Did you ever get it to really work? I've tried candies and floss but ave had no luck! Is there a trick to it?

I used regular sugar out of the bag to make the cotton candy . Let the machine pre heat the entire 10 minutes , cut it off. Add exactly the amount in the little scoop . No more , no less. It will take a while, all of a sudden you will see webs of cotton candy, start twirling the cone to catch it, it will go airborne, stick to things, be careful with it, just keep spinning the cone , next time I may place this outside on a sturdy table. My 3 year old grandson loved watching the machine, the metal piece is extremely hot. Keep the kids away from it. Some sugar was on my nearby toaster and on my kitchen back splash. Was not hard to clean up. Was colorless since I used plain old sugar .He loves it! So I do too.

Can you use maple sugar?

Never tried maple sugar, but I wouldn't advise it. Anything that is too sticky will "gum up" in the unit and it's a real pain to scrape it off. I use floss sugar made for this unit. You can purchase it at a Smart & Final store if there is one near you. Much cheaper than anywhere else.

How long does it usually take to heat up?

In directions is says heat it up ten minutes shut off put in flossing sugar and turn back on it wasn't long until web of sugar was coming up
