Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

What is the best way to “catch” the cotton candy while it’s being made?
This particular item can produce up to two cones per minute and does so by streaming the floss right through the top of the spinner head. You will need to catch it with the cotton candy cones as it comes out of the top of the spinner. For added convenience, the Carnival King Floss Bubble (sold separately) features a wide cutout that better directs the floss for easy serving and will also protect against germs and airborne debris.
Yes, a humid environment will cause the sugar to be gummy and stick to the heating head, which could lead to burning the sugar. For best performance from this unit, it’s best to limit exposure to high heat / humidity environments.

Disappointed in this machine. I used it twice. The first time I made about 70 single flavor bags for my little girls school for free. (Bought to use in my concession trailer) I let the machine rest and cool down and cleaned after an hour of use. I used a second time briefly. Maybe 2 hours use on it tops. Tried to use it for my first day opening and the first two flavors spun off perfect then the machine quit heating correctly. The floss was gumming up on the head instead of melting and turning into cotton candy. Allowed the machine to heat up properly. Took forever to get a few bags together before I finally gave up! The machine has 3-4 hours run time all together now and it’s a waste of time and money! I didn’t even come close to earning my money back with this product, let alone make a profit!

Thank you for your review, Timothy! If using this unit in a concession trailer or other outdoor space that is subject to high levels of heat or humidity, the excess heat/humidity can cause the sugar to gum up and lead to the issues you are describing. It’s suggested to limit the unit’s exposure to high heat environments for best performance and output from the unit. We’d like to work with you to resolve your concerns, so one of our Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

This machine does not work well and customer service is being more trouble than it’s worth - email after email with questions. Not helpful. On the 2nd use, hard a terrible and embarrassing event when the floss was spinning out like yarn. The machine head was perfectly clean. Definitely not buying anymore Carnival Kings.

This is a wonderful machine. We own this table top one as well as the one on a cart. the one on the cart is not as easy to transport as this one so this one is great for renting out for parties and traveling with! works great consistent, and pumps out those cones at a nice speed

The Carnival CCM28 is the best machine I have used thus far. It makes cotton candy at a high speed to keep the line moving speedy, keeping your customers happy to enjoy the sweet tasty treat and event they came to be a part of. Make sure you clean your machine after every use and deep clean ever so often.

We ordered this machine after much debate. The reviews about burning sugar really steered me away from it. But upon waiting and waiting for the one we wanted to come back in stock we reached the end of the road and had to order this one. We needed it for a a small event. They thankfully reschedule last minute. this machine just burns sugar! Upon receiving the item we noticed there was already burnt sugar on the head. We removed the top and cleaned it just as the video recommends. There was already burnt sugar in two of the screw holes, making it really hard to get the top off. We cleaned it the best we could and took it for a test run.... 7 cones later a ton more burnt sugar in the screw holes. I'm really disappointed in this machine. I'm not even sure I can use it confidently for my business.

First off you spelled my company name wrong it is BKG Icee Treatz i used the maker once the day i got it i made to cotton candy cones they were great big fluffy perfect. i went to make a bunch of bags for a event by the 6 or 7th cone it smelt like it was burning the sugar and the cones were getting flatter turning the machine off. After letting run with the heater off. I saw the whole bowl was black with burnt sugar taking three hours to clean. After letting it dry i start again with in three cones it was burnt black and was burning sugar again. .The head is so burnt that the burnt sugar seeped into the screw holes. Making it hard to take off the top of the bowl. We ordered this machine to expand our business, not loose money like will be this week-end. Tell me what would you do in my shoes??

My Cotton Candy Machine by Carnival King works amazing! I love that you are able to take it apart for storage use, it is easy to clean and operate. I also enjoy the safety feature with the bowl, at first it did not turn on, but that was because I didn't have the bowl locked in place. I feel this was a great investment.

This machine was okay. I've had others and this one was not as good honestly. It burns the cotton candy easily. Even though it has the gauge to shoe you the heat there is now at to control the heat. And it just gets too hot. Get the one on the cart! It doesnt show you the heat. but it is much better than this one.

I LOVE THIS MACHINE. This is the first time I've ever used a cotton candy machine. I bought this machine with unsure expectations. My concern was the maintenance and cleaning. After using it 3x so far, I was very surprised on how little maintenance and cleaning it involved. I didn't want to buy a machine that I had to take apart in pieces to clean and this machine is not the case. All you have to do is remove the large metal piece to clean and wipe down the inner part of the machine with a paper towel. Takes maybe 15 minutes, which is convenient for me. I run the large top piece under very hot water in my sink and the cotton candy melts right off, then I wash it down. No scrubbing or hard labor needed. As for the usage of the machine, it warms up and cools Read More

The unit appears to be sturdy and well made. Setup took only a few minutes, and after a three minute warmup cycle I was twirling up perfectly decent cones of cotton candy with only a tiny bit of practice. The unit runs pleasantly quietly, and I had no problems with burning the sugar even as a first time user. The 21” bowl is plenty big for home use.(the 28” model would have been harder to store) Plain grocery store granulated sugar works just fine to spin into wool, if a bit bland. Can’t wait for the flavors to arrive!

This would be perfect for small gatherings or functions. But if using for large events it is hard to regulate the heat settings. If you are not super quick to keep the sugar floss spinning unfortunately I have found that it burns and when it burns it ruins the whole batch. I have read the owners manual 3 times and and tried several other things to see if it helps. The only solution I have found is to just shut of off let it cool down and clean it then proceed (which is quite a pain and takes about 30 minutes to get it going again). I would suggest you spend the extra money and get the one with the temperature controls.
