Nostalgia PCM805RETRORED Retro Hard & Sugar Free Cotton Candy Maker, Red

There is a serious problem with the product that arrived! While it wasn't billed as a used product, it has certainly been used to get results. There is a dent on the extraction head, the stem has been bent, and the old, burnt candy is in the stem. While some of it came out after boiling the head, you can still see traces of candy inside.

- The aqua blue housing was covered in a thick layer of I'd say the plastic top protectors have been used as they clearly are. I have noticed that the sugar scoop would have come with the unit has been omitted.

Almost none of these advantages were known to me before I purchased it, and I would have never bought it if I knew how tough it was to remove the "specialty extractor head" for cleaning. Here are some of the I love it because it's super simple to use. You just put it together, let it heat for about 10 minutes, then turn it off to pour in the candy floss sugar (which is not included), and you're ready to go. Sugar is easy to clean because it's with us all the time. It only takes a few drops of hot water to clean it. The cons are as follows There is only a tiny bit of cotton candy that can be produced at a time. You need to shut it down, clean it, and start over to make another batch (total time more than It takes a lot of time In order to get more than one mouthful of cotton candy, you first have to wait for the machine to heat up, then you have to wait for the cotton candy to spit out, and then you have to do it all over again (after cleaning). There are a few cons During the process the "specialty extractor head" gets clogged with sugar (perfectly normal) and needs to be cleaned. I have never disassembled anything in my entire life in such a way and had to fight so hard or take so long to do it. If you wanted an easy way to clean, you would think it meant easy to disassemble. I was pleased with how easy it was Two plastic bowls where cotton candy is spun are easy to remove, but the head of the extractor is a real and serious pain to take off. In addition, you must separate it from the machine to clean it, otherwise you risk getting the whole machine wet (heat coils, motor). Taking twenty minutes and spinning, pulling, yanking, pulling, yanking, pulling and yanking was what it took for me to finally get it off the first time. I took longer the second time. Knowing this information would have prevented me from purchasing this machine, so I'm telling you about it now. It's always a good idea to save money. There is no need to spend twenty to thirty minutes disassembling sticky parts that are supposed to be easy to disassemble unless you want to spend the time tugging and pulling on a sticky part that doesn't come apart easily. It doesn't do the same for me. Even with how it works and all the other cons, I might put up with it because it's fun to make cotton candy at home (although I could buy it at the store more quickly), but I really dislike the difficulty getting the extractor head off. I find that to be a deal breaker.

Due to the large size of the plastic on top, it takes up a large amount of space. It is imperative that you let the unit heat up for at least 10 minutes before adding the candy sugar. Other hard candy pieces have not yet been used but it says that you can use another The directions specifically say that you have to crush the candy before putting it in the machine. Unlike the pictures on the box, you cannot simply drop whole pieces of candy into the machine.

The results of the experiment if you follow the instructions exactly, but only add one scoop of floss sugar, are mediocre at best. It probably takes me two to three minutes to fill in the area The floss should be scooped up three times. Furthermore, I make sure to rotate my funnel around the machine while holding it right above the machine. In this way, the cotton candy sticks more firmly. In the picture you can see exactly how it looks. It is not a good idea to have the funnel inside the plastic dome scraping the sides and not holding it upright either. There is quite a bit of noise coming from the machine, and it moves around and vibrates as it goes. The box had to be placed on a towel in order to prevent it from moving around. I am sure it will be fun for my daughter's carnival birthday party though, since it makes good cotton candy, the kids are happy, and it makes good cotton candy. What would I spend on a machine like this for $50. . That's probably true!.

We plan to use it for us regularly as well as for parties and such. It's easy to use and easy to clean, and the sugar you must purchase separately isn't too expensive. We plan to use it for both normal use and for parties Only a few minutes are needed to put it together, ten minutes are needed to heat it up, and a few minutes to clean it after it cools down. The cotton candy maker is not heavy and is easy to transport. If you're looking for a cotton candy maker, I highly recommend this one.

I must go through the process at least twice to get a decent sized bunch, which is a little One of the biggest problems I've experienced is that a string may fall off or may not stick well, causing the string to harden too (It seems wide enough, but it's not. )

I found it to be easy to clean, but I also noted that a sticky goo leaks out when tilted. It is possible that a user has failed. Taking apart and cleaning it is fairly straightforward.
