Most of the water blasters for sale this year aren’t much for innovation – there’s only so much you can do when it comes to launching water, after all. Whereas Nerf has gone the branding route with Fortnite blasters, Buzz Bee has elected to continue making relatively inexpensive water blasters with some neat features. The Saturator features a large reservoir, manual blasting, and trigger-based stream settings. For $15, it’s a good option for today’s water wars.
Power and Pressure
If the user pulls the trigger, water fires out of the four secondary nozzles. This allows for the user to quickly dump water, given the large effective cross section. You won’t have as much distance, but you’ll be able to pump faster.
Final Thoughts
In case specific numbers appeal to anyone, I averaged 37mL of water with each pump stroke. Given the high capacity, the Saturator will offer quite a few shots, and heavy ones at that.
The Saturator may not have the inherent appeal of the classic soaker platform (build pressure, pull trigger, proceed to drench). In today’s saoker market, however, it offers nice capacity, firing volume, and firing options – the user can go for distance, or simply dump water on a nearby target. For your average backyard soaker fight, the Saturator is a great option.
