Nostalgia Vintage Cotton Candy Machine - Countertop Cotton Candy Maker With 2 Reusable Cones & 1 Sugar Scoop - Use Hard Candy or Sugar to Create Fluffy, Delicious Treats in Minutes-Pink

I absolutely *love* my cotton candy machine! It’s everything I hoped for and more—easy to use, efficient, and so much fun. The setup is quick, and it heats up in no time, making it perfect for last-minute parties or spontaneous sweet cravings. The machine produces perfectly fluffy cotton candy every time, with that melt-in-your-mouth texture and vibrant colors that kids (and adults!) can’t get enough of. I love how customizable it is—you can choose from a wide variety of flavors and even make your own unique combos. The cleanup is a breeze, with most parts being easily removable and washable. Whether it's for birthday parties, movie nights, or just a weekend treat, this cotton candy machine brings the fun and sweetness of the carnival right into my home. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to add a little extra joy and creativity to their celebrations! An absolute game-changer for cotton candy lovers!

We tried three different brands this weekend. And this one is the only one that actually worked. Once comparing it to the others, here are main differences and why this one seems to be the best bet for a successful cotton candy home made experience: 1. Manual/Instructions are complete and well put together (one machine we got elsewhere came with a 2 page explanation, missing relevant details) 2. Heating element seems mostly covered by the spinning disc (The other two machines have noticeable gaps that allows for the sugar to fall and get in contact with the heating element, which can cause a fire) 3. It has a cover that helps the "cotton" to stay inside rather than flying all over the place 4. It comes with cones, that are actually reusable. Using cones to make the cotton candy ball is relevant. Other cotton candy machines come with sticks that are not good to get the cotton attach to them. 5. It comes with a spoon that holds 1 TBSP of sugar. Other machines come with a weird, super small spoon and the "ball" of cotton candy you can make ends up being ridiculous small. 6. Super easy to assemble, disassemble and clean. 7. If this is a gift, you want it to work and this one does. Simple!

Best machine I’ve used so far for cotton candy and my girls and I loved it! It’s so easy to use and clean up is very easy! Taste of the cotton candy came out perfect and hands down Nostalgia made an awesome product with awesome color and details! FYI: THE WHEELS DO NOT MOVE

I had a cotton candy machine when I was a kid, and my sibs and I loved it. My mother? She didn't. So nostalgia, and a FB review of a cotton candy machine, prompted me to buy one for when my granddaughter comes to visit. Of course I had to test it out. The machine itself is adorable, and I love that you don't strictly have to have floss sugar for it to work. (I'm planning to try Jolly Ranchers, but haven't yet.) It was super easy to set up, and it works like a charm. Once I got the hang of exactly how far above the rim to place the cone, and the speed needed to roll the floss onto it, I was able to make rounded puff balls of cotton candy. There was very little "floating" pieces that escaped to mess up my kitchen, and it takes very little sugar to make a nice sized ball. The cotton candy tasted as good, if not better, than that from a carnival. The machine was very easy to clean, which my antique version was not. The two cones and the tsp measuring spoon, that came with the machine, are sturdy and also easily cleaned. I'm sure the little fellas in my family, and some not so little, will enjoy using this cute cotton candy machine. Update Edit: I tried using Jolly Ranchers, and Werther's hard candy caramels. Neither worked as well as regular floss sugar. Both candies created a "floss," but the Jolly Ranchers got too hard, the Werther's tasted like burnt sugar, and neither were near as fluffy as regular floss sugar. This isn't a deal breaker, but not quite as advertised.

if your looking for a entry level under 500$ candy floss maker this works well. but remember kids this is not a toy and sugar is highly flammable. I sense the negative reviews are from operator error. Works as advertised.

So at first this seemed like a fun lil gadget. Followed every step and right out of the box made a few “batches”. A couple days later got it back out and used it the exact same way I did the first time and it caught LITERAL fire. Flames coming out from the underneath of the center centrifuge space where the sugar goes. I was using cotton candy floss sugar so nothing strange. I unplugged it immediately tried to blow out the the flames which was difficult since the center of the device only has a small opening where you’d want to get in to extinguish the fire. I picked it up whisked it across the kitchen and straight outside to the porch wall. I was legit shaken. Don’t buy it it’s absolutely not worth catching your house on fire for or someone getting hurt. There was no time to grab the phone and get a video but I wanted to leave this extremely important info to help anyone else from finding themselves in danger. The issue with the machine is that as it spins the sugar some of it clings to the centrifuge outside edge then drips down into the center through the small opening and into the heating element which in turn lights the sugar on fire. You can’t get into that area to clean it either without completely taking the unit apart which it tells you in the book not to do so major design flaw for sure. Buyer beware of you read this and still decide to purchase it.

Fairly easy to operate. One scoop makes one cone. Purchased "frequently bought together" sugar (all three were flavorful!) and paper cones(nice! held up well!). Easy clean up. Wouldn't suggest for high volume, but great family fun!!

It is perfect for my needs. I bought it for my mother who loves cotton candy. I like the fact that it can use hard candy or sugar. The plastic top can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher.

The quality is far less than expected as shown in product description!

Es fácil de usar y siguiendo esas mismas instrucciones durará mucho tiempo

Easy to use, my 13 y/o granddaughter uses it. The cotton candy is nice and fluffy and melts in your mouth. I have never made Cotton candy before, and from the first time I used this machine they turned out nice. I would recommend.

Works really well, and makes a decent amount of cotton candy! Perfecting the making takes some trial and error, but it's really neat, makes good cotton candy, and is a big hit at parties/bbq's. Great for indoor use too for winter get togethers, hockey team parties, etc.

It's a good and fun machine for kids to make cotton candies but it's a bit of work to clean it.
