THE CLASSIC - 18" Home Fondue Fountain

The chocolate flow is very smooth and even, and it does not get any gaps in the flow on any side. Something I find helpful and appealing about this fountain is that the motor does not make any noise. When you’re using the chocolate fountain, and it is on during the event or occasion people do not want to hear that loud motor noise. Overall, I think it is worth paying for you if you plan on reusing it. The material is great, so it does not break easily and when I ordered it, I had no problem with packaging either. I found it to be the easiest from the ones I have seen and tried personally. I never had a problem or technical difficulty with this product so far. I have already used it several times and it has worked fantastically. Unlike other fountains you can also use cheese instead of chocolate if someone wants to use cheese instead of chocolate. It just works amazing, and it has so many benefits that others do not offer, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fountain.

My Sephra Fondue Fountain worked just as advertised. Its operation was very quiet and the fountain provided an even flow of chocolate for my guests to enjoy. I used Hershey's chocolate bars and added sufficient milk a little at a time, to achieve the right consistency......it was so yummy and easy to prepare. The left over chocolate is now in the freezer ready for my next event. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

Set up was easy, turned on the heat 30 minutes before adding chocolate. Used Sephora chocolate, melted like the instructions said. Poured 2 bags (4 lbs) turned machine on. The chocolate seemed a little thick but I stirred it with a spoon. Turned it off and burped the machine and seemed to work fine. I added one more bag (2 lbs) and burped it again. This machine holds max 6lbs of chocolate. Worked perfectly. The party was for 100 people and the 6lbs was enough. It was a success and received lots of compliments on the flavor of the chocolate.

I bought this cautiously after reading Amazon reviews. I had never even seen a chocolate fountain before, but the doctor I worked for wanted to have 2 going for a Ladies' Nite he was hosting at his clinic. Everything went without a hitch and they were the focal point of the party. My biggest concerns after reading the reviews was that it wouldn't work, or that it wouldn't work right, or that it would be hard to clean. However, I found the instructions very, very clear and simply followed them to a "T". The instructions aren't hard, long or really detailed, and they seem to be written to take care of any potential problems beforehand. Since many of the negative reviews seem to be older, perhaps this product had a bad instruction manual then or was designed differently. However, I felt that everything was pretty straightforward and since I used two of them all evening and got the same result, I would recommend this unit.

UPDATE on 7/19/2014: I still own this unit and have used it several times since writing this review. I would only add 3 tips to new users for it: 1) Be sure to be gentle with the tube plastic pieces when they are assembled, because I accidentally snapped off a tab when I wasn't thinking and stressed the unit. The assembly still works perfectly fine. 2) if the fountain is not having the pretty uniform draping effect, simply turn the auger off and wait until the chocolate drops down back into the bottom. This has happened for me more than once and I kept thinking it had something to do with the chocolate when it was simply there was air in the system. It happens mostly when the unit has been running for many hours and/or the chocolate level in the bottom basin gets too low. Because of that... 3) Keep the chocolate in the basin all the way to the rim of the curve of the basin, allowing the straight edge to show (about 1" from the top).

I bought this for my daughter's graduation party. It was a HUGE hit, worked beautifully and was very easy to set up and use. Read the directions on getting the air out of it (very simple - turn it off and then back on a time or two) to make the chocolate flow smoothly. I used the Sephra chocolate in it also which was very good. We started with two bags (4 lbs.) and added one more during the party. We washed it as soon as we turned it off and got the extra chocolate out. I would DEFINITELY recommnend this chocolate fountain and the Sephra chocolate!

The product arrived on time and it exceeded my expectations. It is a good looking item just as pictured. It will melt the chocolate in the unit and it does so quickly. The auger runs at a good speed and the chocolate flows well. Clean up was easy as the plastic parts are dishwasher safe. Over all we thoroughly enjoy the fountain, it was a hit at our party. It has twist leveling feet under the base so you can adapt it to flow on a slightly uneven surface(big plus). Have recommended it to family and friends.

It worked just like the picture!

This fountain was super quiet and beautiful. I looked into renting one for a shower I was hosting but they wanted $350 a day. So I researched a ton of fountains. My main concern was noise, but I also read a lot about difficulties with cleaning. This fountain was whisper quit and super easy to clean. It's dishwasher safe, came sparkling clean. Super easy to assemble. Everyone asked where I got it from, and if I was going to bring it to the wedding. Women love chocolate everything, so a flowing fountain of chocolate, NUMMY!
