Amazing car! suitable for catering equipment and accessories

This machine is amazing! We were so pleased that we made 2 batches in a row! Don't forget to stock up on Flavacol (1 teaspoon per batch) and Snappy Pure Coconut Oil (1/3 cup per batch) too! We used Orville Redenbacher popcorn (1 cup per batch). This left some unnamed. I will buy different popcorns to see which one is best. This is very tasty popcorn! The car itself is amazing! Very easy to clean and has a heat light to keep popcorn warm until you need seconds. You need seconds! I've wanted this

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Smaller than we first thought! check measurements.

We've been looking for popcorn makers for a long time and we finally liked this machine. However, once assembled, we found that emptying the pre-loaded popcorn bags into the kettle was very difficult due to the limited space left inside the machine. Had I noticed this setup before ordering, I would have spent the extra money on a double door machine or a machine with more cargo space. It also makes cleaning difficult as we have to completely remove the kettle to clean it due to its position and

  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Annoyed

Good machine for about 5 flaps

pops is good. Lots of steam. The cost of popcorn depends on the brand you buy. I bought the recommended popcorn for this popper and hit or miss the packets. Something fresh, something stale. It's not Popper's fault. The instructions were very confusing and could have been more detailed. When I was done, it was actually pretty easy to do. Looks good. Unfolds quickly. I just wish it was a little bigger. **UPDATE** After about 5 uses, the pot with the popcorn didn't stay closed during the pop, and

Great popcorn maker that's hard to clean

For example looks and size - not as big as I thought (which is a good thing). Assembly went fine until I attached the wheel frame to the bottom of the box - the holes weren't even close. I had to expand the 4 holes in the wheel frame with a drill and a jigsaw. But once together it looked great. I just made the first batch with Orville Redenbacher, Flavocal and coconut oil - turned out great. Slightly smoky (I think from the first use). Exploded grains fell out when popped due to the glass door…

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Some little things

Great taste with Great Northern or Sam's Club Signature packages.

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…

Don't pop the corn

Honestly I read a lot of reviews about this machine and thought it would be difficult to assemble. It really wasn't! The whole thing alone took about 45 minutes. I complain that the corn doesn't pop! It just glides over the pan without cracking. I've tried wholesale corn and ready meals. Neither one nor the other will burst. I scoured the internet trying to figure out exactly what was going on. Dry corn or a kettle that wasn't hot enough seemed to be the answers that came to my mind most often.

Pros
  • NOSTALGIC DESIGN - The matinee style popcorn maker has an eye-catching design that captures the vintage charm of vintage machines. It brings the feel and smell of the cinema straight to your home or event.
Cons
  • Not bad but...

There are no assembly instructions.

I am pleased with the look and feel of this machine is all metal and glass. I think this color will be more neutral and will work with different decor. You can see in the picture how big it is compared to our TV on the dresser. It is assembled in reverse order what that Removal involves 4 screws, flip box and screws back in. I'll be doing that over the next few days. I made some random notes to clarify reassembly, maybe it helps someone else. First you need to decipher my scratches. My husband…

Cons
  • Out of fashion

"Pretty good" value for the price, but you're not paying for a high-end product. First positive points: the shipping was fast and the packaging was well designed to protect the product (although unpacking is not very easy!). The assembly was relatively easy, just look at the photos. The kettle heats up very quickly and quickly cooks a full batch of 8 oz popcorn. You don't have to wait long for the kettle to heat up. The agitator keeps the popcorn moving well and thankfully it's quiet. I have…

  • FRESH POPCORN. The 850W popcorn maker includes an 8-ounce stainless steel kettle capable of boiling about 3 gallons of popcorn, a heated counter to keep that tasty snack fresh, and an old maid drawer that collects discarded kernels for easy cleanup.
