Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Machine - Professional Cart With 8 Oz Kettle Makes Up to 32 Cups - Vintage Popcorn Machine Movie Theater Style - Black

This is the CUTEST Popcorn machine ever! Well made, easy to use and assemble. The popcorn pot is a little hard to get to because it is smaller but still very functional. Pops quick, gets hot fast and easy to clean

Putting it together was quite easy even though the instructions were not very specific. Works well and the cleaning process is simple ! This makes more than enough for a family of 4 !

This was a nice purchase. We have used it several times with no problems. Easy to use, and family loves it. Great quality. Thought it was a little pricey for the durability of it as it is not as heavy as I thought it to be. The dispenser works great and there's a compartment in back for storring toppings and containers. Easy to clean and move around as needed. Kernels pop without burning and it doesn't take much oil to use. Taste is better than theaters.

I had this in my list for months, debating on getting this one or some other brand. I finally decided on this one. We have used it 3 times and it's been great each time. It is much smaller than I expected, you can barely get two hands into the machine, one to hold the lid open and one to pour stuff into the kettle. I wish that the lid could lay back a little further so it could stay open while you pour your oil and popcorn in. However, I realized that the smaller size is great for our family. We have a bit left over each time and I just throw it into a container and leave it on the counter and it slowly disappears over the course of a few days. Then we make more. It doesn't take up nearly as much room as I thought it would. I had read a few reviews that said the candy dispenser side does not go on the same side as the door of the popcorn maker. It does if you put the base in the correct way. The side that has the slits is the side the dispenser will slide into, make sure it's on the side you want the door when you put it together. I had to take it apart to the base when I realized I had not put it on the side I wanted it. It was not hard at all. I was able to put it together by myself fairly quickly. I also didn't realize I had put the handle on the same side as the wheels. Don't do that. I realized my mistake when I tried to roll it. Again, very easy fix. We have been using the all-in-one packs for 8 oz kettles. The first time I let the oil heat up for about 3-4 min before dumping in the flavocal and popcorn. The popcorn started popping immediately but it wasn't the yellow color that I expected since this is supposed to be like movie popcorn. It still turned out alright, but the last kernals were a bit burnt. The 2nd time I let the oil warm up for less time before dumping in the popcorn and flavocal. This time I had some yellow popcorn. This last time I dumped the popcorn and flavocal in just after the oil melted. I had a lot more yellow popcorn but it was just a bit chewier. Everyone loved each batch though. It will just take practice to get the timing right. I took a star off because of the candy dispenser. It is cute to look at but it is very very small. You are not going to be able to put any big candy in there, for example: peanut M&Ms. I have regular M&Ms in one, Reeses Pieces in another. They dispense about 4 pieces at a time. None of the kids are interested in standing there and continuously turning the knob forever to get candy out. The biggest candy we have tried are the peanut butter M&Ms. I figured they were smaller than the peanut ones so they might fit. They fit, but you only get one at a time. I will probably end up dumping them out and either filling them with something decorative or making a shelf and door for it. Otherwise, the dispenser is pretty useless. Overall we are pretty happy with the popcorn machine and hope it lasts quite a while.

I know I didn't NEED this, but it is such a fun and delicious addition to our family. This thing makes amazing popcorn, in a good sized amount for company, and is really fun to have for movie nights, game nights, birthday parties, or to tide guests over while the main course is still cooking Pair this with the All-in-One popcorn packs from Great Northern and buy some cute little paper popcorn bags and enjoy yourself It has wheels which makes it great to roll around to store and take back out quickly

I wanted to review this to give my experiences using this machine and to counter the voices suggesting this is hard to clean. Like others when I was first reviewing my options, one of the reoccurring comments that I kept reading, was fear of having to clean it after use. I can assure you it is easy and takes only 10-15 minutes to completely clean and sanitize. This machine arrived on time and was easy to put together. I read reviews on what popcorn, oil, supplies to buy and settled on the following: I use the Great Northern 4oz All-in-one packs (popcorn, flavonoid salt and coconut oil) even though this is an 8oz Popcorn Machine - that is plenty of popcorn for 2-4 people. I also use the Snappy Butter Burst Popcorn butter / oil to drizzle on afterwards - it makes it just like theater popcorn! My pro-tip: I use half of the flavonoid salt in the GN All-in-one pack and it is perfect! Follow the provided directions to make: The left button is a warming light and also warms the bottom. Turn on the right button to heat the kettle and start the turning arm, for only two minutes, then switch it off, while you add your oil and salt. When it has melted, add your popcorn. Then turn back on the right switch. It will take approximately 3 more minutes to pop. Once the popping has slowed down to the last kernels (about a few pops every few seconds) turn off right switch and dump the kettle’s remaining kernels. That’s it! The kettle gets very hot quickly, so extended use or leaving it on will burn the oil and or popcorn. The cleaning is straightforward. I thoroughly clean the machine after 4-6 uses. Following each use, I will clean out the leftover popcorn and kernels and wipe the bottom of the machine with a water wet paper towel. When I clean out the entire thing (I have used several methods - found good idea from a guy on YouTube that steam cleans it). But ultimately, it is easy to just remove the kettle take it to the sink and clean it like any other pot. Then I use a vinegar and water mix 1/3 Vinegar and wash out the inside sides, top and bottom using paper towels. It works well and is quick and easy. I use windex on the outside only. Good luck and don’t forget the Snappy Butter Burst - it makes the popcorn even better! Enjoy.

Works great, is so cute. I love it.

This item is so darn cute, but here is my feedback. I received this on 9/23, and putting it together was not easy as the instructions were TERRIBLE. Once I figured it out by watching a YouTube video, I noticed a few things. The candy dispenser is super cheap feeling (mine actually came with a crack on the left corner). Most of the item is metal, with the exception of a few very cheap plastic items. Besides that, it is pretty sturdy. Height and size are on the smaller end, especially for the pricing (AKA overpriced). I am 5 ′ 9", 175 lbs, and below you can see a picture of me next to it. The packaging was great and had no issues. One of the most annoying issues with this item definitely has to be the cord inside that connects to the pot. It is in such a weird location, and every time you flip the pot over, it causes issues by getting in the way, and the overall placement is TERRIBLE. Would I recommend it? Honestly, really think about it price-wise. Find the lowest price and measure ahead of time. Will be back down the road with updates.

É Linda e funciona bem , valeu super a pena!

This machine is really well made and we’ve been getting a ton of use out of it. The perfect size for a family of 4 (however more than that you’d need a bigger machine or small servings) The only complaint is that it’s a bit of a pain to clean it out after but that’s all. We really love it!

Todo al 100

Good quality machine with cool retro look. Quite easy to put together and to use. Litte bit of effort to clean, but to be expected.

It was never mentioned that it was a 120 v. first use and the machine get damaged and out of service. Lots of money and no warning from the saler!
