I can not get the balloon to deflate no matter how hard I punch the button on top. What to do&gt;

I'm sorry, I can't help you, since I can't keep the balloon inflated. Mine sags after 5 minutes, so I don't have your problem!

You have to manually compare to another balloon. It will not automatically shutoff when reaching certain size, if thats what you are asking.

Be sure to pull the inflation stem all the way out to inflate otherwise you're wasting your breath. (I'm assuming that you can't get any air into it.)

I simply plugged it into the electrical outlet at my camp site and pressed the button. It inflated very quickly and stayed inflated. I then did the same, in reverse, to deflate.

You need two adults to deflate the thing. its very frustrating if you try to do it solo.

Yep that is how it should be done. Maybe you didn't push the pin in far enough. Make sure the threaded end in screwed tightly into the metal pump, and the needle goes into the inflation site. Try pushing it in further to the Cushion. It should work. Otherwise maybe the pump is defective. Good luck!

Use an air mattress pump or an inflatable boat pump. After fully inflated this devise works great. No need to poke a hole anywhere. There has to be sufficient pressure on the valve in order to open it.

You have to squeeze the holes just right while you are blowing the air in. This keeps the air from coming back out between breaths. You have to pinch the valve so that it opens and the air can go through. Hope this helps!

Yes! Very easy to use.. Just slide the balloon on and blow it up. Worked great!

The ball is deflated inside of the box. There is a hand pump inside the box that you must use to inflate the ball

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

There's a small button on the bottom. Seems to work when you press it and blow at the same time.

I know...I feel for you...There are like a million places to inflate on this thing. It has been a while since I did it, and I wish I could remember where exactly they are. I do remember the more you blow up, the more appear to be blown up. So keep inflating, and they will appear!!! I do know the little ones really loved it. Wish I could be of more use to you!!! Good Luck!!! : )

I have the same problem, next time I will buy the top loading one. All you do is just push down and the potatoe falls on a plate

We had an air pump at the hotel and they blew it up for us. The second time I let the kids blow it up they are 12 and 13. I think it's harder to deflate. lol. Good luck and enjoy

It's outfitted with two small air holes such as you find on regular inflatable toys. Make sure your air pump has a nozzle that will fit in and you're good to go. I recommend using a manual air pump, otherwise it will take awhile to blow up, and if you use an air compressor you could over inflate it. FYI: Takes a bit of time to deflate too, as all the air has to come out of those tiny holes, but it was super fun to play around on.

I just looked on mine and I do not see any input holes for manual inflating.
