Choosing The Right Cotton Candy Machine Makes All The Difference

Anyone who has ever been to a circus or carnival knows that cotton candy is one treat that can’t be beat when it comes to pure fun. If you want to be able to make this sugary treat, you are going to need to have a good Cotton Candy Machine that you can use.

The special process that is used to make cotton candy is something only a good machine to do, but it is good to know that when it comes to choosing the right Cotton Candy Machine, you do have options.

Two of the more popular machines are:

1. The Paragon Spin Magic 5 Cotton Candy Machine with Plastic Bowl, and
2. The Nostalgia Electrics CCM-600 Full Size Cotton Candy Machine.

Both of these have good points and not so good points, but it is going to depend primarily on what you want to use your Cotton Candy Machine for.

The main differences here are all about style and delivery, so if you are simply making cotton candy for fun, you might choose differently than if you want to be able to sell your end product. Let’s take a look at each Cotton Candy Machine and let you decide which best suits your needs.

Cheap and Cheerful

First off, we’ll look at the Nostalgia Electrics CCM-600 Full Size Cotton Candy Machine because it is the bigger eye catcher.

This is the cheaper of the two styles of Cotton Candy Machine and it can also be said to be the more visually stunning in a bright candy pink. It resembles the old early 1900′s models that you may have seen in vintage photos. If you want a Cotton Candy Machine that is going to have that classic carnival look, this is the way to go.

The machine does have a 90 day warranty which is a bit of a weak point if you are going to be putting it to heavy daily use.

Sturdy and Professional

You may want a Cotton Candy Machine that is more sturdy for that purpose.

However, this Cotton Candy Machine does look attractive and provide a lot of great visuals that make it a fun addition to birthday parties or other social events if you host them or have a business catering to such parties. For a reliable Cotton Candy Machine that is going to be fun to look at and easy to make a great quality candy, this is a good way to go and end up spending less.

How about something in between?

For a more professional Cotton Candy Machine, you may want to consider the Paragon Spin Magic 5 with Plastic Bowl.

This unit is a pro grade Cotton Candy Machine and it is a couple hundred dollars more expensive. It does not feature its own cart and would work better in a food stand that needs a durable Cotton Candy Machine for heavy regular use.

If you want a quality machine then this is a good choice because it features a 3 year warranty and that speaks of real quality of construction. Paragon also offers cotton candy formulas for easy creation of many colors and flavors.
