Title: I am at the movie theatre!
Review: This west bend popcorn machine is great for movie night! Easy to assemble no instructions needed. It is best to use butter flavor coconut oil which I make myself coconut oil and imitation butter flavor. The smoke point is high on the coconut oil and it makes the popcorn super fluffy. Use a good kernel like Amish and a good popcorn salt my go to is flavacol. It comes out perfect everytime. You just put the oil and salt turn it on let it heat up then add the kernels and watch it pop away. It even has a lighted popcorn sign that gives it added movie theatre type flair. The machine and kettle are easy cleanup I would reccomend this machine to anyone looking to have that theatre experience at home on a budget.

Title: Great popcorn machine
Review: I had never used a popcorn machine personally but I have seen them used so I had a general idea of how they work. The directions to put it together were lacking. That is a fairly minor negative imo. Other than putting it together, it is very easy to start using. We use 2 large scoops of kernels, 2 tbsp of oil, and 1 tsp of seasoning salt. Popcorn comes out great as long as I spread out the oil and seasoning, if not only the kernels that it was poured on will be seasoned and it will be way too much. Pops fairly quickly, only like 3-4 mins at most to make a large amount. We used this 2 times before using it to make popcorn for a neighborhood movie night. Worked so well! Itâs fairly easy to clean thankfully because I was concerned about that. Overall very happy with this popcorn maker.

Title: love love love
Review: I love popcorn. I prefer movie theater popcorn so i make my own. This is the third popcorn popper that i have tried. The first one broke after a few months. The second one was trash because it was a bad design and no matter how hard I tried, the heating coils would get the popcorn oil on it. I have to say the other two were not West Bend models. They were, however, pretty big name brands.I have always wanted the popper that looks like the ones at the movie theaters but not so bulky.I am so glad I found this one. The price was right and the size is perfect.I do purchase the butter popping oil and the popcorn salt to make sure tis exactly like the popcorn you can get at the theaters.A few weeks ago I had some guest in from out of town and I fired up my West Bend popcorn maker and they were all excited and impressed. Needless to say they were all on Amazon ordering their own West Bend popcorn maker.It is easy to use and my favorite part is- easier to clean.It makes the perfect amount of popcorn so everyone can have some and none goes to waste,I highly recommend splurging on the good popcorn butter oil and good popcorn salt and a good brand of popcorn kernels. If you want that traditional movie theater experience then splurge a little on your popcorn seed and the oil.

Title: The BEST
Review: I bought this so we could use it for my kids birthday parties and sleepovers and this thing doesnât disappoint. Itâs perfect whether you just want a snack for one person or you make multiple batches for a large party. Itâs crazy easy, my 10 year old makes me popcorn alllll the time. I would be the spokesperson for this brand and machine ANY day or time.

Title: Design, Fast Popping, Plump Kernels, Many Options of Popcorn Taste
Review: I love that the popcorn from this popcorn popper tastes more like movie popcorn. The kernels seem to be more plump, much bigger and the popcorn butters seem to absorb more in the popcorn in this style. I found an older Pyrex square container that fits perfect in the bottom to catch the popcorn so it makes clean up less and easier to scoop popcorn out into a smaller bowl. It does take a little longer to clean it up as it is a bigger machine. The popcorn smells so good in the kitchen while it pops. I find myself popping more popcorn and leaving a bowl out on my counter as a healthy option of a snack. This is a much better improvement over the round bowl as far as taste and how fast it pops. The instruction booklet provided some great ideas of making different kinds of popcorn. My con in this is that the instruction booklet needs to do better with instructions on how to assemble the inside as I struggle figuring out how to attach the kernel bowl. The instruction booklet was not clear for me to understand. A video showing how to assemble would be even better. The price was competitive to other popcorn machines.

Review: It looks Great, and for the price is great value. I was excited to try it out, hereâs the drawback, it must have a 110/60Hz/480VA supply, so Iâll have to wait for Amazon to deliver it at an additional cost of £35. Maybe Iâll write an update when I can plug it in and test it thoroughly.Update, transformer arrived on Schedule, and set it up for a test run yesterday evening.I added two tbsp of Ghee (clarified butter) and 1/2tsp of Flavorcol, 1/4tsp of butter salt spice. And switched it on. It functioned as advertised and the POPCORN LED banner illuminated (looked great)After two or three minutes, continuous popping could be heard and was forcing its way out of the kettle into the cabinet. Once I heard a two, three second gap in popping I switched off the machine.I emptied the kettle as instructed and most popcorn fell into the cabinet. You will have to use the scoop to push out rest of the popcorn.Tried it and tasted as expected, you can add more flavouring at this stage to your personal liking. Mix well in the cabinet or a large serving bowl and enjoy. It made my evening.Proâs - didnât burn in the slightest, colour great, tasted great, nice crunch and un- popped kernels drop into a catch trap.â
