This was great for our small school fair and will be used again at lots of other events. Most popular stall and the candyfloss is quick to make and the machine very easy to use. It took a bit of fiddling to work out how to do it in the first place as at first the sugar just flew straight to the edge of the machine and crystallised, but we eventually worked out it needed to be much cooler then it worked fab. Very happy. Definitely get the accompanying lid or it flies everywhere!
