Nostalgia 4 Tier Electric Chocolate Fondue Fountain Machine for Parties - Melts Cheese, Queso, Candy, and Liqueur - Dip Strawberries, Apple Wedges, Vegetables, and More - 32-Ounce - Stainless Steel

So - funny story. I let my friend’s teenage daughter put this together for me when we used it for the first time. She didn’t read any instructions and apparently didn’t even look at the box and put it together wrong. Everyone at the party were anxiously waiting around the chocolate fountain, ready to dip their treat in it… the top fills up, then the 2nd tier FILLS UP and the chocolate starts to harden. I was so frustrated and ready to pack it up and send it back… only to realize she put it together wrong. I was too busy with other stuff to realize the pieces were upside down collecting the chocolate vs letting it flow over it like a fountain. I sacrificed my clean hands, flipped my things around and became the chocolate fountain hero. It was a huge hit at the party once we figured things out.Anyway - love the chocolate fountain. Easy to use. Surprisingly fairly easy to clean. Would suggest to melt the first round of chocolate in the microwave a little first to get things going a little faster.

I paid about $38 for this small chocolate fountain for a graduation party and it has worked great (we have used it twice). We were careful to heed all the reviewers warnings, followed directions, and we had no problems. Fountain fan for two hours straight with no issues. It was worth the cost!

I received the package and as I was washing each part before use, I noticed a small crack in one of the plastic umbrellas. I contacted Nostalgia to see if they can send me a replacement part but they said they don't have any parts they can send. They advised me to ship the entire thing back to Amazon and ask for a refund or replacement. I only had 5 days until the birthday party so I just ended up using it. It works fine. I read seceral reviews where the chocolate didn't flow well but they probably just didn't add enough oil. I ended up adding a little less than 1/4 up coconut oil to 2 lbs dark chocolate melts. The only con is that it gets pretty loud. I will be returning the current one for another one since I feel the crack in the plastic piece got larger after 1 use.

The kids loved it. It worked well, we mixed our own chocolate. It is One of those things where you learn as you go. There were drips of chocolate everywhere around the fountain. I will make a better display next time. Happy with the product.

Excellent fountain - purchased it to use for my daughter's grad party and it was a hit! It does take about 10 minutes to get heated, so allow for some time. It is easy to use (make sure you use enough enough oil in your chocolate mixture; 1 Tbsp at least to every cup of chocolate chips). I use a mixture of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips (brand name works better than not).

This was a fun centerpiece for my Halloween snack table. Sadly, the fun didn’t last for too long because the chocolate doesn’t stay heated long enough to continue flowing smoothly. It was relatively easy to set up, but the functionality isn’t too practical if you want more than just a picture/video and 5 minutes of use. Was also not fun to clean up, although leaving it to soak for a couple days definitely helped.

Worked for highschool dance for 70 students. Favorite dessert! Favorite dunking item - strawberries. Placed it on a covered box for height. Noise of fountain was NOT noticeable after festivities got started. I purchased 5 lbs of chocolate as recommended in other posts. Cleaned it up while still warm. If you are away from your kitchen, Have a small bottle of vegetable oil to thin chocolate & be ready for clean up just after you use. Clean up: Need something to put melted chocolate in (I threw it away after being used for 4 hrs.), dish soap and bowl to put fountain pieces in after most of the chocolate is rinsed off.

So much fun! This was very easy to use, and not too hard to clean up. It was a hit with all the teens at our graduation party.
