this is a really bad toy. first of all, when you first get it it takes several hours to charge. second, when its finally done charging, you make the cotton candy that takes long too. when the cotton candy is finally done, there's like nothing in it and it doesn't even taste like cotton candy. so, if you're looking for a great toy for making good cotton candy that's worth the money, DON'T BUY THIS! i repeat DON'T BUY THIS!

The product is hard to use because of it's design, will not operate unless lid of machine is on correctly, the rotating head is not overloaded with sugar, must waite 10-seconds after 30-seconds of running, battery consumption (4-"AA") high (will not operate unless battery power is at a high level), the elec. trans former burned out the first time used, and hard to clean up(can not get water on elec. wash with damp towel witch is impossible). If head cloggs w/sugar it will not operate, can not wash with water (not sure how to clean, no instructions).

After purchasing the Deluxe Cotton Candy Machine we are finally happy with our purchase. We have tried both the hand held machine made by the same company and the "Real Cotton Candy Maker" made by another company.
Both previous purchases went back to the store due to bad performance. My child is finally happy after the third try.
While industrial size machines cost hundreds and sometimes thousands it is nice to be able to provide my child with a cheaper, smaller version. While the instructions say to use fine table sugar, we purchased actual flavored cotton candy floss at a local resturaunt supply store store and it works fine and tastes much better than regular sugar.
The only problem I have with this machine is that you have to hold the button down during the candy making process. It can be time consuming, but hey, it works, and my son is happy. That is the important part. If you are looking to purchase a cotton candy maker, look no further. Save yourself a lot of time at the return counter and purchase the "Deluxe Cotton Candy Maker". The company has finally got it right this time.

I have avoided buying the hand held version of this machine after seeing a lot of bad reviews and I was skeptical when we purchased this one, but my step daughter really wanted one for christmas. Thankfully, it works! It doesn't make a large amount of cotton candy at a time, but it makes more than just a bite that I heard the smaller version makes. Frankly, I'm glad each serving is realitively small because it keeps her from pigging out on a lot of candy, but satifies her desire for her own machine. She is 8 years old and she is able to set the maching up herself whenever she wants some cotton candy. She is very happy with this machine.

When i got this toy for xmas i thought wow now i can make cotton candy! but after i used it once it stopped working correctly. i put it away and forgot about it until yesterday(6\10\03). i got it out and it worked, but then, big suprise(not!!!)it it did the same thing it did the last time i used it! i tried to call the toll free # but it had been disconnected. then i tried to get their website but it "was under construction".so now im stuck w this piece of garbage. i advise those of u who haven't wasted their good $ yet to just save up and buy the real thing.

What more can I say JUNK, JUNK, JUNK. Don't waste your money!! You hardly get any cotton candy, it is really messy hard to clean. They should not even be able to sell it. We could not even get rid of it in a garge sale gave it to the good will.

This is what you call a rip off when you first get i understand that you are thinking wow cotton candy that you can make yourself since you have to wait for several hours for it to charge the cotton candy should at least be good!but it isnt for the money that you are paying it should be more cottoncandy and the machine should be bigger so you can make more.also i wouldnt reccomend this but i will reccomend the icee maker item#622543 it come out perfectly you just have to know what you are doing.

Do not buy this machine. We only owned this machine for two weeks and used it only a few times when it started to smoke and stop working. My child is so disappointed and now I am stuck returning this machine and there is nothing to replace it with that will work on regular household current

This cotton candy machine is o.k. if you don't mind refilling it each time you run it for a cycle (which means having to take the lid off each time it needs refilled). Also the amount of cotton candy that is dispensed in each cycle is not worth it. You can purchase other machines on internet for just [price] more which are much better than this one. But none-the-less, it gave no technical problems other than the LED (red) light not working.

This cotton candy machine was used once and then it stopped working. We've returned it several times, the same thing keeps happening. We are NOT doing anything wrong. It is just made poorly. My advice, save your money! Buy a real cotton candy machine, you're better off! And your child won't get mad at you for getting them a shotty gift!
