Abstract: In this contribution I summarize the main characteristics and effects that are observed during outbursts of symbiotic stars: properties of the hot- and warm-type outbursts, enhanced mass outflow occasionally followed by ejection of bipolar jets, and the emergence of a neutral near-orbital-plane region. The results presented were largely obtained using small telescopes, supplemented by observations from the archives of terrestrial and space observatories.
