Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Machine – Professional Cart With 2.5 Oz Kettle Makes Up to 10 Cups – Vintage Popcorn Machine Movie Theater Style – Black

No Scoop, Pain to Clean and make 2nd batch. 1st off the Machine did not come with the scoop as stated on amazon. Others have stated you can contact the company and get replacement. The Machine is mostly plastic and does not seem sturdy at all. The power cord is a bit to short. The cord does not even reach on bottom of the stand. Thus meaning you need extension cord or machine has to be right next to power outlet to power it. I tough the machine being small would be good thing, less of a foot print. However it make cleaning it a pain. There is no pan underneath catch un-popped seeds thus you have to vacuumed out the remains grease bits for cleaning and that is not good for a vacuum. Wiping out the Plastic inside is a huge hassle because of it’s size. There is no room to easily get a sponge and you hand between the arms that hold Cooking Bowl. You are likely to end up with a cut if you don’t do it carefully and make it take more time then it should. You have to damp Cloth Rinse the inner part of the machine, then dry it. Which is a pain because it is so small for the same reason. The Cooking bowl is easy to remove, but also hard to clean. You can not get your hand in it really give it a good Cleaning. The manual warns of building of oil and causing burning orders if it is not well cleaned. But that is really hard to do. Also rinsing the bowl and wetting it make me worry about corrosion with the metal screws and other part that are not stainless steal at the top of the bowl. Also due to the size after making the 1st batch of popcorn you will likely burn your self. The Bowl take up a large about of space in the service box. Meaning there is a not a lot of space for your hand for when you go to life the lid and add oil or seed for a 2nd batch. The Manual suggest using coconut oil for the machine, but Coconut is a semi solid at room temperature. Meaning you have to scrap it out the measuring spoon to get the oil out. This will lead to burnt hand. You have to let the bowl cool off before making a 2nd batch. The Bowl/Kettle is made out of a very think stainless steel, which is a good thing, but it makes it take a long time to cool off. Meaning there will be long periods in-between making batches. Also that means you have to keep an eye on children and toddlers around the machine. They can easily reach the hot pot due to the machines size. The reason I got the machine was so I could make some popcorn for my friends and their kids when they come over for a game night, but it is to much of risk around their kids and it does not even make enough, to give everyone some. I would send this machine back for a refund, but the box was destroyed from it being water logged, the cardboard was basically mush. The machine was incased on thing foam so chance of damage from shipping seem like slim. I am going to contact the manufacture to see if they can send me a replacement box instead of a scoop. I only recommend buying this machine a decoration and not actual use.

Directions aren’t that good. The machine itself works perfect. You will get good quality popcorn. I personally think microwave popcorn is junk. Just a reminder. There is a black cord on the inside that is attached to the kettle holder, that cord plugs underneath the kettle into the black disk that protrudes underneath and that cooks the popcorn. This machine pops the corn very quickly and keep the finished product warm. I do recommend this device I just hope it lasts awhile.

The popper is very small. Super cute! However way smaller then I thought… For one serving you’ll need to pop at least twice. I bought it for a party and spent the night slaving over popcorn. Also make sure you don’t try and overfill your machine because it will be too much for the kettle and the gear will not be able to turn the popcorn. For the price I would recommend just paying an additional $20 and getting a bigger capacity one.

This product is ridiculous. I purchased this for my daughter who has wanted a popcorn cart for years. I was so excited to give it to her for her birthday. It took over an hour to put together because the instructions were so blurred you could not make out the pictures that went with the directions. The printed directions referred to part labels, but none of the parts were labeled. It was so difficult to put together. You are pretty much on your own to figure it out. When we did finally manage to get it assembled it did not square up, it lilted to the right and was so top heavy you had to worry that it would fall over during the actual popping. The parts of the machine are so cheaply made. You can barely get your hand in to the metal oil container where you put the kernels to pop. So, since you cannot submerge in water, you cannot get it cleaned easily and thoroughly at all. We were going to try it out this afternoon even with all of our frustrations with the actual put together product. I took it by the cart handle and lifted the legs about an inch off of the floor so that I could roll it over to the tiled floor in the kitchen. The top almost fell right off. The legs of the top container came out of the holes in the base and we had to fight with it once again to get it back together. I do not usually write reviews for products, but with this item and the amount of money I paid for this product, I felt I would be remiss if I didn’t not share my findings. I am so sorry to say, but I would definitely not recommend this popcorn cart to anyone.

Great machine and popcorn comes out tasting perfect. Love this Popcorn maker, its perfect for a home movie night, so easy to make popcorn just had to pour oil, salt and popcorn all together inside the maker and thats it! so much popcorn comes out in just 5 minutes. You can adjust the taste based on what you like. It came with measuring cup/spoon
