It worked pretty well for an at home machine. We had a different brand that we bought locally and returned it. My granddaughters were happy with the results we got with the Waring pro. Of course it is not as good as a commercial machine. but the price isn't anything like it either.

Hi Raggedy Mann, It's a good thing others answered this for you, because I gave this away as gift, therefore I didn't use it myself and don't know. I did however taste the results, so the kit does work. Good luck & have fun!

we purchased it for use with a 14 year old. It does work; however it makes a very tiny cone of cotton candy at a time; and then has to be cooled down and refilled with sugar and run again. We decided that a commercial style is much more worth the money and effort if buying one at all!

This seems normal to me, I would not worry about it. I have talked to adults who remember what a treat it was as a kid to get the sugar off the side of the bowl, so that tells me this has been happening for many years. I find that if I do not have sugar on the inside of the bowl people will not order cotton candy because they don't want to be the first to get the machine dirty. If people can see your machine, make sure it has sugar in the bowl before you open for business.

Yes it will. It only takes a tablespoon at a time in the cotton cand maker so the assortment of flavors will last a long time depending on how many kids you are entertaining.

I'm sorry, I dont know. I have only bought cotton candy already in tubs. My guess would be to google cotton candy accessories or supplies to find them but any plastic tub w/ lid would probably do.

Yes. That is the only place I've used it and always with a cotton ball. The woman that does my wax gave me a bottle years ago. It works well....but I would'nt do it if there's the slightest chance of intimacy.

Yes. Some work better than others though. I believe there is a review somewhere here that gives a list of candies that have worked and ones that have not.

Yes, it actually makes more cotton candy and heats up faster and better than the two pieces of hard candy required if you choose to. I purchase the pink vanilla too my daughter and her friends love it, not too sweet. Holds up great in the cabinet doesn't get hard or clump.Best prices on Amazon in party stores are $25.

Yes, I have, and it does work. One problem with some graters is that the chocolate melts from the friction of grating. It also depends on the chocolate... No cheese grater is perfect for chocolate, but this one will do the job.

It is great. Very easy to clean. It uses a good amount of sugar but that is what it uses to make the cotton candy.

Disappointed in this cotton candy machine. I actually sent it back. It burned me. The machine gets very hot and the lid doesn't stay on.

Ok, so I did a test for you. I made 3 servings and it took 8 minutes. I would definitely recommend using threading sugar which you can order from amazon. It's really easy and each serving gets you a little more than a baseball-size serving. You turn it on and let it heat up for 3 minutes, then you shut it off and let the spinner atop(about a minute), pour in your 1-serving of threading sugar or 2 crushed candies, turn it back on and it starts making cotton candy immediately. Basically, you have to shut it off and wait for the spinner each time you make a serving. I'm happy to answer any other questions! And oh, don't use those colored sugared sprinkles. I did and it burned and made a mess. I also tried it with crushed hard candy and that worked well too. But you would need to use a basic hard candy like the consistency of a butterscotch disc or candy cane.... Jolly ranchers don't work very well.

I think that you can. It is a bit more like brown sugar in that it's more moist than white sugar, but it would probably work. You can look online for how to use the "Ball Test" when making candy, or you can use a candy thermometer to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature as per your recipe. I tried once to make candy on a very humid, overcast day & it did not firm up, so I'd recommend making the candy on a clear day :)

yes. I change different candy all the time. I use the gumball one for peanut m&m;

It can do gum balls, nuts, m&m;'s, etc.... Any bulk candy really. To give you an idea of candy size and how much it gives, I get about 30 m&m;'s with it set to drop the maximum it can with one quarter. So far I have no problems at all with these machines.
