The first time I used this item, I used Ghirardelli Baking Chips. I had to add a lot of oil to get any kind of sheeting which made the chocolate taste horrible. The second time, I spent a lot of money on professional fountain chocolate (Sephra brand) with a high cocoa butter content. The results weren't much better. It seems that there are two possible problems with the design of this fountain. Either the chocolate isn't kept hot enough or the auger doesn't "pump" fast enough. The melted chocolate seemed to be coming out of the top of the fountain very well. It looks runny enough and sheets down the top shaft nicely. But by the time it gets to the first "fall", it seems to be running way too slow to form a continuous sheet. By the time it falls from the last level, it's just dripping.

We ordered 4 of these to use for a small work function, and 2 of the 4 worked for about 15 minutes. The other 2 would not push the chocoloate thru the auger at all. By 30 minutes, all 4 augers were inoperable. We cleaned them off and added more oil to already tempered chocolate, hoping even thinner chocolate would help, but no luck. We ended up pulling the fountain part off, turning off the auger and using them as mini crock pots to keep the chocolate warm. I do not recommend this product!
 Little noisy but works great. Big hit! September 24, 2006

We had a lot of fun with this fountain at a couple of parties. It's a little noisy, but you won't notice it if it is a larger party. Everyone loved it and asked where I got it. I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond for about $40 using one of their 20% off coupons that come in the mail almost every week.
I used semi-sweet chocolate chips (tried Nestle & Ghiradelli) and generic canola oil. I let the fountain run for about 5 hours without a problem. I noticed I had to add a little extra oil when I first started to get it to flow smoothly. You also have to make sure it is completely level.
You have to make sure the chocolate is smooth before you put it in otherwise it won't work. I overcooked some white chocolate chips when trying to melt them. They wouldn't work. If there are a couple of clumps still in your chocolate after taking it out of the microwave, just continue to stir until completely melted rather than keep putting it back in the microwave. That's how I overcooked the white chocolate.
We used wooden skewer sticks for many of the items. We tried marshmallows, Oreos, Nutter Butters, dried apples chips, pretzels, fresh pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, peaches, marshiano cherries, piroette cookies, and regular Pringles. At home we tried something fun - banana slices, strawberries & cherries dipped in the fountain & then used the canned whipped cream - Banana Split. Lots of fun! You can really get creative.

I didn't expect great things from this machine, considering the price.But I did expect at least the very minimum. I bought 2 because I knew I was hostessing 3 baby showers this year & thought it would be really nice to have 1 machine flowing milk chocolate & a 2nd flowing white, with a nice tiered arrangment filled with fresh strawberrys & assorted fruit. Maybe a tier of nice cookies...WOW I was so dissapointed the 1st time I used them, what a nightmare! They don't flow smoothly at all,one of them malfunctions badly & the 2nd is not much better! I even tried them at the 2nd baby shower thinking maybe I was being unfair or had done something wrong??? Nope exact same horror! Clean-up is not a good or easy thing either! I have packed them up & they are going back! For that 3rd shower I will dip my own strawberries & make a pretty arrangment, stress & clean-up on that will be much much less! I am so frustrated over the machines I hate that I even have to give them 1 star.
