This machine is very clean in operation compared to big commercial units, which can blow cotton candy floss all over.The only real down-side is that it takes quite a while to make a smallish ball of cotton candy.It comes with a little scoop, which yields a ball of floss about the size of a softball, in about 4 minutes time.Adults and older children will likely want more, and you can make a decent-sized ball by re-filling the machine and adding a second batch to the same cone.Doing this requires about 8 minutes per serving, so if you plan on serving a large group of kids at a birthday party, this isn't the machine for you.Rent a commercial one from a local party supply instead.They can churn out multiple full-sized portions per minute.
The rotating floss head gets quite hot, so this isn't really a toy, and if it is to be used by young ones, they need adult supervision.Once cooled down, though, clean-up is super-easy with just warm water and a soft sponge.
Overall, this unit is a great value, and does what it is supposed to at this price point.I received this as a birthday present and works well. I already have the Kitchenaid ice cream maker attachment. This Hello Kitty ice cream maker works just fine, not as good as the Kitchenaid ice cream maker attachment but gets the job done. I followed a recipe from Ben and Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream and Dessert Book and it turned out perfect. What do you expect with a novelty/nostalgic ~$40 ice cream maker??? I usually don't use any of the recipes that come with kitchen appliances because they rarely turn out great anyway. Like most ice cream makers, definitely freeze the maker bowl at least 24 hours before making a batch, makes a huge difference in turn out.

I recently bought this ice cream maker at target for 39.99 and made my first batch of frozen yogurt. It was a really nice batch. The frozen yogurt was thick and creamy, and was frozen in 25 minutes instead of the 40 minutes the guide said it would take. You can tell it's frozen when the scraper can no longer turn. The clean up was a breeze. The motor detaches from the lid so you can wash the lid and wipe of the motor. The only problem with this ice cream maker is the problem that afflicts all machines in this price range, that you need to keep the bowl in the freezer which takes up a good deal of space.
Over all I recommend the produce.Dont buy this mixer!!! its so cute with the hello kitty but; I used it two times and the mixer burned out. My husband knew I only got it cause I'm a hello kitty fan He told me its a cheap machine with hello kitty on it. He was right the machine broke and I wasted $20 something dollars on this thing! Don't but it!!!
