Question: Did you ever get it to really work? I've tried candies and floss but ave had no luck! Is there a trick to it?
Document: If you like cotton candy and are patient, this machine works well. After warming up, in a few minutes you have a nice batch of cotton candy that's pretty easy to make. My kids love it and I can almost keep up with them. I've found that some floss sugars work better than others (cotton candy express seems better than the others we've tried) and though it says it works with hard candy, I've not had a lot of luck with them (too soft and it gets gummy).
Tried to use floss sugar, tried different hard candies, did not work well at all tried to you tube it. Went to a birthday party they had a light pink one and it worked great. Sold at a yard sale for 5$. Good luck if you buy it.
I had ordered the sugar and paper cones, popped open a bottle of the sugar, poured in the recommended about and...nothing. It didn't even floss a little. Fortunately, I still had Jolly Ranchers left over and was able to make some cotton candy, but now I've got several flavors of sugars and can't do a thing with them. If you're going to buy this product, stick to the hard candies and save your money on the sugar.
There are more flavor options with hard candy, but just remember, it's going to taste just like the candy. If you use a strong flavor candy (I tried an organic watermelon lollipop) and yuck! I tried with lemon drops & it was good! I've found, the less ingredients in the candy, the better it works. I've read that lifesavers work well, but I haven't tried it.
I might try mixing the green apple with plain sugar to dilute the flavor a bit. We also used broken up candy canes which was really cool. Cotton candy that taste like a candy cane. Yum! The floss tends to clump more when using the hard candy though which I think may have to do with the ingredients in the candy (corn syrup, etc. )but it was still ok. I've only used it twice and there are already burnt sugar stains in the spinner.
I've purchased this to make cotton candy stuffed goodie bags for my sons birthday party. After reading other reviews I knew it wasn't wise to make a batch of 20 the day of the party, so I started a week earlier. It takes a while to make a &#34;hefty&#34; cone of cotton candy--'bout 10-minutes. It seems to work better with cotton candy floss as opposed to hard candy.
This item barely worked the first time and it's been downhill ever since. Now I have tons of sugar and cones and nothing to use them with. I tried everything and have tried multiple times. At best, you get one small serving in half an hour. I'm throwing it out!
Maybe its me, I don't know, but I cannot get this thing to work! I follow the directions exactly, and the cotton candy only flosses a little. Most of the sugar gardens before it has a chance to come out. Sooo, unless you have time to play with it and find the trick to making it work, I wouldn't buy it. Or, maybe I got a dud...
I like cotton candy and become impatient with the speed and volume this machine makes per serving. However, this machine will produce carnival quality cotton candy in small quantities. I always used floss sugar and have not tried hard candies yet.
We tried to use this yesterday for a birthday party. I think we ended up with two cotton candies after trying for about an hour. It just would not spin the sugar as I expected it to. We used the floss sugar and not the hard candies. I think I'll try it with the candies before deciding whether or not to return it. All in all, it ended up being a disappointment for everyone at the party waiting for a cotton candy.
Answer: Yes, I've never had any issues with it. Are you making sure to let it warm up? It does need to be turned on for about 5 minutes prior to putting the candy into into it, then it only takes a few moments before it starts spinning candy. Don't get me wrong, you don't get a lot. It's not like cotton candy at the fair, but you can always put two candies in and then after they spin out, put two more in and make a larger one.
