My kids love it. Who can argue with that?

This is a fun toy. Yes, a toy. You can make cotton candy with it but it's not very much at one time. You put hard candies/candy in the center piece and it spins around and melts until it spins the cotton candy. My kids love to sit there with a flashlight in one hand and the cotton candy wand and watch for the strings to appear. My kids are 8 and 11 and do a decent job spinning the wand (or whatever you wanna call it) so the candy gets on to the stick, but they struggled early on to not bonk it into the side making the candy hard and not cotton-y at all. But they play with it a lot and really enjoy wowing their friends when they come over. It was a great event for about 5 kids to all participate in and watch and eat and play. They always have fun trying new flavors and playing with this toy.
What's great about it: It's fun.
What's not so great: Mom and dad have to clean it.
