Chef Buddy 3-Tier Chocolate Fountain



just what we needed
This is perfect size for small parties. Other remarks state it is noisy, but I did not feel that way. Practice before your event. I added to much oil and it would not stick to articles.

Awesome gift
I've used this three times so far with 4-6 people each time, and have to say the results are great. Make sure to follow the recipe that comes with it to ensure proper chocolate flow. I should add that the recipe states to melt the chocolate mixture and stir out the lumps prior to putting into the machine. Once the stirring got very tedious and we did not see any improvements to the lumps, we stuck it in the fountain, and it smoothed it out for us-there is a heat function.
As far as noise, there is a slight hum, but once conversations started it became unnoticeable background noise. I do notice a cleaning issue as well. The product has three parts to it, the base, the black churner and the see through plastic fountain piece all shown in the picture. The base has to be wiped down with a damp cloth/paper towel or wet wipe. It cannot be submerged. Also has to be cleaned quickly after you are done using it. The churner is very easy to clean with no surprises.

works well
The fountain works well but you must use the right chocolate or add oil to the chocolate to make it flow, but that goes for any chocolate fountain. The well is not that deep and if using plain chocolate chips mixed with oil it only holds one normal sized bag. ALWAYS melt your chocolate before you put it in the basin as it does not get hot enough to melt it on its own, if the chocolate doesnt flow, add more oil until it flows smoothly. Another pointer to ensure smooth even flow, make sure it is on a stable and level surface, there are little screw legs to allow you to make it even, you will know that it is not level with the way the flow is. Great for small parties, always a hit. The machine runs a little loud but with music and / or background noise it really isn't a bother.
