Movie Night Countertop Popcorn Machine - 3 Gallon Popper - 8oz Kettle, Old Maids Drawer, Warming Tray, Scoop by Superior Popcorn Company (Red)

Awesome product, great quality,have easily put over 100 bags through it. A+++

This popcorn machine is exactly what I was looking for to support my family’s love of popcorn! It was easy to assemble, worked as promised and gives a genuine movie theater/carnival vibe to our special occasions. It can handle 2 full 8oz loads of popcorn at a time. The heat lamp does a good job keeping kernels warm.

I had originally ordered a different one which was delayed and I needed it by Halloween to pass out popcorn. This one arrived early and worked perfectly. It keeps the popcorn warm and is easy to use and set up. Came with bags scooper, and everything that you need to get going. Was so easy to use that even the kids started popping popcorn for me. The only negative thing I have to say is if you don’t clean it immediately afterwards, parts of it can start to rust.

We ordered this to add to our theater room. It is the perfect size, makes great popcorn and is perfectly priced compared to some other products. Easy to use and clean.

Compact size makes it easy to move around and store but is a little hinderance when cleaning. You will have some unpopped kernels which I believe is due to the shallow kettle, commercial kettles of the same capacity are much deeper, another compromise for size. HINT: Don't mess with less than full 8oz batch as efficiency seems to diminish - not sure why. Have read other reviews about smoking, don't have a clue, also about magnetic latch misalignment which I concur, it does have some adjustment but I also shimmed the magnet down for better alignment. FORMULA: ( I have had great success using this recipe ) 2 1/2 oz. popping oil, I use Orville Redenbacher's or Kernel Season's, 8oz pop corn, generic Meijers, Krogers, IGA yellow or white and 1 teaspoon Flavacol seasoning. Oil first and like stovetop directions put a few kernels in the oil and heat. When a kernel pops it's time to dump in the corn and seasoning together, this coats the popped kernels evenly with no need to add anything after popping. Also stay close and LISTEN FOR POPPING TO SLOW DOWN and dump the kettle, don't wait for it to stop or you will have burnt corn. Overall we love this machine and the flavor is far superior to microwave. My overall impression is that compared to commercial machines that can run thousands of dollars you can't beat it for the money. I recommend this product.

I love my new popcorn popper. It is big enough to make the amount of popcorn that I want. I have used it several times in the last two weeks. It is easy to use, makes great popcorn. I am going to get a different scoop because I want one that has holes in it. I know the popcorn machine has holes in the floor and that works great, I just want one for when there is a lot of popcorn in the popcorn popper!!!

The popcorn maker works perfectly. Was a nice addition to our bar

With respect to the features listed in this review: Easy to clean: seed tray sticks front door falls out easily. Easy to use: somewhat, though kind of tight spacing trying to get all ingredients in the kettle Flavor: "Meh" at first, but switched to olive oil and much improved. Construction seemed OK, not great but not shoddy. Heating "bulb" went out after only a couple uses, which is unfortunate after paying ~$200. Seems like a very visible and easy part to make a little more solid and reliable.
