This mini-fountain made for such an amazing bridal shower attraction! The instructions hinted that consistency of the chocolate might be an issue, but I used chocolate melting wafers and didn't have to add any oil for it to flow smoothly. The stainless steel cleans very well with hot, soapy water. Also, I was pleasantly suprised to receive it only 4 - 5 days after I placed my order! Can't wait to use it again!

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? same
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Only used one time so far, but no sign of malfunction or overheating which was my biggest concern
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? I thought the description said it had dishwasher safe parts (obviously other than the base), but instructions say otherwise?

I purchased this for my son's graduation party. Other than the noise, it works great! It was a big hit at the party - young and old loved it. My sister has borrowed it twice for an open house at the nursing home she works for and loves it. The motor on it is a bit noisy at first, but once you get used to it its okay.

The tower was crooked. The motor was really loud. The chocolate cooled off quickly. The temperature of the cholcolate was only about 95 degrees. With out a varied temperature gage, it is impossible to regulate the heat. Luckly the tower was crooked so I had an excuse to return it. Oh yeah, the light to indicate if the unit is on is not bright enough to see. Maybe mine was just broken. I agree with pay cheap, get cheap. I will pay more for a better one next time.

Nothing against Overstock but sorry, the fountain didn't measure up. Other reviews said it was noisy but I thought we'd try our luck. They were right, it was VERY NOISY! I don't think it would've been much quieter with the chocolate in it. We ended up using another fountain loaned by a friend. You hardly noticed it running. (Rival)

I bought this for my daughters sweet 16 party. It was a big hit! It is very easy to use and the cleanup was not bad at all....about 5 minutes. Can't wait to use it again!

I have had over 5 chocolate fountains, since I entertain weekly with one to watch American Idol. This fountain by Kalorik has had the worst sound and pump of all the brands I had tried before. I usually will burn out a fountain's pump after six months of weekly use, but this one could not even get all the chocolate up to flow evenly. I do not reccomend this fountain.

It's an entertaining product, but it's not as good as I thought it would be. The tier is not so level so even when the base is leveled, the flow is not quite even. On the other hands, it's a fun thing to have and the kids don't seem to care if the chocolate flow all around.

I bought the fountain to use for cheese so I was prepared to find some issues. It was quite an attention getter even though it did not flow all the way to the resevoir( to be expected) The cheese does not stay even luke warm, and to actually attempt to dip food into the sheet of cheese is one unbelievable mess.Maybe at a small family gathering in the kitchen at the bar would work better.I will try it with chocolate . Easy to clean the machine itself . But very messy to keep adding cheese, have to keep a crockpot with warm cheese close by

Ordered two of these for what our local rental place wanted to rent ONE and still had money left to buy all kinds of chocolate. They both operated flawlessly. Absolute hit of the party. I agree with one review that said they would not get warm enough to do cheese. It could have been a bit better if it went up a few degrees but I have no complaints overall. Easy to set up, worked right out of the box and looked gorgeous all night. Clean up wasn't too bad, I suggest having a bottle brush to really clean it well, but hot soapy water had it sparkling like new. I knocked one over on my counter and it dented the rim, a heavier model would have probably not done that but for the money and the ease, it was great. Reshaped it by hand, still holds everything in. Operated very quietly. Thrilled with my purchase.
