This was found in Nana's Present room after she passed. That's where she kept loads of toys, clothes and general stuff that the grandkids might like, need or want. And that room was packed. Opening the closet itself was a danger in case things started falling from the shelves. Yet I find myself in awe of the range of items Nana had, ‘just in case.’
This was obviously used, and it looks like it had a lot of use. It is vintage, and it has a Placo sticker that got bubbles on it at some time in the past. We couldn’t even find a comparable to this. We eventually found that this model has been updated and is now called the Billion Bubbles Turbo Bubble Generator Bubble Machine.
Sadly, we are past the bubble ages in this house. We used to have gallons of bubbles. We couldn’t find one to test this on. So, my husband found the recipe and we made it. We tried to do it outside but it was too cold and the bubbles burst. We moved inside, and it worked, spitting them out one after another. We are not sure how accurate it is because homemade bubbles are not as consistent as store bought.
Also, we accidentally recorded the video on 100% for sound. Neither of us remembers that noise, but assume we are old and deaf, please. We had a vintage pumpkin bubble machine and we just put it behind decorations for Halloween.
Please zoom in and look at everything before you buy. We are pretty sure you will be happy with your purchase, but we can’t guarantee it, and we try very hard to be 100% sure how everything is working. The middle of winter is a hard time for this item. And please know, we do NOT take returns. That’s why we chose this price point.
We take videos so you can see the item works. If the site doesn’t allow video, message us to figure out how to get it to you. Our items DO NOT come with batteries.
Boxed for shipping, this weighs 1 lb 15 oz and measures 11” x 9” x 6”.
