Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nostalgia CFF-990 Stainless-Steel 3-Tier Chocolate Fondue Fountain
Customer Review: Plastic fountain
Summary: 3 Stars
I was under the impression that the fountain itself was going to be stainless steel but it is actually plastic. Never the less it is still a good fountain and worth the price.Customer Review: Total Joke
Summary: 1 Stars
This item was a total flop. We bought this item for our wedding as a last minute decision and it arrived 2 days before the wedding. Once we opened the item and went through the parts list, we noticed that it was missing the auger that aggitates the chocolate. I went through the process here on amazon.com to return it, only to be told that we could not return this item. Amazon recommended we contacted the manufacturer and they informed us that they didn't have this part even available for individual distribution. So long story short, 50 something bucks plus shipping just to have a useless, incomplete fountain that we can't even return/sell or buy replacement parts for. This was actually my first item I ever bought through Amazon.com and I can say it will most likely be my last. Its a shame when you can find better customer service through individual-operated markets like ebay, craigslist than you can with an established, "reputable" online store like Amazon.com. :(Customer Review: Motor too slow, then burned out.

Junk!
We melted, mixed and thinned the chocolate exactly per the directions enclosed. We leveled the unit with a bubble level.
Problem:
The unit uses and Archimedes screw to lift the liquid within the tower.
The tower must be precisely fitted over the screw in order for the screw to turn freely; there is too much play in the Archimedes screw/motor shaft connection.
That said, the motor turns too slowly to adequately lift the liquid; less than 2 RPM. We verified the screw was not bound and continued to let the motor run. Within 5 minutes, the motor failed. The chocolate had not hardened and was very free-flowing
We received the unit for Christmas 2007 and first used it July 26, 2008. We'll see if they honor the warranty which states 90 days from purchase, not 90 days from 1st use.
Customer Review: worked for only 10 minutes
Summary: 1 Stars
The chocolate fountain worked great at first (once we got the table level & added the proper amount of oil to the chocolate chips as mentioned in the instructions). About 10 minutes later, the auger just stopped turning, and the chocolate stopped flowing. I cleaned all the chocolate out, tried it with water and it turned. I made sure there weren't any chunks in the chocolate and tried it again and once again it wouldn't turn at all. All the teenagers at my daughter's 16th birthday party had been really excited about the fountain, and everyone was sad when it stopped working. Several days later We tried again with water and the auger turned, but with chocolate, it did not. I even tried the special Belgin fondue Chocolate (made for fountains) and that didn't work either. I have since returned it and am awaiting a refund.Customer Review: The source this incomplete
