I am a sucker for gadgets and toys. I also have two girls, ages 5 and 2, and my house is overflowing with pink plastic... "stuff". So when they get in to anything even mildly amusing to me like LED lights, or animated Halloween decorations, or bubbles (like in this case)... "Go Big or Go Home"!! "Way, Way, Way...Overboard" or something like that is the phrase my wife uses. "So... You girls like Karaoke and want to buy that battery operated Barbie Karaoke machine?? No, No... that's not what you need. We are going to do this "right"... I'm buying you girls a Yamaha Watt PA system with "real" microphones and an 8 channel mixing board.." $3,000 (and 2 weeks of silent treatment from the wife) later... The police receive noise complaints about My Little Angels' and the neighborhood kids' RAGING Karaoke jam sessions!!
So... when I saw the sparkle and shear elation in their eyes when one of them got a cheap-o plastic, battery-operated bubble maker from my sister for a birthday, I said to my wife "We need to do this 'right'..." While my wife drove to pharmacy for a zantex prescription refill, I got online and started hunting for THE Daddy-dawg bubble machine.
I Originally ordered a competing brand- the Chauvnet (spelling?) Bubble Maker... Two fans blowing an enormous volume of air through 4 spindles of bubble wands, sturdy aluminum housing, big reservoir for endless hours of pure, bubble-bliss... This is The ONE!! $170+tax, but price be damned... we are going to have the sweetest bubble machine ever, it will totally blow their little minds!! [Click "Buy"]...
Arrives a few days later... a lot of anticipation from the little ones as I unpack the amazon box, fill machine with some of that magic bubble elixir, plug it in, and flip the "on" switch...
Epic Fail. I swear, my dog even laughed at me like that dog in the old Nintendo game "Duck Hunt"...
OK, the dog didn't really laugh at me, but in all seriousness... to draw a comparison, I actually put this $170 4-wand bubble machine side by side with the cheap-o $15 plastic one that they got from my sister (and inspired this quest for The Ultimate). Pepsi Challenge style. The two were equal in their bubble output. Four rows of wands, 2 fans, and proper 120V electrical outlet power suppl... versus... One row of wands, One 2-inch plastic fan, and 4 AA batteries... How is it even possible?? But, no BS, same-same.
Whatever, doesn't matter how or why because that POS got returned to Amazon so fast...
Don't worry girls, we will try the American DJ Bubble Tron. Arrives a few days later, same anticipation as we unwrap box, give it the bubble juice, flip the switch, and... Daddy is a hero again!!
ADJ Bubble Tron is $70 less than the Chauvnet, lighter weight, less clunky, more durable, and most importantly... spews 4x or 5x more bubbles. The epic bubble quest is over, we have attained The Ultimate!!
