 Totally Disappointed June 29, 2007
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I thought of this at the last minute when I was trying to help my daughter think of things to do for her teenage sleepover. I thought I was getting a good deal at my local target. It was on sale for 39.99 (from 49.99) -- then I read all these reviews that some only paid 10.00 for it! Well ... that isn't the reason I am disappointed but it dosen't help either.
I brought this home and put it together fairly easy. Then I looked for the book so that we could melt the chocolate and start dipping. No book. I bought the only one at our local Target too so I knew there was no use going back. I called Rival and the person told me they would e-mail it to me within 15 minutes. I waited 30 minutes and called them back. A second person who answered the phone there told me she would email the booklet via pdf file within a few minutes. I asked her if she was sure -- yes she says. Still waiting... I called back 15 minutes later (the guests were due to arrive any minute). I get a recording telling me to please call back again because they were now closed! I never did get anything sent to me.
After researching for an hour on the internet, I knew I had to melt the chocolate first and add oil. I added approx 1/8 cup of oil to 1.5 lbs of chocolate and I never could get it to go up the middle and flow down. I don't even have any idea if I came close to doing it right or not. I'm so disappointed that I'm taking it back in the morning...

What is there to say - it works, use good chocolate and you won't be disappointed! Great for cozy nights with you and the wife watching a good movie together.

Don't hesitate to buy this. Simple to assemble and use, it's great for I'd guess up to 10 people. Melting chocolate chips with canola oil was child's play. Turn the fountain on and voila - practically instant party. Even this small version looks classy. Taste and consistency of the fondue was outstanding. Everyone ate too much. Clean up was easier than you might imagine, just soak in soapy water to get the majority of the chocolate off, then into the dishwasher. What a blast! Can't wait to do it again.

My daughter (12) had eight of her of girl friends over for a party, and for dessert we tried the Fondue Fountain for the first time. Instructions for assembly and use were clear and the fountain went together very easily. We melted two pounds of chocolate, poured it into the fountain and it worked fine. I never saw two pounds of chocolate go so fast. Clean up was a snap, all the components (except for the motor and the girls) go right into the dishwasher. For the price, $10.99 on sale, I would definitely recommend it.
works great for the price April 2, 2007

This is a great small appliance that I grown to l with only two uses. Though it says that it has a 2-pound capacity, I found that I needed maybe a pound more to get the flow right - more might be needed still. Clean up is a little tedious as there's more oils in the chocolate used, but a silicon spatula and a sink full of a good dishwashing soap did the trick. Also, I noticed that it does shake/vibrate a little once the motor turns on, could be out of balance. Great for small parties. I can understand why some fountains have stainless-steel 'trees' - the chocolate will stay warmed throughout the whole process of falling and being pushed back up. Apparently, it can be used for cold sauces (motor with no heat) and without the fountain attachment as a warming basin (heat only) - I have yet to try these options. I would recommend this product.
