Movie Night Countertop Popcorn Machine - 3 Gallon Popper - 8oz Kettle, Old Maids Drawer, Warming Tray, Scoop by Superior Popcorn Company (Red)

We ordered this to add to our theater room. It is the perfect size, makes great popcorn and is perfectly priced compared to some other products. Easy to use and clean.

Compact size makes it easy to move around and store but is a little hinderance when cleaning. You will have some unpopped kernels which I believe is due to the shallow kettle, commercial kettles of the same capacity are much deeper, another compromise for size. HINT: Don't mess with less than full 8oz batch as efficiency seems to diminish - not sure why. Have read other reviews about smoking, don't have a clue, also about magnetic latch misalignment which I concur, it does have some adjustment but I also shimmed the magnet down for better alignment. FORMULA: ( I have had great success using this recipe ) 2 1/2 oz. popping oil, I use Orville Redenbacher's or Kernel Season's, 8oz pop corn, generic Meijers, Krogers, IGA yellow or white and 1 teaspoon Flavacol seasoning. Oil first and like stovetop directions put a few kernels in the oil and heat. When a kernel pops it's time to dump in the corn and seasoning together, this coats the popped kernels evenly with no need to add anything after popping. Also stay close and LISTEN FOR POPPING TO SLOW DOWN and dump the kettle, don't wait for it to stop or you will have burnt corn. Overall we love this machine and the flavor is far superior to microwave. My overall impression is that compared to commercial machines that can run thousands of dollars you can't beat it for the money. I recommend this product.

I had originally ordered a different one which was delayed and I needed it by Halloween to pass out popcorn. This one arrived early and worked perfectly. It keeps the popcorn warm and is easy to use and set up. Came with bags scooper, and everything that you need to get going. Was so easy to use that even the kids started popping popcorn for me. The only negative thing I have to say is if you don’t clean it immediately afterwards, parts of it can start to rust.

The popcorn maker works perfectly. Was a nice addition to our bar

Great product

This popcorn machine is exactly what I was looking for to support my family’s love of popcorn! It was easy to assemble, worked as promised and gives a genuine movie theater/carnival vibe to our special occasions. It can handle 2 full 8oz loads of popcorn at a time. The heat lamp does a good job keeping kernels warm.

The media could not be loaded. This machine is a beast. Love it and it’s always a hit at all our events.

I love the machine though my popcorn comes out tough and chewy. I have tried popcorn packets and oil combos, Orville Redenbacher, and mushroom popcorn. I’ve used coconut oil and Crisco. When I checked the temperature of the heated pot, it was 425-450. It should be 350-400. HELP if anyone knows what to do.
