Your parties will never be the same when you treat your family and friends to the beautiful and delicious effect created by our Old Fashioned Chocolate Fondue Fountain. Just pour melted brown or white chocolate into the base and switch on the motor, and the chocolate travels up the tower before gently cascading over each tier.

What Others Say
chocolate expolosion
The chocolate would not melt properly. The motor is very loud. And when a piece of solid chocolate tried to enter the auger, the tower dislodged from the motor. The motor responded to the decreased load by instantly increasing the rpm's. The liquid chocolate could not contain itself and began to fly off the spindle in a perfect circle pattern, with a 2 foot radius. An explosion of chocolate showering two people, several bottles of wine, a bottle of Baileys, a decorative tray, the countertop, and the floor. Clean up was easy, only requiring 6 people and 30 minutes. Great for a gag gift, but I do not recommend using it around small children or pets.
don't buy
We bought two for a party (for a vienese table). One was not working at all. The other worked well. So 50% chance that this purchase will work for you.
The good...the bad... the ugly
I was given the Nostalgia fondue fountain last year for Christmas and just used it for the first time the other day (almost a year later) I was really worried about the operation of the machine, since the instructions list pages of things that "can go wrong" and what not to do! Now the machine is on the noisy side but I was fairly happy at the way the machine worked. I didn't have the bad balance problem that some others complain about. This machine is a little difficult to clean, but extremely easy to put together. I got online and found a great chocolate recipe that has you adding 3 bags of assorted choc. chips. (I used, semi-sweet, milk chocolate, and 60% cocoa chips) it's a nice balance of flavor. I put them in a gallon size ziplock with ... Read More
Please Be Quiet!
We used ours for the first time in February, during the Olympics. We had some friends over for a viewing party and decided against putting it in the TV room with us. It is just way too loud. I've sort of lost my enthusiasm for using it now. The Rival one I just noticed said it has a "whisper quiet" motor. Truly? I may have to check that out. I'd recommend not getting the Nostalgia one, if you like to be able to hear your guests and background music.
A piece of junk- DO NOT BUY
This thing is as noisy as they come, Have seen other reviews and I agree. This thing has a design defect right from the factory. Buy the rival CFF5 instead the rival has a removable bowl reservoir that holds more chocolate so your not constantly refilling the thing.
