The unit is super easy to set up and it worked well right on the first try. The instructions could possibly be better because if you come too close to the rod to the unit or attempt to pick up the cotton wool from the inside, then it does not work. Best you go, if you turn the bar directly over the device, once you've made a start.
What we also found is that it sometimes produces some reason no cotton candy; if it then but briefly off and on again, it works immediately. Possibly the power cycle helps to better distribute the sugar? At least that has always worked with us, when it has once hooked.
We had originally thought that this device is mainly funny, but it's really just children, make cotton candy made of sugar or candy. Let heat for a few minutes, sugar purely, a little later, the spun sugar can be added with the enclosed plastic rods. In the sweets manual advises to crush them, besides we are too lazy and yet it works fine. Try we are dealing with fruit candy and with Ricola. My tip: Do not just take sweets, but rather a piece of candy and a little sugar, because otherwise the taste depending on the variety may already be a bit strong.
In some other reviews we read that the cotton candy is a little smaller than at the county fair. In my experience, it is only slightly smaller and is mainly due to the amount of sugar, of course you can simply fill again and continue to spin sugar. However, the cotton candy are more compact than necessary when the machine starts to spin out of the sugar yarn, which is then more or less just wraps around the rod. If that happens, simply take the rod away briefly, until again forming a network.
For larger celebrations or children's parties must be included in any case that every candyfloss already needs a few minutes. Adult guests I would get the job done just himself, but who has to provide children a larger group, some should have to set aside time in an adult produces only cotton candy :)
The fear that the machine only once distributed the sugar at start-up in the room has, by the way, not true. The "wastage" all ended up in the collection container.
Cleaning is relatively simple, the plastic bowl and the protective cover can be easily removed and rinsed normal. The turntable, in filling the sugar is also plugged and can be soaked in hot water to remove sugar residues.
The only fly in the ointment is that you simply can not so insane often need cotton candy. If it is no longer sometime funny, then this machine should go the way of juicers, dehydrators, etc. and end up in the closet ...
