Product description Candy Maker .com What kid can resist a cotton candy maker, especially one that actually works! All that's required for a carnival in the kitchen is this electric toy and some fine-grain household sugar. The cotton candy maker is composed of five pieces, including a charger and plug. By following the very explicit directions, children can make small batches of delicious cotton candy in one minute. Four AA batteries (not included) are required for the tabletop machine, and care should be taken to clean the unit as instructed or the sugar will clog the works. Four plastic and five paper sticks allow kids to share with others or to take the sweet snack on the move. --Laura Ferri

Better than the hand-held but still needs work
My sis, (surprise-she has no kids of her own), bought this for my then 3 1/2 yr old. I must admit that it works better than the hand-held version that sis also bought, but it still shuts down easily. You have to keep your finger on button for awhile & not release, which is hard for young to understand. If you release too soon, you have to wait for it to reset. It would be faster & easier to find a circus somewhere in the U. S. & go there than to mess w this toy. Of course it only takes its own refills which are quickly deplenished. I would not buy it ( & could kill sis for buying it). Ours sits on the shelf, waiting to go to Goodwill.

Lighten up! This is Great Fun!
What do some of you people expect for a 35 dollar toy? If you want tons of cotton candy go buy a commercial cotton candy maker for 800 bucks! This is great for what it is! I think it was pretty simple to figure out and it makes a good amount of cotton candy. This is meant to be fun for home, not meant to be a carnival style machine like most of you people expect. I had fun with it and would recommend it to anyone who has a lil craving for cotton candy.

Disappointment
I could not be more disappointed with this product. First of all, the product came in a box two or three times too large, and the box was open by the time it was received. Secondly, the machine does not come with any cotton candy mix. I had happened to get some while shopping, otherwise, we would have had none. At least it should contain one packet. Finally, after spending over an hour trying to get it to work, we had to give up. As my daughter's main Christmas present, she was understandably upset the rest of the day. I would never recommend anyone purchase this horrible product.

smell the burning sugar
This toy was fun for the kids but as an adult I was concerned about the flame that would occur every so often. I also found the directions vague.

Deluxe Cotton Candy Machine
After purchasing the Deluxe Cotton Candy Machine we are finally happy with our purchase. We have tried both the hand held machine made by the same company and the "Real Cotton Candy Maker" made by another company.Both previous purchases went back to the store due to bad performance. My child is finally happy after the third try.While industrial size machines cost hundreds and sometimes thousands it is nice to be able to provide my child with a cheaper, smaller version. While the instructions say to use fine table sugar, we purchased actual flavored cotton candy floss at a local resturaunt supply store store and it works fine and tastes much better than regular sugar.The only problem I have with this machine is that you have to hold the button down during the candy making process. It can be time consuming, but hey, it works, and my son is happy. That is the important part. If you are looking to purchase a cotton candy maker, look no further. Save yourself a lot of time at the return counter and purchase the "Deluxe Cotton Candy Maker". The company has finally got it right this time.

made the kids cry
The cotton machine was the best present of the year. My daughter was so excited. The machine worked maybe three times, we had all the sugar crystals and everything,since we had only had the machine a couple of weeks we retuned it to the store.but since it was after x-mas the store was out of stock. We did get another one but needless to say the same thing happened, it only worked a couple of times. Our daughter asks all the time if we can get another and now we cant find another one nor do we want to spend the money on something that does not work. Just thought you should know that we are all so very dissapointed in this product. Gene Green

This Is The Worst Toy I Ever Had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When i got this toy for xmas i thought wow now i can make cotton candy! but after i used it once it stopped working correctly. i put it away and forgot about it until yesterday(6\10\03). i got it out and it worked, but then, big suprise(not!!!)it it did the same thing it did the last time i used it! i tried to call the toll free # but it had been disconnected. then i tried to get their website but it "was under construction".so now im stuck w this piece of garbage. i advise those of u who haven't wasted their good $ yet to just save up and buy the real thing.
