill up balloons quickly to make a balloon arch for my son’s birthday. I also like that this little machine has suction cups on the bottom of it so that it doesn’t slide around when filling up balloons. Great quality and happy with this product. The price could be a little more affordable though.
sharrell –
Worth every dollar
This pump is great! I was able to blow up tons of balloons in such a short amount of time. This is one of those items that I can’t believe I lived without for so long! The pump comes with a few valves you can change out to fit different sizes of balloons which is very helpful when doing balloon installations. Highly recommend you get this pump! It’s such a time (and cheek) saver
MrK –
Great product and good price
Works great, easy to use and compact. Love the attachments that came with it as well for different types of balloons. Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a better alternative to helium
Blue cupcake –
So far so good
We used this to blow up a ton of balloons for a birthday celebration. Worked great. Fingers crossed it’ll do the job just as well for many more celebrations to come.
kshore –
Used this to make a balloon garland. I would say this is a must-have!
KBK –
Don’t hesitate, just buy it
I don’t often review items, but this one deserved praise. We had dreams of a balloon arch for our sons first birthday and after realizing it was 100 balloons to inflate, looked at using pumps that we had at our house already. After nothing seemed to work, we did a Target run for this guy and it was the best money we’ve spent all year. So worth it. If you’re contemplating it, just do it. I’m cheap and didn’t think it was necessary, but it was a sanity saver the night before the “big” covid style bash!
Whytegurl –
I love it!Easy to use blew up 30 balloons in less than 7 minutes
Aly100 –
This thing is awesome and SO small which is even more awesome!!!! Despite being small in size it does exactly what it should and I was able to blow up 100 balloons in minutes!! I honestly don’t know why I ever waited so long to buy one of these! Life changer for sure!
SS –
Works Great! Definitely recommend
CR –
This is not a helium inflator the balloons will drop. When I was searching for a helium pump this came up so the balloons will not float. Other than that it’s a good product if you don’t mind that
MamaBear –
loud but it worked great! very fast
marvel13x –
So Quick and Easy!!!
Just bought this tonight because I had almost 100 balloons to fill for a birthday party tomorrow. I had been contemplating how to blow them up, store them, then move them all where they needed to go. Honestly, this thing blows them up so fast I can just fill the balloons on demand when needed. Simple to use, plug it in, put the balloon over one of the two included nozzle adapters, then just push down. Lift up when done and tie the balloon off. A 12” balloon was filled in literally 2.63 seconds.
Chris_tina317 –
Worked phenomenally well, did the job and did it quickly. Has several different size nozzles to allow you to blow up many different things.

Blows up balloons with a little delay. Not fast. Tons of air escapes on the side.

Blew up my balloons so fast! Works really great, better than a competitors I bought elsewhere.

Love this it makes blowing up balloons so much easier!
JoanneCo5 –
A little noisy
Does exactly what you expect. Easy to blow up balloons. A little noisy, the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The pump to blow up my baby’s pool is quieter, but it is not as easy to use that to blow up balloons.
Laine –
Worked perfectly after going to several stores that couldnt blow up ballons.

I made two balloon arch’s using this and it made it so easy! Super quick and simple.
Luvxojenn –
Great for setting up for parties!
This is so great when needing a whole bunch of balloons inflated! It fills them up with air so quickly! The only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s super LOUD! I wasn’t expecting it to be so loud. I would definitely buy it again!
Alyssa –
Made blowing up balloons much easier + faster. Great product.

Electric air inflator for balloons
Would purchase again! I love it
Mom to many –
If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Not quite sure why I didn’t get this years ago when I decided to fill my 3 kids rooms with balloons every birthday…Yea, it’s definitely LOUD and not something that you can do incognito in the next room…But that small inconvenience is worth the hours of your life you will save during your lifetime of blowing up balloons and being left with balloon breath and dizzying exhaustion.

It works great. Quick and easy. Blew up 200 balloons in under an hour.

Small but Mighty!
It filled up so many balloons so quickly!!! I thought I got the one with two air parts, so I was sad when I realized it only had one. But it filled them SO FAST that I’d fill and my husband tied and we were done within minutes.

Such a Great Deal
It works great. No complaints, I made a balloon tower in 20 min.

Life saver! When my air mattress pump failed me, I got this little gem and blew up an entire balloon arch in no time. Worth every penny.

Convenient
Very convenient small in size and travel friendly not heavy blew up 6 balloons in 3 minutes saved me time and a headache. 4 stars because the legs to stand are suction cups and I doubt they’ll stay intact and it’s very loud.

Air Inflator
It an asset to make balloon arches not for going in the air. It saves so much time and completely fills up to the end. It is a small machine but powerful

Bought for blowing up balloon garland
This works so fast and is compact for traveling! I would highly recommend this to anybody looking for a quick and easy way to blow up balloons.

Perfect for HoCo dance set up
It worked perfectly to blow up 100’s of balloons for HoCo dance. It saved a lot time and the kids loved it.
kehawes –
Quick, easy, and better than buying Helium!
Better than using Helium and this little pump worked like a charm. The motor is loud but so are all air pumps this size (think of an air mattress air pump). It inflated balloons very quickly (within 2 seconds, usually) and easily. Much easier than renting a tank or blowing up by mouth(!!) Highly recommend, over Helium, too… Helium is basically finite – once it’s gone, it’s gone FOREVER! We cannot make Helium from “other stuff” (it’s an element, not a molecule) and it’s too light to be held in the atmosphere. Look it up and you’ll be surprised to know this (and more).

Balloon arch necessity
Easy to use. Made filling balloons for an arch simple and much quicker.
Fun for grandchildren –
This item was bought and sent to my daughter for my grandchildren’s birthday parties. I didn’t think to buy it for them until she mentioned she didn’t have any way to blow up all the balloons. It arrived after my grandsons birthday party. But she will have it for future parties. She’s lives in Texas. I’m in the Chicago area. She seemed to be pleased with it. Although it hasn’t been used yet.
Debf –
Worked perfectly! Absolutely recommend
VB mom –
Works good for only round balloons
Works great, but only if you want to blow up round balloons. My son wanted this to inflate long skinny balloons for making balloon animals and it does not work on those type of balloons. Weird.
Oliver –
it is very easy to use.. My 6 year old niece enjoyed using it for birthday party…

It’s awesome I was able to blow 10 balloons per minute. I love it

Awesome
Awesome product and it really does work great! Highly recommend. We were able to construct a balloon arch in under two hours using this product.
fred –
Great for the price.
A bit slow and noisy compared to professional-grade electric balloon pumps, but this is probably just intended for up to 12-inchers. If you’ve got a GLx00 airship or 36 Longneck, you’ll be sitting for a while. Also, the removable tip extension is likely prone to getting lost.
Yekis –
I love this product! It works exceptionally! Fast delivery!

If you like to throw parties, this is for you! My 8 yo blew up dozens of balloons in just minutes. So quick and efficient! Love, love, love this product! Can’t believe I never heard of it until recently. Amazing! Go buy it now! 🙂

No light headed!
We loved the Balloon Buddy, we got it to help with a birthday party this year, and will be using it for a grad party this summer. It was so nice to not get light headed blowing up balloons before the party. I lent it to a neighbor so they could “fill” a coworkers office with balloons for a birthday in the office.

Balloons do not float

Saves time and energy!
I bought the Balloon Buddy to fill balloons for my son’s birthday party last week. It saved me a TON of time and energy blowing up balloons by mouth. No more of that weird, powdery taste in your mouth when blowing up balloons is another plus! We blow up balloons quite frequently in our house and will get plenty of use from this.

Very helpful. Sturdy little product. We blew up about 60 balloons in a short amount of time.
