It only blew up 3 balloons and for the price. I do not recommend! It’s cheaper to go to the dollar store to fill up balloons. Very disappointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used this mini helium tank to make a balloon bouquet, and it was exactly what I needed! It inflates up to 20 balloons, which was more than enough for my project. I love that it is incredibly portable. I didn’t have to lug around a bulky tank—this one is lightweight, easy to carry, and super convenient to store. Using it was a breeze. The instructions were clear, and I had the bouquet done in no time. It’s perfect for birthdays, small parties, or any event where you want helium balloons without the hassle or cost of a rental. For the value, convenience, and ease of use, this little tank is a winner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a super convenient way to be able to blow up balloons with helium at home. My kids go nuts for helium balloon and they thought it was the coolest thing to be able to blow them up at home. This little can lasted for a long time!

This kept the balloons inflated for a couple hours only. Very disappointing! They were all on the ground very quickly. At first, we thought the problem was the balloons, so we tried another kind of balloon. Nope, the problem is the helium. Didn’t work on any kind of balloons we tried.

If I could give it a zero I would. Blew up 3 balloons successfully and then the next 4 blew up with air because they fell to the ground. No helium. I ordered online but wasn’t able to do a return for a replacement. Don’t buy this, also doesn’t have a lever to shut off or turn on helium just bend end of nozzle wandering if that maybe why the tank failed to retain helium.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to transport. Worked great at blowing up balloons. Very durable container. Great name brand product for what it was needed for. And was just what I needed to finish up decorations for my baby's birthday party.
Nice, but the packing throws me off

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I felt like the nozzle was innovative for trying to mimic a spray can of whip creme, however it made it a little bit harder to dispense helium versus the original tank design leading to it feeling more flimsy and less durable. I will add it is lighter than the helium tank but leads me to be concerned about the storage requirements that is needed to keep helium sealed.
Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product if you need some balloons last minute. The instructions were easy to follow. It does state that this is a MINI helium tank, so you will get mini balloons. I do wish they lasted a little longer. Overall, it was good!
A dud

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The portable tank was a cute idea and appreciated how it came with the balloons and string. Unfortunately, there is need for improvement since within 20 min of blowing them up multiple balloons lost helium and deflated. Based on this information I do not think it is a good value and not something I would purchase in the future. I loved the idea because it seemed convenient, but it’s awkward when you are filling them and makes a weird sound as well. In addition after a while your fingers start to hurt as it’s not that easy using the nozzle

I purchased these sealed but the helium in here last about 2hours the most 2and a half. I need this for an event I was doing the same day when I had to blow up ballons tie and string within that time ballons slowly were falling. This is the worst helium tank known.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little guy is amazing! Super convenient to have on hand for last minute or as a backup. It is lightweight and therefore great for transport. I found that this small helium tank was also extremely easy to use. Just move the nozzle and the right amount of stream comes out into your balloon, inflating it. Once inflated the balloons lasted longer than expected. This seems to be made of a metal which I’m also hoping is recyclable. Overall, I’m finding this to be an excellent product. I highly recommend checking it out!
So Simple and Quick!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lightweight tank makes preparing for an event so easy! The plastic cap tears off easily. Basic photo instructions are included. The nozzle just needs to be pushed to the side and a balloon can easily be filled with one hand. The nozzle is easy to press and fill to the desired level. Fill up the number of balloons you want and you can store the rest of the tank for later. The helium lasted maybe 10 hours in standard balloons, which might be less time than when purchasing from a professional party store, but considering you can just fill the balloons minutes before your event, it’s definitely worth the time and effort saved.
Party fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The thought of dealing with Helium is scary to some, but this product makes it easy to blow up your balloons at the comfort of your home. It is easy to use and most of all tells you where to dispose of it properly. It's durable and sturdy and fills up to 20 balloons

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I waited to use this until my son’s birthday. It was easy to use and I even got a good laugh bc it reminded me of the whip from a can. !! lol 😂 the only draw back I had was knowing the pressure to push the air into the balloons. My package came with the big can and a package of balloons/instructions! Recommend 100%!
Easy use!
