Perfect Popper Popcorn Machine - 10oz Stainless-Steel Kettle, Reject Kernel Tray, Warming Light, and Accessories by Great Northern Popcorn (Black)

We have used this popcorn popper about twice a month for over a year. Better than movie theater popcorn at home. Cleanup is easy. Which is one thing I appreciate. The kids love it. It is fairly large so pay attention to dimensions when ordering.

Easy to use. Rather simple to use. Components come apart rather easily to make clean up more enjoyable. If thats even possible to state. Love the kernal catching hiles on the base and the easy to pull out tray to dump the smaller pieces and unpopped kernals. Be sure to float the popped corn over this section to catch those hard kernals and help try to avoid a costly trip to a dental facility for tooth repair. Doors as simply removed by opening and lifting up. Be sure the glass is at least room temp before trying to wash down with steamy hot water. Door glass can easily shatter if brought in from delivery in Winter months and immediately washed under hot water. Customer service is timely and trouble free to get any issue(s) resolved or even give a tipnor two for sucess every time. I am using their pre packaged All-n-One Premium Tri-Pak. 8oz. Incudes Gourmet Popcorn, Coconut Oil and Butter flavored Salt. Take all of the worries out of how much of this or that. Simply warm up the oil then add in kernals and Salt portions. Sit back and enjoy the show and a tasty treat any hour of the day or nighy.

I originally bought their 8oz. Machine. That sounded like the right size for a family of five to enjoy movie nights (correct!) I bought a 16 inch deep accent cabinet to make a popcorn station... when the 8oz. machine arrived I was disappointed with how small it looked.If you look at the photos of these popcorn poppers the top flares out. The base dimensions are significantly smaller than the dimensions listed.I took a chance and returned the 8 ounce unit (I literally dropped it off at Kohl’s Department store, easiest return ever). And then I upgraded to this 10 ounce machine. I think it’s a much more impressive size, and the extra space inside the cabinet makes it easier to scoop. I’ll post pictures of the dimensions, but it easily sits on my 16 inch deep cabinet.Tonight I popped the great Northern 8 ounce pre-measured pack and it was a perfect amount for our family. Maybe down the road I’ll buy the 10 ounce packs of popcorn for a party.Cleaning tip- I DO NOT know what the company would say about this- but I saw this idea on another review.... before I used my unit I very carefully caulked the small gap between the glass sidewalls and the metal side, using food safe silicone ($5 on Amazon). This makes so much easier to clean. Little pieces of hull and popcorn can’t get stuck in that tiny gap.I’m really glad we sized up to the larger machine, overall very impressed with the craftsmanship and packaging.We love it!

4 stars, I thought it was on the salty side.

Popped great kernels and quickly. Easy assembly.

Pros:It makes great popcorn and looks niceCons:It came damaged and black plastic handle broke after about 4 uses.We bought this popcorn machine for my husband for his birthday. Upon opening it, we noticed right away that there was damage similar to what the other reviews from December 21, 2021 reported. We bought ours in the same time frame--so I find it interesting that they all have the same damage. That is not an accident. We also had the dent in the top and the metal inside the kernel drawer was bent so that the drawer would not close. We were able to slide a hammer inside the drawer slot and gently bang the bent metal into place so that we could close the drawer. The dent on the top is not noticeable after putting the machine on the stand we have for it--so it honestly was not worth the trouble of calling or complaining.We have used the popcorn machine a few times the past week and have been very satisfied with the quality and taste of the popcorn. All in all it was considered a big WIN. Until last night.We made a batch of popcorn and when we were cleaning up the machine, we noticed that the black plastic handle on the kettle was loose. Upon further inspection, we realized that the plastic is broken from the inside. My husband has super-glued it, but I am sure that it will not hold up to long usage.We paid good money for this, and it is very disappointing to have this many quality control issues with it.

I love my popcorn machine. My last one finally wore out after many many years of use and abuse. I bought the 10oz this time because of the bigger kettle and happy I did. Hope to have this one another 10 years.

Once I reassembled the popcorn popper head unit and put the glass rubber edging in the proper position, the unit worked great. I used 1 cup of kernels and had good results. I tried more than 1 cup (also increasing the oil as directed), but ended up with many ‘old maid’ kernels, and popped but burnt shell popcorn. So 1 Cup is the sweet spot. In hindsight I wish I bought the unit that included the cart as this unit is large and not kitchen countertop friendly. I built a side table for it to sit on which works fine, but had I bought the matching cart, then I would have storage for the accessories that ship with this popper. If you want popcorn that tastes like it was from your local theatre lookup a product called flavacol, and use it with coconut oil , medium butterfly popcorn; and this popper.
