The media could not be loaded. This popcorn machine has its pros and cons. First, I must say that I was worried about the build quality as I read many reviews that stated that the machine cracks easily or was received cracked. Thankfully mine arrived packaged well and in great shape! It is plastic, so I can see how it could possibly crack, but so far this has not been an issue. If it does crack in the future I will update my review. Now for the pros and cons:Pros:- The machine is compact and doesn’t take up a lot of space. It can easily be kept on a kitchen counter which is nice.- It comes with a plastic tray to catch the popcorn which makes removing the popcorn very easy and helps to keep the machine clean which I really like.-The kettle is stainless steel and is not coated with teflon that can scrape off over time from the stirring mechanism like many of the other similar machines that I researched which can be unsafe to use.-Comes in 4 fun colors to choose from! (Black, Red, Pink, & Blue)-Although the “warming light” really doesn’t warm the popcorn, I do like that it has a light that lights up the machine. Many other similar size machines do not come with lights at all.-This machine has the handle to empty the kettle on the outside of the machine which I really like, and helps to eliminate burning yourself vs. many others where the handle is on the inside.-Makes great tasting popcorn that you just cannot get from microwave or air popped popcorn.Cons:-While the plastic housing of the machine is simple enough to clean with a damp cloth or paper towel the kettle itself does not come apart and it is a little tricky to clean. Especially because you have to take great care not to submerge it in water.-Removing and installing the kettle can be a little tricky to do. It has to be lined up just right and while it is doable. I feel it could be a little easier than it is.-I’ve noticed a few unpopped kernels that fly out while popping. Not a huge deal, I think some can be expected with these types of kettle poppers. Overall most of the popcorn does pop though.-This machine is small and only makes enough popcorn for one or two people. For me it’s fine since I’m the only one in my household that eats it, but not so ideal for more than two people.-While not a deal breaker, the machine did not come with the popcorn bags as advertised.Overall I do like the aesthetics of the popcorn machine, it looks great in my movie room! I do wish the kettle were easier to clean though. But with that said, the machine makes great popcorn and I am for the most part happy with it.I bought this machine along with everything needed to make authentic movie theater popcorn and it turned out really good!2 tbsps. of Butter Flavored Coconut popping oil.1/2 teaspoon Of Flavacol Popcorn Salt1/3 cup of Popcorn KernelsWhen finished I top it off with the buttery popcorn topping to taste.All can be purchased from Amazon! (See my photo posted for specifics.)Taste just like the theaters! (or better)Give it a try!

Great product! My granddaughter loves popcorn and will enjoy this. It came with everything but the popcorn bags which is a bummer. That’s why 4 stars instead of 5

It wasn't too hard to put together, although there seemed to be mistakes in the directions. Once it's put together is easy to use. I think warming the oil up, for 1-2 minutes before adding popcorn is advisable if using coconut oil. It's great to make popcorn for watching movies at home. Clean-up is not difficult but could be made easier. The pan that holds the popcorn and oil is a little difficult to get to for cleanup, although it is removable. All in all, a blast to have!

This little popcorn machine is awesome! It has a cool retro look that adds a fun vibe to movie nights, and it works way better than I expected for the size. It’s super easy to use—just add the kernels, a little oil, and in a few minutes you’ve got fresh, hot popcorn. The 2.5 oz size is perfect for a couple of people, and the popcorn tastes just like the kind you get at the theater. Cleanup is quick too, which is a big plus. It doesn’t take up much space and looks great sitting on the counter. Whether you’re hosting friends or just want a better popcorn experience at home, this machine is totally worth it!

The media could not be loaded. Fully functional. Easy to use.

After hemming and hawing over a handful of $150 units from this manufacturer and others, I settled on this unit mainly because of the price. The machine DOES make popcorn well if you follow the instructions and preheat it long enough (about 4 mins in my experience). It is a hassle to use if you do not have the pre-portioned popcorn/oil packs- as it is hard to get the oil in there in a convenient way without the packs.I was slightly disappointed when the right side clear plastic developed a crack almost immediately after one use near the kettle tilt handle, not sure if it was there when new and I just didn't notice it? It was packed pretty well-so I am not sure..at any rate- it's a small crack and does not affect the operation at all, just a bit of a bummer- i think the tilt handle should have been placed inside the unit- NOT through the side plastic window- it's a weak point in the design.It makes enough popcorn for 2 adults no problem, but we have had to make two batches a few times to cover two adults and two kids watching a movie. It is also not too bad to clean up if you clean it within 30 mins. of using (if you wait too much longer, the oil hardens too much and you have to "scrub" a bit. Clean it while it is WARM (but not too soon-you may burn your hand on the kettle), and it is an easy clean up for the most part.Overall for the price- it looks great in my movie room and it works as advertised and the quality of the housing was as I expected for the most part-and it makes popcorn as good as the larger more expensive machines, it just does not make as much popcorn obviously.
