Little Tikes FOAMO Foam Machine is an Easy-to-Assemble Foam Making Toy Perfect for Birthdays, Celebrations or Any Day You Want an Awesome Foam Party

The media could not be loaded. Bought this as an open box return for half the price. The actual box wasn’t even opened, just the amazon box. 2 yrs in and this is still one of our best purchases. I’ve been labeled the “coolest parent ever”.Like other reviews, I went with Parent Choice (wal-mart) baby shampoo instead of stock chemical stuff that was expensive. It smells so good and kids are essentially bathed after we are done 🤣. Shampoo lasts so long! $12 for 6 bottles and at least 40 min of fun. Keep adding water and the bubbles just keep coming.

Easy to set up. Tons of fun. Love it! My kids absolutely love their fomo foam machine. It is so easy to use and is hours of fun. All summer my kids beg to pull it out every day. Super easy to put up and store. Comes with storage box that everything fits very nicely in. 100% recommend!

Another reviewer had a great suggestion: use 5 bottles of baby soap instead of the foam refill. After using a few dollar store brands, the best brand to use is Walmart’s Parent’s Choice baby soap! It’s only $1 each bottle, like the dollar store! Reason it’s the best is that it lasts longer! The other brands, maybe 10 minutes max. This was almost 20 minutes of foam fun! I even asked the kids if they wanted me to turn it off since there was like a mountain of foam! Lol :) So just my suggestion: try Parents Choice baby shampoo from Walmart if you want a longer foam fun!EDIT FROM 1 YEAR OF HAVING THIS:This thing just keeps giving and giving! We absolutely love it. We break it out every time kids come over and prop it up inside our large water slide. The kids love playing in the water and being covered in foam! I have discovered a way to make the bubbles last longer: I dump 6 bottles of Parents Choice Tear Free baby soap and stir with my hand to make nice and foamy. As the water / foam disappears, I pour additional bottles of the soap into the bin and stir in with more water. I let the water almost go to the top. So we get over 30 minutes of foam fun! I think the one key is stirring with my hand, and making it as foamy as possible. Just wanted to share! It’s super fun and thank you Little Tykes for an amazing product!

We really enjoyed this machine. We tested it out with the included foam concentrate. Lasted probably about 20 min. Seemed to kill my grass and make the kids eyes irritated.Then we tested it with Walmart brand baby wash that was suggested in the other reviews. Definitely gentler and the grass was unaffected.For a birthday party, we had about 15 kids running through the foam. I used 4 bottles of the Walmart baby wash with a 1:5 ratio with water. I sprayed water into the box a lot during the foam party, so the ratio got even more diluted but the foam was still great. I felt like we used it for more than 30 min, maybe it was less but we turned it off once the kids were done and I still had more in the box. The grass is a little brown but considering that 15 kids were running through it for that long, I’d say that’s fine. My son’s eyes were a little red after but I think he kept using his hands to rub the soap off.This was the cheapest option over rented a machine for a few hours

We received the machine and there was foam liquid EVERYWHERE! I picked up the box and felt it was damp, and it comes in a box in side the bin! It was messy. We then put it all together and realized they sent 2 sets of caps that go on the legs and no mesh sock for the foam. We did read the comments to get baby soap instead so we went to Walmart and got a mesh bag to make sure it worked and it did! We did call little tikes and we have received our mesh sock and a new jug of foamo solution! They even sent it over night because this is for our kids party this weeekend. They had really good customer service and this foam machine works really great! Lots of foam in less than 5 mins!

So I do foam parties professionally and I bought this and another kind of as a laugh. I knew they'd be poor but I didn't expect them to be as horrible or as dangerous as these types of machines turn out to be.Much of this review mirrors my review of another machine. But, I will say this one has a few more safety features....but it's still not great.First of all, in a good situation, it'll ooze a small pile of foam out essentialy at the base of the machine. If you have small kids involved, they'll just be knocking it over repeatedly as it's just all mounded around it.Kids over 3ft will just not even be able to try to play with this.The stand on this one is better than another popular item. It's still terrible but it is a little nicer but it's still very prone to tipping in wind or on uneven ground.In wind ....it'll just fly off. You won't be having a foam party. It'll just be a mess.When soap mixes with water it becomes conductive. Fortunately this has a gfic plug on it....it's made in China though so....who knows?I will say the other one didn't even bother with a gfic brick so, this is a plus.The problem is because the foam machine cannot blow the foam outward, it just piles up and will quickly end up getting into the machine. At best this will just ruin it, at worst it could cause an accident.Basically, it's junk. Possibly dangerous junk.This sounds self serving but the odds that you're in my market are nearly 0.If you want to have a foam party, you are 100000x better off hiring a professional that does foam parties for a living. The equipment is a million times more fun if they use a cannon, the experience will greatly surpass anything you can do yourself, and your kids and guests will be a whole whole lot safer.Do not recommend for any purpose whatsoever.
