    Great starter popcorn maker and looks great in the movie room. Makes just the right amount for movie time at home with the wife and kids. Great price without having to break the bank.with the right oil and salt it can look and taste just like the popcorn you get at the movies.

    Suuch a cool popcorn maker! This unit looks like a professional popcorn maker but in a much neater package. It's a great conversation piece as well. I do recommend this product. I have heard people talk about the cost of the refills, but I actually buy my refills on Amazon and they also sell these little popcorn bags like you get at the movie theater cheap which is fun for parties or entertaining.

    Pros: Popcorn is very easy to make, cooks quickly and taste great. Cons: it's somewhat difficult to clean. It is what it is, I don't know what they could do to improve.

    I purchased this for the bar in my basement. I was excited to use it during football games or family game night. When I unboxed it the maker had physical damage from shipping. Returned it to Best Buy and exchanged it for another one. Once the new one arrived it worked for 1 batch of popcorn. The 1st batch took about 15 minutes before it finally popped. Went to make a second batch of popcorn and the kettle wasn't even warm to the touch any more. Turned it off for a few minutes and turned it back on and it still wasn't getting warm. Returned the product and exchanged it for a different brand maker.

    My kids and I love this popcorn maker! We really like the ease of the machine, choosing our own toppings, and having popcorn with our movies. Only thing I would change is making the kettle removable for easier cleaning. Otherwise, I love the product.

    The popcorn machine is fun, the kids love the look of it, and it makes good popcorn. The door is a little flimsy though, but things today aren’t made like the old day. Overall, it’s been great for movie night.

    Whenever I wanted popcorn I would have to microwave it, but now I can make my own with the amount of butter I would like and the toppings.

    Love the popcorn popper. Would give 5 stars but it’s much smaller than what I thought I was purchasing. It’s a great table-top unit and works well for entertaining

    I bought this because I was use to popping the old fashion way with a pot and a burner. Then I ruined a pot and decided it was time for a change. This has a longer time to make the popcorn but it is worth it

    I wanted a popcorn maker for my sons party and this was a hit! It’s easy to set up and use. The cleaning part is a little tricky because you just have to be extra careful with the parts. So, I think it’s perfect to use for birthday parties or movie nights.

    This popcorn maker works great and looks good for movie night. Very easy to clean but do some research on the flavoring powders for the popcorn.
