Best Bubble Machine UK For Kids In The Garden: The Top Bubble Bath Machines

Specification: Automatic Bubble Maker: 2,000+ per Min, Power: 4 AA batteries, Size: ‎15.6 x 17.8 x 23.2 cm

Currently on sale, the Bubble Mania Bubble Whale is a really fun and popular bubble machine with our customers right now. Built and decorated as a sweet, round, whale design, this one is quite unique as the bubbles blow upwards, apparently mimicking that of a real whale…

Whale anatomy aside, this is a good idea as the bubbles get pushed further upwards and create a really nice bubble flow. The bubbles are created by the spinning ring at the top of the product. And it makes a LOT of bubbles – which really sets it apart from many other bubble machines out there at the moment. This is ideal for outdoor use as you really do get what you expect from a bubble machine – a huge number of bubbles! Perfect for entertaining the kids as the effects are very appealing.

The slight downside is that this machine isn’t really suitable for indoor use due to the sheer volume of bubbles it produces as you will also get a lot of excess liquid. Also, you do sort of rely on the outside to disperse the bubbles.

Another thing is that with lots of bubbles comes a lot of bubble liquid. This isn’t surprising, just something to bear in mind. But this is just the case with all machines and the advantage with this machine is that it can hold more liquid to create more bubbles. Plus, bubble liquid is very cheap.

The machine does make a noise when in use but this is more like white background noise, which can actually be soothing to young children. It also needs 4 AA batteries to run, which isn’t too many compared to some other products.

Another sea creature design, the KreativeKraft Bubble Machine For Kids is another popular option on sale too. On first impressions, the design is very fun and a bright orange which is great for kids. The machine also comes with a 236ml bottle of bubble liquid.

First off, this one shoots out its bubbles at a diagonal angle out of the mouth, sending them at a 45 degree angle from the ground. This is slightly more practical than the first option as you can put the bubble machine on a surface if you need to, rather than having to leave it on the ground or a low surface.

This machine is another one which products a lot of bubbles – and keeps them coming in a constant stream rather than stopping and starting, which some other products can do. You’ll need batteries to put in but that’s not an issue – this one requires 6 x AA batteries.
Like with the last product, this machine does use up a lot of liquid. Again, not a problem per say as the liquid is so cheap and easy to get hold off. You could easily use shampoo or fairy liquid if you need to. Needless to say, the bottle that comes with the machine did not last very long.

Specification: Automatic Bubble Maker: 1,200+ per Min, Power: 4 AA batteries or USB, Size: ‎18 x 10.5 x 11.4 cm

Priced well, the Bubble Machine for Kids, Automatic Bubble is the most expensive out of this selection. Although this one doesn’t have a fun design like the products above, there are still many advantages which explain the price, mainly being its power and multiple user options.

This one comes with the option to power either with batteries (4 x AA batteries) or with a USB cable. This is always great as you can use batteries when you need to carry your machine around (which is easy to do as it’s only 530g in weight) or if you want to keep it anywhere it might get wet. But it’s great to have the option of the USB cable if you don’t happen to have batteries on you at the time.

The machine runs well on both batteries and USB power. It has two settings so you can choose how fast you want your bubbles to come out, which is handy depending on where you want your bubble machine to be at the time. The faster setting would be ideal for outdoor use, and the slower setting for indoor use, for example.

This definitely generated a lot of bubbles, even on the slower setting. And this one didn’t make as much noise as some of the other machines which is a good thing to bear in mind if you’re after a quieter option.

The one, slightly obvious thing to note is that with the faster speed, you will use up much more liquid. It seems that with this machine, it would be more practical to choose the ‘slower’ setting so that you can keep it on for longer, especially as you can keep the power going with the USB cable. The fast setting really did need refilling often. Whether this is an issue is really up to you – refilling is very easy, it just depends whether you’re looking for a machine you can leave on its own for a while or not!

Another one from KreativeKraft, the Bubble Machine Kids 2 Pack comes as a set of 2 bubble shooters and 2 150ml bottles of bubble liquid. At mid range money, this one is a slightly different take on the bubble machine, but one that is more interactive for children.

This is definitely great fun for kids as you can take them around with you and it gives them an activity as well as something entertaining to look at. They’re very easy to use so you can happily leave them with the kids.

After first use, they produce a great amount of bubbles, which was slightly surprising from the look of them. The bubble liquid that they come with works really well.

The downside to them being portable is this has slightly compromised on their quality. They’re great for the first few uses but I have noticed that the liquid can leak, either out of the machine (meaning you wouldn’t want to put them straight into a bag) or into the battery compartment. And then this means that they don’t always work for very long after that. Or they just don’t produce many bubbles.

We’ve got another fun animal design, this time a little monster creature, with the HellDoler Bubble Machine, priced at similar money to my other top picks. What’s different about this one is that the bubbles blow out the side AND this one doesn’t need batteries – you just charge it with the USB cable.

The great thing about this is that you don’t have to worry about getting hold of batteries, or suddenly needing the toy when you don’t have any in the house. And, unlike some of the other products we’ve tested, you don’t have to worry about any liquid leaking into the battery space, because there is none. The one thing I’d say is that you do just need to remember to charge this one before using it!
I like that the space to put the bubble liquid is right inside the machine so you don’t have to worry about the liquid spilling out, especially if your kid is playing with it and moving it around.

The bubbles come out of the mouth at the side of the machine which is great if you want to place your machine on a surface to keep it out of reach/off the ground. This is ideal if you want to keep it running without having to worry about it getting knocked or you kid moving it too much. And the bubbles it produces are great! Definitely plenty of them.

Another one priced similar, the VATOS Bubble Machine is another really fun option with a kind of octopus design. It’s light and portable, and only needs 3 x AA batteries, which is fewer than some of the others. What sets this model apart is that it has added extras to enhance the sensory experience like LED lighting and a sweet musical tune when blowing the bubbles. This is a very nice added touch as it gives more to the kids in terms of all round entertainment and activity. And they definitely love it!

The bubbles come out really quickly and there’s lots of them – they shoot up a 45 degree angle which is pretty reliable in terms of where you can place the machine. The solutions it comes with actually lasts a very reasonable amount of time, especially compared to some of the other products.

You do have to unscrew the panel every time you want the refill the machine which is a bit of an effort, but it’s a good thing you don’t have to do this often. And this massively helps with the no leaking feature, along with the fact that you pop the little bottles into the machine rather than pouring liquid inside. This is definitely a big advantage against some of the other products.

A nice size too so you can slot it into a small space without it taking up too much room.

Specification: Automatic Bubble Maker: N/A, Power: 4 AA batteries, Size: ‎17 x 17 x 4.5 cm

Another portable and hand held toy, the Ucradle Bubble Machine is another unique design currently on sale too! This one is lightweight and easy to hold with two bubble fan sets. And you get 2 x bottles of 118ml of bubble liquid which is great. The toy has a tray with it as well so you don’t have to worry about any excess leaking after you’re finished with it, you can place the toy in the tray.

You need 4 x AA batteries. Once in, I can say this toy produces a lot of bubbles and very quickly (within seconds). The main benefit of the tray is that you can fill it up with liquid to dip the toy into it. This is great as you can let your child dip the toy without any worries about refilling. And it gives them something extra to do and allows them to take some control with the toy. It’s also very easy for them to use!

I love that this one is also portable so you can take it with you to the park or anywhere you’re off to where you need some extra entertainment for the kids. And the handle is easy to grip so suitable to let your kids to use easily.
