I am exceptionally impressed with the ease of setup, use, and cleaning of this machine. It makes amazing cotton candy very very fast and it is super easy to clean when done. The only warning I have is that it almost instantly starts producing cotton candy after pouring the sugar in... so pour the sugar in quickly, and have the cotton candy handle/stick ready to go in the other hand. My daughter was a little slow to pour the sugar in at first and it started building cotton candy onto the sugar scoop while she was still pouring in the sugar. You literally need to instantly dump the sugar and pull the scoop back immediately. This machine exceeded our expectations and is worth what we paid for it.
