40 Inch Red Number 6 Balloon Giant Helium Polyester Film 6th Birthday

Good

I used this product for my boyfriends birthday, it lasted a couple days. I went to Party City for helium the straw that comes with the balloons does not keep it floating in the air, but it was a lot cheaper than getting the balloons from Party City.

The color was beautiful. It was big, as expected, it drew a lot of good attention at the park and restaurant :-) A few days later started to naturally deflate. 2 weeks later it is still floating but deflated. I dont know why balloons are so expensive. Plus it was another $11 to take it somewhere to have it blown up. I hope i can have it blown up again for his party, anyone know if that will work ?

This is the only item that I purchased that seemed to be defective. It did not inflate so in all my pictures it appears flat next to the 6. It was too late to reorder or replace it for the event.

These balloons worked perfectly for our 50th high school reunion. I bought them in school colors and filled them with helium (they take a lot of helium - get the big tank) and tied them with ribbon to balloon weights on the floor. I also bought the numbers 50 for the other side of the door. It was very festive coming in and many people stopped to take pictures with the year balloons. We filled them the day before the event and they lasted with no problems. Very satisfied.

It's ripped slightly why trying to get the nub for the heluim tank into the opening. Which it wasn't bad enough to defeat the balloon. I had to put a straw theough to open the valve slit more, since its self sealing then went back into using my helium tank which helped alot. After inflation it looked perfect and thought that was that. I added the string to it & attached a balloon weight at the bottom with another balloon I had gotten . Both secured in place I then took it outside with the birthday boy and only was able to get a few pictures in before the string ripped right through the balloon causing it to float away and have a birthday boy in tears. I didn't think the string would have ripped through the balloon like that or I would have done the pics inside. I'm not sure if I would get this brand again. If I do I definitely know to know the bottom with the string and not put it through the hole they provide for a string. It's not horrible..just that experience wasn't the greatest. So if you get this knot the bottom to the string, not to the hole provided.

Totally worth it to buy and then fill yourself. Party city is out here robbing people with the prices of their balloons and to fill them. Don’t make that mistake. Buy this balloon and fill it yourself. It’s huge and good quality. It lasted for almost a week before we popped it because we couldn’t stand it hanging around anymore. Good quality, fast shipping, worth it and it saves you money vs a store.

This is not a quality balloon. It popped within 5 minutes of being inflated. Split right down one of the seams. I purchased this for my 7 year old's birthday and had it inflated at a local grocery store. As soon as we opened the packaging, I noticed that the balloon smelled very strange and felt very, very thin for a helium balloon. We had it inflated (it was not overfilled by the way) and it survived just long enough to make it into the car, where it then proceeded to explode, scare myself and my son half to death, and make my son cry. After the death of this balloon, we bought one from Dollar Tree as a cheap replacement, and that balloon is actually still inflated in my living room almost a month later. Save your money and get something from Dollar Tree or pay the extra for quality from Party City.

Product is as mentioned

The package insert tells you to insert the straw in the red dot. There is no red dot. For further instructions scan the QR code. There is no QR code. Well how hard can this be right? So we insert the straw into the valve and blow and nothing happens. Push the straw a bit and it breaks out the back of the balloon. Seems the hole that is supposed to lead from the valve to the rest of the balloon was melted shut at the factory. Had to cut a hole in the main part to inflate it. Not impressed.

Shipping was fast. This worked really well for a last minute surprise for my hubby. I would suggest using a balloon pump from the dollar store as the opening is just a sticker but once it’s up, it holds the air all night. No regrets

Great balloon. The picture was taken four days after having it filled with helium and it's still going strong.

This balloon was fine for 1 day, but on the way to the birthday party the seams gave out and it exploded. My son was heart broken that he couldn't show his friends.
