  • Three years and still popping!
My family and I love this popcorn maker. I am able to make movie theater popcorn with it every time. For the first couple of years we purchased the ready made packets of popcorn from Great Northern. We pop so much that we've started to purchase our corn, butter, and salt from Sam's club. Still has the same great taste. Is it compact? Yes. As some have complained, it is a little tight for cleaning and you do need to be careful with the metal corners inside. It isn't that big of an issue for us. My son or I are careful and have had no issues cleaning the inside. I boil water in our tea kettle and pour it into the popcorn kettle. I let it sit for five or so minutes, dump out the water and use a few paper towels to wipe it out. No big deal. We use warm soapy water to clean the glass. Also an easy clean. We've had our popper for just over three years - pretty heavy weekend use. We did have an issue with the door cracking as others have described. I called the company and ordered a replacement. I got busy with work and didn't call them to ask about our door for over three months. When I emailed them about the missing door, the replied that they had sent one months ago, but would send another asap. It came in a few days later. One other issue we have had lately...the light switch popped off. I wandered the aisles at Lowe's one afternoon and found the exact same switches your maker uses. Easy fix and only cost $5.00. I know that every now and then, someone is bound to buy one that is a lemon. Ours has certainly not been one of those. We love and I recommend it for a family that prefers to pop their own corn, make it more like or better than movie theater popcorn, and has the patience to spend about ten to fifteen minutes cleaning the machine up at the end of the weekend. ... show more

  • We use this every other day!
Ok, this was the bomb. We got this for our daughter's wedding reception, and it was such a hit. Hot, fresh, buttery popcorn to snack on while last minute details were being taken care of? Ohhhh yeah. And then another batch a while after dinner, to carry out with a beverage and hang around the fire pit? You betcha! It was SO great. A couple things: This COMES WITH a SCOOPER for the finished popcorn, so don't buy the "suggested" one. We did, spent the 20 bucks and didn't even need it! Also, the DOOR: a ton of people are blah blahing about the door being plexi-glass and breaking, etc. As of 5/20/2015, if you buy this exact model, the door is glass. And if you use common sense, you won't break the door. Don't over tighten the screws, don't slam the door, don't put ice cold water on an extremely hot door.... you get the point. About CLEANING: So many people are complaining about it being hard to clean. It's so NOT hard to clean. Apparently, those who think it is, have not discovered that the metal "popper" part..... comes right out, may be cleaned, and then pop it right back in. (Pop. Haha. Get it?) Obviously, DO NOT put it down IN the water, just as it says. But carefully UNPLUGGING IT and taking it out for cleaning makes cleaning the popper AND the glass case SO much easier. We just scoop out all remaining popped corn, toss it, (or feed it to the ducks, squirrels, etc.), then push remaining kernels around so they fall thru the bottom metal grid into the metal pullout drawer/tray below. Remove pullout drawer/tray, as well as the metal fold down "shield" piece in the front (push each side in slightly to get it out), and the metal bottom grid. All three just pull right out, and can be submersed in hot soapy water if you like and, of course, dried thoroughly. Wipe down the inside of the glass case with something very mild, but think about what you're using in there. You DON'T want your popcorn tasting like your cleaning product. (I like hot water with a teeny bit of dish detergent in it, followed by another wipe of plain hot water.) Be very gentle around the light bulb. When everything is nice and dry, you simply put the metal popper back in exactly the way it came out, put the drawer/tray back in, place the metal grid in the bottom, and place the shield in front below the glass door. You're ready to go for next time! All of this takes no more than 8 to 10 minutes. The final thing is the TASTE of the popcorn itself: The popcorn packets they have listed on here are "ok", but they're missing.... something. The popped corn is a little ...well... maybe "tough".... is the word I'm looking for.... and it just doesn't quite have that movie theater taste, even though it smells like it does. Don't get me wrong. It's 500 times better than microwave popcorn, but I feel like it could be "better". That being said, I think maybe we'll try doing what many others are suggesting. It has something to do with coconut oil I think. Read their "recipes", and let's all get this party started! ... show more

  • Great Build Quality & Excellent Popcorn!
I use a large commercial popcorn machine occasionally at my work, and wasn't expecting this machine to be as good. First of all, I was surprised at the quality of the stainless steel used to build it (I was expecting it to be flimsy). It also has three glass sides, (I was expecting plexiglass) and a heater on the bottom to keep the popcorn warm (be careful as I burned a finger not realizing it was there!). I find that it's actually as easy to clean this as the big commercial popper at work, because removing the popping kettle on this one is so much easier. The most important thing, however, is that it makes great popcorn (not chewy like air popped corn, or waxy like microwave popcorn). The popcorn is also good even the next few days after popping it. I purchased this to replace previous attempts (over the years) at making great popcorn (stir-crazy popper, air popper, & a stove-top stirring popper), and I couldn't be more happy with the investment. It's also small enough I can put it away between uses (in a big cupboard under my counter). I highly recommend this to anyone who wants real movie-house popcorn in their home. Had I known that you could purchase this commercial quality for under a few hundred bucks, I would have purchased this years ago! ... show more

  • The Best Popcorn You Will Ever Have!
UPDATE: Six months in and I have not had any issues out of this popper which sees use almost every weekend. Cleaning the kettle has gotten easier and the best method I have found is to take to the kitchen sink, add a bit of hot water, then while holding the lids closed, swirl the water around for thirty seconds and then empty. That gets the majority of the residuals left behind. I do that about every third pop. I have been wanting a popcorn machine for quite sometime now and what has been holding me back is all the models I have seen in the stores are usually very small and look like toys. You won't find that with this popcorn machine. It's what I would call "home theater" sized. It is not as large as the type at the cinema but, it is large enough to make popcorn for a party or movie night. The door to my popper arrived damaged and cracked. I contacted Great Northern and within a day they had fed-ex'd me an upgrade replacement door made of tempered glass instead of plexiglass. With that in mind, I would say they have excellent customer service. So does this thing make a good, theater style popcorn? Yer darn tootin' it does! From start to finish, I had movie style popcorn in less than five minutes. Not only did it look like the real thing, It is fresher tasting then what can be had in the theaters. Without a doubt this was the finest popcorn I have tasted. It was crisp yet fluffy enough to melt in your mouth. It beats microwave popcorn, stir crazy popcorn, hot air popcorn and stove top popcorn hands down. Okay, so what are the drawbacks? Well, the first time i cleaned it, it took forever. It doesn't really clean quite as easily as some proclaim. It's not difficult but, it is a tad time consuming. Putting a cup of water in the kettle and letting boil was a big help. With some practice and some thinking, clean up has improved but, to me it is still the biggest drawback of having one of these. I found a lot of kernels in the reject tray. I suspect though that I am getting an excessive amount because I am using a smaller package of Great Northern than what the kettle holds. I am only using the 6oz size and the kettle will do 8. I believe the smaller amount causes more kernels to shoot out when the lid opens to throw popcorn out of the kettle. ... show more

  • Great Popcorn Maker
Great popcorn machine - very well made. Kettle heats up really quickly, so I put in the popcorn kernels soon after pouring in the coconut oil. This size pops one cup of kernels at a time. Cleanup is easy - I wipe inside the machine and kettle with a lightly damp paper towel.

  • Works perfectly and good popcorn!
I was able to put this together in a few minutes. There were no damaged parts. The only minor issue is the far side hook is difficult to put the bucket in. I have to slightly bend it outward. But once it was put together, it was great! A few minor issues. 1) The first time using it, I did wash everything, but there was black residue on the first 3 batches of popcorn. I recommend popping a few batches and throwing them away. 2) The bottom plate has 2 screws holding it down, but the back of the plate was under the track for it, causing the kernels to get stuck. Check to make sure the tray is in the right spot. 3) The tracks for the sliding tray were bent somehow. I had to bend them a bit to make it slide in easily. After all that, it's been super nice! I use store brand popcorn and canola oil as indicated in the directions. ... show more

  • Always wanted one
I have always wanted a theater popcorn popper. I love the smell in the house and the taste. It came well packaged and in good order. I use it on a weekly basis, especially when my daughter comes to visit with her husband. It is easy to use and clean. I wanted to buy the 8 ounce because it's just a little over 2 bags of microwave popcorn. I use the buttery oil and theater salt. It is still easy to clean if I leave it a couple of weeks. One thing bothered me at first, it pops quite a few Kernels out unpopped. I put a magnet on each of the lids for weight and there is a bit less unpopped kernels. Still love it and the bottom warmer with the light warmer. Keeps popcorn good till gone. It's good for home use, may be a bit small if you need more volume. I'ld say it handles 12-18 people in 15 minutes or so of popping, could do more with more time. It will pop a batch starting cold in about five minutes, quicker for next batch. I didn't get the cart, I already had a place for it. Hope this helps. ... show more

  • Great machine for home use!!
Got this for Christmas for the family after doing a TON of online research. It worked great and looks great. Shipping was fast and no damage to the box or machine at all. I have no complaints as of yet. We popped our first two batches yesterday and everything went perfect plus the family loved the taste of the popcorn. Out of excitement, I popped too much popcorn but the heating deck and lamp kept it warm the entire time. Cleaning is not really that bad but obviously takes more effort than throwing away an empty microwave popcorn bag.....but it's worth it to get great popcorn for our family movie nights! I used the "8 oz All-N-One Premium Tri-Pack" popcorn from Great Northern Popcorn company. January 14, 2012 update: Noticed a small crack in the door near the hinge. I emailed a photo to the company and asked if it was covered under the warranty. They replied the SAME DAY and will be sending out a new door, free of charge, tomorrow! Great service! ... show more
