According to reviews, it’s pretty good value for money too. One customer wrote, “Tons of bubbles that go about five feet into the air. Beautifully mad and worth every penny.”
Another five-star review reads: “This is just brilliant. My son went nuts when I put it on haha, the house was full of bubbles - he loves it.”
A third summed it up nicely: “Just like a little fireworks fountain, but with bubbles.”
