Select a Bubble Machine
Consider the purpose of the bubble machine. Children may better appreciate machines modeled after beloved animals or whimsical creatures, while adults and teens might want to select a machine which can blend in with existing decor.
Decide what kind of machine you need. There are generally two main types of bubble machines: personal and commercial. A personal use bubble machine may be ideal for intimate parties or to entertain small children. Commercial bubble machines, however, are better suited to corporate events and community activities.
Think about whether you want a bubble machine only, or one that provides other stimulating visual effects. Some machines on the market also offer rotating lights and images to bring more color and drama to an event.
See how fast the machines on the market will go through bubble solution and batteries before you select one. Having to pay for additional accessories and operation aides may be a factor in your decision.
Look for package deals, which offer a bubble machine, a generous supply of bubbles and a package of batteries. You may find package deals are less expensive than buying each item separately.
Try a bubble gun when you want something lightweight and portable you can use while playing with your kids. The bright colors are an instant attraction to most children, and the size of the machine makes it easy to clean and store.
