This chocolate fountain question came across my desk over the weekend and I thought it would be a good one to address here.

Question:
Do you have rechargeable chocolate fountains for sale?
Answer:
No, all of our chocolate fountains are commercial grade and operate on 100,110 or 220v (depending on the country shipped to).
Because of the amount of torque required to move real chocolate, any motor running on a rechargeable battery would have to run very thin chocolate or syrup and the fountain would have to be quite small.
Our fountains hold from 10 to 20 lbs of chocolate and are constructed to run for hours at a time. The motor and drive system is designed for the heavy torque required to run a thick fondue.
I have seen a variation on this question and posted an entry here previously on using mini chocolate fountains as table centerpieces. The request for a rechargeable chocolate fountain addresses on of the many problems that the centerpiece question posed; having to run power to every table to drive these little toy fountains.
