We run a film festival and don't have a dedicated theatre for screenings, which means we bring everything with us -- screen, projector, sound equipment and concessions! We almost purchased a smaller tabletop popcorn machine because it was less expensive, but for a little more money, we definitely got a lot more in volume and quality. This is a top-notch machine that makes fresh popcorn quickly and helps set the mood for a great film screening experience. It is big though, so make sure to check the measurements. Perfect for our purposes!

The popcorn maker is quite large and does the job better than expected. The burner gets hot fast to cook the oil.The sticker placement is not so good. It’s almost like a lazy middle school kid put the stickers on. Some corners are folded in and even have the protective plastic from the sheet metal partially under some areas. This doesn’t change the operation of the machine and is completely cosmetic. Overall it’s not a big deal, but the quality control could have been better for sticker placement.

Bought this for my family. It's a sturdy machine, with large capacity 12 ounce popping kettle. Pops quickly and consistently. I've hauled it around to volunteer events and parties and it's always a hit. And a superior popper to those I've seen in local businesses and schools. Cleans easily, and popper is removable.The real trick is to find the balance of oil and flavored sale with your batches. The 12 ounce capacity holds 1.5 cups of popcorn and recommends 8 tablespoons of oil. I use 6 tablespoons and do a combo of canola oil, a little coconut oil and Orville Redenbacher butter flavored oil. Flavacol is the other secret to good tasting popcorn. I use it moderately, and it comes out just like theater popcorn. The warming tray keeps the popcorn warm and can be heated up for days after popping.The only drawback to this machine is its weight-it's pretty heavy. No issue if you have a permanent place for it, and with the weight comes durability. It's been a great investment, and with the price of snacks these days, it's a smart purchase.

We use this to make fresh popcorn for sale at the Little League Snack Shack. It replaces a unit of very similar design but sold under a different name. The kettle had burned out on the old unit. Although the old unit burned out after 5 years of use. It was actually used for just 3 years due to the COVID shutdown. The new unit has no design changes compared to the old other than a change in graphics. In fact, the new kettle fits onto the old unit and we now have the option of ordering a replacement kettle to give us a spare unit should we need to replace one at our other Snack Shack. We use the popcorn maker 2 or 3 times per week during the 5-month spring baseball season and for the 10 week fall baseball season (Sunday games).Some of the features we like are the glass panels used. Cleanup is easier than popcorn makers using plastic panels. Another feature is the ease is kettle removal for cleaning. The kettle hinges using 2 knobs on opposite sides of the kettle that hang from brackets at the top of the popcorn maker. Some other popcorn makers use a spindle and a spring cotter pin as the kettle hinge. The spring cotter pin is difficult to remove, clean, and reattach.One feature that could be improved is the loose fitting metal frame channels at the bottom of the side and rear glass panels. Popcorn debris needs to be cleaned out of the channels at end-of-the-day cleanings. We use wooden coffee stir sticks to dig out the popcorn debris.Overall, we are pleased with the new unit. The kettle heats up much faster than the old one and we are glad that quality materials were used.

My only dislike with this popcorn machine is that it cost $200 more in Canada than it does in the United States. The machine works well it Cooks a lot of popcorn and if you have the yellow coconut oil and Flavacol you will have movie theatre style popcorn

Worked fine the few times we ended up using it. Does get really hot so have to watch the kernels do not burn but made good popcorn. We purchased it for commercial use at small craft shows but never ended up taking it as it was too heavy to move about. Ended up selling it

Very nice machine. Served well over 500 people with popcorn during a 3 hour picnic. Tastes just like Theater popcorn, maybe better. Used the pre-measured popcorn pouches and was perfect every time.

7/30/18 UpdateI just wanted to update this as I have been using this for 2 years now and still very happy and still highly recommend. I broke one of the glass doors and the company replied to my email within a day and I was able to order a replacement for about $20. Great service when needed. This broken door was my own fault and nothing against the supplier.7/6/2016This machine is great. Very happy with it. I did a good amount of research on these machines. Happy with my choice. I only used it once so hoping to have this for personal use in a theatre room for a long time.The package arrived in good condition. I also have to say that the machine was VERY WELL packages from the factory for shipment. Attached is some photos. You need to install the doors (simple) then install the kettle (simple). They also provide four plastic covers for the top corners. Assembly took 1 minute.I washed out the inside of the machine and started heating it up and made my first batch. Kettle heats up quickly. I like the size of the kettle as other do not have as much surface area on the bottom to heat and pop the corn. The kettle also seems to be of good heavy construction.I was surprised to also get some "free" accessories like, scope, salt shaker measuring cupS and plastic popcorn boxes (3).I fee that this 12oz popper is a good overall size and pops a good amount of popcorn in a quick time.Recommend to buy.Final note is that the doors needed to be adjusted with a screw to get to close perfectly. So I did have to manually turn a screwdriver but for the price this was acceptable to me.
