VEVOR Cotton Candy Machine Commercial, 1000W Electric Floss Maker with Stainless Steel Bowl, Sugar Scoop, Storage Drawer, Perfect for Home, Carnival, Kids Birthday, Family Party, Pink

UPDATED: Out of the box it seems to be well made with simple controls and quality materials. The instructions mention the machine needs 15 minutes to warm up; we observed something closer to 30. Ensure you have a sufficiently heavy gauge extension cord depending on length for this 1000w machine.This machine emits floss from the center like a tornado unlike other machines that emit on the sides. Don't overload the sugar hopper. It seems to cycle on for about 15 seconds, then off for 30 so making 1 floss stick takes several minutes. Hood recommended to prevent candy flying away when used outdoors. With the additional caution of duty cycle of 1 hour and 15 minute rest, production is limited to about 15 to 20 sticks per hour. Perfect for small birthday parties of 10 to 15 kids. The machine is low cost so buy 2 for non stop commercial operation.Cleanup was very easy - with the machine on but heater off, pour a tumbler or two of hot water into the top and will with spin out taking left over sugar with it. Still needed to unscrew the lid and scrape out some burnt sugar but it was easy.

I bought this for my classroom and as a follow-up activity with my 8th graders after doing research on the history of cotton candy making. They absolutely loved it! It is very large, and heavy-duty, with no issues heating up or working properly for an entire day full of students making, making, and making some more. We used pieces of hard candy instead of sugars, and were able to do some pretty cool flavors (cinnamon!!). I did NOT buy the lid as it was, at the time, another $100, and that seems a bit excessive to me. A lid, however, would be very handy as bits of the candy/floss fly through the air and all over the walls--and you--not a deal breaker, and an easy clean, but definitely a mess. I recommend this product! Everybody loved it!

This works awesome and super easy to clean. I have 4 girls each a year apart from each other and I use it for sleep overs and parties!

We used this for my daughter's birthday party and it was a hit! We had a $35 dollar machine previously that didn't work very well (took 3+ minutes for a small cone). This machine needs 10+minutes on Max to preheat, but once heated, it did a large cone every 30-45 seconds.Unfortunately, the website is giving an error for photos, but they were fluffy and delicious clouds of sugar.

Great product and well built. It makes great cotton candy. Make sure you let both eat up per instructions, if not you’ll waste sugar. When it’s not hot enough, the sugar granules will be thrown out unmelted, making chunks in your cotton. For the most part cleaning is straight forward.Reason for four stars; to clean the heat plate and cover you have to unscrew the cover plate to clean out the sugar. And you can only wipe off the heat plate as it has electrical wires running to it. There should be a way to use a compression lock for the plate so you can easily clean up mad put it away.And the heat setting could use more range, because I can only get the sugar to melt all the way turned up. Makes having a heat setting dial useless in my opinion.

I ordered this item (new) and it showed up used with burnt sugar and dyed pink sugar all over it. I needed this for an event. I am beyond disappointed.

Easy to use and easy to clean

Works beautiful. Used upto 3 hours in one sitting. No problems. I would recommend getting the dome lid also, without it the cotton candy goes everywhere.
