How to Select a Bubble Machine
A bubble machine is a self-operating bubble blower. Most machines run on batter or AC power and are small enough to be used in private homes. There are several different types of bubble machines on the market, from those which create medium to large bubbles, to those which can blow over a thousand miniature bubbles every few minutes.

Decide what kind of machine you need. There are generally two main types of bubble machines: personal and commercial. A personal use bubble machine may be ideal for intimate parties or to entertain small children. Commercial bubble machines, however, are better suited to corporate events and community activities.

Tips & Warnings
Add a bit of glycerin, which can be found at your local pharmacy, to your bubble mixture for stronger bubbles.
When using your bubble machine outdoors during the day, try to place it in a shady spot, away from the sun. This may increase the amount of bubbles you get and may prevent your bubble solution from drying out rapidly.
When playing with your kids, do not allow them to eat the bubble solution or the bubbles as they come out of the machine. The chemicals in bubbles may be poisonous. For an added measure of safety, only purchase bubbles which are packaged as non-toxic.
