FAQ cotton candy

Is selling cotton candy profitable?

Absolutely! The profit margin per serving can be as high as 90%. That means selling cotton candy is highly profitable, and your investment in a cotton candy machine pays itself back very quickly.

Is it difficult to make cotton candy?

Not at all. With our professional machines, it’s simple and fast. Each machine comes with clear instructions. Once the machine is warmed up, just pour the cotton candy sugar into the center of the bowl, and the machine does the rest. The spun sugar is then wrapped around a stick — making one serving takes only moments.

Does cotton candy sugar contain artificial azo dyes?

No. Our selection of cotton candy sugars is completely free from azo dyes.

Can I use any kind of sugar in a cotton candy machine?

Cotton candy machines require large-grain sugar. We recommend using specially formulated cotton candy sugar, which has the ideal crystal size to protect the machine’s motor from clogging. Explore our flavor selection here.

How many servings can a cotton candy machine produce per minute or per hour?

Capacity depends on the machine model, ranging from 200–350 servings per hour, or about 4–5 servings per minute. Detailed specifications are available on each product page, updated regularly on our website.

Do cotton candy machines come with a warranty?

Yes. All of our machines include a 12-month warranty.

Is a protective dome necessary?

A dome that fits over the bowl is a handy accessory. It makes cotton candy production easier, improves hygiene, and is especially useful for outdoor sales by keeping the spun sugar from floating away. We strongly recommend using one.

How do I choose the right cotton candy machine?
