    Amazing review, thank you! We just got my daughter a vivo and tried it out today. We have a question about cleaning. The part under the head, the bottom part of where the candy is put in..do you clean that and if so how? Maybe we did it wrong, but it had a lot of burnt sugar on it, but didn't look easy to remove. I'll check the instructions more thoroughly, but thought I'd ask.
    We watched quite a few of your videos, including the hard candy one and the sour cotton candy one. We tried both and my daughter who loves sour was so happy and it all worked great. Thanks again and subscribing :) Our experience wouldn't have been so smooth without your videos. Will be watching more, my daughter has always wanted to own a candy shop, so this is a first step in her journey. ❤

    • @spunparadise8823
      @spunparadise8823  3 роки тому +2

      Awesome! That's so exciting! And glad all the experiments worked out! Sounds like the machine was cleaned properly, the bottom part you are referring will always have a darker color to it now, it will not be nice and silver again. There shouldn't be any actual chunks though, almost just like a thin layer or residue on it, that's it.

    • @brettc1334
      @brettc1334 2 роки тому +1

      You actually can clean that by removing the screws. The screws may have sugar causing them to stick, so you would heat it up and then remove the screws holding the head with a hot pad. You could then soak the top half in water and clean the bottom half.

    Hello! I'm just getting started, and I love watching your videos!! I am planning on purchasing a Vivo or Carnival King (so far, I think), and I have a couple questions.
    First, when you change flavors, does the first cone flavor come through to the second cone flavor when you switch?
    Second, if you want a bigger cone, can you just add another scoop of sugar and keep swirling?
    Thanks so much for your response (hopefully), and thanks so much for the videos!

    • @spunparadise8823
      @spunparadise8823  3 роки тому +6

    Hey great video ;) have a question though. I have the new model that you can adjust the voltage. I know in past videos and on the larger unit you say lower temp is better. So I set it to around 70-80 volts but I get alot of sugar that is slang to the wall of the tub? Do I have it set too low or is this normal for this style of unit to have alot of sugar on the wall?

    • @spunparadise8823
      @spunparadise8823  2 роки тому

      I would play around with heat and see if you can minimize the sugar waste, but yes, it is pretty common to get a pretty decent size sugar ring in the bowl.

      Yes, wear food handling gloves and "catch" it as it releases from the machine. I usually spin it around on my glove like my hand is a cone and then package it. This machine will take a lot longer to package cotton candy than a machine larger then this.

    Thank you for your video. I do have a question though. The instruction manual that came with mine said to never take apart the head to clean it. Is your method of cleaning the head by removing it approved by the company or does it void any warranty since you are removing a part. I think I will still try that way though since just trying to clean it with a sponge/cloth is not that affective

    • @spunparadise8823

      Yes, I do clean it. You might be able to get away with just putting water in it while it's hot and spinning before you turn it off, or you may have to actually remove the head of the machine and clean it. Depends on the age of your machine and how worn the head of the machine is.

    I have a Vevor brand. It has a manual knob to set voltage. Sometimes floss comes out perfect, sometimes like crap! 😂 Sometimes nothing! What voltage is your machine set at when you turn heat on? Thxs. Thinking about just getting a Vivo. Just turn heat on and it’s perfect temp?

    Hi there, we currently have a commercial fairy floss (cotton candy) machine quite a bit larger that pushes the sugar out from the sides. We prefer the “neatness” of how the Vivo spins the floss vertically, however weren’t sure of the quality of this machine since it’s a quarter of the price of our other. We have a corporate event for 1000 guests coming up and we’re wondering how this machine would handle that volume? (It’s going to be running approx 7 hours). Thanks in advance for your help

      Hi there, I have used Vivos for corporate events that large, however, we used 5 of them, switched them during the event. We were also spinning mini puffs, not full size cones. They are not nearly as heavy and reliable as a commercial Gold Medal or similar. I would recommend having your commercial machine on site as back up at the very least. Hope that helps.

    • @spunparadise8823

    So I was told that you can use pam in the middle to keep the sugar from sticking and burning and that you should clean the inner middle with degreaser and steel wool after an event. You said you don't clean yours that often.. does cleaning how I described above affect the machine's performance?

    • @spunparadise8823

      I have never used Pam but sounds like it wouldn't hurt? I don't like to use anything on the machine for cleaning that I couldn't eat, so if the degreaser is a chemical base, I wouldn't recommend it, but I am sure it is possible to use.

    Just used machine for the first time. After about 10 cones the cotton candy started coming out like a tornado- twisty - and was hard to get on the cones. Are we doing something wrong? Also sugar was collecting around the top of the area where you add the sugar pretty thick - does this have something to do with it?

    • @yvonnealvord8947
      @yvonnealvord8947 2 роки тому +1

      The machine needs to be heated at maximum temp for about 5 minutes... At that time period adjust your volt meter to 70% after the preheat. If you keep it too high it will burn the sugar, if it is too low it sends the sugar out of the head to the sides of the bowl. It takes practice and experience to get the heating right but after consistent results you will figure your machine out. After an hour I seem to accumulate sugar at the bowl sides crystalized. To date nothing has stopped that. That volt meter can be slightly adjusted now and again as you are spinning cones to get better results, experiment. All of the sugar on the bowl sides can be used for other baking if you get conservative or at the very least dissolve it in water and pour on your outdoor plants. Yes plants like sugar water!
