If there's one movie quote about parenting that has ever been true, it's the line from Knocked Up when Paul Rudd's Pete looks up wistfully and says, "I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles." The minute the weather is warm enough, kids want nothing more than to be awash in the soapy spheres, blowing, chasing and popping them to their hearts' content. Which is helpful for parents, because that means you can turn on a bubble machine and let your kids go wild (and give yourself a chance to catch your breath).
The Good Housekeeping Institute's Little Lab tested bubble machines, evaluating on criteria like bubble output, ease of use and quality of construction, and these were our favorites. One thing we noticed in all cases: Like other outdoor toys, bubble machines can easily get gunky, which affects their performance. To make them last longer, it's wise to carefully follow instructions for cleaning and storage. Also, the bubbles run out faster than you'd think, so it's better to keep plenty of extra bottles of bubble solution on hand (some of the machines don't come with solution at all, so check before purchasing). And while kids stayed entertained for longer with an automatic bubble blower, there's nothing wrong with handing them a wand and telling them to blow, so we have our favorite non-machine included as well. Happy popping!

Best Overall Bubble Machine
Gazillion Tornado Bubble Machine
Gazillionwalmart.com
$9.97
If volume is your game, this machine is what you need. It claims to blow 4,500 bubbles per minute, and our testers can verify that it does, indeed, create a ton of bubbles. In order to keep the bubbles flowing, though, parents should take care to clean it regularly. And, at just under $10, this one is also the best value. Ages 3+
Blows a LOT of bubbles
Best Backyard Bubble Machine
Automatic Bubble Blower
Zerhuntamazon.com
$34.95
This bubble machine operates on two levels of output — though, knowing kids, they're always going to want it set to the max. That's why it's extra helpful that it has a (short) plug, so if you have an outlet nearby you don't have to keep replenishing the six C batteries it uses. Then again, the battery power makes it more portable, so it's a versatile choice. You can also get it in black or white. Ages 3+
AC plug saves on batteries
Cutest Bubble Machine
Kidzlane Bubble Machine
Kidzlaneamazon.com
$23.99
Not only did testers respond to the adorable dolphin design of this bubble machine, they also appreciated that the reservoir held a lot of bubble solution, so it didn't need constant fill-ups. In tests, it also created a large volume of bubbles. Ages 3+
If you want a toy that does more than just douses kids in bubbles, this bubble mower makes sounds, has a "motor" that spins and blows bubbles to boot. It fosters imaginative play, encourages outdoor time and helps with gross motor coordination and exercise as little ones push it around. Ages 2+
Enhances imagination and gross motor coordination
Best Bubble-Blowing Music Player
Bubble Party Bluetooth Speaker
Sunny Days Entertainmentamazon.com
$28.89
While this isn't the sturdiest bubble machine we tested, it does have a neat trick — it connects to your devices with Bluetooth, so it can actually play music as bubbles emerge from each speaker. Plus, kids look old-school cool carrying these boomboxes around. Ages 3+
This cute octopus plays music as bubbles emerge from eight spinning bubble wands. It's also extremely simple to operate: The solution is poured into a wide opening above the octopus' eyes, and then it just takes one button to turn it on or off. A handle makes it easy to carry around, too. Ages 3+
Very portable
Best Unplugged Bubble Option
Fubbles No-Spill Big Bubble Bucket
Little Kidsamazon.com
$16.99
This isn't a bubble machine, in that there's no batteries, plugs or motors and the kids have to do their own blowing. But if you're shying away from letting them blow their own because of the mess, this Fubbles bucket has it solved. It really is spill-proof, so you can set your kids off or transport it in your bag or car without worry. It also has enough wands so three kids can use it at once. Ages 3+
No mess
Cam be used by three kids at once
