VEVOR Cotton Candy Machine Commercial, 1000W Electric Floss Maker with Cover, Stainless Steel Bowl, Sugar Scoop, Storage Drawer, Perfect for Home, Carnival, Kids Birthday, Family Party, Blue

UPDATED: Out of the box it seems to be well made with simple controls and quality materials. The instructions mention the machine needs 15 minutes to warm up; we observed something closer to 30. Ensure you have a sufficiently heavy gauge extension cord depending on length for this 1000w machine. This machine emits floss from the center like a tornado unlike other machines that emit on the sides. Don't overload the sugar hopper. It seems to cycle on for about 15 seconds, then off for 30 so making 1 floss stick takes several minutes. Hood recommended to prevent candy flying away when used outdoors. With the additional caution of duty cycle of 1 hour and 15 minute rest, production is limited to about 15 to 20 sticks per hour. Perfect for small birthday parties of 10 to 15 kids. The machine is low cost so buy 2 for non stop commercial operation. Cleanup was very easy - with the machine on but heater off, pour a tumbler or two of hot water into the top and will with spin out taking left over sugar with it. Still needed to unscrew the lid and scrape out some burnt sugar but it was easy.

I bought this for my classroom and as a follow-up activity with my 8th graders after doing research on the history of cotton candy making. They absolutely loved it! It is very large, and heavy-duty, with no issues heating up or working properly for an entire day full of students making, making, and making some more. We used pieces of hard candy instead of sugars, and were able to do some pretty cool flavors (cinnamon!!). I did NOT buy the lid as it was, at the time, another $100, and that seems a bit excessive to me. A lid, however, would be very handy as bits of the candy/floss fly through the air and all over the walls--and you--not a deal breaker, and an easy clean, but definitely a mess. I recommend this product! Everybody loved it!

This thing is so cool and the kids love it. This was our first time making one!

Love the pink color! Easy setup and really simple to use. Kids and adults loved it at the party.

So listen—I've been dreaming about owning a cotton candy machine for YEARS. Like, actual years, decades really. This was supposed to be my greatest purchase ever. My golden ticket. My fluffy sugar destiny. And, finally, I did it. I clicked "buy now". The day it arrived, I was hyped. I kept checking the time at work counting down until my shift was over, cause I was a man on a mission, I knew exactly what I was doing after work, must make haste, I opened the box like a kid on Christmas morning… and, ultimately I feel bamboozled. Hoodwinked. Straight-up played. Now, the bowl—oh, the bowl—is comically huge. Like, so big it looks like a tire rim, bear hugging the bowl as I'm handling it, but That’s the only win. Everything else? Garbage. The manual? Absolute insult. Page one says, “This manual covers multiple models of our machines.” Awesome! Inclusivity. And then—EVERY OTHER PAGE—only talks about the fancy top-tier model I didn’t even buy. And the troubleshooting section? I swear, it was written by a drunk dad at 2 a.m. All it says is: “If it’s not working, make sure it’s plugged in.” Wow. Thank you. Life changing. Because here I was thinking it ran on positive vibes and Bluetooth. So I check the cord. It is Plugged in. Flip the switch. Nothing. Flip it again. Still nothing. Turns out—get this—you actually have to plug in both ends of the cord. Like, one into the wall and the other into the actual machine. Who knew? 🤦🏻‍♂️ But now it spins. Great. Progress. I start on the lowest setting, then slowly crank it up. It stops at “100.” Don’t know what the voltage being 100 means, but apparently its not enough volts to get this thing even relatively warm, because this thing never really got up to temperature, I'm guessing. But still, I let it spin. Thirteen minutes or so later, still not feeling a very warm temp radiating from the spinning bowl. But the instructions say, at most, 5 minutes should suffice getting the spinning mechanism up to temp, so I'm thinking "13 minutes, should be good, right?!?" So I pour in my first scoop of sugar… and immediately get pelted by what felt like a thousand tiny sugar bullets. Not candy—no, no—actual projectiles. besides me getting peppered up by sugar granules, My kitchen also turned into a sweet little paintball arena, my floors were now laced with sugar. And let me tell you—sugar all over your floor is not how you prevent bugs. It’s how you throw an all-you-can-eat cockroach rave. But I’m not defeated. I try again. More sugar. More machine gun fire. By round three, I finally get something. Cotton candy! …except not really. What I got was a cotton candy burp. Like poof, one little tuft of fluff, gone in a second. Meanwhile, in the videos I watched before buying this thing, their machines are just pumping out cotton candy non-stop. Like magician scarves, endless, glorious sugar clouds. Me? I get a pink ghost fart. So I rewatch the tutorials. Maybe it’s the wrist motion. Maybe it’s elbow placement. Maybe you gotta wear open-toed sandals, like it’s a cult ritual. Nope. The only tip they offer is, “Spritz your cone with water so it sticks.” I tried again and again. Every time—burp. Cough. Fart. My cotton candy machine basically has acid reflux. Finally, I gave up. Grabbed a mop. Cleaned the war zone. And now I just stare at this thing. This machine I wanted more than anything. And the truth is? I don’t even want to use it anymore. my roommate asked where's her cotton candy cone? And I just said, "idk, I must not be doing it right, must be global warming or something." This was supposed to be my dream purchase. Instead, I basically bought a $200 sugar soft ball sized instant cotton candy poof, nowhere near the cotton candy I dreamt of, the amount that every dentist would recommend against eating if you wanted to avoid cavities. Now I'm just mopey, I dread my next attempt at using this machine, utterly disappointed, nostalgia ruined on a grand scale, on a scale of 1 to 10 for how happy and excited I was that I finally bought one, it's a -8, it's definitely had a negative affect on my optimism from here on out towards anything that is on my bucket list or what have you

Received the wrong power cord, it was either European or Chinese power adapter. Amazon support was not able to send the correct one due to polices but got a 20$ cord that's thicker gauge than the one provided worked well. Talking to support and asking about a small refund of the product to cover the cost of having to buy a new power cord was enough to cover the cost of picking up one. Same power cord for Desktop PC's or Monitors. Other than that small issue, I am happy with how it performs for the cost! Easy clean up. Pretty fast production, great cotton candy just like the county fair! I would not recommend using a travel power adapter to use with the wrong country power cord. They're not all built the same and the machine will use a ton of power and it might blow the adapter. Best to get a new cord that fits to plug directly into the outlet!

We used this for my daughter's birthday party and it was a hit! We had a $35 dollar machine previously that didn't work very well (took 3+ minutes for a small cone). This machine needs 10+minutes on Max to preheat, but once heated, it did a large cone every 30-45 seconds. Unfortunately, the website is giving an error for photos, but they were fluffy and delicious clouds of sugar.

Makes big fluffy beautiful cotton candy

So much fun to use! It’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser, for kids and adults alike. Simple to operate, solidly built, and very quiet. Adjustable temperatures allow you to experiment with different hard candies, commercial mixes, as well as your own sugar mixtures. There’s lots of YouTube videos to give you ideas. You can run the machine continually for an hour before giving it 5-10 minutes cool down, but you will want to clean out the spinner more often to avoid accumulating burnt sugar, using a spray bottle to mist water into the sugar intake, and quickly wiping down the sugary water it flings onto the side of the bowl. I’d recommend getting the bubble dome if using indoors to contain the stray fluffs of sugar that can escape. Plan ahead for storage as the stainless bowl is HUGE, it’s the same circumference as a large garbage can lid! There are smaller sized Vevor machines available too. It’s the best ice breaker at any party! No matter your age, you’ll become the most popular kid on the block!
