Just watched a well cut and produced video about cotton candy machines and this video is far more informative despite the lack of RUclips bells and whistles. Well done and thank you
Awesome, thank you!
You are the cotton candy queen!!! First vid watching very informative thinking of getting my first machine
Yay! Thank you!
What do you have it plugged in?
I just ordered the Carnival King. I own some of their other concession appliances so I went that route. I will use it only for family so it was perfect size and price. I ordered the bubble for it as well.
Fun! Love the Carnival King, and the bubble is a must in my book!
Ive learned a lot from your uploads and you basically sold me on the Vivo because of the noise factor and the ability to change flavors on the fly. I would like to do 4th of July with Red, white and blue colors/flavors and 3 having multiple machines for backup and to use simultaneous would be advantageous. I'm gonna need a break after an hour anyway. Your sugar flavors have me VERY interested in your floss so you will likely hear from me again! Thanks!
Thank you for the videos!
Glad you like them!
Wich one do you think is better powder or extract Wich brand
Love your videos!! Very informative and lovely to watch! Wondering where you store all of your machines, and how many do you have?
Machines are stored in a warehouse. I have 5 Vivos, 3 Whirlwinds, and 1 lilttle Nostalgia :)
Hi mam do you have any fully automatic candy machine
I loved your talke
Thanks, also I was wondering if when you go to events are you always plugged into an outlet or have you ever tried a generator or battery pack?
We always request a 120V dedicated circuit when spinning live, but we do bring out a Honda EU2000i generator with propane conversion when that is not possible. We haven't tried a battery pack yet!
@@spunparadise8823 ok, would you know how big a battery back would have to be for a carnival king to be running for 2 or 3 hours?
Not sure, but if this is something you end up doing let us know how it works!
@@spunparadise8823 ok thanks.
Just got the Carnival King 21" for our Band Boosters for our High School...spent yesterday trying to make some, and made about 20 cones. The done is a necessity...now just learn how to bag it as cotton candy sticks to the gloves.
Fun! Are you in a super humid area? Disposable vinyl gloves shouldn't stick too much.
@@spunparadise8823 we’re in Pa so it CAN be humid. We’re trying to prepackage a few bags prior to a game but need to find a way to store them without them melting away. We settled on the Venom nitrile gloves from Lowe’s…
Love your content :) Have you ever used or have any opinion on the Olde Midway Commercial Quality Cotton Candy Machine and Electric Candy Floss Maker - SPIN 2000? Thanks in advance!
I haven't used either, sorry!
We got the nostalgia at home ... use one time so far ... totally hard to wash and burn only half of the sugar... it works but it's not great at all
Hi can you use the whirlwind machine for one cone at a time and then use it for a different flavor and just keep on using it one cone at a time for kids wanting different flavors? I’m talking about the big cotton candy machine.
No, it makes about 16-20 cones per flavor.
Very nice
Thanks!
Hi am in Kelowna BC Canada where coud can Ibuy the stabilizer mesh TY great video for auto Breeze 26"
Use a light water mist on the inside and the sugar that stick will act like the mesh.
I have a paragon and for some reason, the net isn't catching the cotton candy and the floss balls up and flies everywhere.
I am not too familiar with Paragon machines, but it if there are little leather straps that stick out the sides of the top of the head like a Gold Medal, you need to bend the leather straps up. The leather straps direct where the cotton candy will go.
I have a question, so if I get the vivo and have a private catering for 3 hours, I would need to change the machine every hour? Not very convenient to carry two machines
I highly recommend always having a back up machine for events. You don't necessarily need to switch out, as long as you are able to just let the machine rest for about 15 minutes, you can still use the same machine.
@@spunparadise8823 thank you for your response!
I want to buy a big one so mam where can I buy this cotton candy machine
Hi, new to cotton Candy. Our first event will be a large festival for 5 days. I want to offer 3 -5 flavors. So I’m thinking of the vivo machines and getting three of them so I can have one as a back up when I need to clean them rotate,. What are your thoughts?
Yes, I think three on site is a good idea. Depending on the use each day, you will need to probably do a deep clean on the machines as well. That is a long festival for Vivo machines. When you rotate and clean, be sure you take the top plate off and clean it and replace, not just spinning water through it while running. Hope that makes sense!
Do you atill sell yoir floss wholesale?
Hi, would the first machine be okay to start off with if you are looking to only make cotton candy bombs?
The Vivo would work, the Nostalgia would be too small unless you are just making some bombs for personal use, that would work.
FOR start of the business i can use the small one
No, the Nostalgia (smallest red machine) would not be suitable for a business. You could start with the medium machine (pink machine) though. Thanks!
Do you recommend buying the vivo from the VIVO website or places like Amazon?
I would go Amazon for the easy return alone.
I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past three days! I appreciate all the info & experience you share. :))
Any words of wisdom as to whether to purchase the Vivo with the cart or without? Also, with the dome/shield or without? The end goal is starting a business making cotton candy & cotton candy art at parties, and potentially renting out my machine(s) as well. Shipping it would be fantastic too, but I don’t want to be overly ambitious here… ;D
A lot of places are sold out of the Vivo. I also recommend the Funtime or Carnival King as comparable machines. I definitely recommend the dome/shield!
Thank you for being so helpful
You are so welcome!
Which one would be suitable for a birthday party of 50 guest?
The mid grade, pink machine. Thanks!
Hi! I have a cotton candy cart business (Cotton Sugar Co.) that I started last year and it’s been a huge success (thanks for all of the info you’ve shared to help me get started)! I’ve been using a vivo or equivalent (I have 3 that I switch between) and I’m having a hard time keeping up with my larger events. It’s very important to me to be able to switch flavors between each spin bc I offer multiple flavors at my events and spin to order. But the vivo isn’t producing fast enough, I have to switch out every hour or two and wait for it to heat, and it gets clogged despite cleaning after each event - kids in line last night at a homecoming dance waited over an hour. Do you have any reccs for a faster producing, higher quality machine that I can switch flavors between each puff? I feel like it goes from vivo straight to the giant mass-producing machines and I haven’t been able to find an in between. Thank you!!
Hi! I feel your pain! I don't know of anything larger that can switch out flavor unfortunately.
@@spunparadise8823 Gold Medal
how much do you rent it out for ?
What’s the best temperature to keep you machine at when using ? And keep on entire time for a party even when not in use ?
Which machine are you using?
Alright you sold me on the vivo lol its just for personal use but I have a really big family and my tabletop cotton candy maker can't keep up when I break it out, and runs a bit too hot
Hope you're having fun with the new machine!
price,Name and model of third machine please??
Would the Vivo work for about 150-250 cones over an 8 hour period? Also how do you change between flavors?
The Vivo only spins one cone at a time, so every cone can be different if you scoop a different flavor each time. The Vivo wouldn't be ideal for eight hours, the only way to use a Vivo for the suggested use, would be to have two machines, every hour or so, you would need to switch the machine out and allow the hot machine to cool and clean it so that it is ready for heavy use again.
What are the typical sizes of cotton candy sold? Are there average serving sizes?
1oz weight of cotton candy is typical
@@spunparadise8823 thank you. Can you give me an idea of where to find the poly bags for the 1oz size? I can't seem to find them for beginner/low volume
What is the model of the vivo ?
V001
where to order the last two? so many websites but who to trust?
restaurantsupply.com or katom.com are good ones
I just bought one last week from Amazon! I'm so excited to open it
@@prettiilexii672 I know I'm late but what kind did you get? Also how is it holding up? Easy to use? Thanks!
@@lovelyrich54 Hi, I bought the Vivo. It's big, easy to use and you can serve alot of people in a short time.
@@prettiilexii672 Oh well that's good news? Do you have the bubble cover?
😍❤👍
If I’m understanding correctly, it only takes 1 Tablespoon of candy floss sugar for all machines. If that is so, why does my tiny home machine makes smaller cones than a larger machine despite using the same amount of sugar? Just curious. Thanks! Love your videos!
No, every machine takes a different amount of sugar. Most machines (other than Gold Medal commercial grade machines) come with a scooper for your sugar which measures the correct amount of sugar for that machine. Hope that makes sense, thanks!
@@spunparadise8823 Oh! I see. Thank you!
I am an Amazon seller. Your video is well done. We have a cotton candy machine. I wonder if you can cooperate with us to help us evaluate it.
I would love to! Please email me info@spunparadise.com

May I know the cost of the 2 ND machine in Indian rupees
You would be looking at around 12,700. See the link here for an example of a nearly identical machine; www.amazon.in/Akreeti-Tabletop-Commercial-Electric-Machine/dp/B08D37L7QV/
