What's great about it: Easy and fun to use!
What's not so great: Nothing!
We gave this to my son's friend. He loved it! It is very flexible. It comes with the machine and two cones to build the cotton candy on. The parts easily come off to wash. It does not come with any products to make the candy with, however, you can make the cotton candy out of sugar or any hard candy. We had crystals that we used to decorate cupcakes with, we used that also. The kids had a blast making it. You can also buy lifesavers and use those. It's amazing how much it makes. Great buy!

What's great about it: Small, price
What's not so great: No samples, need a lot of candy
Surprised this machine does not have any samples or even suggested where to buy them (flavored sugar). We ended up using hard candy (same ones they had on their picture in the manual). Worked great the first try but then it got messy. The machine blew strands all over the place and you also have to place a lot of candy to make a decent size. Returned it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: cotton candy when ever you want it.
What's not so great: dont use hard candy
great machine, but DO NOT use hard candy. it works great but the hard candy looks and feels like plastic. so i bought some floss sugar and make cotton candy all the time now. so spend a few dollars and get the good stuff if you want real cotton candy.
also make sure it is total cool before you take the metal center off because you will worp it and it will wobble bad.

What's great about it: Cotton candy at home, anytime!!!
What's not so great: Need to pre-heat for each batch. Wish it came with more sticks for more people to enjoy it.
Great idea! It takes a little practice to get the technique right but then it's very simple to use. Makes cotton candy from any hard candy, we even used cough drops to see if it would work.

What's great about it: Makes a great candy treat and cleans up quickly
Get one of these and you'll be the hit of the party. Make sure you get the one that specifies hard candy because then you can use any two pieces of hard candy to make your cotton candy. That gives you virtually unlimited flavors!
It cleans up easily. You just have to let it cool down first.

What's great about it: Makes great tasting cotton candy
What's not so great: Only makes small amount each time
This unit is great for making small amounts of homemade cotton candy. It was easy to put together and easy to clean. Although it was a little hard to keep the candy on the plastic stick that is included, my 7 year old grandson could make it himself with close supervision. There is a heating element that does get hot. I don't know how durable it will be; it was the first use.

What's great about it: It's purpose
What's not so great: messy
It's a great, really cool concept and useful for it's purpose. Only downside is it can be extremely messy, it chucks the candy everywhere! Easy to clean up and easy to assemble.

What's great about it: work's great; easy to use
Bought this for my 11 year old who likes to play in the kitchen. Of all the things I've bought for her, this is one of the few that actually works and doesn't require refill kits, so that's a plus for me. It's also easy enough for her to set up and use with little to no assistance. We're happy with the purchase.

What's great about it: easy to use, easy to clean up...no or very little mess !!
This cotton candy maker was a gift from "SANTA" for my 8 years old daughter. She put this machine in the wishlist and SANTA gave it to her!! She is now having fun making cotton candy everyday. It works great, easy to use, easy to clean up and fun to have it in the house..
She will have her 9th Birthday party soon, so this will be a blast for all the kids (and adults too...) !!!!

What's not so great: hard to find flavored sugar
Love it! Easy to use, Easy to clean, Easy to eat! Kids absolutely love making cotton candy and with 1 Tablespoon of sugar you can make a whole stick of cotton candy. Cleans very easily with hot water, soap and a towel. All around fun item to have around the house!

What's not so great: Nothing!
I bought this for my dad for Christmas and he will not stop making cotton candy! It's easy to make and extremely easy clean up after!
*READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ENTIRELY! If you don't, it will only create a very small ball of cotton candy. If you do, you will have cotton candy the size of a softball!
We bought floss sugar and used it and it tastes just like how the Carnival makes it! Hard candy does work just as well, but if you want the classic cotton candy taste, you should definitely buy flavored sugar to use.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, easy to use, easy clean-up, delicious cotton candy, makes quite a bit
What's not so great: N/A
I had bought a different cotton candy maker last Christmas, but sugar flew everywhere and it produces an extremely small amount of cotton candy and it broke after a couple of uses. I got this one this year and it works GREAT. NO flying sugar and it makes a good amount of cotton candy- especially if you use flossing sugar. Hard candy works great too but it doesn't make quite as much! I recommend this product 100%. GREAT BUY! *Make sure you let it heat up for about *5 MINUTES.*

What's great about it: Everything! Works perfect!
What's not so great: Takes up some space.
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!

What's great about it: Easy to use and easy to clean
What's not so great: the kids love it to much
This thing has gone to many parties with me! The kids LOVE this thing, and the cotton candy that comes out has even more taste than the candy when it gos in! There are some flyaways though that can make a mess, but its not bad. I just stick the parts that I can in the dishwasher and it all comes out clean. I do wish you could take all the top part off (cover to the heating element) it gets a bit sticky after some use but can be cleaned with a hot washcloth. I have given 3 to friends kids for birthday gifts, but I did ask first. Its easy to use and easy to clean!

What's great about it: I can use hard candy, i love the strong cherry flavor of Clayes Candy
What's not so great: Size and the price, but we cant have it all.
Despite what other reviews are saying candy does not fly all over the room it you read the directions and do what it says, yes the candy does not stick very well to the "cones " provided, however that's a plus to reusing them, if you want something to stick go to the local rental center and pick up the paper cones they stick but you can only use them one time, so like the other review says if your looking to serve large party's this is not for you. rent the real thing, you want to save money for the family and friends, and the ability to choose the flavors you want this is perfect for you
