Review: So much better than expected after reading negative reviews. I love it. - I was super worried about this. I bought it on an impulse and then read a lot of reviews that basically made me expect to spend 15+ minutes to get a tiny amount of gritty, low-quality candy. The worst reviews said it broke, it was impossible to take apart, or it just straight up didn't work. I fired it up yesterday when it arrived and could not be more pleased with the results. I used a single Jolley Rancher, crushed up with a hammer in a ziplock bag and poured carefully into the provided tablespoon scoop. I then topped of the rest of the tablespoon with regular old white sugar. Let it heat and spin for 10 minutes, then turn it off for just long enough to add the sugar/candy without it spraying everywhere. Turn it back on immediately. Use the stick vertically only for long enough to attach the cotton candy to the cone. Then pull it out of the bowl and hold it horizontally above the center, rotating it and moving a bit as necessary to make sure you're pulling the candy out of the bowl. Worked fantastically for me. Taste was great, texture was great, after 1 or 2 tries I got the hang of it and it was really easy to use. Takes like 2 minutes or less to go through the 1 tbsp of sugar/candy, and made a reasonably good amount of cotton candy. Don't expect it to be a huge bag like you buy. I let it spin and heat for 5 minutes or so in between adding sugar to make another cone. Later I got a bit ambitious and decided to try about 1.5-2 tablespoons, despite the instructions saying not to use more than 1 at a time. Sure enough, it converted most of the sugar/candy into a ring of melted sugar flung around the edge of the bowl and actually made about 50% LESS cotton candy than just using a single tablespoon. So I guess stick to the directions. Cleanup was surprisingly easy. A little hot water on the bowl sections and the caked on sugar that I was sure would be a nightmare fell right off. I wiped it down with a soapy sponge and rinsed it. Total cleanup time was like 5 minutes. I'm fully expecting to gain 70 pounds in the next month making cotton candy every day. This thing works if you use it right. Don't worry about the bad reviews.
Review: Don't listen to bad reviews, really good product. - After reading negative reviews, I thought this would make bad quality cotton candy. It makes really good cotton candy, and it is overall an amazing machine, but it has some pros and cons. Pros:It is fun to make up fun flavors It is really, really easy to clean (in warm water) It is enjoyable to gather the webs of cotton candy and make cones Cons:It is so fun making cotton candy, it is hard to stop coming up with new flavors. Makes brittle, crunchy cotton candy if you don't let it heat up enough. (5-7 minutes works really well) The cotton candy is really good, but it makes small cones with 2 candies, but good sized cones with 4 candies. For best results, don't put hard candy in if it hasn't heated up for at least 5 minutes. If you are making multiple batches, make some cotton candy and put it on a plate, then leave the machine running while you get more candy ready. Whole hard candies work the best, so don't use flossing sugar or crushed hard candies, or you have to heat the machine up for 10-15 minutes. It still works well, but whole hard candies work better. I have been experimenting, and some really good recipes for cotton candy are: 1 raspberry lifesavers+1 pineapple life savers, 1 werther's+1 rootbeer barrel, and one red lifesavers/cherry candy (something red and fruity)+ 1 red hot candy. Don't listen to bad reviews, because they are just reviews from people that don't read the instructions. This is a really, really good product. I would definitely buy it again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It said to cool before cleaning, now the candy is stuck, can i reheat and clean the center?**
A: The machine needs to cool before you can take it apart to clean.  However, before turning the machine off to cool, I let it run for a while after I am done making the cotton candy to let any candy left in it a chance to melt all the way and spin out.  Then after cooling, I can take off the removeable parts to clean as directed in the instructions, and the only stuck candy will be on the plastic parts, which is easily washed off.

**Q: I want to use this for a child's birthday party. It it suited to make multiples?**
A: I used it for my son's 4th birthday. I was there forever just for one. I  love it as a Movie Night thing but not for a party

**Q: how long can the candy floss last for? can I make it ahaed and serve it a few hours later?**
A: It makes real Cotton Candy so it last the same. If you bagged it in airtight bags it may last a day or two. At least keeping the machine running, you don't have to wait 10 minutes to preheat it. Just stop it to add sugar and/or candy.

**Q: How much floss sugar do I need to make for 2 people?**
A: 1 tablespoon of floss sugar makes 2 small cones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super fun machine. Easy to use and tastes great!
*by J***N on February 16, 2017*

fun machine. Has been well used by my ten year old. It says you can crush up hard candy and you can but... the cotton candy does not fluff up as much. We found regular table sugar works great and tastes great. We have not tried buying special flavored sugars yet. She has made cotton candy for neighbor friends as free treats, for home parties, for yard sale to earn money and every time it works great. We do wish the cord was a bit longer for outside use, we just use an extension cord though so its fine. Clean up is fairly easy. Hard for her to do on her own because the middle metal part has to be pulled off once cooled and its really hard to do without the help of an adult. The rest of it cleans in hot water fast. Its a quiet machine. we love it and every time its used we think how much of a great buy it was for so much fun. *as far as time to make .. for large puffy cotton candy , it can take a good 30 min to make about 7 . remembering from the last time she made a bunch to deliver to friends. As long as you follow the instructions closely, allowing proper heat up time etc , and practice a lot (takes some getting used to on how to make it) it will be a lot of fun for you too!
