It performs what was expected and more, the sugar if not cleaned properly will get into the center gear! Some what easy to remove and clean out of. Overall great product would recommend for candy makers

This was a gift we got for Christmas. A lot of fun. When we first plugged it in, it wouldn't spin and started smoking. We opened it up, and some of the parts just weren't connected. So we plugged them in where they needed to go and it worked perfect. I guess they just missed some things in assembly. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars. Otherwise it would be 5. It worked really well, and was super fast. So much fun. My kids loved it!

The first one they sent DID not work out of the box. Had to send them a video to show it would not spin and they paid to ship it back and sent me one that works. Only wish you could set the temp because it just has on and off for heat eventually gets too hot and if you put in the sugar too early it just makes a mess. But glad it works. Good for the price.

Be careful not to overtighten the screws on top. One of mine is stripped after 2nd time taking it apart. Never remove screws from cold machine. Warm it up a lil. Guey sugars held my screw in and broke on removal taking thread with it.
