I was going to take this to my kids’ birthday party tomorrow, expecting about 25 kids. I’m so grateful for your review saving me the time and potential embarrassment. I’m glad I have the machine and your demo, but I think it’ll better be used for small sleepover parties. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
The candy ring sticking to the big bowl can usually be put back into the spinner and melt it through again . Believe it or not that candy crust means the melted sugar was too hot to cool into string before hitting the bowl . I
My idea is make it ahead of time. Put it in the plastic bags. We have 10 grand kids that way it ready . It's saves on rushing for the smaller kids. Thanks for your review Blessings
Great video. My son wanted cotton candy for his party, too. I assigned another mom to make the candy while the party was going on. She had 15 cones ready and each kid got one. You're right, it's a slow process. 😘
Thank you for your video! We have this machine and couldn’t figure out how to make a proper cotton candy and after watching how you did it we made the best fluffy cotton candy!!
I really like mine. I’ve been watching reviews on TH-cam today while I experiment with our machine and it seems I have a different experience. I’ve skipped the flossing sugar and opted to use hard candies. Contrary to other reviews (even the users manual) I’ve found I can fit about 4-5 candies in there (lifesavers work best), and it makes a huge poof, or I can swap out cones a couple times and get about 3 good sized “servings”. I’ve tried peppermint (which is a weird flavor of cotton candy, but if you want something that melts fast into hot cocoa, it’s really good), root beer barrels, butterscotch discs, and lifesavers. I want to use it to make cotton candy for my kids birthday party, but agree the machine isn’t made for that kind of use. I’ll probably make it ahead of time and bag it. It’ll be a long process!
Thank you for this video. This step by step process was very helpful and insightful. I am looking to purchase one of these cotton candy machines and you video allowed me to see just how much cotton candy I we can make with this particular brand.
Great video. The length really gives you an idea how much patience you need. Great for small gatherings. A few friends.. Not deal for birthday parties....
Excellent review. I have the same exact thing as a gift from my mother. i tried using it on my daughter's birthday but had trouble using it, until frustration came and then anger then i almost threw it out. good thing my wife told me to try again next time. will be patient next time i use it again.
Great Information! I was also thinking about purchasing this machine for my daughter's birthday, but I don't think I will. Kids will be frustrated to wait. If you can show how easy/difficult to clean up, that will be perfect! Anyway, great information! Thanks!
I noticed that if cotton candy is exposed to air it gets hard very fast so id say a ziplock bag and some fridge space you should be all set. But this was a year ago so im sure you figured this out lol.
I never had that much luck with cotton candy sugar on mine but what works well is regular cane sugar, cinnamon candy, jolly ranchers, butterscotch, rootbeer hard candy but you would have to blend them up in a blender like a ninja blender or coffee grinder something that will break it down to a powder it will make more and go faster with those types of candy
Good look. That Con is great to know before hand. Im about to use it today. I won't even allow lines. I'm just gonna make 3 and then give out 3 at a time.
I bought the same machine but wondering do I need to clean up and soak the plate with hot water after I use it. Thank you for the tips of how to use it properly.
I used more sugar in mine and it was much faster . I didn't put sugar in until it was hot. I also made mine myself with sugar and corn syrup and water and food coloring
Two things about your dress. 1) it reminds me of the is it black and blue or white and gold dress and 2) you look damn good in it. And also thank you for the help with this machine that I’ve had for 2 years and used once. Very good tips. I’m gonna give it another go lol.
thanks for your review because the mistake you made, I made the same one even after looking at your video. LOL I thought I had pushed the black thingy all the way down and it spurned forever, I stopped it let cool a bit took it off and put back on but pressed harder. It worked the 2nd time but took 4ever for webbing to start. Again thanks, your review was so helpful
I buy the nostalgia one and I have 4 kids They were so happy when we started doing the first one, but it takes a long time, the fourth child when it was his turn, he didn't even remember that we was making the cotton candy, they finish it in 30 seconds and it took like 7 minutes to do each + My hand was already hurting, when the last one ends they started to tell me if I can do another one and I told them that I cant because my hand was too tired but if they want they can do it
if you turn it off let the sugar melt and then turn it back on it will start producing cotton candy faster and it won't cool down. good luck with it have fun!!!
I just got one for my kids, but it doesn't spin. I have tried several times already and doesn't work. The plate doesn't turn. I pressed down all the way and still doesn't work 😢
I bought one for my lady friend daughter for Christmas but she never came by to pick it up it still sitting in that room back there we always forget about it when she leave go back home
thestone46 I actually DID buy one for my kids for Christmas and it had been well worth the money. She’s mentioned she’s used it about five times, it takes a lot of trial and error. I found lifesavers are the best for it.
Yo creo que hay que dejarla calentar bien, por que igual pasa con las maquinas de donas o paqueques los primeros 2 son lentos pero despues el 3ro ya arranca... mas rapido
And for all of you out there that have one you can us your own sugar at home just get food coloring you can and more why it is running just wait tell you us some of what is there frist then add more
Thanks for the tutorial. I've had my for two years and never used it. It's time now. Much blessings💜🙏

This was incredibly helpful! We would be lost without you :)
You saved the day with your recipe video 😅 I was ready to cry and throw the machine away. Thank you

Is it faster now?

use butterscotch discs they are great and skittles!!!
These are terrible machines for a small party only good for two people it takes 30 minutes from start to finish just to make one
@@miamendoza4913 you can use chewy candies like skittles on this? 😮
Thank you for this video. This step by step process was very helpful and insightful. I am looking to purchase one of these cotton candy machines and you video allowed me to see just how much cotton candy I we can make with this particular brand.
thanks for this review!! i was worried mine was broken, but just didn’t wait long enough for the sugar to start flossing. thanks again!!
Thank you!!!!! Your video saved me today!! I had so many questions about this machine & you answered every single one 😊

Thank you for the tutorial ,mine was taking to long to make, now I see that’s how it works.
You can use hard candies as well. Any type of hard candies
Thank you so much. Our heating part was up to high and once we removed and adjusted it came out just like your example.
Thank you I needed this and I'm glad I found someone with the same machine
Great Information! I was also thinking about purchasing this machine for my daughter's birthday, but I don't think I will. Kids will be frustrated to wait. If you can show how easy/difficult to clean up, that will be perfect! Anyway, great information! Thanks!
Your dress is really pretty, just like you! Lol, but thank you for the review
I was so confused on how to use it and I found u so thank u. Ur da best🙏❤
I wonder if you can make it the night before and bag it?
I never tried it, but i don't see why not, if you keep it cool.
I noticed that if cotton candy is exposed to air it gets hard very fast so id say a ziplock bag and some fridge space you should be all set. But this was a year ago so im sure you figured this out lol.
I love the way it's short and to the point
Wow that’s big I love it
What a good Mommy you are. Thank you for your very excellent directions! Good job.

Thank you so much for teaching me and my mom thank you thank you THANK YOU SO MUCH ☺️
It works amazingly
You can reuse the sugar ring on the inside! Even crushed hard candies work...they say. I've only had mine one day. With genuine Nostalgie products.

This better video of cotton candy machine.❤
Thanks for the review. Just to think,I was going to use it at summer camp.
I buy the nostalgia one and I have 4 kids They were so happy when we started doing the first one, but it takes a long time, the fourth child when it was his turn, he didn't even remember that we was making the cotton candy, they finish it in 30 seconds and it took like 7 minutes to do each + My hand was already hurting, when the last one ends they started to tell me if I can do another one and I told them that I cant because my hand was too tired but if they want they can do it
Nice white and gold dress !
if you turn it off let the sugar melt and then turn it back on it will start producing cotton candy faster and it won't cool down. good luck with it have fun!!!
Thank u me and my brother ate cotton candy peacefully
Thanks for a great and thorough review . I have the same machine.
Me to
its a lot faster using little jolly ranchers instead of the sugar like you could get 5 done in the time it takes to
Thank you so much! I was about to send mines back!! I didn’t have mine push down far enough
Great instructional video....IT WORKED!!!!
What a pleasant (and attractive) person!..
..I ordered one from Target (aqua).. comes Friday. Thanks for the head start!
Great review thanks for the tip about pushing the black part down.❤❤
It looks like a wonderful machine.:-)😀
I just got one for my kids, but it doesn't spin. I have tried several times already and doesn't work. The plate doesn't turn. I pressed down all the way and still doesn't work 😢
Thank You for a clear and precise review.
Thank you so much for such a thorough review!!!! 💯🔥☀️🙌
Many thanks for this review! Regards.
awesome ty so much!! have you tried putting hard candy in it at all?
Thanks for your help. I ordered one for my wife. Our 27th wedding annv. Also bought a 10 variety flavor pack with it.
Can we re use the stuck portion?
Best review I've seen... thank you! :)
Thanks that was really helpful ❤
I bought one for my lady friend daughter for Christmas but she never came by to pick it up it still sitting in that room back there we always forget about it when she leave go back home
Thank you! X2
Thank you for reveiw helped me us my unit better God bless
Does plain white table sugar work?
I like your white and gold dress.
i wonder if you cant melt the hard candy around the edges to make a little small snack 🧐
*can
Ohhhh I was doing it all so wrong! Thank you for this video ☺️
Thanks for showing me the machine. I’m gunna buy one now lol
Whew! I almost bought one.... Not Now... Thanks for saving me a few bucks,,
thestone46 I actually DID buy one for my kids for Christmas and it had been well worth the money. She’s mentioned she’s used it about five times, it takes a lot of trial and error. I found lifesavers are the best for it.
Can you use normal suger
DIY World no
It wont give it as much flavor
yes, but the flavor is mute
DIY WORLD I would recommend adding flavoring like slushee syrup
I use mine all the time for one don’t shut it off because the coils in cool off to fast and it takes more time to heat up
How long does it have to heat
Thanks for a great review!
Thank you for sharing this helpful video!
I'm planning to buy one for my nephew. Can you use regular sugar for this?
Pretty sure .He can also use hard candy such as jolly ranchers etc.
Thank You
Рахмят за обзор! 👍👍👍
Waaaaayyy better than how I did!
Yo creo que hay que dejarla calentar bien, por que igual pasa con las maquinas de donas o paqueques los primeros 2 son lentos pero despues el 3ro ya arranca... mas rapido
Thanks!!!
Ty
Where m do you get them
Awesome video thank you very helpful
It makes pretty good cotton candy for the price but if I order it from the US the delivery cost, tax and import charges are off the roof
Love cotton candy and loved your review. I wonder if that sugar stuck to the side could go back in the machine to make more cotton candy?
maybe, I have not tried it yet!
I tried this today, it’s not very tasty. Lol
why is mine making a loud noise ?
Thank you it help me a lot
Make some before the party that will be good
Really Informative
And for all of you out there that have one you can us your own sugar at home just get food coloring you can and more why it is running just wait tell you us some of what is there frist then add more
why does the camera man keep playing with the focus lever for?
It's autofocus most likely
It’s making a lot of candy that you didn’t get before it melted into the plastic. I found that you gotta grab it as soon as it’s made…
I got the same one for my daughter. We used up all of the flavored sugar. Have you tried using regular sugar with it? Good job with your video :)
Mines is not spinning????? =(
Next time I will send a video of I do it it is much easy and you don’t have wait on making more you just keep going tell your done
How much
How much is in the scoop I lost my scoop
It's 1tbsp
Phew! The manual was so hard
Thanks for the vid! This video helped me decide to buy it.
Love it!
Mine is not spinning I allready cleaned up
I'm more than sure it can be a lot of sugar in there it will make it faster
Nice video. Good job.
