7 inch conic
£4.55
MLE Pyrotechnics
29 secs

Cones this size are normally too small for a big display, but rated at 25m, require too much distance for a small display. Potent enough - just - for 25m but recommended with caution.

13 inch conic
£11.00
MLE Pyrotechnics
47 secs

Crackling is an understatement with MLE's entry into the 13" conic fountain charts. Lower duration and height is offset by an impressive width.

Blue Ghost
£2.00
MLE Pyrotechnics
60 secs

Sixty seconds of fountain for £2 is not to be sniffed at. But fails to trouble the double-priced Gemstones thanks to its 25m rating.

Silver Pyramid
£4.99
Black Cat
50 secs

Three conics from BC, all say "Eject stars" so we fired all three to see what they do. This is the silver version, the best of the three.

£4.99
Black Cat

The gold version of Silver Pyramid, but a completely different kettle of fish and much less potency.

Splendid Flowers
£4.99
Black Cat
95 secs

A 25m version of Kimbolton's 5m Gemstones so you'd expect much bigger effects. But I'm afraid you don't get them!

Another valiant but ultimately flawed attempt to match Kimbolton's garden fountains.

Millennium
45 secs

Stunning conic fountain from Millennium which delivers brilliant value for money. See this one measured next to a 6ft fence!

Giant Cone Pack
£9.99
Kimbolton
26 secs

A four pack of mini-fountains from Kimbolton mixing silver and crackling effects. Not as packed as they seem from the outside though. Updated with two video clips and some stunning photography by Tony.

Witches Cauldron
£1.55
Vulcan
35 secs

Looking like it might have escaped from a selection box, a small fountain from Vulcan.
