I bought this for my daughters 18th birthday, she wanted a chocolate fountain and stuff to dip in it instead of birthday cake. I was worried that something may go wrong and I might have difficulty with it, but it went off without a hitch. The instructions were great. The most important thing is to make sure that the fountain is level to get a good chocolate flow, it has leveling legs on it which make it easy. The motor is not quiet, but not loud enough to put people off. The party went well and everyone loved the fountain. I plan on using it again the next event that comes up, though I don't know if it will be for chocolate. The instructions say you can use syrup, caramel, barbecue sauce to dip wings, nacho cheese, and give some recipes for other things that can be used in the fountain. So I think I would love to give one of those a try. I looked at some other brands before buying this one, the super cheap ones had bad reviews and then there were the super expensive. This brand seemed to be in the middle price range and for the height 16in had a good price and good reviews. I am happy with my purchase.

We got this one as a replacement. It could be built better as the bottom part of fountain that attaches to the base is little shaky and cause the fountain to shake which prevents smooth flow of chocolate. But it is okay for the price.

The Chocolate fountain works great. I would recommend this one. Easy to clean also comes in 2 pieces unlike another brand we had that came in a million pieces and did not work well.

AWEFUL AWEFUL AWEFUL I was disappointed with the craftsmen ship of this machine. The Riseable legs are ofset thus making the fountain unlevel and the directions say the fountain MUST be level (they say this a bunch of times throughout the manual). There was also glue all over the base of the machine which had dripped from the bowl being glued to the base.

I have whipped off the glue and set wood blocks under the machine.
The chocolate does not drip correctly it glops all down one side.
The heating element doesn't even make the chocolate warm.

I also don't like that it won't melt hard chocolate. You must pre-melt, but that isn't too surprising since it doesn't even get hot! The chocolate is cool even after pre-melting!

I bought this fountain to use at a family gathering but it was a little small.
