No more in-and-out of the house to fill up at the sink, no more wasting water at the spigot, and no more pumping to pressurize! Turbo Fill Blasters™ make it fun and easy for kids as young as three to have a blast, blasting their competition! - FisherPrice.com
The Turbo Fill Blaster from Fisher Price was a great “first” water pistol for my daughter. I normally don’t condone any type of “gun” or weapon as a toy, but since this one is so brightly colored and the concept was so innovative, I couldn’t pass it up.
Being that my daughter is only 2, having to fill up an ordinary water pistol would probably be a task. I’m not sure she would have the coordination to get the water stream directly in the little fill-hole that most water pistols come with. With the Turbo Fill Blaster all you do is snap the unit into the base, which is connected to a garden hose, and the chamber fills up with water and air pressure. It takes literally about 15 seconds…pull the trigger and you’re ready to go. I thought that it was going to be difficult for her to snap the pistol on and off of the base, but it was actually quite easy for her.
I read a few of the reviews on Amazon.com and on FisherPrice.com for the Turbo Fill Blaster and a couple of people have complained about the entire unit not working after about 20 minutes. Honestly, I didn’t have this problem at all. We’ve been using the Turbo Fill Blaster for about a month now, even kept it out in the rain and sun, and it still works perfectly. Either those few people received units from a bad batch or Fisher Price corrected any problems they were having.
All in all, I think it’s a great outdoor toy for kids of any age. You can purchase a set that comes with one Blaster and one base, a set that comes with two Blasters and one base and you can also purchase individual Blasters and/or bases. The sets range from $20-$50. The Blasters are available in green, yellow and orange.
BTW…I was in Target the other day and overheard a parent saying that she’s been trying to buy one of the Fisher Price Turbo Fill Blasters for her son for over a month now and everytime she goes, they are sold out. My suggestion would be to just purchase it online at FisherPrice.com or Amazon.com to avoid a trip to the store.

She is so freakin’ cute – I’d buy the product no matter what it is!
Oh, how cute!! This looks like a great toy, I think it would be a great “toy” for grown-ups too. I could see the hubs playing with it with his friend Mark trying to get us girls (the wives) more than the kids.
Thanks for the review.
Great idea and it would be fantastic at school, except I’d need about 40 of them! Maybe the parents will buy ‘em? :::laffin:::
