Nostalgia Cotton Candy Machine - Retro Cotton Candy Machine for Kids with 2 Reusable Cones, 1 Sugar Scoop, and 1 Extractor Head – Pink

The media could not be loaded. This cotton candy machine is perfect for a family movie night or a small birthday party, as it doesn't make a huge amount of cotton candy at once. Its antique pink color and style are charming for a vintage look. The machine works very well; it came with all its parts, and I've used it more than five times without any issues. Note: You'll need to preheat it (leave it on) for at least 10 minutes so that by the time you add the sugar, it's hot enough to melt properly. If you skip this step, you may have trouble doing it and not get the desired result.

Such an esthetic piece. Easy to put together. An even easier clean up. I would like for the speed to be faster for cotton build up because my arms got sore by the second cotton candy I made. But for a first time cotton candy maker, I’m pleased with it.

The media could not be loaded. I absolutely *love* my cotton candy machine! It’s everything I hoped for and more—easy to use, efficient, and so much fun. The setup is quick, and it heats up in no time, making it perfect for last-minute parties or spontaneous sweet cravings. The machine produces perfectly fluffy cotton candy every time, with that melt-in-your-mouth texture and vibrant colors that kids (and adults!) can’t get enough of. I love how customizable it is—you can choose from a wide variety of flavors and even make your own unique combos. The cleanup is a breeze, with most parts being easily removable and washable. Whether it's for birthday parties, movie nights, or just a weekend treat, this cotton candy machine brings the fun and sweetness of the carnival right into my home. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to add a little extra joy and creativity to their celebrations! An absolute game-changer for cotton candy lovers!

My family loves this. It's so easy to clean and overall easy to use. It took a couple tries to get my timing right with spinning the cotton candy sticks, but now it's really fun to use. My kids love picking different flavors to try. It takes 10 minutes to warm up to use, but then it's quick after that. I love the old fashioned cart base also. I took one star away because every time we use it there's a lot of sugar left in the machine and I haven't been able to figure out how to prevent that. But definitely get this. It makes movie nights so special and the price is perfect.

Absolutely adorable. We only used sugar floss so this is the only experience we have, but they made nice size, YUMMY clouds of cotton candy. Can’t wait to use for family events!

So at first this seemed like a fun lil gadget. Followed every step and right out of the box made a few “batches”. A couple days later got it back out and used it the exact same way I did the first time and it caught LITERAL fire. Flames coming out from the underneath of the center centrifuge space where the sugar goes. I was using cotton candy floss sugar so nothing strange. I unplugged it immediately tried to blow out the the flames which was difficult since the center of the device only has a small opening where you’d want to get in to extinguish the fire. I picked it up whisked it across the kitchen and straight outside to the porch wall. I was legit shaken. Don’t buy it it’s absolutely not worth catching your house on fire for or someone getting hurt. There was no time to grab the phone and get a video but I wanted to leave this extremely important info to help anyone else from finding themselves in danger. The issue with the machine is that as it spins the sugar some of it clings to the centrifuge outside edge then drips down into the center through the small opening and into the heating element which in turn lights the sugar on fire. You can’t get into that area to clean it either without completely taking the unit apart which it tells you in the book not to do so major design flaw for sure. Buyer beware of you read this and still decide to purchase it.

I was a little unsure about this because of the bad reviews. But trust me, buy this! It takes a little while to heat up but it makes the cotton candy really fast! I recommend this to everyone. I've used this about 5 times and it worked great every time! The cleaning process is SUPER easy, all you do is run it under hot water, the sugar melts right off. I was really worried that it might catch on fire because some people said that it did, but so far mine hasn't. I used it for over an hour one time and it started to smell like burnt sugar so i stopped. But it can run for a long time! Great product!!!!

Update: I called customer service and they were very kind. They immediately agreed to send another and notified me that it would be under warranty for the next year. Before the sugar started melting into the heating element, it worked great, was easy to use, and easy to clean. Hopefully the new one works better!I am so angry! My daughter got this as her one big birthday gift. It worked great for her party. I meticulously cleaned it and put it back in the box for storage. Took it out today and every time I tried to make cotton candy, the sugar melted and dripped onto the heating element. I stopped it immediately, let it cool, did a thorough cleaning and fished all the cooled sugar drips out of the base and tried again after everything was clean and dry. I repeated this process four more times. It kept happening and was worse each time. The fourth time the machine made a weird noise and stopped. OF COURSE the return window closed about a week ago so we’re just stuck with this pice of junk and my daughter is devastated. DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK! I would give zero stars if I could!
