Rating of the best cotton candy machines for 2024

Cotton candy is a childhood taste associated with a visit to the park. Now you can immerse yourself in childhood at any time at home and enjoy the sweetness with your child. Attention is given to an overview of household and commercial cotton candy machines, which are the most popular at the request of consumers.

Cotton candy machines - general presentation

To understand how to choose a cotton candy installation, you need to have basic information about structures of this kind. There are two types: mini devices and oversized ones. The former are used at home, while the latter are used in industry or trade.

Dimensional equipment is divided into desktop and floor installations. In addition to the standard features that are inherent in all household appliances, the overall models have additional functions: a voltmeter, a power adjustment lever and / or cotton wool supply.

Budget models are primitive designs for a house of small size and with a minimum set of functions, most often they are made of plastic. Expensive and mid-priced - multifunctional apparatus for cotton candy.

Criteria for choosing a cotton candy machine

What to look for when choosing an installation? Regardless of the type of construction, you should focus on some indicators:

• what raw materials can be used;
• maximum power;
• type of instalation;
• the dimensions of the trap bowl;
• which company is better;
• how much is.

Most machines work with regular sugar, which can be colored with dye or flavored with flavorings. The operating instructions describe in detail how and what can be done on the device.

Note! There is a technique that, in addition to sugar, cotton candy can be produced from caramel - unusual, but true. Moreover, the finished product is not much different from standard cotton wool.

With regard to power, the higher the indicator, the greater the power consumption. In devices for the home, the maximum power, regardless of the manufacturer, is 500 W. Such models cannot consume much electricity, since they are rarely operated. With regard to production machines, the average power consumption is 950-1000 W.

Popular models for cotton candy in entertainment organizations are floor-standing, with the possibility of easy movement (presence of wheels) and bright design to attract attention. In industrial plants, desktop installations of primitive design are used.

The type of installation depends on how it works, more precisely, by means of which the sugar is melted in the apparatus. There are gas or heating elements. The cheapest is gas installation. Which one is better to buy is up to the buyer himself.

The size of the bowl affects the bulk and size of the cotton sticks. Therefore, if the diameter of the container is small, then the cotton wool will turn out to be of the corresponding size.

The popularity of models of apparatus for cotton candy relative to any particular company is not observed. However, it should be noted that they are all of foreign origin. But as for the price, it all depends on the complexity of the design, its technical capabilities and the material from which the installation is made. The budget option is made of plastic.
