I was really happy with it but started cutting off after second use, so I had to return it.

Corn comes out in first spin. very bad

Hold the bowl at a angle.Becareful the kernels are hot as the jump out at you.Although small does most if the kernels.Don't let children use this.

Making the first batch is exciting and from there it's downfall.A lot of kernels get expelled unpopped and quite hot.The one batch that the machine makes is not enough for 2 people. This means you need to make at least two batches.Which would be fine, but the machine seems to stop after the first batch. I imagine it's overheating and this is a safety measure (at least I hope so).I would send it back for a refund, but it's not work the hasle during the lockdown to send the item back.

Very disappointed just arrived today used it and it keeps cutting out, like it is getting too hot. Tried to contact the seller through amazon and link to page was unresponsive. Error on page response. I would like my money back but don’t know how to go about it. When i cannot contact the manufacturer.

There are pros and cons. And some compromises to make and things to be aware of before you buy.1. Noise - about as much as a vacuum cleaner or juicer.2. Popcorn quality - is ok, but a bit flat like when you have not used enough heat on the stove- so it seems a bit stale not crunchy.3. Spill out. This is a real problem, kernels are heated and spun resulting in an eruption of both popped and unpopped kernels in all directions, some of which will Inevitably fly out over the kitchen counter and floors.The result is also about 1/4 to 1/3 kernels are unpopped.4. Portion. Decent a bit less than a standard popcorn bag. (About half a salad bowl)Mitigation: prepare to do a bit of extra work to work around the issues.I use an upturned lid in the bowl to reduce fly out, and filter out unpopped kernels to put them back in and repop. If you are happy to do all this it’s probably still a bit less work and cleaning than doing it on the stove.Pros:1) it is fast - about the same as a microwave2) portion is decent for one/two3) it’s very clean. And oil free. Using only hot air so nothing to have to clean up afterwards. No bits stuck anywhere. And light calorie.4) nothing burns. So no nasty burnt taste or wastage or cleaning.5) it’s inexpensive.Would I buy it again? No. I think I would opt for a more expensive one which hopefully doesn’t have these issues. Especially the stale popcorn texture. Which kills the enjoyment for me.Would I recommend? Maybe, if you are ok with a bit of fuss, and lesser quality popcorn in exchange for spending less money. You can at least use organic kernels and avoid butter or additives. So it’s ok.Is it child safe? No I would say not. Gets very hot.Can you leave it unguarded? I don’t advise it. you’d still have to keep an eye or ear on it and it doesn’t shut of by itself and will overheat.

Brought for Halloween party. Unsure if it was the machine or myself or the sugar I brought. But only made very small sticks of cotton candy but for the price of the machine I suppose it did its job.

Didn't even work

Really disappointed! The amount of candy floss you get on a stick is minuscule compared to the picture (false advertising. Don’t think it come out like that!). The sugar spits out when you first turn it on - so expect to be cleaning it from walls, floors etc. It melts and then all you get on a stick is a pile of goo (kids will still eats said goo though). It’s also cheap plastic that I feel will he snapped in no time at all. Its Also a fire hazard! The sugar falls onto the element and there’s no way to clean that!

its good but I think I expected a lot more ....as it does what it says it does but ...it does take time to actual get a full stick of candy but to be fair its a tiny candy floss machine not a fair ground one so to be honest ..yes it gives you min candy sticks so yep does its job ...be carful when you start it tho as sometimes when you put the sugar in it spits it out at you but for the price and what it ,is I think is pretty good and the next best thing to the fair so yes good buy

Its ok but candy floss keeps sticking to the side sometimes and the heat element

Bought this for a birthday party. I love the style - it looked awesome on the kitchen counter (I ordered the pink version). It was fun at first and the first attempt came out okay, but after that we struggled to get much floss. It has to be turned off to cool down regularly, so it's not suitable for feeding a large group.Also, it sprays sugar everywhere! This was very annoying - cleanup took ages. If I use it again I may do it outside - so my kitchen avoids getting sugar sprayed.I coloured my own sugar instead of buying the expensive pre-coloured sugars. It was very easy - just a few drops of gel food colour added to a sandwich bag of sugar, then knead the colour into the sugar - it took a while to colour the whole bag but it was oddly satisfying.

My girls caught fire had to throw out back door to chuck water on it as was on fire but happy and no one replying to sort this outMiss Howland

set on fire!!!!!

Lots of fun but only makes a few flosses before it overheats and needs 5 minutes or so to cool down. So fine if making small quantities at a time and if there isn't a long queue of eagerly expectant kids (big or little).

expensive and not as expected or described

Only popped half the kernels, put into the popcorn maker. It spat out hot unpopped kernels that were to hot to pick up. Be careful not use this popcorn maker near children.
