I used them at my son’s birthday party and this was an instant hit. I think it works better with cotton candy floss sugar than hard candy. I bought floss sugar from Amazon which came in different flavors.

The cotton candy maker was really fun with my kids easy to use and easy to put together. I do recommend buying the flavored sugar to make it go faster when making it.

I had low expectations for this product, but my wife and I are quite surprised on how well this machine works. I knocked off a star because of the constant rattling that takes place when the machine gets going. I'm not sure if it's the surface it's on or what. Also, the plastic rim on top tends to pop off due to the vibration of the unit. Other than that, the machine does make some pretty good cotton candy for our weekly family movie night.

Overall this is a great cotton candy maker. The only thing I do not like about it is that the top ring does not stay on and you have to hold it in place. It makes a lot of noise. Wondering if its just this one particular machine. It makes great cotton candy is really is easy to use. I like that you can use hard candy in it also. I would recommend it to anyone. We have fun making the cotton candy.

We got this on sale for $19.99 and made several batches with our 4 yr old granddaughter. Our 1st batch we used jolly ranchers. We crushed two hard candies in a zip lock bag. The machine worked great. The bad thing was the cotton candy turned into harder cotton candy. It was good but not as soft as cotton candy from the fair. I also bought a box of floss sugar on Amazon and that turned out to be the trick. The floss sugar made soft and delicious cotton candy. Great fun and good eats!

This is an amazing little machine for making at home cotton candy. I've tried many and this is the best. It's not super noisy and simple to use. A bit overpriced in my personal opion but it works and it's GREAT. One note I'd stress to anyone who buys this product though is to READ THE DIRECTIONS fully. It's so easy to destroy if you don't. There are certain hard candies you can not use in the machine and you have to keep it clean. I've tried regular sugar and jolly ranchers and it was fantastic!

My wife loves cotton candy, so I bought this item. Very easy to use, but doesn't make a lot in a short time. You can only use two pieces of hard candy at a time. My wife uses Jolly Ranchers of all flavors. Good product that's not to pricey and if you have time to spare, but could be better with greater capacity.

This is a fun machine for the kids. They love making their own cotton candy. And making different flavors keeps them wanting to use it.
Good price for the fun you will have.

It was nice to be able to just add any candy flavors the kids wanted. Amazing to see that it only takes 2 candies to make it. You do not have to buy anything else special. I also watched a qucick video on line on how to do it. Easy enough for kids. Not messy. Clean up is a breeze!

I bought this on sale for $29.99 after Christmas (It is normally $49.99) so I thought I was getting a pretty good deal on it. We used to have a Cotton Candy machine and it worked awesome. You got quit a bit of cotton candy when it made a batch. But we just didn't use it that often so I got rid of it in a garage sale. That was a few years ago. I figured they would be better and more advanced now in this technical world we live in. Also it said on the box that you could use hard candy to make the cotton candy with. I was excited to get it home and try it out. But it did not live up to my expectations. It doesn't allow you to put more than 2 pieces of candy ( jolly ranchers for example) and you hardly get any cotton candy out of it. And right before it finally starts making the cotton it makes this noise and starts spitting out these little chunks that splatter against the side of the bowl and then you start seeing the silky strands of cotton candy. I am pretty disappointed in this product and would not recommend it and definitely not for 50.00. I wouldn't have spent 30.00 on it had I known it would perform like this.

It does what it's supposed to do. It's a little noisy and vibrates pretty good but may be because the kids put it together and didn't seat the part that spins all the way down. Problem with that is once it's been used a few times I can't get it off to install it correctly. So may not be a product issue as much as making sure you put it together properly. It does make cotton candy though.

I normally wouldn't think to buy my child a cotton candy machine for Christmas, but I was short on ideas. Turns out, this was the best gift ever! It works extremely well and is really easy to clean up. I read other reviews saying the cones do not catch the sugar very well, I think they work excellent. No problems here! We love it!

Love love this machine!! U can take any flavor hard candy and turn into ur favorite cotton candy!! And it tastes like the hard candy!! Not a tasteless cotton candy like the kind u get on the boardwalk! But if u do like that they also sell the powder sugar to pour and make ur candy. I only gave four stars because u cant put a lot of hard candy at once. A little at a time… but that way u get satisfaction with less candy so i guess u can say its a win-win!

i like the idea of making my own cotton candy and got sick of buying it . Warning this is time consuming and manufacture's instruction to use product with only 2 candies is not that fun. But it is a way to bond with family with laughs and a little sweetness. buyer beware machine is loud and moves .

I purchased this for my daughter and she loves it! It's easy to use and clean up. I'm not a big cotton candy fan, but I thought it produced a good tasting product. Make sure you use only hard candy!

It does not produce as much cotton candy as a regular standard 'carnival' type machine. The different hard flavored candies in fun to experiment with. Some hard candies work better than others when producing the cotton candy 'floss'. Overall, the amount of candy you get after one batch is just enough for kids and the option to use sugar free hard candy is nice too.
