Rating of the best cotton candy machines for 2022

Cotton candy is a taste of childhood that is 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 presented with an overview of household and commercial type cotton candy machines, which are the most popular at the request of consumers.

Cotton candy machines - general idea

To understand how to choose a cotton candy plant, you need to have basic information about structures of this kind. There are two types: mini-devices and overall. The first are used at home, the second - in the industrial sector or trade.

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

Budget models are primitive designs for a small house and with a minimum set of functions, most often they are made of plastic. Expensive and medium price category - multifunctional machines 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;
• catcher bowl dimensions;
• which firm is better;
• what is the price.

Most machines work with regular sugar, which can be colored with color or flavored with flavors.The instruction manual describes in detail how and what can be done on the device.

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

As for power, the higher the indicator, the greater the consumption of electricity. In devices for the home, the maximum power, regardless of the manufacturer, is 500 watts. Such models can not spend a lot of electricity, as they are operated infrequently. As for production machines, the average power consumption is 950-1000 watts.

Popular models for cotton candy at entertainment organizations are floor-standing, with the ability to move easily (the presence of wheels) and a bright design to attract attention. In industrial enterprises, desktop installations of a primitive design are used.

The type of installation depends on how it works, or rather, by means of which sugar is melted in the apparatus. There are gas or with heating elements. The cheapest is gas installation. Which is better to buy - the buyer decides.

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

The popularity of models of cotton candy machines with respect to any particular company is not observed. However, it is worth noting that they are all of foreign origin. But with regards to the price, it all depends on the complexity of the design, its technical capabilities and the material from which the installation is made. Budget option - made of plastic.
