I have been using this machine almost daily for three years. My goal has been to achieve the quintessential movie theater popcorn taste. This machine is brilliant. It does exactly what it should and I have never had any trouble with it. There are a few tricks to get the right result, which I describe below. I am so hooked on real genuine movie theater butter popcorn, I couldn't live without this machine. If you follow these directions, you will have it. You will need kernels, coconut oil, and Flavacol seasoning. I have found that white kernels are the best. There doesn't seem to be any difference in the taste, but the yellow comes out more chewy and tough. The white pops more light and tender. The coconut oil can be white or yellow. Every brand and color I have tried tastes the same. If you use non-coconut oil, your popcorn will taste okay but not the same as the theater. Flavacol is key. You can get close without it, but your popcorn will always be a little off. If you add the right amount of Flavacol to the batch, you will not need salt at all. I get all these ingredients from Amazon. The machine seems to have a brief break-in period. Out of the box, the kettle heated too hot and always smoked and scorched a little. After about two weeks of frequent use, the kettle temperature stopped being quite so hot, but operates at the perfect temperature. I didn't change anything. 1. Turn on all three switches and add 1/3 cup oil and just three kernels of corn to the kettle. Wait for the kettle to heat up (takes one to two minutes). 2. While waiting for the kettle to heat, measure out one cup of kernels. Add one teaspoon of Flavacol directly to the cup of kernels. 3. When the kernels in the kettle start to pop, immediately add the cup of kernels with the Flavacol to the kettle and close the lid and the glass door. 4. When the popping reaches its peak and you notice it slowing down, turn off the kettle heat switch, but leave the other two on. Let it continue to pop. 5. When the popping slows to less than one pop per second, dump the kettle out. While it's turned upside down, give the stirrer a spin with your fingers to knock out any stuck pieces of corn. Return the kettle to upright and turn off the stirrer switch. That's it, it's ready to eat. Keep the heat lamp on to keep the popcorn warm until you empty it out. - For more salty popcorn, use a slightly heaping teaspoon of Flavacol in step 2. - For a smaller batch, the procedure is exactly the same, but use exactly half the ingredient portions I listed above. I host a lot of guests in my home theater and the popcorn I make is famous among my friends. I absolutely love this machine. If I ever had a problem with it, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

READ BEFORE BUYING ‼️ The machine is absolutely fantastic! It is extremely easy to use, works super fast, and makes the absolute best popcorn on the planet. Cons are the instructions to make popcorn are awful lol but don’t worry, SCREENSHOT THIS FOR EXACT measurements and instructions and throw theirs out of the window. First : you NEED Golden barrel butter flavored coconut oil and flavacol seasoning (this is what they use at the movies for color and taste) Measurements are : 1/3 cup of the oil 1/2 teaspoon of flavacol (slightly more or less depending on your personal taste) 2 scoops of kernels (they provide a small white scooper and that is the limit you can pop at one time) Instructions: don’t follow the instructions they say as it’s way too complicated, simply add all the contents to a COLD pot, turn on all 3 switches at once, then tip your pot when you start to hear 2-3 seconds in between pops and the kernels slow down popping. IMMEDIATELY turn off all switches except warming light, I sometimes cut the warming light on first so I can see better but make sure it’s only the warming light in the beginning and you add the contents to a cold pan. Let the popcorn rest for about 5-7 mins as it will be still a tiny bit moist and chewy when freshly popped then scoop into your bowl and enjoy. They have the measurements all wrong, the instructions will have you burning the oil and smoking your house out, or feeling overly rushed because it’s such a fast process. Disclaimer: even if you do it this way it will be a little bit of smoke, not bad though just make sure you aren’t in a tiny room with door closed. This machine and these perfected measurements made the best popcorn my wife and I ever had! If you can tell we love popcorn and perfecting things. I did much research on how to make the perfect movie theater popcorn and I tested maybe 5 batches to dial it in on this machine so trust me on this. Oh and be sure to look at the small groove on the hinges when installing the glass door, I almost broke it installing it wrong 😅. This popcorn machine was part of a surprise for the wife bringing her childhood dreams to life.

I kept my expectations Low with this purchase because, well, you know how things can go with these types of orders. I am pleasantly surpluses. It’s technically a Christmas present for my kids but my husband is a huge popcorn fiend as well and even he loved it! Very easy intructions, it came practically put together already. Very simply directions on how to use as well. I bought separately the pack of pre-portioned kernels, butter and seasoning which made it easy to know how much to use. The taste was great! We prefer a little more butter and seasoning so we’ll be jazzing it up on the side but still great! We had family over while testing it so it’s a great crowd pleasing “party trick” as well .

This is a good machine, it works very well and produces consistent popcorn. Machine arrived nicely packaged and damage free. Assembly was easy and took less than a minute. This was a upgrade from a 2.5oz machine we have had for several years. Wife and I quit smoking and wanted a low calorie snack to keep our hands busy and the smaller machine just wasn't up to the task. This machine makes a fairly large quantity at a time and the heat lamp keeps the popcorn fresh and crisp all day. I did read the reviews Pryor to ordering this machine and did see that many stated it has some sharp edges on the stamped steel parts inside. Now being a professional mechanic for over 30 years I don't have wimpy, soft normal hands for sure. However when I cleaned this machine I somehow managed to cut my finger on some part don't know for sure what one got me. Not a big deal little super glue and electrical tape fixed cut up as usual ( it's a mechanic thing) so to my point it does have sharp edges on the thin stamped metal parts. That's the only thing I could find fault with. I would have been willing to pay an extra few dollars if they would roll the edges over during manufacturing. At this price point this is an outstanding popcorn machine and if you like movie style popcorn I highly recommend this machine. Just be more cautious than I was when cleaning

As a former popcorn machine owner, I had an idea of what to expect with this purchase, but I must say that this product EXCEEDED my expectations! First, it is wonderful to look at (first impressions ARE important). It is obvious to see the quality used in materials and workmanship used to build it. It also adds value to the popper with the use of sturdy glass panes and door (only one door due to its small footprint). Second, it arrived earlier than expected, was not damaged in shipping, and worked perfectly right out of the box. Very little assembly was required too, which was nice. Third, throwing in the extra popcorn bags, boxes, scoops, measuring spoons (only needed if you don't buy the all-in-one packets), and a new heat lamp increases the value of this item. It is a smaller model, which was exactly what I wanted (it's sitting on the wet bar counter), and not at all gaudy, so it fits right in to the decor. The only thing I was slightly disappointed about was how tight it is inside the glass enclosure when using the scoop, but again it is a smaller unit, so I'll get over it. If you've never owned a popcorn machine, then consider this one as your first. For the price I paid along with the points raised here, it's a great value for money, and the company is a national institution among food vendors, so you can trust them to help you if you need it.

My wife is a massive popcorn fan, she has literally dragged me to the movie theater just to buy popcorn. Yes I’m being completely serious, so keep that in mind throughout this review. I did a tremendous amount of research knowing I was going to get her a popcorn maker for Christmas, and I settled with the Great Northern unit as well as their packaged popcorn. Setup was very easy and we were off and popping quick. There is a slight break in that takes a few batches to get through. Even then with the first few new batches the yields were really good. As she got better at using the machine the yields became hilarious. She can fill 3 1 gallon ziploc bags completely full with this bad boy and maybe have 5-10 unpopped kernels. Cleaning the machine is easy. I just use warm wet paper towels with a squirt of dawn dish soap and buff it all off with normal paper towels. Machine has held up well (writing this on 5-8-2024 and she received it for Christmas) and has been used very often. We couldn’t possibly be happier with this unit. Do your research and take time to learn the machine. Once you’re acclimated you literally get theater quality popcorn right at home. This is the one you want.

I was considering a popper for an upcoming party and was looking at smaller and cheaper ones. But they all seemed to lack nice features and I kept stepping further up. I am glad I did. This one is really well built and so much nicer than the cheapos. 8 oz is a great size for a small party, equating to 6 or so decent sized bags worth. The light keeps them warm AND it has a warming tray on the bottom, both controlled by the warming switch. The warming tray does get pretty hot at the back and works well, between it and the light. Obviously don't replace the light with an LED as you need the inefficiency to warm the popcorn. I had not seen any other model with such a warming tray. The stirring mechanism is definitely nice to avoid burning. I was very happy to find that this popper comes with several accessories. First is a really nice scoop. My wife bought a separate one as she didn't see that it came with. Its the type that funnels popcorn into a bag. It also comes with a bunch of paper decorative bags for your first few parties. It comes with hard plastic reusable popcorn "bags" for family usage. It has worked great... I followed instructions found in other reviews which is to use coconut oil, use flavacol, and turn on the stirrer as soon as you add the oil.

5/5 is a strong rating, but this one deserves it! Despite a (very) few reservations, I love it! I have had 4 different popcorn makers in the last 15 years and this one is by far and away the best. My 12 year old said, “This thing is legit!” First, let me get the negatives out of the way: 1) It isn’t the easiest popcorn maker to clean. You can’t exactly throw it it the dishwasher, and word has it that the pot lid will rust if you wash it. That being said, it is a minor inconvenience to clean by hand, but seems to do just fine with a good wipe down from clean dry rags and glass cleaned with a damp soapy rag. 2) It is a little on the large side. I don’t think this will fit under your average height cupboards if placed on the counter, so plan accordingly. We made the t more of a centerpiece in our den area and it works well due to the nostalgic look. 3) There are a few more unpopped kernels (waste) than my previous popcorn maker, but this thing makes so much popped corn, and gets rid of the kernels in the removable tray, that it isn’t a problem at all for me. NOW ON TO THE POSITIVES: 1) This machine looks great! It’s solid metal and glass parts exude quality, and the cheery colors make us feel like we are on the carnival midway! 2) Solid build! The item description says it’s meant for heavy/ commercial use, and I believe it. While I hear some competitors are made of plexiglass and thin wobbly metal or plastic, this machine is made of sturdy thicker gauge metal and real glass. It does not wiggle or give when moved or pushed on. Very solid! 3) MAKES GREAT POPCORN! This is one that really counts, right? I follow the suggestions online for 1/3 cup coconut oil, 1teaspoon Flavacol, and 1cup yellow popcorn. This produces a smell that reminds everyone of the movie theatre and a taste that lives up to the smell! Throw on some Kernel Seasons butter flavor and you cannot tell the difference between this and the theater, I swear! 4) Great for service. Whether you are having a home movie night, a neighborhood get together, or a church/community event, it is so nice to be able to serve yourself a scoop or two of fresh warm popcorn from a real popcorn machine with an opening door! Overall I am very happy with this purchase, and wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again. It’s sturdy, great looking, works great, and gives me no doubt that it will be making batches of fluffy delicious, theater-quality popcorn for years to come. Kudos to Great Northern for a great product!
