I received this chocolate fountain for Christmass along with a huge amount of chocolate to put in it - as a chocolate lover i could not wait to get it going, i bought alsorts of fruits and sweets that me & the family could dunk into the chocolate to satisify our chocolate craving.
I was even given a douhnut maker which was an extra induldence to dip!
The price is generally the same what ever shop you decide to buy from at a price of £30.00 give or take a few pounds, which i think isnt really that expensive compared to many things you can buy these days.
The machine is easy to use and set up with easy step by step instructions and the controls on the base are also basic. The only problem that i found was trying to clean it - when you have eaten so much choc that you now feel sick and the thought of any more makes you wanna have a lie down the machine needs to be cleaned. If there is choc left in the machine that needs to be removed & so do the fountain towns ( which are covered in choc & very sticky) there is also the screw which is in the middle of the inner tube which makes the chocolate have the fountain effect. All in all this cleaning process can take some time which sometimes is a slight downside.
Also the amount of chocolate that is needed to get the full effect is huge! they recommend chocolate with a large amount of Cocoa & then you need to melt the stuff.
If you have a microwave you could melt the chocolate in there to quicken up the process but there is a heat option on the machine which will melt the chocolate before it can start to flow. They also recoemmend that you add some veg oil to keep the choc look glossy & keep it flowing easily.
Dont get me wrong i love this machine and it is great when you are having a party for kids and adults as it is such a feature - just beware you may put on some pounds!!
