This thing is amazing and works as promised. We got several to use instead of confetti at a party. Not sure if it works with any bubble solution or hair the packets that came with it. I would purchase again for a giftWorks great!So you actually dip the tip, it doesn't stream the bubbles consistently. You have to keep dipping the end so it gets a little messy on your hands if you have kids playing. Also be careful not to let your hair get by the back end it can suck it inside the gun and get caught in the fan?? you can store your extra bubbles inside the bubble gun, it's absolutely SO MUCH FUN for everyone!!! I'm definitely going to order a couple more. I have the pink one, but I want the blue and black ones too ? I originally bought mine for my annual Easter egg hunt that I do every year, but it has come in handy for basically every occasion now. Everybody in my family wants it at there birthday partys and recently we even used it at a wedding on Mackinac island!!! Talk about Magical!!!You have to use tools to take the battery out to charge it. What a terrible design. They do include a tiny screwdriver. You will use this once.It was amazing! It worked just like all the pictures! Only problem, it only worked that one time :(Was suppose to come with lights, did not come with lights!!Kids loved it!Soooooo many bubbles!
