First of all, don't be turned off by the packaging. When I opened the box, everything was loose but nothing was broken and that's all that really mattered to me. The picture showed two bottles of bubble solution but this only included one - however, that's really not a huge deal since I can always get more. The bubble gun started right up as soon as I pulled the trigger and I was kind of surprised by how light it is. I didn't do the greatest job putting the decals on but this is for me so I don't mind if it's a little off. The biggest thing that confused me was how to charge the bubble gun. You need to unscrew the panel on the handle with the tiny screwdriver, and then take out the battery and plug it into the included charging cable to charge it. It seems a little overly complicated but again, I don't plan on using this nonstop so I don't think this would be an everyday charging situation. I think this is overall a fun toy, nothing fancy, but it seems to work like it should. The complexity of the charging situation is the only reason I took a star off because it is a VERY tiny screw and there are absolutely no instructions in the box so I wish it was more intuitive.Ok so this is actually so much cooler than I thought it would be. It comes with a cord for charging (rechargeable battery), the tray to dip the gun in, the bubble gun itself, and one bottle of bubble solution. The pictures do make it seem like it comes with 2 bottles of solution, but that’s not the case. & you FLY through the solution so keep that in mind, the entire bottle lasted us maybe 15 minutes of playing with this toy. So definitely make sure you have plenty of bubble solution or you’ll have disappointed kiddos!Other than that though, this toy is great. It shoots out hundreds and hundreds of bubbles at once and it’s so cool even to me as an adult. Sometimes the bubbles do clump up and make one giant bubble, but my kids honestly thought it was so cool when that would happen.Overall my kids love it so I’m happy! I definitely recommend this, especially if your kids love bubbles!My son absolutely loves his bubble blaster. It lets off tons and tons of bubbles. It's great that it can be recharged but I think I would of liked batteries better. The charge on this thing does not last long whatsoever. No matter how long we charge it for, we get maybe 15 minutes of play before it slows down to nothing. My son could play with this for hours if he could but sadly it's a bit of a let down.It's amazing how many tiny bubbles come out of that machine.Almost no soapy mess. Usually, when you make bubbles, it's a drippy and sticky mess. It's amazing how dry this thing was. Very easy to dip in the tray. When you lift it to blow bubbles, it doesn't drip everywhere.It only comes with two little bottles of bubble soap. I'm sure you can make or buy more bubble soap.Most bubbles are small and don't float a long way. They pop sooner than you might expect -- 3 or 4 feet.The colored lights are fun at night.This item is a lot of fun .This bubble gun is so much fun! We've already had a blast with it quiet a few times. I would recommend buying lots of bubble solution though. Because it makes so many bubbles it is easy to go through a lot of solution. Totally worth it though! :) I use it with my kids, my dogs, and my cats!My kids are literally obsessed with this. Good bubble gun!I like that I didn't have to go hunting for a screw driver to open the battery door. Very fun toy and my son loved all of the bubbles. As you can see in the pictures from the seller, the tray has a spout to pour the bubble solution back in the container when your done with it, or when the batteries run out. You'll get about 15 maybe 20 minutes of use out of every charge. Overall very fun toy, would recommend.The gun itself didn't come with instructions but they're posted here on the product info. You dip the end of the gun into a tray with the bubble liquid, and then pull the trigger after. The gun has a light up feature and a fan inside that blows air out to generate the bubbles. It's quite powerful and blows many large bubbles. It comes with a cord to recharge the gun and two containers of liquid. The only odd thing is the box misspells " extreme" and "experience" ? my toddler absolutely loves this toy!The battery dies really fast. Like 6-10 squeezes and you need to charge it. Also I ordered pink and was sent purple. But when it’s fully charged and working it’s amazing. Excessive amounts of very tiny bubbles. The rocket machine makes better big bubbles.My granddaughter is 3 yrs old and loved it worth every penny
