NostalgiaPopcorn Maker Machine - Professional Cart With 10 Oz Kettle Makes Up to 40 Cups - Vintage Popcorn Machine Movie Theater Style - Red

The media could not be loaded. Such a great old timey looking popcorn machine! Great quality! Easy to put together! The directions are sketchy but you can figure it out easily. We used 3-1 ratio. 3 parts popcorn and 1 parts oil. Delicious!

This was great. It was easy to clean, it lasted being on for hours, easy to setup, and all of the kernels popped perfectly.I was missing 2 screws, but they weren't entirely needed.

Bought this in 2019, we use it a lot!!! Works great, never had any problems. Buying another one for my son's house. Would definitely recommend. Great size for a large family, not too big, not too small.

I had this in my list for months, debating on getting this one or some other brand. I finally decided on this one. We have used it 3 times and it's been great each time. It is much smaller than I expected, you can barely get two hands into the machine, one to hold the lid open and one to pour stuff into the kettle. I wish that the lid could lay back a little further so it could stay open while you pour your oil and popcorn in. However, I realized that the smaller size is great for our family. We have a bit left over each time and I just throw it into a container and leave it on the counter and it slowly disappears over the course of a few days. Then we make more. It doesn't take up nearly as much room as I thought it would.I had read a few reviews that said the candy dispenser side does not go on the same side as the door of the popcorn maker. It does if you put the base in the correct way. The side that has the slits is the side the dispenser will slide into, make sure it's on the side you want the door when you put it together. I had to take it apart to the base when I realized I had not put it on the side I wanted it. It was not hard at all. I was able to put it together by myself fairly quickly. I also didn't realize I had put the handle on the same side as the wheels. Don't do that. I realized my mistake when I tried to roll it. Again, very easy fix.We have been using the all-in-one packs for 8 oz kettles. The first time I let the oil heat up for about 3-4 min before dumping in the flavocal and popcorn. The popcorn started popping immediately but it wasn't the yellow color that I expected since this is supposed to be like movie popcorn. It still turned out alright, but the last kernals were a bit burnt. The 2nd time I let the oil warm up for less time before dumping in the popcorn and flavocal. This time I had some yellow popcorn. This last time I dumped the popcorn and flavocal in just after the oil melted. I had a lot more yellow popcorn but it was just a bit chewier. Everyone loved each batch though. It will just take practice to get the timing right.I took a star off because of the candy dispenser. It is cute to look at but it is very very small. You are not going to be able to put any big candy in there, for example: peanut M&Ms. I have regular M&Ms in one, Reeses Pieces in another. They dispense about 4 pieces at a time. None of the kids are interested in standing there and continuously turning the knob forever to get candy out. The biggest candy we have tried are the peanut butter M&Ms. I figured they were smaller than the peanut ones so they might fit. They fit, but you only get one at a time. I will probably end up dumping them out and either filling them with something decorative or making a shelf and door for it. Otherwise, the dispenser is pretty useless.Overall we are pretty happy with the popcorn machine and hope it lasts quite a while.

Used for a theme at work, employee appreciation - worked out perfect! Made it fun and entertaining.

I never write reviews, and almost no one rights a review 4 and half years later about a product. This machine was used 3 or 4 times a week for four years AND brought and used at events with over 200 people 3 times. So after all of that, a piece broke off the kettle, and being lazy and sad I didn't have my popcorn machine I dragged my feet contacting the company. What a mistake that was, because when I finally did, they let me buy a new kettle FOR SO CHEAP!Within 3 days of my first sent email, I had a phone number and inquiry number to call. I called it the next business day, spoke to the sweetest woman from Wisconsin, and had my spare kettle ordered. My machine was immediately back up and running and making our life delicious once again.This machine is easy to use, makes a serving size per kettle about a movie theatre rub popcorn, and most of all the company that did it was in the states and were so helpful! 10/10 recommend this!

We love this popcorn machine! Everything works perfectly, albeit the motor is a bit noisy. There is a major moisture build up while the corn is popping but, cracking the door open a bit is enough to keep the space dry and the popcorn crisp. Even the chewy popcorn is good, it is a matter of personal preference.

This thing is awesome. I thought this would just be a nice visual piece to fill in a corner in my living room. We use the popcorn machine constantly! It looks fantastic. It cleans up easily. It's super easy to use. You can make just a little bit, or a ton. All in all, of of the best purchases I've made on Amazon.
