Very good funMakes large sized cotton candy delicious quick to use and easy to clean. Easy storage and to disassemble

I bought this ahead of my daughters' birthday parties in spring, to test it out in case it was a dud.After trying it out though, it certainly isn't!The machine is easy to assemble and set up as long as you follow the instructions. It doesn't take long to start making candy floss and although it might take a minute to get your gathering technique on point, it's quick and easy to learn. We had lovely candy floss within minutes and the girls both loved it!Cleaning up is very quick and easy as well, you can just pop the removable parts in warm water to melt the sugar off and a wet sponge will take care of any sugar stuck to the machine itself.I will say that you should not expect to have a massive cloud of candy floss on your stick; the portions are very much child-sized but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Whilst the machine does need to cool down for 15 minutes after 5 sticks' worth, it is perfect for smaller birthday parties or just a special treat.It's cheaper than hiring out a cart from an entertainment place but definitely worth the money!

Bought as a gift. Works really well. Easy to use, even by kids. Not that easy to clean but still manageable. Kids had a lot of fun making candy floss.

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely brilliant purchase! Our daughter loves it,we bought it for her birthday, it's easy to use, instructions are easy to follow, the machine itself is a nice size, not too bulky, it has suction pads on the base so its sturdiness is great! It gets super hot in the middle so definitely supervise if a child is using it, it makes a fabulous candyfloss, fun for any occasion and the machine is super easy to clean! A win all-round!

This machine is useless. It hardly spins any floss no matter how precise you follow the instructions. Brought special candy floss sugar for the machine and it's all just burnt and stuck to the edge. Final time we attempted to use it it caught on fire. Do not buy this and please, if your child already has it, don't ever let them use it unattended.

The candyfloss maker we received works, following the instructions carefully, although it takes a lot longer than 5 minutes to heat up enough for the candyfloss to be created (maybe 8 or 9 minutes).However, the bowl and base are both plastic and the way they clip together is not secure enough. As the plastic warms up I guess it expands slightly because by the time we are making the second or third portion the bowl no longer fits into the groove and it begins to rattle around the base- at one point my daughter said it fell down and sent sugar flying. Operating the device is now a 2-person job with one to make the candyfloss and another to hold the bowl in position.I contacted the supplier via their website but have received no response so far.I think we will keep the machine and possibly gaffa-tape the bowl on each time we use it, but with hindsight I wish I'd paid a little more for a better-known brand.

Works fabby for small batches. Magical watching the sugar web appear, kids love it. A pain to clean, but that was expected.

The unit does get hot as it has to melt the sugar so always have an adult around to keep younger kids safe
