Okay, but not great

These Nerf better than balloons are okay and seemed pretty straightforward. You lay the sheet flat, insert the nozzle that comes with them into the opening, and run the water slowly to fill all the all the balloons. However, it does not fill all the balloons or fill them evenly. The younger kids weren't crazy about how easily they were to rip off the sheet and had some difficulty. My older kid and I did not though. They do not fully break apart in one full piece but it is still easy to clean up. They did not like being hit with them and my nine-year-old cried when hit with one. They preferred throwing them around at things or stomping on them. I prefer other methods than this one and wouldn't pick these up again.

The kiddos loved these! They were easy to put together and very fast. Definitely a lot safer than other products since nobody ended up in tears after having these throw around. I definitely will be purchasing some of these when we run out. Very fun and a good amount of balloons for the price. I received these free of charge in exchange of an honest review.

These better-than-balloons Nerf pods are pretty cool; however, I wouldn't say they are better than water balloons. They may be safer since they are not rubber. These neft pods do not explode into tiny pieces. They pop, and the plastic stays intact. Fun, but not the same old-school fun as water balloons.

These do break in one piece….however….they are difficult to fill, and the perforated edges do not tear easily. They also hurt when they hit you. I give three stars because they do what they say and break in one piece but that’s the only good thing I can say.

These better than water balloons are so much fun. They fill up quick and are so easy to clean up. The whole pod stays together so no messy ballon pieces everywhere. Definitely fun for the kids and I even enjoyed them! Worth getting and trying!

These are thicker than traditional balloons They were easy to fill up. Could squish them and throw them in these hot days and they did not burst so easy. They kept the kids cool in these extremely hot days

Kids and I were not a big fan of these! They were easy to fill however they were a pain to take apart without tearing the balloon itself. And then we tried to throw them at one another they proved difficult to pop. We either had to squeeze them very hard or pop them with our foot.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and bringing your experience to our attention! We’re sorry to hear that you had challenges with your Nerf Better Than Balloons Water Pods. We have some troubleshooting tips that can help resolve each issue. For the best experience with removal and popping, ensure the pods fill completely while the sheet is lying flat. Next, to remove the pods, the best method is to pull on either side of the pod on the perforated line, the middle section where the water flows in the pod may be slightly tougher to pull off. The pods are more versatile than traditional latex balloons for different play experiences. You can stomp, throw, spray or splash them!

Can’t remake a classic, unfortunately

My daughter and I were super excited to try these out! The instructions were self explanatory and straight forward, but we watched the video QR code anyway. They filled quickly with the hose attachment, but we had major difficulty in separating them on the perforated lines without many of them breaking/taking extra time/having excess plastic. Super disappointed in their functionality. Pick up was easy. However I feel that the self inflating rubber balloons are way easier to fill and prep, and typically don’t pick them up anyway because they’re so small. Therefore this doesn’t fill a huge void for me personally.

Durable, yes! However they are not duper convenient to fill and remove. The perforation tends to rip the balloon and therefore the water leaks out before you can use the product. I couldn't fill fast enough for my boys but the ones I was successfully able to fill and remove, they had an absolute blast with! Several sheets included with multiple colors. Easy to clean up. Price is ok for what they are but I would say compared to their competitors, they need to work on the release from packaging once filled with water.

Easy clean up but difficult to use

rachelc360

These water balloons have a unique design, letting you fill up an entire sheet of balloons at once. However, the design really didn’t work well, and we found that they didn’t fill evenly across the sheet and some burst while we were waiting on others to fill. Once filled, I found them difficult to tear apart, so some of them ripped during the process. My children were disappointed that they didn’t burst easily during their balloon fight, and they often only burst when they hit the ground. The one redeeming quality about these is that the trash is much easier to clean up than typical water balloons, so clean up was a breeze.

Fun Nerf pods!

I love the the idea of this pods than the latex balloons. My little boy had so much fun but you have to really be careful filling them up because once filled you have to break them off from the sheet. They hold water good and easy clean up though so that’s a win!

They’re easy to fill, not so easy to rip off of the perforated part. They’re not soft like water balloons they’re kinda hard which makes it concerning for a water balloon fight. But all in all they seem to be fun and my son likes them. And I love the easy clean up, no little balloon pieced

Easy to fill, but that's all

karanm2

Firstly thank you Nerf for letting me try this for my honest opinion. These are extremely easy to fill in, just connect the hose and it takes less than a minute or so. But the problem starts there. As these are made of plastic, they are extremely hard when thrown and hurt you. They don't pop as easy as they show. Regular rubber balloons are much better.

Awesome Concept

madisoni15

What I love most about this product is the concept of a water balloon that doesn’t require a crazy amount of cleaning up tiny little pieces. I think the product is almost there, but the assembly is a little exhaustive and the balloons don’t quite pop with the same splash as the normal water balloon- that’s why I only gave 4 stars.

These were different. My kids enjoyed playing with them, and they were super colorful and easy to fill up. It was fun for them to rip them off the attachment they came with.  I would buy again.

These are very cool

kfeldt29

These were so easy to fill. I will say it is a bit annoying ripping them off but better than filling and tying 100 water balloons. I like that there is several different ways to use these. My kids like to stomp on them the most! Cleaning up was quick and simple. These are heavy duty. This pack of 228 pods will last us a while. I would definitely buy these when we run out!

Pop too easily or not at all.

allim12

They pop incredibly easily. One will pop when filling, and then you can’t fill the other. Then they pop when you are trying to separate them from the sheet. Yet, they don’t break on contact with a person and hurt. I would not recommend these.

No.

cupcakeshake

It's a WHOLE no for me. The idea is grand but the design is HORRIBLE. Filling them up: you don't get to fill 1-3 balloons each time because the way bursts not allowing water there. The taking it apart is LONG. And the mess of the situation before even playing is way larger than just playing with regular water balloons. The biggest bonus is the balloon itself was easy to clean up and they were harder to break (in the sense of the usual break with one Shred of grass).

Fun but wasteful

katies492
8 months ago
These water balloons were super easy to fill up with water but then it was kind of a pain to pull them all out of the plastic. I wanted to play with these with my 3 year old and was nervous they would hurt him. They seem heavier and sturdier than a water balloon. We still had fun throwing them around the pool and the dogs enjoyed chasing them. However, they do create a lot of trash/waste.

I can’t express my love for these Nerf better than balloon water balloons!!! The clean up is so easy! First off, they are so easy to fill up and my kids absolutely loved these. They’re a colorful, big and fun to pop! When they were done it was easy to spot them and clean up. The other kind leave teeny tiny thin strips of balloons that get into my pool filter and destroy it! Not these! Overall, amazing product and whoever invented this is a genius!!!
