Bubble Machines

Bubble machines are fantastic effect units that are commonly used during kids parties, discos, and live music performances. They use a water-based fluid solution with a high-power fan and rotating wand to produce hundreds of bubbles in one go. All of the bubble machines we supply are safe to be used indoors thanks to the water-based fluid solution they are designed for.

In terms of fluid use, bubble making machines can get through fluid extremely quickly, so it is recommended to have a large amount of bubble fluid at hand during your parties. You can get pre-mixed bottles of fluid that can be used instantly with your machine, or you could purchase concentrated fluid that needs to be mixed with water before being usable.

When considering purchasing a bubble machine, it is important to take into account some different factors that will cater towards varying requirements. One of these factors is the size of the machine. Bubble machines can come in a variety of sizes, including compact, lightweight units for small parties, and large professional cabinets that are designed for stage and theatre use.

Another factor to consider is the output of the machine, which is how many bubbles it can produce per minute. If you are only hosting a small party at home, you will not need a machine that produces a large volume of bubbles with a high-power fan, so a smaller option would be best for you. On the other hand, you don’t want to purchase a machine that is too small for your requirements, so it is important that you look at the output of each machine before deciding on one.

Positioning a bubble machine

When using a bubble machine, it is important to take into account where it will be positioned during your event. You don’t want it to be easily knocked over or stood on when placed on a ground surface, for example, so positioning is a key factor in the success of your party and output of the machine itself.

Most of the bubble makers available today will come with an adjustable bracket, which gives you the ability to hang it from overhead mounting points, such as lighting stands and pipes. If you do install your bubble machine at an elevated level, the bubbles will fall more naturally to the ground, which is perfect for discos and kids parties.

If you don’t have the circumstances to mount your bubble machine, that’s okay too! Bubble makers are also designed to be mounted on flat surfaces while still providing an impressive output. Aside from small battery-powered machines like the BeamZ B100, all machines will need a connection to mains power, so this is another important factor to consider when positioning your bubble maker during parties.

For the battery-operated portable machines, positioning is not an issue. They can be handheld and used wherever you please, and they can also be positioned in any dry location without a connection to mains power being necessary.

Setting up and operation

Setting up a bubble making machine is extremely simple - they are most commonly mains-powered, so they need to be connected to a standard wall socket using the included power cable. Once they are connected to power, fill up the fluid reservoir with a suitable bubble solution, and then activate the machine using either its built-in switch or included remote control (when applicable).

There are pre-mixed fluid solutions available that can instantly be used with our bubble machines, as well as concentrated bottles of fluid that need to be mixed with water before being used. All of our fluid solutions are water-based and non-hazardous, making them suitable for indoor or outdoor use, as well as use around children and pets. Ingestion of the fluid can prove to be toxic though, even if the bubbles are non-toxic, so we would always recommend talking to a doctor or veterinarian if any fluid is ingested.

Once your bubble machine is set up properly, operating it is easy. Most machines will have a standard switch on the unit itself that can be turned on and off to activate the motor and fan. Simply let the machine produce bubbles for as long as you like, and turn the machine off when required.

There are also some machines that come with wireless remote controls, giving you the ability to conveniently activate them at a distance for as long as you like. This is great during parties and events where you can’t always be right next to the machine, allowing you to focus on other aspects of the event without your attention being taken by the bubble machine.

Once your machine is up and running, all you have to do is keep an eye on the fluid level and fill the machine when needed.

Choosing a bubble machine

Choosing the right machine will depend on the size of your room or event area, as well as what you want to achieve with the bubble machine. If you only want a machine for small kids parties or barbecues, for example, the BeamZ B500 and B500LED machines are perfect. They have a user-friendly and lightweight design while still providing an impressive volume of bubbles.

If you are looking for a machine for larger events such as weddings, band performances, or theatre productions, then a professional bubble machine such as the BeamZ BG7000 or B2500 may be best. Always look at the specifications of each machine to help make your decision.
