AquaPod The Original Rocket Bottle Launcher Kit - Launches Soda Bottles 100 Ft Up in The Air - Fun Educational STEM Gift Idea for Kids & Teens - Great Science Toy & Outdoor Activity for Family

Worked great. I bought 3 in case one didn't work. But ended up only needing one since reliability was perfect. So much fun and work as mentioned.

So much fun for boys age 4 to 12. Highly recommended super easy to use. All you do is fill a bottle with water place it on the unit, attach a bicycle pump and then pull the string. Water bottle goes super high. Place a glow stick inside the water bottle for nighttime fun.

Fun toy. Works well. But you do need an air pump like a bike tire air pump to pressurize the chamber. I would say it’s a toy that needs adult supervision at all times but fun for the entire family.

This was for my granddaughter's birthday, and she and her dad LOVE it. They have a large backyard for shooting it up into the air. You need to have a hand bicycle pump, which they did. They actually had two and found one pump worked far better than the other, as one kept slipping off as it was being pumped up (the fault of the pump, not the toy). I had an empty, clean 2-Liter bottle packaged with the gift, along with a brand new set of tennis balls. It is great fun putting items on top of the bottle and launching the two items together. The balls soar into the sky and are more fun to chase and retrieve than the bottle itself. But, we found that smaller balls, like their racket ball, worked better. They also had a small glow-in-the-dark ball that was lots of fun at dusk. She even launched some small, cute, rubbery toy animals atop the bottle and they really flew! But, I will say that balls are best, as when they land on a roof, they roll off, while the toys just sit up there! We did follow the suggestion of putting olive oil around the bottle opening to make it slip on quickly and tightly. We also discovered it was far faster having TWO 2-Liter bottles so granddaughter would be filling one while dad retrieved the other (or vice versa). We also marked on the bottles the water level needed so that the granddaugher (age 9) could fill the 1/3 level more quickly on her own. We used this on the ground with the anchor hooks provided and had no problem.

The most safe and neighborhood friendly way to have fun! We have launched this over 50x and the product is still in great condition.

Looked fun at first but didn’t work as expected. The bottle barely went up, and it was hard to set up. Very flimsy, and you need extra parts like a bike pump, which isn’t included.

I got this for my granddaughter and I to play with in my front yard. A large open area is recommended, as the two-liter soda bottle rockets can travel high and far, but such an area is not readily available in our situation, so it's the front yard for us. This launcher is a bit expensive compared to some others, but it's the best one I could find for our purpose. With this launcher, you don't need fins on the rocket to launch it, and the rocket climbs impressively high without fins. After a few launches the rocket invariably lands in an unreachable and hidden position in a large bush. Replacing only the lost soda bottle is much cheaper than replacing a lost soda bottle and a lost set of fins. Also with this launcher you have complete control over when the rocket launches, with a gentle pull on the cord.

The whole family loves to launch this thing. Just be sure to do it far away from trees! took a while to get the parachute off the tree limb!

My partner and bonus daughter loves it! Easy and simple to set up.

Muy fácil y muy entretenido. tal vez le faltaría una especie de seguro para que no se active accidentalmente el gatillo.

This bottle rocket launcher was a great thing for my grade 5 and 6 class to learn about the concept of flight. It aloud my grade 6s to have creativity when creating the Rockets and then everybody to have a great day outside enjoying the launch. Check out a shot below. I would’ve uploaded a video, but Amazon wouldn’t load it.

Very easy to use. My 7 and 9 year old love it. Easy to load and goes super high. My kids were so excited to see how high this actually goes, says up to 100feet but I swear it went higher. Likes that it uses water and can be reloaded and played with multiple times

My boys absolutely love this. So much fun
