Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

What is the best way to “catch” the cotton candy while it’s being made?
This particular item can produce up to two cones per minute and does so by streaming the floss right through the top of the spinner head. You will need to catch it with the cotton candy cones as it comes out of the top of the spinner. For added convenience, the Carnival King Floss Bubble (sold separately) features a wide cutout that better directs the floss for easy serving and will also protect against germs and airborne debris.
Yes, a humid environment will cause the sugar to be gummy and stick to the heating head, which could lead to burning the sugar. For best performance from this unit, it’s best to limit exposure to high heat / humidity environments.

Purchased this for my business and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Adults and kids alike rave about the fresh, light cotton candy. Word of advice, purchase the dome or you’ll have cotton candy all in your hair. Kids like to watch and when pouring floss sugar without the dome it’ll get in their eyes.

I absolutely love this cotton candy machine! My only complaint is the Instructions were not as clear as they needed to be to put it together. The packages of screws were labeled A and B but the instruction booklet did not tell you where screws to use screws from pack A or pack B with the washers etc. It also does not label the individual items, such as the legs or bars with a tag, so that you know which piece they are talking about in the instructions. You have to figure it out based on your assumption. It did not make it clear which screw to use on what areas. Thankfully I had enough common sense to figure it out. Also, it tells you to use the shelf with no wholes on one side and the shelf with whole on the other side however, both shelf’s have wholes. Read More

This is the second unit we purchased about 2 years ago. It’s been working great so far even with use multiple times a week. The machine is easy to clean and the wheels allows for easy transporting or moving within the facility. The price point was the biggest selling point for us.

Very easy to use, so happy it came with the plastic grate and clips. Without those i don't think this product would work nearly as well.

The chart was made with cheap parts the bars literally separated from the screw and i paid a professional to put it together I took it to a local shop that deals with machines like this and no way should I be seeing those black squares where the support bars were held together with the inter screws the metal is cheap look at how it buckle in the photos the entire cart folded in after while in use the handles was wobbly I bought a carnival king from Walmart and it held up way better then this

This is not a commercial machine. We used it maybe 5 times in less than a year and the motor is done. We had to but new motor and try to salvage it. It’s probably solid for like a home party or two, but honestly you’re better off getting the cheaper ones if that’s all you’re using it for.

Great machine that makes cotton candy making a breeze for anyone. The Mobile cart is a must for ease of maneuvering and transport. The sugar scoop and stabilizer net and clips are included with purchase. Just add floss and your are ready for cotton candy making.

I own a small candy company and primarily focused on artisan nuts, chocolates, and candies, most of which appealed to the more mature audience with very little to offer the young people. To remedy that I added lollipops, but was looking for something else that might appeal to the younger crowd which is why I decided cotton candy. I purchased this one less than a week ago; I assembled it myself with very little in the way of instructions while my husband watched TV from his recliner; it was breezy easy to do! Within the hour I had made a pile of cotton candy and having a ball doing it. My dome hadn't arrived yet, so I came away with sticky hair and a layer of sugar on the nearby counter top and had to mop the floors too, but it didn't stop me from Read More
