We like it! March 8, 2007

I ordered this for Easter, unfortunately I forgot about it the day it came and my son was expecting a scooter, so when we got an Amazon box, he opened the chocolate fountain. I have 6 kids and the chocolate fountain news spread like wild fire! They were so excited!!!! A couple days later, we started it up and were pleased with how well it worked. It's easy to put together, we did it without the directions (we couldn't find them at the time, had looked at them to get ideas for treats and didn't put them back in the box). The cleanup is messy, but everything except the motor/heat part is dishwasher safe...so that's easy also. We used chocolate chips melted in the microwave with oil. Worked well. When we were done, we dumped the melted chocolate into a bowl with a lid and next time reheated it in the microwave before putting it in the fountain, worked great.
We used bananas, apples, oranges, strawberries, pretzels, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, animal crackers and some other things I don't remember.
I recommend using toothpicks instead of the skewers!
My favorite part of this normally $29.99 fountain is I bought it on sale for $10.99...YEA!
 Worked great for us! March 6, 2007

I ordered 2 of these machines for 10.99 each, got them lightning fast thanks to my prime trial, and a day later ordered the SF Signature Fondue Chocolate. So when it came, the following weekend I took the fountain to a friends house and we proceeded to make chocolate heaven!
First with the SF Signature Fondue Chocolate, all you have to do is nuke it in the microwave on low til the chocolate melts so that you can squish it around. Then pour it into the fountain that you've been preheating and within a minute or so chocolate will flow like it was always meant to! You can use regular chocolate from a grocery store, but you have to add oil to help it flow, and for some reason that sounds less appealing to me.
Some people are getting bum machines. Not us, thankfully. So we quite enjoyed our chocolate feast, and will have another one soon... We did use the SF Signature Fondue Chocolate milk chocolate which was a little sweet, perhaps next time we'll use semi-sweet or a mixture of the two.
Good times, good times!
 Disappointing, totally defective item March 1, 2007

I would give it zero stars if I could.
Got the product, followed the manual to get everything ready, plugged it in, turn the knob on....and NOTHING! No power, no fan sound, no light, NOTHING!
That's about what this product is worth to me right now, NOTHING!
Disappointed to put it mildly.
Shame on Rival for slapping a quality control sticker on an item that doesn't even power up.
**UPDATE**
Amazon sent me a replacement unit, and guess what? The replacement unit didn't work either! I made sure the pieces went together as instructed, and that the auger was properly snapped into place, but no dice.
Amazon told me they could not ship another replacement because it was, and I quote "As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement. [Hence, I request you to return the item for a full refund]."
...and yet it is still for sale here on Amazon.
Fountain is GREAT for ENTERTAINING!! February 21, 2007
GREAT FOUNTAIN...GREAT PRICE!!!! The first Rival fountain I purchased was the CFF5, which is the 2-5 lb capacity and that was great. But this one is even better for a smaller crowd! My family and friends often come over for dinner parties and we use this every time. I used both the bakers chocolate sold in supermarkets and chocolate from a chocolatier and they both have the same flow on the fountain. Not sure what the other reviewers were stating about the chocolate not flowing but if you use the amount of vegetable oil instructed for the different qualities of chocolate everything will work perfectly!!!

The fountain was a gift for my girlfriend to celebrate three years of dating. She loved it so much. The fountain worked well...the first time we used it, it didn't flow so great, but we turned it off and came back to it a little later and it worked perfect. Even when the flow wasn't as good it still flowed enough to get some tasty treats dipped in chocolate. This was a great product and I love it.
