Reliable popcorn maker

A few kernels remain unopened. Nothing good will come of just putting in popcorn seeds. If you want really good popcorn, go for the 3-in-1. Or you can buy each ingredient individually.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Hard to tell

As with the new popper, the only downside is the loss of cores on this model. With the recommended kernel to oil ratio (3 to 1) we lose 1/3 of the popcorn kernel with each cook cycle. it's quite bulky and expensive for a popcorn fanatic.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • I don't remember

Popcorn is delicious. Disappointed with mixing 6 and 4

Everything says it's 6 ounces but the label says it's 4 ounces and only 1/2 the 6 ounce pouch pops out. Lots of unopened popcorn. Also, the popcorn tastes great. Frustrated with the 6 vs 4 confusion. EPISODE: I called Great Northern direct and they said they use the same kettle for the 4oz and 6oz machines so you can put 6oz of popcorn in the kettle. They also said he should pop everything but a tablespoon of seeds. I'll see if that changes over time. I raised my stars

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Low repairability

The funniest and tastiest thing in the kitchen and dining room

We've had this for a few years now and we still love it. I would say it's a good choice for a small family or those with small gatherings. We used it for a movie night with friends (kids) and everyone always enjoys it. For our family of four we cook 2-3 batches but I have also cooked 4-5 with great results. I've used different oils and popcorn and it's always good. It's fairly easy to disassemble/reassemble for cleaning, but wiping down after use eliminates the need to disassemble the kettle.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Good mostly but...

Fantastic popper for real theater popcorn!

We LOVE this popcorn maker! I got this for my husband a few months ago and we are absolutely in love! We have a 50 pound bag of popcorn, popcorn butter and flavacol popcorn seasoning, and you don't even realize it's not from the theater. It's a reasonable size to sit on a small table in my dining room and we use it often. We wipe it down every few uses, it's not that bad to clean but certainly not as easy as a bag of microwave popcorn. But it's MUCH tastier and honestly one of the best giftsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • No

Perfect for home use

Just received it and in 10 minutes it was set up and warmed up. The popcorn was delicious, just like in a movie theater. It's the perfect size for 2-4 people, but you can always turn up for more! I think the key is to use universal popcorn bags for the 6 ounce popper. I use bird. They have everything, including salt, so popcorn is delicious without adding anything. The device is smaller than it appears in the photos in the description, but really ideal for home theater or small gatherings. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Neutral

4 ounces or 6 ounces? Better explanation needed

So I've read reviews from people complaining about seeing the 4 ounce label on the door of their so called 6 ounce machine. Then I read the explanations that Great Northern uses a 6 ounce kettle for both the 4 ounce and 6 ounce machines. Anyone else think that sounds a bit off? I checked out the big northern website. They show the exact same dimensions for their 4 ounce and 6 ounce machines. So if it's the size of the kettle that sets them apart, how can these Revain explanations make anyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

I like it. About Popcorn Poppers

I had a cheaper popcorn maker before so this was a pretty good upgrade for me. This one is slightly wider so it's easier to avoid burns when pouring ingredients. The metal on the sides seems nice and strong to me but the bottom door metal is thin and flimsy, same goes for the seed tray but to be honest I'm ok with that. It heats up pretty quickly and so far I haven't had any problems with it, the popcorn tasted really good. My biggest problem was getting this thing in the first place. When Iโ€ฆ
