Product Description
If you are in the market for a popcorn popper, stop looking. These commercial quality machines feature stainless steel food-zones, easy cleaning stainless steel kettles, heated warming decks, old-maid drawers (for un-popped kernels), tempered glass panels and an industry leading 8-ounce kettle operating on 860-watt. You won't find a comparable unit on EBAY. With the antique style design, you will be reminiscing about your early days at the ball game, carnival, or the movie theater. We have combined the best of both worlds--not only are you getting today's technology, you get an eccentric design with all the conveniences of the modern era. A couple of conveniences worthy of note include our exclusive old-maid drawer and convenient storage compartment. Our machine was designed with small perforations in the bottom stainless tray to allow the un-popped kernels to fall into the drawer. Simply "rake" the popped corn with a scoop and the "old-maids" disappear. We have also taken the base and added a convenient storage cabinet to store all of your popcorn supplies--it is perfect place to keep your popcorn bags, portion packs, and other supplies. Features: Deluxe model with 3 position control switch instead of the 2 position and 860-watt instead of 640 Switches include: spot light warmer, stirrer and pot heater Built-in warmer light Popcorn supply storage in base This model can also be used as a tabletop model without using the cart 18-inch Ball bearing wheels for smooth mobility Optional Hand lift and push rail is included free of charge Popcorn scoop is included Reject kernel tray Kernel and oil scoop is included 8-inch wide working platform shelf Heavy-duty powder coated steel and stainless steel construction Cleans up with water Makes roughly 3-gallon of popcorn per batch Minor assembly is required.

Best maker and the best price by far!
By MikeJulieSTL
I did a lot of research on these before deciding on this fantastic machine. Trust me, you can look a long time and not find anything close to this value at this price point or even one much, much higher. Highly recommend for that finishing touch on your home theater.Pros:- 3 switches for power (1 kettle stirrer, 1 heating lamp/under carriage heating element and 1 for kettle heat). This will add a lot of life to your machine!- Large 8 ounce kettle pops plenty of corn for a family of 4 or use a smaller portion (or portion pack) for movie night with your spouse.- EASY assembly and very mobile. Essentially it comes in 4 pieces, the main unit, the cart and a couple of tires. It took longer to get rid of the boxes than to assemble it. We have actually wheeled this out in front of the house so my son can sell popcorn and lemonade, its that mobile.- Storage cabinet holds a lot of suppliesCons:- A bit on the messy side. The side windows need to be wiped down every couple of uses but a paper towel usually does the trick.- Metal popcorn scoop handle came off after a few weeks, but its easily glued back on.- Makes my wife want to eat a lot of popcorn. Seriously....From the time you decide to have popcorn to actually having the popcorn is less than 5 minutes. I recommend the popcorn packs but also look for other coconut oil packs for popcorn machines and "Flavacol" for that true theater taste. Everyone who sees the machine and has the popcorn wants one of there own!

Very good popper
By Jimbo
This is a very good popcorn popper. I searched for a long time to get the right mix of ingredients to create "Theatre Tasting" popcorn. Here is what I found. I used ingredients from Grand Rapids Popcorn Company. They are local for me and they supply a lot of theaters. Here is the recipe they gave me and it is great.Use Popcorn oil. They have peanut and sunflower oils of which I couldn't tell a difference in taste and much healthier than coconut oil. I also use their Flavorcal salt. When you follow the recipe and method, it works out great. 1) Use 1/3 cup Oil. 2) 1 Cup Popcorn 3) 1 tsp Flavorcal. They call for 1 1/2 tsp (I use a little bit less because I find it can become too salty-you can adjust to your taste). Now, ignore the instructions on the pamphlet with the popper. It says to only use 1 Tbs of oil. This won't work. They also say to pour the oil in and let it heat up for 2-3 minutes. Not! The oil begins to burn and you can taste it in the finished product. Rather, turn on the heater element for the bowl and let it pre-heat for 4-5 minutes before putting anything in it. While it is heating, I use a 2-cup graduated measuring cup. I put 1/3 cup of oil, then add popcorn to reach the 1 Cup mark and put the salt on top. Pour it all in at once and turn the stirrer on. Voila! This makes the cost of an 8-ounce batch about $.25 as opposed to the pre-packets at $1.00+ each. Plus, the pre-packets tend to be hard to pour into the tub. I'm telling you, this is the way to go. It's not messy and so much cheaper. Of course, you can alter the amount for smaller batches. (1/4 Cup Oil, 3/4 Cup Popcorn, 1/2 tsp Flavorcal for a six ounce batch). Remember, these guys supply theaters, so I think they know what they're talking about. They do sell on-line or you could find a supplier in your area at least for the popcorn to avoid a high shipping cost. An 8-ounce batch is about 1 1/2 to 2 times a bag of microwave. Also, some reviewers talk about not making it fast enough. I'm sure that's true if you're making it for re-sale at an event, but for your home use, there's no problem keeping up with demand. 8 people cannot possibly eat enough, fast enough to have to wait. The unit will hold at least three batches. The heating element keeps it plenty warm that if you are having an evening of entertainment, it will keep it very fresh throughout the night. We leave it in overnight (without the heater on, of course) and it still is fresh and good the next day.

Great machine, great popcorn!
By J. wilborn
We purchased this as a family Christmas present this year. While we have only had it a few weeks, because we have 7 children ranging in age from 18 to 1, we have consumed quite a bit of popcorn in that time. I can tell you the ease of use on this machine is excellent. In 5 minutes, my children can make a large batch of outstanding popcorn. It gets used at least twice a day, is very durable and easy to clean, and works flawlessly. I will post another review after we have had it for a year, but as of right now, it is well worth the investment and enjoyed even more than I had imagined.I will also say that we purchased our machine through Amazon from Unbeatable Sales, Inc. On Christmas Eve, when we went to assemble the machine, we realized the wheel axel to the cart was missing. While we were disappointed, we certainly realize this sort of thing happens. What matters is that I sent one email back through Amazon to Unbeatable Sales, and within a week I had the missing part. We call that excellent customer service at our house!
