Pros:
- The machine is compact and doesn’t take up a lot of space. It can easily be kept on a kitchen counter which is nice.
- It comes with a plastic tray to catch the popcorn which makes removing the popcorn very easy and helps to keep the machine clean which I really like.
-The kettle is stainless steel and is not coated with teflon that can scrape off over time from the stirring mechanism like many of the other similar machines that I researched which can be unsafe to use.
-Comes in 4 fun colors to choose from! (Black, Red, Pink, & Blue)
-Although the “warming light” really doesn’t warm the popcorn, I do like that it has a light that lights up the machine. Many other similar size machines do not come with lights at all.
-This machine has the handle to empty the kettle on the outside of the machine which I really like, and helps to eliminate burning yourself vs. many others where the handle is on the inside.
-Makes great tasting popcorn that you just cannot get from microwave or air popped popcorn.
Cons:
-While the plastic housing of the machine is simple enough to clean with a damp cloth or paper towel the kettle itself does not come apart and it is a little tricky to clean. Especially because you have to take great care not to submerge it in water.
-Removing and installing the kettle can be a little tricky to do. It has to be lined up just right and while it is doable. I feel it could be a little easier than it is.
-I’ve noticed a few unpopped kernels that fly out while popping. Not a huge deal, I think some can be expected with these types of kettle poppers. Overall most of the popcorn does pop though.
-This machine is small and only makes enough popcorn for one or two people. For me it’s fine since I’m the only one in my household that eats it, but not so ideal for more than two people.
-While not a deal breaker, the machine did not come with the popcorn bags as advertised.
Overall I do like the aesthetics of the popcorn machine, it looks great in my movie room! I do wish the kettle were easier to clean though. But with that said, the machine makes great popcorn and I am for the most part happy with it.
I bought this machine along with everything needed to make authentic movie theater popcorn and it turned out really good!
2 tbsps. of Butter Flavored Coconut popping oil.
1/2 teaspoon Of Flavacol Popcorn Salt
1/3 cup of Popcorn Kernels
When finished I top it off with the buttery popcorn topping to taste.
All can be purchased from Amazon! (See my photo posted for specifics.)
Taste just like the theaters! (or better)Give it a try!
