This is a fantastic popcorn machine. We have used it several times for movie nights, birthday parties, etc. The machine is easy to clean IF you get it done soon after you make popcorn. Longer you wait, the harder to clean. Great for popcorn lovers

We bought this as part of a going away gift for one of the people that work for our company who is popcorn obsessed. The recipient loved it and later told me that it works great and that he uses it all of the time. For the popcorn lover in your life, this is a decently priced unique gift!

Excelente compra, se puede hacer palomas calidad cine, fácil y rápido, me falta comprar el carrito

Cumplió todas mis expectativas, tamaño, accesorios, tiempo de cocción y lo fácil que es de limpiar

It’s a great little unit! The metal is a touch flimsy but it’s a home machine and not commercial!!! We love it!!! I clean it every few pops and have nothing bad to say! Easy clean and yummy!!

Purchase this popcorn popper about three weeks ago. I've read reviews here and from other sources. If there were three or less stars, those were the ones I read, just to get a feel of the downside of this product because, there were so many 4/5 stars.I am a retired Tool and Die Maker of 35 years, and if there were any inferior flaws, I would've found them. The popper was pretty secure in the packaging. Removing the packaging inside the unit was challenging. Simply take your time. Nothing was loose or broke. There are instructions on the glass door for making popcorn but the prepackaged popcorn with seasoning by Northern is different.I followed the directions on the door for the other two popcorn listed below with no problem.First of all, the popper arrived at my door about 5-days after I ordered it. That indeed was a plus. I read all the instructions 3 times before I popped the first corn. As like many others, I ordered the 4 oz. portion pack (pack of 24). Also, to make it fair, I purchased Jolly Time and Orville Redenbacher popcorn.Great Northern Popcorn 6100 8 ounce was exactly what I was looking for in a popper. Sturdy construction, lighter than I anticipated and the glass door was a surprise. So many poppers come with plexi-glass doors. But not this one. The Great Northern prepackage popcorn was easy to use by simply cutting the top off and squeeze the contents into the kettle. (As per instructions, of course) Popcorn had the color of movie corn, scent of butter and seasoning. Taste was great but a little too salty for my taste, since I rarely use salt on food. Cleanup in the popper was a bit taxing but doable. I completely removed the kettle and wiped it clean using a drop of Dawn in a bowl of water. Wiped the interior of the popper also. Appeared to be a bit messy from oil/flavoring coating the inside of the glass walls but again, no problem cleaning. Wiping everything so it could remain spotless is no issue with me.With the Jolly Time and Orville Redenbacher popcorn, I purchased some Organic Refined Coconut Oil (non-hydrogenated). Did some research on this also. There is no coconut smell or taste. I tablespoon is all I used and half-cup of popcorn. Between these two, Redenbacher did taste better with a tad bit of flavor. I tried both without Sea Salt and with Sea Salt. My Great Northern popped most of the corn with about a dozen "old maids" (unpopped corn) left behind. But still, the amount of popcorn I received was enough to fill 2 1/2 bags of popcorn. (Some paper bags came with the popper). I must add that the popcorn was a little tough the first time I used it but chalked it up to heating the kettle too long before putting in the corn and oil. 6 minutes, too long; 4-5 minutes just about right. No matter which product was used, the popcorn always came out huge and fluffy.I've inspected a couple of poppers from other schools in our district and even though they look similar to mine, they were not of good quality. I did suggest to my supervisor to invest in the Great Northern 6100 8 ounce. She agreed.Overall, I am more than happy with this product. Scoop, measuring cups, three plastic containers for popcorn and about 24 paper bags cameshipped with it. The prepackage popcorn mixture arrived 3 days before the popper.

Great popcorn machine in terms of the quantity of popcorn it can make. 3 scoops will be enough for a family of 4 movie night. The quality of popcirn is good similar to the one in the moviesStill not as industrual as a one in the movies but served the purpose for a family. Is relative small so fits on top of a small beverage fridge. I had a previous smaller version of a popcorn maker that i bough under $100 and was more like a decoration beacuse they only do a handfull at the time so takes foreever. this one Great North self purpose with 3 scoops you have enough for 4I love it and worth the priceWorks good with ordeville popcorn, pops almost all corns. Valley farm popcirn doesnt pop with this model

Ok, this was the bomb. We got this for our daughter's wedding reception, and it was such a hit. Hot, fresh, buttery popcorn to snack on while last minute details were being taken care of? Ohhhh yeah. And then another batch a while after dinner, to carry out with a beverage and hang around the fire pit? You betcha! It was SO great.A couple things: This COMES WITH a SCOOPER for the finished popcorn, so don't buy the "suggested" one. We did, spent the 20 bucks and didn't even need it! Also, the DOOR: a ton of people are blah blahing about the door being plexi-glass and breaking, etc. As of 5/20/2015, if you buy this exact model, the door is glass. And if you use common sense, you won't break the door. Don't over tighten the screws, don't slam the door, don't put ice cold water on an extremely hot door.... you get the point. About CLEANING: So many people are complaining about it being hard to clean. It's so NOT hard to clean. Apparently, those who think it is, have not discovered that the metal "popper" part..... comes right out, may be cleaned, and then pop it right back in. (Pop. Haha. Get it?) Obviously, DO NOT put it down IN the water, just as it says. But carefully UNPLUGGING IT and taking it out for cleaning makes cleaning the popper AND the glass case SO much easier. We just scoop out all remaining popped corn, toss it, (or feed it to the ducks, squirrels, etc.), then push remaining kernels around so they fall thru the bottom metal grid into the metal pullout drawer/tray below. Remove pullout drawer/tray, as well as the metal fold down "shield" piece in the front (push each side in slightly to get it out), and the metal bottom grid. All three just pull right out, and can be submersed in hot soapy water if you like and, of course, dried thoroughly. Wipe down the inside of the glass case with something very mild, but think about what you're using in there. You DON'T want your popcorn tasting like your cleaning product. (I like hot water with a teeny bit of dish detergent in it, followed by another wipe of plain hot water.) Be very gentle around the light bulb. When everything is nice and dry, you simply put the metal popper back in exactly the way it came out, put the drawer/tray back in, place the metal grid in the bottom, and place the shield in front below the glass door. You're ready to go for next time! All of this takes no more than 8 to 10 minutes. The final thing is the TASTE of the popcorn itself: The popcorn packets they have listed on here are "ok", but they're missing.... something. The popped corn is a little ...well... maybe "tough".... is the word I'm looking for.... and it just doesn't quite have that movie theater taste, even though it smells like it does. Don't get me wrong. It's 500 times better than microwave popcorn, but I feel like it could be "better". That being said, I think maybe we'll try doing what many others are suggesting. It has something to do with coconut oil I think. Read their "recipes", and let's all get this party started!
