The Common Loon's review[]
Overall comments[]
These balloons are designed to be stuffed with gifts such as teddy bears. But sometime, I have to decorate a party with these monsters. Big, big attention getters, their strength and unique design make them a joy.
Size and shape[]
Big, but not too big. The clear latex stretches forever, and it takes guts to get it tightly inflated. Though I've not done it, I have seen these balloons inflated down their wide necks. The wider neck that makes them easier to install on balloon stuffing machines also makes overinflation safer than their 16-inch cousins.
Latex quality[]
Again, there's a reason they're called Qualatex. The latex is impeccable, and defects are few and far between. Plus, since these balloons have been inflated when they were printed, most of the defective ones have already been weeded out.
Reliability[]
Nothing indicates to me that these balloons are anything but reliable. The rubber is strong and defects are rare, so go nuts-- these balloons can take it.
