Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Machine - Professional Cart With 2.5 Oz Kettle Makes Up to 10 Cups - Vintage Popcorn Machine Movie Theater Style - Black

Ive been wanting a popcorn maker for awhile so I ended up choosing this one after some research. I also got it on sale which was awesome. It was pretty easy to set up & well the instructions weren’t so helpful but we figured it out. It was a bit small in height but that’s okay with me. It’s about the same height as my 6 year old.. it is fairly easy to clean and just letting the inside of the of the pot sit with warm water while I clean the inside of the of the popcorn machine (the pot is easily removable for easy cleaning). I also lay aluminum on the bottom of the popcorn machine to ensure that it’s an easier clean up. So far used it for 4 days straight and haven’t had any problems with it. Pops the perfect amount for myself I haven’t tried with multiple people.I also bought the popcorn salt & butter flavored coconut from Amazon.Combo 1: 1/2tsp of Popcorn Salt and 3tbsp of Butter Flavored Coconut Oil w/ 1 cup of kernelsCombo 2: 1/2tsp of Popcorn Salt & 3tbsp of Orville Popping & Topping Buttery Popcorn Oil w/ 1 cup of kernelsI preferred combo 2 it gave it the movie theater popcorn taste along with it being buttery. Combo 1 isn’t to bad but was struggling to find the buttery taste. Also the popcorn salt, a little goes a long way I believe the 1/2tsp is enough if you like it a bit more salty then maybe 1tsp.The popcorn maker also come with the kernel measuring cup along with the butter measuring cup and popcorn scooper.

We use this often! Makes the perfect amount for a family of 4. We do see a lot of unpopped kernels come out of the pot but think it’s about the balance of oil vs kernels. Will keep trying to perfect it ;) produces light airs perfectly cooked popcorn. Works very well and doesn’t take too long to pop a batch! Cute to boot!

I purchased this machine for my husband’s game room and we like it so far. The machine looks cheaper in person than online BUT not a dealbreaker considering the cost. Assembly was really easy and I was happy that we did not run into some of the issues other had with the parts. The popping basket is A LOT smaller than I realized and you have to run the machine SEVERAL TIMES to make enough popcorn for four or more people. That is probably my biggest complaint about this machine BUT again, not a dealbreaker. Similar to what everyone else said, the machine does dump a lot of the popcorn seeds during the popping process so there’s that issue. The popcorn tastes great but I would definitely suggest purchasing flavorings to give it that extra punch. The bottom shelf is cheap and only holds light weight things like the scooper, spoons and paper products. I would NOT store anything heavy like the tub of seeds as shown in the pictures online. Lastly, cleaning this thing is annoying because the floor of the machine and lid on popping pot cannot be removed.

Great for a small get it together but it's a great product we love it for the price. Nowhere for the kennels to go is the only bad thing about this product

I am so angry right now! I've waited for this popcorn machine, sat down as a family to put together, the box is missing 4 of the 6 volts, I purchased for a special event we have in 3 days. So, to be fair, we have not tried the machine itself.So far here is my honest review, poor packaging, has been ripped on top of old yellowing tape. box was obviously dropped on it's corner, so not 100% confident if machine will malfunction, not a happy place to be after spending over $100 on this cheap materials made machine. To my surprise, the unit is mostly plastic, had a hair inside the unit, the inner packaging came damaged, broken materials everywhere, so I strongly feel this unit was tampered or repacked. DISGUSTING! Because I ordered a new unit. I can't even disinfect, and clean because of its missing volts. What a disappointment this is. But, again, I haven't used the machine yet.The other massive problem which has not effect on NOSTALGIA, its the disgusting and unprofessional customer I received tonight from India, the 4 reps I spoke to from India, were clueless, I felt like I was bothering them, like they were sleeping and relaxing, zero professionalism, I escalated the problem, and luckily, I was transferred tot he Philippines where customer service was very professional, even though, no solution.So, these missing parts have begun a terrible experience here. I don't have a popcorn machine, I will return this repackaged item. I will probably refrain from giving my business to Amazon, due to poor quality products and customer service.The disappointment is real! What a waste of my time is Amazon!UPDATE!!!!This is probably one of the cheapest products I have ever invested in. The quality of this product is 100% below low quality. Cheap! Cheap! We could not use the cart part because of the missing volts, ruining part of our event. We tried to make it work by tying everything together with straps and that did not even work.

Bought this thinking the kids would love it, and they do.I on the other hand am not as big a fan. During assembly I noticed that some parts of the frame were broken or missing, but I made it work in the end with the help of some super glue and extra spare nuts and washers.Once you have it built the machine isn't all that bad and even makes a cool decoration. The storage area underneath is great for holding your kernals and oil. However, cleanup afterwards is a huge pain! There's barely any room inside the popping zone to clean it well enough.All in all, if you get it on sale, it's not a bad purchase but make sure to inspect the pieces for any breakage while assembling.Oh yeah, and the instructions are awful.
