"Twenty kids at a birthday party and this was the entire entertainment."
I bought it for my daughter's fifth birthday mostly as a decoration and it ended up being the whole party. The bubbles come out full of fog so when the kids stomp on them there's this little puff of cloud, and they lost their minds over it. Forty five minutes straight of chasing bubbles around the yard. Three other moms asked me for the link before they left. We've used it probably fifteen times since then, mostly on random weeknights when the kids are bored and I need ten quiet minutes.
My 3 year old asks for the fog bubbles every single day now.
Cheapest way I've ever bought myself twenty minutes.
Used it at a gender reveal. Looked way more expensive than it was.
Everyone thought we rented something.
No cord means we can use it at the park.
Charges over lunch, runs all afternoon.
Solution doesn't stain the deck or their clothes.
That was my worry. It's been fine.
Bought a second one so there are bubbles from both sides.
Backyard looks like a concert.
Held up to being dropped by a five year old repeatedly.
Still works perfectly.
A normal bubble pops into nothing.
This one pops into a cloud.
A soap bubble is a thin film of water wrapped around plain air. When it bursts, the air it was holding is already invisible — so there's nothing to see. The whole event is over before a kid can point at it.
This machine makes fog first, then blows the bubble around it. Now the bubble is carrying something you can see. When it lands and breaks, the fog it was holding spills out and hangs in the air for a second or two. That pause is the entire difference — it's what makes kids chase them instead of losing interest after a minute.
Rechargeable battery, so it works in the middle of a yard or at a park with no outlet nearby.
Non-toxic and non-staining, made for kids to run through and pop with their hands.
Gender reveals, weddings, photo backdrops — the fog reads on camera in a way plain bubbles don't.
Three steps, about a minute
Bubble solution in one side, water in the fog chamber.
It warms up for a few seconds and starts producing.
Aim across the yard or up into the air and let it run.
Refill as needed. A full tank runs for a long stretch.
A bubble wand vs. this
The Havly Fog Bubble Machine is for you if…
It works as the activity, not just decoration. Kids interact with fog bubbles far longer than plain ones because the pop is visible.
One button and the backyard entertains itself. This is the most common reason people say they reach for it on a weeknight.
Fog catches light and reads on video. Plain bubbles mostly disappear on a phone screen.
Rechargeable, so parks, campsites, and the middle of a yard all work.
Simple housing, no fragile parts, and a solution that won't stain the deck or their clothes.

Questions people ask first
Is the fog safe for kids?
Yes. It uses a water-based fog produced at low temperature, and the bubble solution is non-toxic. Kids can run through and pop them with their hands.
Will the solution stain clothes or the deck?
No. It's a non-staining formula and rinses off with water.
How long does a charge last?
Around 40–60 minutes of continuous use, which is longer than most parties need it running.
Can I use it indoors?
Yes. The fog is light and dissipates quickly. Put a towel down if you're running it for a long time on hard floors, since popped bubbles leave a little moisture.
Can I use my own bubble solution?
Yes, any standard bubble solution works. The included bottle gets you started.
Does it need a fog fluid too?
No — it makes fog from plain water, so there's nothing extra to buy.
What if I don't like it?
30 days, full refund, no explanation needed.
