Title: Pops very quickly, tastes great
Review: So far and overall, this machine works very well and as I’d expect.It was very easy to assemble, took only about 10 minutes, plus 5-10 more taking my time to wipe everything clean. Everything comes mostly assembled, you just have to apply the kettle, the glass door, and the little kernel drawer at the bottom.It’s exciting to watching the popping process.We’re movie and popcorn lovers, and plan to host movie nights with friends and family. This machine will make providing popcorn for bigger groups more exciting and more efficient. I’ll update when we host our first movie party.It pops very well, and quickly! In my photo you can see quite a few kernels in the mix. I think it’s because I didn’t know that you should let the oil heat for about 3 min before adding kernels. I just dumped everything in once the oil melted.I got the Great Northern brand popcorn packs, it gives authentic movie theatre popcorn flavor in combination with the machine. I plan to experiment with my own recipes as well, including kettle corn (white sugar) and caramel popcorn (brown sugar).There are just a few features that could use a little bit more quality improvement. The glass door is a tad offset, but if you lift it up on the hinge a bit at a slight angle, it’s aligned. Also the little opener at the bottom opens easily but squeaks as you close it, and it tends to pop out of place easily which is just kind of annoying. However, these aren’t dealbreakers for me, and it’s a beautiful appliance.I chose the black and silver since I have black accents in my farmhouse kitchen and stainless steel appliances. It matches very well! It also fits on my Amazon Basics narrow shelving perfectly.

Title: LOVE IT!
Review: The Great Northern Movie Theater 8-ounce Popcorn Machine I recently purchased, was a fantastic buy. As a popcorn enthusiast, the machine itself is nostalgic looking with its deep red top and gold embellishments. It arrived perfectly and the directions provided were easy to follow and set up was completed in less than 20 minutes. Included in the price, was a popcorn scoop, bags, measuring cup and light bulb. The measuring cup is not something I needed due to my additional purchase of the Great Northern pre-portioned 8-ounce bags of salt/butter/popcorn. These ready to use packets take the guess work out of measuring and deliver perfectly seasoned snack. The large capacity stainless-steel drum turned and baked the kernels evenly. This ensured that the popcorn popped up fresh, buttery and salty. With previous popcorn machines, such as an air popper, I was always left with many kernels that were not popped and occasionally burnt. The Great Northern Movie Theater Popcorn Machine, is built with quality in mind. The sides of the machine are 100% tempered glass instead of the inexpensive plastic that often scratch while cleaning and yellow over time. There are three buttons that you are provided. The first is for the lamp which acts as a heating element to keep your freshly popped popcorn warm after the popping is completed. The second activates the stirrer that keeps the kernels moving in the buttery oil and keeps it from burning. The final button is the heater. This heats up the cooking pan. The directions are simple to read, easy to understand and a snap to follow. It is not a secret around my house when I start making popcorn. The entire house fills with the smell of fresh baked popcorn and everyone lines up with a bag to be filled. At first, I thought that 8 ounces of popcorn is not nearly enough to feed a medium sized family, but it really does pop up full and provides plenty of popcorn for all of us. Clean up is also very easy. The manufacture does not advise submersing the unit in water, therefore, a water bottle with plain water and a few dry paper towels is all you need to clean up. You can just simply lightly spray the inside of the machine and wipe it clean and dry. The bottom of the popper has a small area of holes which allows for any remaining pieces to be easily deposited into the bottom catch drawer. This catch drawer pulls out and any crumbs can be deposited in the trash. Turning the light off and closing the front door completes clean up and the machine is ready for the next time. If you are looking for a popcorn machine that delivers in appearance, exceptional product for the affordable price of $133.00...your search has ended.

Title: I would give it 4.5 stars, but joy compelles 5.
Review: 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!

Review: Someone said to start with the little screws for the bottom panel and that person was right. So frustrating not to have any instructions. My popper from the same cie fit perfectly

Review: Surprised my kids with this machine for our family movie night. They loved it, and I loved it even more. It made amazing popcorn. The fact that the machine is not made of plastic is a huge plus. We already can't wait to use it again..EDIT. Be extremely careful when cleaning, there are a few places that the metal is very Sharpe.

Review: This popcorn machine is very nice. Some buyers mentioned the door has a gap, that's true and is a design oversight. I had to move the magnet further back for the door to close properly by unscrewing the magnet on one side. The kettle takes getting used to (removing and installing it) it doesn't go in and out very easily - in part because the kettle has to be installed sideways instead of frontal installation like larger machine for this type of kettle.Make no mistake this machine pops popcorn very well providing instructions are followed and good quality popcorn is used.Cleaning is a breeze because of the high grade material used for the glass and the large kettle size makes it easy to clean the inside. I had a 2.5oz machine and 'glass' was made of plastic and was impossible to clean.I do recommend this machine. The look is very nice, professional and I'm happy with it, price paid 201$ CAD.
