Ok, I like it. The assembly isn't even bad. The glass door and sides are heavy, no scrap. Three solid switches that I didn't think of when ordering, that's good. Should last for many years. The heat lamp is ideal for heating popcorn and perfect lighting. The wheels are good and the base is solid. It's just a tad smaller than I thought it would be, although the measurements say so. However, all of excellent quality. The metal base is a bit flimsy and the corn kernel drawer is cheap and a bit small. The hinged door under the glass door is a bit cheap. Everything works fine, I haven't bent it yet so that's good. Kettle. Kettle. Why does everyone insist that the kettle rotates the way it rotates? Makes a headache when loading the kettle. My old 2 ounce machine was the same. I really hoped that this visit would make everything different. But it looks like you'll have to step up to the next size from here, too. My 2 cents. I love it. Use it every 3rd day or so. Fantastic product. There are some flaws but for your money (a few hundred) it's just fantastic.
