The machine was well received packed. Plugging and preheat goes fast. The sugar strands come thanks the good quartz heating elements quickly. One shortcoming is the lack of cover. When making a lot of cotton candy sugar threads flying around all over the kitchen. Go with suction. The cleaning is also easy. The cotton candy is good - nice caramel flavor - but could be fine. This is probably due to the relatively low number of revolutions of the sugar melting drum. The Watten are not too large, which helps save calories leg ;-). Otherwise, a racer who seek an inexpensive machine for home for children's parties, other companies and candy lovers.
