Handy Gourmet Cand Candy Dispenser, 5.75 x 12.00 x 5.75, Red

Cute gift. Not super sturdy but works

Works great for a lot of different candies. Jelly Belly "Belly flops" still work despite the weird shapes, Almond M&Ms work great. Peanut M&Ms kinda get stuck though, but I'm not really into those. I bought this to resolve 3 issues I was running into at work: 1. was that people were contributing to the candy jar on my desk by just pouring in whatever they wanted, and when I had plain M&Ms in the jar and somebody added Reese's Pieces, a war almost broke out. We managed to keep it together, but decided it was time to find a new solution when... 2. Somebody decided to dig his hand to the bottom of the jar and sift through the candy (letting them fall through his fingers) until he'd found the kind he liked. This was all happening right in the middle of the ebola "stuff", so the benefits of good personal hygiene (as well as the drawbacks of bad personal hygiene) were all pretty fresh in our minds. 3. People were actually keeping track of how much candy each of us were eating because it was getting out of control. People were having to try to limit themselves, and pouring candy out of a jar isn't the best way to limit your intake. This little beauty solved all 3 problems. It allowed people to control the portions as they were able to do quick little pumps into their hand, it prevented people from digging their hotdog fingers into the candy as the sections are too small to fit a grown-man's hand in...especially grown men who never learned to wash their hands after using the bathroom. Also, it allowed for people to have different candy options without having to mix it up. Some days you need salty, some sweet, some chocolate, some fruity...we might need to buy another one... UPDATE: This doesn't seem to do too well with Peanut M&Ms. I don't know if there's something about the size/shape, but it keeps getting clogged and ultimately crushes M&Ms creating a crumbled mess in your hand. Works fine with Almond, Peanut Butter, Pretzel and Milk Chocolate M&Ms...but for some reason, Peanut just doesn't work out. Also works great with Jelly Belly Belly Flops despite their odd shapes.

So far so good. The item came fully assembled in a plain brown box inside an amazin box. No issues with damage during shipping. I have plain M&Ms (no problems), peanut butter M&Ms (they do okay), and peanut M&Ms (not a good idea). You really do not want to load to the top because when you push down to get candy out, the mechanism moves up in the area where the candy is so the weight of all the candy above is on that mechanism. I'm glad I read some of the previous reviews about being careful with the clear cylinder as it's not glued down. One of the reviewers mentioned putting tape around the bottom. I may do that just to be safe. This candy isn't chepa and I don't want it to go all over the floor! One of my co-workers started to picked it up and I told her not to do that. I taped a lable to each section to say what was in there (all the M&Ms are the same colors and the peanut and peanut butter are close in size) and I also put a lable on the lid to say please don't lift or tilt. Once the peanut M&Ms are gone I'll put something else smaller in that section like jelly beans. Would not recommend anything that doesn't have a hard shell - i.e., no chocolate covered raisins or gummy bears. They'll get stuck very easily and you'll have a heck of a time getting the stuff out at the bottom. The swivel works smoothly. So far the handles seem to be sturdy enough especially once the candy level had gone down some. Not bad for the money. I just hope nobody picks it up and sends candy spilling everywhere! Update 2/25/16 - Candy dispenser is a hit and is still holding up without any issues. Have one jerk at work that picked it up and I told him don't do that because it may come apart. I fill it with plain and peanut butter M&Ms.

This item has been fun, you can use it with 3 different items, or you can take the dividers out and fill it with one item with 3 dispensers. In our house with some watching what they eat, we have M&M's in the dispenser, and it someone wants something sweet to eat, they get a few M&M's works perfectly. You can put three different items, originally, I had Raisinettes, trail mix and peanut M&M's. Now we are down to plain M&M's! Originally it was a present for someone to take to work for their desk, it never made it, we like it at home too much.

I bought this product because I had a large container on the counter full of cashews. People would come in, lift the lid, and grab a hand full of nuts. (Which is what I wanted them to do) But, I hated the thoughts of all those hands in the container. I started thinking about all the germs on those hands, and all the cashews inside. When I saw this product, "Eureka!" I filled all three sections with cashews. The cashew are a bit big for this product, and sometimes the dispenser cuts the nuts or crumbles them. BUT, all the nuts are clean! It really works well. It is simple to use. My 2 year old grandson can reach the counter, pull the lever, and get his own cashews. I love the product! I do think it would work better with smaller things, like m and m's, peanuts, or jelly beans. It rotates well, and holds a lot more than I thought. I would purchase again. A great gift for kids, or even a great birthday gift filled with candy!

Happy

Geeignet zum Befüllen mit Schokolinsen, Schokokugeln, Kaugummikugeln und Bonbons, alles andere ist eher schwierig, da es nicht so gut durchgeht. Das Reinigen ist eher etwas aufwendig.

Exatamente como anunciado, funciona super bem e vira festa com as crianças

Great purchase and value for money. Holds also a good amount of candies and easy to operate.

Great device, but watch what you put into it. Somethings don't fit but maybe that's just common sense. Built well and works flawlessly. A bit hard to clean though. Great price.
