Balloons won't float.
I bought this 4 days before I needed it and followed all the instructions carefully. I only managed to fill 11 balloons, as they were character balloons this may have been due to their size but it is hard to tell.
This was not the main issue as this was all I needed to inflate. The biggest issue was that only the first 4 balloons I filled floated, the rest just sank. I raised the issue with customer care. Hopefully they speak to the supplier of the gas to get the quality checked as it's very disappointing.
Make sure you get a receipt and keep it safe incase you have the same issue as you can't get a refund without it. I did manage to get a £15 voucher still.

Disappointed
Bought this in store, wish I had read the reviews online first! Didn't blow up anywhere near as many balloons as it states it does. Blew balloons up for my sons party on morning of his party but by the next morning they were all on the floor! Had hoped to have enough helium left in tank to use for my husbands birthday but didn't even have enough to blow up all the balloons for my sons party. Will have to buy another canister but definitely won't be buying this one again.

DON’T BOTHER. WASTE OF MONEY !!!!!!!!
Bought two large bottles to inflate helium quality balloons, they floated for an hour and were floor level by the time the party started.
Given I tried with both canisters shows there is definitely a quality issue with the helium, and really should be removed from sale.
Absolute waste of £80, totally ruined my vision for the setting.
Given they have gone up in price in the last week I would absolutely recommend you to NOT waste your money in purchasing these.
I called the store to explain what had happed, but I may of well been talking to a brick wall….not bothered at all, and was informed that they are excluded from the returns policy…..surprise surprise.

Didn’t keep balloons afloat
Bought this super excited for my partners birthday. Had a whole 2 packs of balloons (bought from 2 different shops). I used the helium to blow all of these up the previous night (around 10pm) ready for the morning! I wake up ready to get them to surprise my parter and they had ALL blown down!! Sadly some of these were rubber ones where you tie the balloon so I couldn’t un-do these, I did however manage to re blow the foil ones back up. Sadly again by the end of the day they were all deflated :( I thought at first it was the type of balloons but considering I bought from 2 different retailers and 2 types of balloons I’ve concluded it must be the helium. Super super disappointed, will not be purchasing again.

Don't waste your money
The canister blew up 6 small ballons (designed for helium) and then the can was empty. Its is advertised for 30. The ballons we did get out of it were on the floor within 6 hours. Very disappointing and left us out of pocket.

Used can?!?
I’ve purchased many helium canisters from HC in the past & never had a problem. However, I really regret not checking the valve at the time of purchase. The valve on my canister would not open AT ALL and my husband had to use strong pliers to get it undone. It blew up the first numbered helium balloon well but then nothing after that. I was gutted as it was late at night & we were inflating my daughter’s 13th balloons. The rest we had to fill with normal air & hang instead. We were so upset. I think we must’ve been given a return item. As much as this wasn’t a pleasant experience, it wouldn’t stop me from purchasing this item again. I would just highly recommend you check the valve before you leave the store.

Not worth an penny
I bought a tank a few months ago and I tried to use it after a few weeks of purchase, it completely didn't work. I thought maybe the tank became faulty because I let it sit for a few weeks before use. I bought a 2nd tank on a Wednesday. On Saturday I had a party very excited, I blew the ballons closer to the time of arrival for my guests. Not even the smallest balloon floated in air. I was very disappointed and embarrassed because i had to explain to each guest. I will never purchase again

Easy to use but poor value
I was initially pleased with this product however it fell short of my expectations. It was easy to use but the capacity was nowhere near what was predicted. On my daughters birthday this product filled up 2 slightly larger balloons and only 11 standard ones. Leaving us with no time to purchase another canister so our decoration display was diminished to some degree. This product was not to our expectations and incredibly poor value for money.
