4.0 out of 5 stars Cotton Candy in Two Seconds!, March 23, 2009

Originally bought the tabletop Nostalgic for less than $50. Product should not be on the market -- no cotton candy after trying for 45 minutes. Then, I saw this Nostalgic cotton candy machine cart and read the mostly positive reviews. I ordered it and am not disappointed. Yaayyy to a no-fat dessert whenever the mood strikes. This machine should not be considered "commercial" as it is definitely more of a family/home machine.
Pros:
--Cotton candy started spinning out almost immediately.
--Good amount of cotton candy on cone
--Easy to use and clean
--Came with 2 packages of pink vanilla floss and 2 pkgs of blue raspberry floss; paper cones
--All tools for assembly provided
--Though it is a cart, doesn't really take up that much space, especially if you leave off the cone holder attachment
--2 spare fuses provided
--Great price in comparison to other cotton candy machines
--Quiet machine when making cotton candy. Was pleasantly surprised!

Cons
--Terrible, awful, horrible directions for assembly. Incomplete information! The worst I have ever seen.
-- Not all bolts fit properly as some of the holes were too small (and, yes, I used the correct bolt) There were enough bolts that did fit O.K., so machine is stable, however, I wouldn't feel comfortable rolling it around here and there.
--A couple of springs were included, which I have no idea where they should go! I also had some left over bolts and screws.
--Some smoking when using it, though not enough to set off any smoke alarms.
--A fair amount of sugar doesn't get spun and ends up wasted and scattered inside the bowl.

Having had a passion for cotton candy since I think birth, I was goofing around one day and came across this machine, and bought it. It was super easy to put together, good thing cuz the instruction sheet is a rough picture (just use the hex head screws on the bottom, the round heads for the trays, put a washer on everything. Long bolts for wheels, short bolts on front legs 3 screws hold the dome on.). No tools required, they give you everything. Perfect, no parts left over... always a good thing! I plugged the thing in and turned it on empty and everything spun centered. I then poured in the sugar they give me, and turned it back on. Within 2-3 seconds here came the cotton candy and within 20 seconds my wife was gobbling hers down. The machine also came with cones and 2 flavors of sugar so your all set to play right away. Cleanup is super easy too! The bowl is coated so the sugar line falls right off and wipes right out, that's all there is to it, other than run all the sugar out of the spinner.
This machine will be allot of fun for many years! It came with an extra set of brushes for the motor, and another set of fuses too. I missed Halloween this year but next year I will start a new tradition for the kids. One down thing is making cotton candy smokes up the house a little, but it's happy sweet smoke, and although you can see it, it smells nice in here.

Until very recently if you wanted to purchase a cotton candy machine you had a choice of buying a $40 to $50 model that made very small amounts of cotton candy, or else a large commercial size machine starting at $500 (and the $500 models do not include the cart). Nostalgia has now come out with this great commercial grade machine that is priced just right and includes the cart, machine, and dome. I recently purchased one for my brother's children and they are thrilled. My brother said that it was easy to assemble, the machine looks great, and it makes large amounts of cotton candy very quickly. This is exactly what we have been looking for!
