Best Value Water Guns
As is true for most toys, the price can often reflect the quality regarding water guns. However, the Joyin 2 Pack breaks this mold. Despite its very reasonable cost, these water guns perform surprisingly well, and you get two for the price of one. This makes the set ideal for families with more than one child, or for adults who are young at heart.
These blasters won’t disappoint once you open them up, either. They boast a respectable 30-foot range that competes with many Super Soakers. Although their capacity isn’t extraordinary, it’s still more than adequate.
Just a heads-up, though: the Joyin 2 Pack blasters are larger than they might seem in promotional images. They’re quite substantial, so anyone using them will feel they’ve got their money’s worth.
Best All-Around Water Gun
Looking to add a bit of chaos to your water fights? This water gun is your answer. The pressure from firing activates two flexible tubes in the barrel to flail unpredictably, sending water spraying in all directions. It’s pure, fun chaos and nearly impossible to avoid.
But the Hydro Frenzy isn’t just about disorder. This is a three-in-one blaster with several distinct settings, so it’s more than just a novelty item. Apart from the chaotic mode, you can adjust the nozzle to spread the spray further or lock the tubes for a more traditional, straight-ahead water stream. The latter sends two jets of water forward and is surprisingly accurate, offering good range.
With a price tag under $20 / £20, you’re getting a lot of entertainment for your investment. Those looking for an unforgettable Super Soaker will find this model to be one of the best on the market.
