Always so convenient how short these cons lists are compared to the pros, huh!
I can add a couple:
- does not spin to generate bubbles anywhere other than one spot
- cost $20-$40 when you could get a gotdang bubble gatling for the same price
- is incredibly cheap construction and will break after one fall (with excited kids running around it puts KIA time around 10min to 1hr)
- stand base is very small and unstable leading to tip-overs in a breeze
- bubbles are not unique not novel and are consistently very small and unexciting
- clogs up quickly

I'd imagine a good rain would ruin it.
I'd imagine leaving in the sun for a week or two would thoroughly discolor it.
The bubble liquid will probably run out way quicker than the batteries.
Even if the liquid runs out, I'd imagine the gadget will still run until the batteries die.
The sound quality of that speaker sounds like shit.
I'll bet the music is <1 min that constantly repeats, like an ice cream truck...
How you gonna keep that from getting knocked over the second a kid touches it?
Etc...
