Title: Amazing for the price.
Review: I purchased the Great Northern Popcorn 8 oz foundation vintage style popcorn machine and Cart for my home theater. Assembly was simple, easy and straight forward. The stirring motor is very quiet and it looks very well made. The kettle has a notch at bottom of the stirrer that should knock the lids closed should they open fully during the popping cycle. The notch isn't long enough and only scrapes one of the lids but not enough for it to close.The popcorn scoop that I received isn't correct for this machine. I measured the scoop by pouring the popcorn into a measuring cup. The scoop that came with this popper is 1/2 cup. The machine takes 1 CUP kernels as instructed on the door. The book says to only use 1 scoop. When you get this amazing machine, measure the accompanying scoop and spoons by putting popcorn or water in them and pour the contents into known measures. None them are labeled. Cleanup is easy with this unit, it's large enough to get my hands into without much of a problem.I had a smaller unit that wasted a lot of corn, many old maids when it was finished. This unit is very efficient, I had very little compared to the smaller unit.Another plus, maintenance isn't bad either. Replacement kettles are $50 or less.I was pleased the Popcorn scoop for finished popcorn was large and easy to use. Until I get use to it, it seems a little big for this unit.Except for the minor details above, this is well worth the money. If the scoop was 1 cup and the auto-close worked on the stirrer, I'd have to say this should be a professional machine. It deserves 5 stars for the price and quality of workmanship.

Title: Gorgeous and good deal!!!
Review: *Only had this for a few days so this review is for the overall purchase and product thus far. I LOVE that I could get this in blue. VERY PRETTY AND DIFFERENT FROM WHAT PEOPLE ARE USED TO SEEING. I purchased for use at my medical clinic for special occasions and events, etc. We aren't a large office so an expensive commercial grade machine was not necessary. I decided to go ahead and get exactly what I wanted and pay the extra for the matching cart & popper set. Awesome!! Delivered free, fast, and not damaged. Assembly was easy all except getting the pot in place. It's just awkward because you can only work from one side but no biggie it went in after some maneuvering and was snug and stable. The first batch was easy as pie, just follow directions and use common sense. I found the second batch MUCH BETTER I suppose because the oil distributed better and the popcorn was a gorgeous buttery color through and through. First batch was great but I think that "seasoned the pot" in a way and they just got better after that. I used the all in one packets but to be perfectly honest, it will be easier to use popcorn from a jar or container & scoop it right into pot with a scoop or measuring cup. Same with oil and salt! Oil in packets is messy, I removed it and added it with a small ice cream scooper.. This worked perfectly as you don't have to keep scraping a spoon or squeezing that packet. Add about 2 scant teaspoons of yellow popcorn salt along with the oil!! Very easy to use, have a mitt or cloth beside you it gets HOT but that's a good thing! It looks very professional and sturdy, be careful as with anything it's not tornado proof. Overall this is a fabulous machine for anything short of a HUGE event or gathering!! Cleanup is Cleanup. Do it at the end of each day you use it, after it cools, and you'll make it stay beautiful for a long time. It's oil, salt and corn, it's gonna make a mess. Clean it well and treat it with respect and you'll love it !!!

Title: Great popcorn maker!
Review: My family loves this popcorn maker. We're a family of seven. On movie nights I make two one-cup batches right away - and it lasts the night. The warmer light seems to keep the popcorn warm and extra crisp while it's waiting for the older kids to quickly devour their bowls and claim seconds. It does a fantastic job popping nearly all of the kernels.I notice that the instructions for how much oil to use varies from the instruction booklet to that printed on the glass door of the machine. I've found 1 TBS : 1/2 Cup oil to kernels is a good ratio. We use coconut oil and table salt (1/2 tsp) directly into the pot. Once I dump the first popped batch into the cabinet, I put the next batch in. It takes only a few minutes each pop, once you've appropriately warmed it up. Just beware that you may be going through a lot of popcorn and a lot of oil.We have the 8oz capacity, and I do find that it is an awkward squeeze to get the oil into the pot. There is not a lot of room to manipulate inside that little door. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, so that is some of the issue, but even with the company's own popcorn/oil packets, it's difficult to get more than one hand in there to squeeze it out.It looks really neat, and is durable enough to have survived my two-year-old's exploration of it. Ours has a bum top left hinge, so our door hangs a little droopy and doesn't engage the magnet meant to keep it shut, but we have no trouble with the door staying closed nonetheless. The relative footprint of the maker with the stand is pretty small, so it easily fits into a corner or against a wall when not in use.What I don't care for - it came with three really fun looking popcorn buckets - tall, skinny, vintage looking plastic bins. The kids were eager to use them. On the very first use (we rinsed them first in the sink with warm water) the red ink on the sides became tacky and smeary. Maybe the ink dissolves in the remnant oil on fingers? It got on the kids' hands and their clothes. I'm hoping they didn't ingest too much of it before we caught it. I'm not sure where Great Popcorn Company shopped out these buckets, but it was the lone disappointing feature. It was meant to be a bonus I'm sure, but my advice to GPC is to either discontinue including these bins with their product or cut ties with the manufacturer.Overall it's a great product. It was a gift from Santa this year, and really the hallmark of our holiday.

Review: Pay attention to how you attached the sides when building the box that the popper mounts on or else the popper won’t be able to anchor in and secure to the box. If that happens you will have to take it apart and switch the sides of the box so the popper can be anchored in. My only complaint is I don’t know why they just wouldn’t build the mount in holes universal. That way it wouldn’t matter which side goes where.

Review: Amazing kernels popper! This popper is awesome and clients enjoy see the kernels popped. Diffuses a great buttery smell all around the shop. Retro look is totally attractive. Easy to use. We use standard popcorn kernels with colored coconut oil. Results are amazing!Easy to clean with hot water and vinegar (1 part of vinegar in 4 parts of hot water). We clean it on each 2 days.Only negative point: needs 2-3 batch of popcorn to be popped so the glass cube looks filled.

Review: I had a different popcorn maker that was sold with my last home. I order this one because it had good reviews. It is at least a third smaller than the last one and cost more money. Would not buy this brand again.
