I use it just about every day.The Not So Good: The candy dispenser is fun and all but it's really not great at dispensing. Peanut M&Ms are almost impossible to get out. The cart build quality is cheap and the hardware provided doesn't make much sense. I understand it's a consumer grade machine and not meant for heavy duty use but as far as the cart goes it is extremely flimsy. The machine itself is OK though.Note: The first time I ran the kettle, the agitator arm inside scraped the bottom of the kettle and created a very loud screeching noise and a heavy amount of metal shavings. Once I added oil it stopped completely.Overall: I like it and most likely would buy it again, maybe in a larger size but I feel like it's priced about $70 too high.

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2024
Size: 8 OzColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Okay so first off the ones leaving bad reviews based on height should have looked at the measurements in the description first. Because it's EXACTLY AS IT SAYS. I am 5'5" and it comes up to the base of my neck. It was very easy to put together even though the instructions really aren't the best. It works great it's not the quickest thing in the world but you can still have your movie playing at the same time. My popcorn came out nice and crispy with the 8oz great northern bags (shown in the second photo is how much an 8oz bag fills the machine) . I was expecting the metal to be really flimsy based on other reviews but I don't feel that is the case either. And for those saying the door doesn't stay open you have to level the machine with the legs. And my popping bucket lid stays open. Overall I love it. If it breaks I'll come back and update so stay tuned

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Great Popcorn Fun
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024
Size: 8 OzColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I wanted to review this to give my experiences using this machine and to counter the voices suggesting this is hard to clean. Like others when I was first reviewing my options, one of the reoccurring comments that I kept reading, was fear of having to clean it after use. I can assure you it is easy and takes only 10-15 minutes to completely clean and sanitize.

This machine arrived on time and was easy to put together. I read reviews on what popcorn, oil, supplies to buy and settled on the following: I use the Great Northern 4oz All-in-one packs (popcorn, flavonoid salt and coconut oil) even though this is an 8oz Popcorn Machine - that is plenty of popcorn for 2-4 people. I also use the Snappy Butter Burst Popcorn butter / oil to drizzle on afterwards - it makes it just like theater popcorn! My pro-tip: I use half of the flavonoid salt in the GN All-in-one pack and it is perfect!

Follow the provided directions to make: The left button is a warming light and also warms the bottom. Turn on the right button to heat the kettle and start the turning arm, for only two minutes, then switch it off, while you add your oil and salt. When it has melted, add your popcorn. Then turn back on the right switch. It will take approximately 3 more minutes to pop. Once the popping has slowed down to the last kernels (about a few pops every few seconds) turn off right switch and dump the kettle’s remaining kernels. That’s it! The kettle gets very hot quickly, so extended use or leaving it on will burn the oil and or popcorn.

The cleaning is straightforward. I thoroughly clean the machine after 4-6 uses. Following each use, I will clean out the leftover popcorn and kernels and wipe the bottom of the machine with a water wet paper towel. When I clean out the entire thing (I have used several methods - found good idea from a guy on YouTube that steam cleans it). But ultimately, it is easy to just remove the kettle take it to the sink and clean it like any other pot. Then I use a vinegar and water mix 1/3 Vinegar and wash out the inside sides, top and bottom using paper towels. It works well and is quick and easy. I use windex on the outside only.

Good luck and don’t forget the Snappy Butter Burst - it makes the popcorn even better! Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth it
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
Size: 2.5 OzColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Ive been wanting a popcorn maker for awhile so I ended up choosing this one after some research. I also got it on sale which was awesome. It was pretty easy to set up & well the instructions weren’t so helpful but we figured it out. It was a bit small in height but that’s okay with me. It’s about the same height as my 6 year old.. it is fairly easy to clean and just letting the inside of the of the pot sit with warm water while I clean the inside of the of the popcorn machine (the pot is easily removable for easy cleaning). I also lay aluminum on the bottom of the popcorn machine to ensure that it’s an easier clean up. So far used it for 4 days straight and haven’t had any problems with it. Pops the perfect amount for myself I haven’t tried with multiple people.

I also bought the popcorn salt & butter flavored coconut from Amazon.

Combo 1: 1/2tsp of Popcorn Salt and 3tbsp of Butter Flavored Coconut Oil w/ 1 cup of kernels

Combo 2: 1/2tsp of Popcorn Salt & 3tbsp of Orville Popping & Topping Buttery Popcorn Oil w/ 1 cup of kernels

I preferred combo 2 it gave it the movie theater popcorn taste along with it being buttery. Combo 1 isn’t to bad but was struggling to find the buttery taste. Also the popcorn salt, a little goes a long way I believe the 1/2tsp is enough if you like it a bit more salty then maybe 1tsp.

The popcorn maker also come with the kernel measuring cup along with the butter measuring cup and popcorn scooper.

I had it set up in approximately 35-40 min. Popcorn popped up nice and fluffy and tasty! One thing I will say is the kettle gets really hot and cools slowly so keep kids hands away.
