Hi, I have a Keepsake one,i find it great and easily carried around. Like anything new it took a while to master attaching the balloons but once you master that you will have great fun xxx

I am trying to get one just now - have been looking at the Keepsake one with the stretcharoo to get the neck opened and held easier and the flower attachement to put flowers inside heart shaped balloons but it has to be shipped over from US and I am just so nervous about ordering it as it is a lot of money ;0(  I have tried and tried to get one here in UK - thought it would be easy but just can't locate what I want - wouldn't matter if it was new or 2nd hand as long as it was in vgc and worked well.  anybody actually bought one from keepsake international and had it shipped over here ???  Was it an easy transaction and did the machine need any adaptions to work here at all ???  someone on here said I might need a transformer to use it on our electric supply as the US power supply is different to ours ???  Also were there any extra customs charges etc to get it here ?  I do wish we could buy UK made decent machines here for the purpose would be so much easier ;0(

Yes the electricity would be different and there is 27% VAT to pay on imports from America.

has anyone got the dimensions of the dome part, it must be able to be manufactured here if demand exists.  I tried to make a box but did not seal well enough to work .

I've had a look and can't seem to find any...would you mind sharing the link if you can?..And if you mean the keepsake from the USA, I'm trying to above? Avoid that really as after custom charges and tax it will be a fortune..

There is a lady from the Hull area selling off her stock, including her stuffing machine. She posted details on Balloon Twister Central on Facebook. I have contacted her and it is for a happy reason though it is always sad when someone disbands a business.
