Overview
Kitchen counters and family party tables are where this retro aqua machine belongs, turning hard candies or flossing sugar into cotton candy. A clear rim guards the work area while letting everyone watch the floss build, and reusable cones plus a sugar scoop come with it.
Being able to use ordinary hard candies, not only flossing sugar, makes it easy to experiment with flavors at home. Only a couple of reusable cones come with it, and the listing omits power ratings and care guidance.
Who it's for
Parents planning a movie night or a birthday at home get a simple countertop treat project. Event vendors and anyone serving long lines will want a commercial machine.

Performance notes
The extractor head turns sugar or hard candy into floss, and the clear rim around it catches the strands so they can be gathered onto a cone. The amount loaded with the scoop and steady winding of the cone govern how full each serving gets.
