Our verdict
These are really partners rather than rivals, and one frequently needs the other. SHATCHI's 10-pack of 12-inch white latex balloons (£2.68 at the time of writing, 4.3 stars) are 20% thicker than ordinary balloons and can be air-filled or helium-filled. Helium King's disposable canister (£40.95, 4.1 stars) inflates up to 50 9-inch latex balloons or around 18 foil ones, though overfilling cuts that count and the lower rating hints some buyers ran short. If taped-up, air-filled decorations will do, skip the canister entirely and pocket the difference. If floating balloons are non-negotiable for the occasion, the canister is the price of that magic.
Which one is for you?
- Buy the SHATCHI white balloons if air-filled decorations suit your party and you want thick balloons for very little. Read our full look at the SHATCHI White Balloons 10 Pack, Large →
- Buy the Helium King canister if floating balloons are essential and you'd rather inflate at home than trek to a shop. Read our full look at the Helium King Disposable Helium Gas Canister →
