Best maker and the best price by far!
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 supplies
Cons:
- A bit on the messy side. The side...
Very good popper
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...
Great machine, great popcorn!
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...
