The Candery Cotton Candy Machine – Bright, Colorful Style- Makes Hard and Sugar Free Candy, Sugar Floss, Homemade Sweets for Birthday Parties – Includes 10 Cones & Scooper

AMAZING MACHINE. The media could not be loaded.  This is a wonderful machine for a good price. I am so pleased with my purchase. We have used this for 5 days straight for a couple of hours each time and it is still going strong. We used it for a few hours at my daughter’s 5th birthday party with no problems. We use the Gold Medal brand Flossugar and with this machine, it makes DELICIOUS cotton candy, just like at the fair. Better than the pre-packaged cotton candy. One scoop makes a fair amount. Not too small and not too big. However, I pour in 2 scoops of flossugar per round and it worked just the same. It didn’t overheat, did not overflow, did not get jammed. I made real big ones, so I did 2 or 3 rounds of 2 scoops per round per cone of cotton candy. The pics and video I posted are of the ones I made using 2 scoops and 2 or 3 rounds. And the super big one was a lot of rounds. No problem with the machine at all! It spits out a lot of floss. Even if I only put one scoop in there, it still makes a fair amount of cotton candy fluff. It was a big hit at the birthday party. When it first starts off, it is quiet. But after a while, it gets loud. The noise doesn’t bother me. It’s a great machine and good for the price. The sticks the product comes with aren’t good. You won’t be able to stick cotton candy on them. I purchased the cotton candy stick cones separate. It took me about 3 tries to figure out the best way to make the cotton candy. DONT stick your cone inside the machine and twirl it around while it’s making floss. You won’t get a lot (if any) that way. Instead, wait for a fair amount of floss to be produced by the machine and then put your cone ON TOP of the machine and twirl the cone. The floss will stick to the cone. Move your cone around and continue to twirl and you’ll get a nice round stick (and plenty of) of cotton candy. ***Take a look at my video of me making the cotton candy and also my pictures to get a better idea ***It’s also very important to let the machine heat up for 10 minutes every single time you take it out to use it. I personally let it heat for 12-13 minutes. Be patient and wait the full 10+ so minutes for it to warm up. Otherwise, it will hardly produce any cotton candy floss and in the end, it’s going to take longer to make one if it isn’t heated properly. Once you get started actually making the cotton candy, the machine isn’t slow. It’s not super duper fast like with the super expensive and big commercial machine at the fair, but it’s not slow either. It spits out the floss pretty fast once the sugarfloss melts, and that itself (the sugar melting into floss) takes only a few minutes, I would say less than 3-5 minutes. I found that the longer I use it, when making multiple cones one after the other, the machine melts the sugar much faster and much more efficiently.I want to add, when the machine appears it isn’t making cotton candy anymore, BUT you see sugar stuck to the sides of the applicator, turn the machine off. I use a wooden chopstick and scrape the floss that is stuck to the sides of the floss applicator where you pour the floss in. Let the sugar you scraped off fall back into the applicator. Note: you are NOT removing the sugar stuck on there, but simply scraping it to let it fall back into the applicator. It doesn’t do this all the time but it does happen from time to time. Takes 5 seconds to scrape off the sugar left on the sides. Not a big deal. After I scrape off , I turned it on again and the machine INSTANTLY makes the remaining cotton candy from the remaining sugarflos. Once none of the sugar was left inside the applicator, that’s when I refilled it.*** See my video and photos to get a better idea of why I rated this product 5 STARS ***EDIT: I have been using this daily for 2 weeks now. Still makes great cotton candy but it is very loud. Just wanted to mention that in case anyone is bothered by loud machines. However, it still makes delicious cotton candy and at a reasonable time. I don’t need to wait forever for it to start making the threads.

Works perfectly! Makes fluffy, delicious C.C. out of flossing sugar, regular sugar or hard candies, cleans up SO easily! LOVE IT. My 8 year old wanted a cotton candy maker for Christmas, that’s all she cared about – well, I always get nervous buying something when I see negative reviews in the mix, but I though “what the heck, lets try it”. Let me tell you, I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! This machine works BEAUTIFULLY! It’s not that noisy (as others mentioned) I’ve had industrial sized machines, they ALL make some sort of noise, that’s just par for the course – but compared to other cotton candy machines of this size, this one is actually quieter than most. Another gripe I see people making is that it doesn’t work well or “takes too long” – you have to read the instructions, it clearly states you HAVE to let it heat up for 5 minutes first, this makes ALL the difference in the world! (Just like industrial machines, it’s got to get up to the heat level – like preheating your oven before cooking) and if you turn off the machine for a couple minutes to restock your supplies, let it preheat again for another 2-4 minutes. It produced the fluffiest, prettiest cotton candy and it was absolutely easy to roll onto the cones. The trick there is to not stick the cone into the machine to gather the cotton candy, lay it parallel to the top of the machine on the SIDE of the opening (not over the heating element or it will melt the candy on the cone) and just twirl, it gathers BEAUTIFULLY and quickly! Also a HUGE selling point for me is the ease of cleaning! I thought it would be difficult as melted sugar solidifies when cooled and it will collect, all over, the inside of the heating unit and plastic collection rim – but it was actually VERY VERY easy to clean! A huge plus for the adults lol The heating center comes out by pulling it up (after it’s cooled of course!) and everything comes clean with a rinse or light wiping with a sponge and hot water! Simple! I LOVE that you can use flossing sugar, regular sugar: we dye & flavor our own with food coloring & extract, then let it “dry” for a little while. Even used it when it was still a little moist with NO problems! We made orange, lemon, root beer, and rum flavored ones (for the adults lol) using regular extracts you buy in the stores! AND it takes hard candies! We didn’t have any sugar on Christmas morning, thanks to our Christmas coffee lol so we used the candy canes off the tree – some of the best cotton candy I’ve ever had! So far we have used: candy canes, peppermints, jolly ranchers, butterscotches, and hard root beer candies, and they’ve all worked perfectly! (You can’t use anything tacky or gummy like taffy, gummy bears, starbursts etc obviously) Also love that you can use the sugar free candies as we have a few ppl with dietary restrictions in the family – so sugar free cotton candy it is for them, and it comes out perfectly & cant tell the difference in taste! Sorry for the long review but I’m just EXTREMELY happy with this purchase and product! It does come with a handful of cones (although I prefer the bigger ones since the cotton candy doesn’t really stick to the skinny ones that well) and doesn’t come with any flossing sugar, but the price is worth just the machine alone and since you can use anything you already have, or just buy a cheap bag of $2 candies – totally worth it! Thank you for bringing smiles to all 3 of my kids faces (as well as the adults) this will definitely be in rotation on a regular basis and will DEFINTELY be used for their birthday parties! No more store bought cotton candy with questionable additives that doesn’t taste that great to begin with. The way my kids eat cotton candy, it paid for itself already! 😂

So much fun. My son asked for a cotton candy maker for Christmas and after reading tons of reviews on different ones out there, I purchased this one and I am glad I did! It is really easy and simple to use and to clean up. I was scared it was going to be a mess but it wasn’t. We didn’t encounter any problems and made 9 cotton candy servings and the unit maintained consistent temperature and did not make a lot of noise as some reviews mentioned. This isn’t meant to be an industrial maker so if you plan to use it for large events maybe buy multiple ones but for a family fun activity it is perfect. After reading some other reviews I learned the best way to get the cotton candy on the cones is to twirl it in the threads as soon as you see the machine blow them out and then keep the cone above the machine and spin it between your fingers wrapping the cotton candy around it as it shoots up. If you place the cones too close or inside the bowl it stops the threads from being blown up and out and you won’t get as much cotton candy. Clean up is 5 quick pumps of water into the maker while still hot from the spray bottle included and then washing the bowl. Easy peasy. I love couldn’t be happier with our first go at this thing!

Does not include flavored sugar. I just assumed it came with flavored sugar, but no. Luckily I had purchased extra which saved the party. They ought to make it clear that ‘flavored sugar not included’ just like packages that say batteries not included.

Fun machine! Pretty good results. I must admit one thing before starting to talk about this product. I did buy this at 3 AM on impulse because I saw HopeScope talking about it. However, unlike most other impulse purchases I make, I do not regret this one. While it is sort of an investment to make for candy, it is cool and fun to be able to make your own cotton candy at home. It was one of the cheapest ones I saw, too. It isn’t too confusing to use and comes with all of the necessary pieces. As someone who has never made cotton candy before this, I can confidently say that I learned this in 5 minutes. A couple of things to remember, though, is that 1. It does not come with any sugar. 2. You will want to do this outside because the sugar will fly through the air. 3. When making cotton candy with this, start by spinning it with the stick vertically, then switch to horizontal when you get a good base. 4. The cotton candy may not stick too well to the provided straws. The easiest way to clean this (in my opinion) is to spray water on it and then turn it on, making it spin and heat the water while doing so. It will melt down any other sugar so that you can then just rinse it off. This cotton candy machine is pretty good.
