It wasn't too hard to put together, although there seemed to be mistakes in the directions. Once it's put together is easy to use. I think warming the oil up, for 1-2 minutes before adding popcorn is advisable if using coconut oil. It's great to make popcorn for watching movies at home. Clean-up is not difficult but could be made easier. The pan that holds the popcorn and oil is a little difficult to get to for cleanup, although it is removable. All in all, a blast to have!

After getting an Amazon gift card for my birthday a few months ago, I decided to indulge my long time wish for a "real" popcorn machine. I had a bartending job in my early 20s at one of those restaurant/movie theater combos - one of my duties was making the popcorn. I got my perfect salt/butter ratio down to a science and also learned that you simply cannot duplicate the popcorn from a "real" machine using one of the cheaper air/shaker/oil appliances at home - and microwave popcorn is terrible AND terrible for you. We also entertain at home quite a bit so I thought it'd be cool to have this machine sitting out with other snacks at times. As usual, I do a bunch of reviewing of reviews before deciding on this one. I was a bit concerned after reading some experiences with loose/falling screws - but I have put this machine more than a handful of times now and I've had no issues. That said - it was hard to gauge how big or small this was (and how much I could pop at once) beforehand. I do wish I'd opted for something that could produce more popcorn at once - but considering my lack of storage space this was for the best. The cleanup is a pain in the behind, but I expected that when I bought it and certainly on a smaller scale than the big traditional movie theater machine. One thing to be careful of - when you're putting it down or away - it is best not to slide it back. Two of the rubber feet popped off when I slid it back to store it. It will make it sit unevenly on the counter so make sure you recover them! Also, I highly recommend using cocunut oil - it really puts the flavor over the top. Overall - very happy with my purchase. Also - everyone I've made popcorn for raves about how delicious it is. Some of that is due to ingredients obviously, but the machine does most of the work.

Works great and easy to keep clean. I use this daily for a quick snack and even make multiple batches quickly for movie nights. Everyone loves the fresh buttery popped popcorn this little machine makes. I love the compact size of it so it fits nicely on the kitchen counter without taking up a lot of space like our other popcorn machine we have for when we need to make large batches for parties. This little machine makes popcorn just as good as our large machine and at a fraction of the price. I highly recommend this small popcorn machine that works great and doesn’t cost a lot.

This popcorn machine is great especially paird with their brand pre package popcorn packs. You won't regret it!
