    • Popcorn machine
Style: Blue
This is the best popcorn machine for your family gatherings or for your business. I definitely recommend anyone who is looking for one to buy this one

    • Great machine!
Style: Red
Bought this for my family. It's a sturdy machine, with large capacity 12 ounce popping kettle. Pops quickly and consistently. I've hauled it around to volunteer events and parties and it's always a hit. And a superior popper to those I've seen in local businesses and schools. Cleans easily, and popper is removable. The real trick is to find the balance of oil and flavored sale with your batches. The 12 ounce capacity holds 1.5 cups of popcorn and recommends 8 tablespoons of oil. I use 6 tablespoons and do a combo of canola oil, a little coconut oil and Orville Redenbacher butter flavored oil. Flavacol is the other secret to good tasting popcorn. I use it moderately, and it comes out just like theater popcorn. The warming tray keeps the popcorn warm and can be heated up for days after popping. The only drawback to this machine is its weight-it's pretty heavy. No issue if you have a permanent place for it, and with the weight comes durability. It's been a great investment, and with the price of snacks these days, it's a smart purchase. ... show more

    • Replaces a popcorn maker that was only 5 years old
Style: Blue
We use this to make fresh popcorn for sale at the Little League Snack Shack. It replaces a unit of very similar design but sold under a different name. The kettle had burned out on the old unit. Although the old unit burned out after 5 years of use. It was actually used for just 3 years due to the COVID shutdown. The new unit has no design changes compared to the old other than a change in graphics. In fact, the new kettle fits onto the old unit and we now have the option of ordering a replacement kettle to give us a spare unit should we need to replace one at our other Snack Shack. We use the popcorn maker 2 or 3 times per week during the 5-month spring baseball season and for the 10 week fall baseball season (Sunday games). Some of the features we like are the glass panels used. Cleanup is easier than popcorn makers using plastic panels. Another feature is the ease is kettle removal for cleaning. The kettle hinges using 2 knobs on opposite sides of the kettle that hang from brackets at the top of the popcorn maker. Some other popcorn makers use a spindle and a spring cotter pin as the kettle hinge. The spring cotter pin is difficult to remove, clean, and reattach. One feature that could be improved is the loose fitting metal frame channels at the bottom of the side and rear glass panels. Popcorn debris needs to be cleaned out of the channels at end-of-the-day cleanings. We use wooden coffee stir sticks to dig out the popcorn debris. Overall, we are pleased with the new unit. The kettle heats up much faster than the old one and we are glad that quality materials were used. ... show more

    • Great popcorn, fast but small housing
Style: Blue
I work a large school concessions stand. We had 2 old Gold Medal machines that both failed. They were so old that our handyman couldn't even find valid part numbers! I was tasked with finding a replacement, quickly, until we could budget for a Gold Medal (which BTW are very expensive). This was one of the few 12oz machines available for immediate delivery but I had some concern about the large price differences between machines without any obvious real why the prices varied so much. Received this item quickly, as promised, and one thing I noticed right away was that even though the kettle size was the same as our old machines- 12oz- the housing is much smaller. I knew the housing was smaller but I didn't realize how small until I saw it in person. Our old machines took the entire footprint of a utility cart and this takes up about half the footprint. Setup was quick. I was very pleased that the kettle is not hardwired because that made cleaning very difficult. This is a plug- in kettle so it can be removed easily for proper cleaning. After hanging the kettle, you can pop the front service door on, the hinged glass doors, and the corner protectors. Finally place the kernel drawer underneath. That's it, you're ready to go. I suggest wiping everything with a damp cloth and light dish soap before complete assembly since you will be serving food directly from the machine. Besides all the items needed for assembly the package also came with a salt shaker, scoop, measuring cups, popcorn bags and reusable boxes. This machine pops 1-1/2 cups of kernels, 1/2 cup popcorn oil, 1 tbsp seasoned salt which of course gives you 12 oz of popped corn. For our typical 1.25oz box we serve it truly filled appx 9 boxes as expected with very little unpopped kernel waste. You could easily pop 2 batches at a time but no more as the housing is too small to do more. In comparison our old machine could hold 4 batches. because this machine pops faster I'm not actually expecting this to be as big of a problem as anticipated. That said, the 2 reasons so far that I took a star off is the small housing. This is more personal preference than design flaw since the dimensions are shown but whereas we could put our hands and box into the housing to fill boxes now we have to bring the scoop outside the housing to fill the box. Not a huge deal but leaves a small pile of inevitable dropped kernels at your feet and the whole filling process feels a little tight. The second reason is that the service door does not stay propped up when you open the glass doors. It's held into place by the glass doors so any time you open the doors it falls open at you and then you have to prop it back up again to close the doors. Another not huge issue but worth noting as a minor annoyance. Side note: in case you think the glass doors won't stay open, push them flush with the housing and they will! Final words: if you are using this for concessions as we are I think you'll be pleased with this machine but if you're a large school like us you may want to consider a larger housing. We might still get a second one next season given the great price and speed and great popped result. But given an endless budget I'd still spring for a model with a larger housing. ... show more

    • Cleanup! Best popcorn machine ever!
Style: Blue
Beside its performance, which is exceptional, the cleanup of this machine is much more easier than my previously owned popper, and now, I enjoy popping corn for just myself. Before (on the old popper) I’ll leave out its name, I actually avoided using it even when the desire was overwhelming to pop a fresh batch of popcorn, even for multiple family or friends, because I dreaded the cleanup. Now, I use it, sometimes three times a day because this popper is so easy to clean that it outperforms itself for being exceptionally perfect as a popcorn machine, too! To the manufacturer, thanks and much respect for your insight in engineering this system!! I highly recommend this popper as an everyday popcorn machine even if you are using it for a single bag of popcorn! ... show more
