Nostalgia Cotton Candy Machine - Retro Cotton Candy Machine for Kids with 2 Reusable Cones, 1 Sugar Scoop, and 1 Extractor Head – Red

I finally did it! I've always wanted a cotton candy maker, but never ever thought I would actually have one. I'm 67 and the last time I had cotton candy was probably more than 20 years ago. I had forgotten all about it until Costco brought it in a few weeks ago. I bought and ate 4 Costo size bags of cotton candy all by myself. Each bag has 14 bags inside. The amount I paid for those 4 bags of cotton candy were more than the machine cost.I got it this morning and have already treated myself to 4 cones of beautiful, delicious, fluffy cotton candy!! Right in the privacy of my own home!!!!!! I'm definitely living my own dream.The machine is so easy to use. The instructions are easy to follow. It's easy to clean, which I did after every use. I've cleaned that thing many times today already, and I feel another cleaning coming on ;)It didn't come with any ingredients to make cotton candy, but it did come with 2 plastic cones. I placed a separate order for 3 different sugars and a bunch of paper cones, which worked brilliantly!

The media could not be loaded. Let’s just say I am obsessed with this machine! My husband got it for me for an early Mother’s Day gift! It takes a little bit to get the hang of it, but when you do, it goes super quick. I have probably made 20 batches so far. I did take a break and clean it in between. I did about 6 to 8 batches per run. I only used one scoop per run. It made a decent amount . Very impressed. Very easy to clean as well. I’m not gonna lie. I even set it up in my living room so I could watch TV as I made cotton candy to put into bags for later. You could also eat the sugar that is left on the side like a rainbow. I will definitely be putting this to the test as my daughter’s graduation party is June 28 and we’re going to use it for that. We’re gonna let the teenagers make their own cotton candy. I did have to buy cotton candy sugar from a different seller. I have not tried hard candies yet. It also matches my hot cocoa maker that I got for Christmas from the same company. Which I love that as well.

I received this as a gift from my husband after mentioning to him that I loved cotton candy and would love to always have some around. Fast forward to now, and I e used this baby so many times, and it's always given me sweet results lol.Here's some pros and cons I've picked up over the time I've used it:Pros:-Can use pretty much any hard candy/rock sugar-once hot, it starts producing instantly-very easy to assemble, only 3 parts-sizable enough to store easilyCons:-takes about 10 minutes to fully heat up-once at its highest spinning speed, the machine shakes and slowly agitates around counter-plastic cones were not as practical as expected, and they get dirty/messy fast- can be difficult to clean the machine under the spinning element, so overtime, it may smell like burnt sugar, but the smell does begin to disappear after 10-15 minutesOverall, I think having a cotton candy machine is perfect for at home family fun, or just to have a sweet treat when you want, like myself. For the price, it was a great value considering how long and how much it was used. I would recommend this to any beginner cotton candy maker

Not worth the money. We used it once and it worked just OK. Very small batches and you can only do like 3 at a time without having to cool it off and start again. Tried to use it again months later and had nothing but problems. Maybe the Floss went stale because it was months later. All I know is this machine is horrible to try and clean, only makes small batches and isn't worth the frustration. I would NOT buy this product. If you want cotton candy at home buy a real cotton candy machine. Not this toy.
