Nostalgia Red Professional Popcorn Maker Machine - 8 Oz Kettle Makes Up to 32 Cups - Includes 24 8-Ounce Popcorn All-In-One Packs

Fantastic popcorn machine! Looks great, built great, and is literally just like the movie theater popcorn machines, couldn't ask for more

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

Item works like it’s supposed to. The only pushback I’d have to complain about is that the popcorn doesn’t be hot even right after popping it. The light on the inside isn’t a heat lamp which I would have hoped they would’ve provided. And then there’s an issue when it comes to dumping the popcorn!!! The cord keeps getting hooked on the magnetic door handle contraption!

This thing is great, the family loves it especially during movie nights. We tried some of prepackaged kits that said they were for 8oz kettles but when we actually got them were only for 6oz kettles, through some math and experimenting I will provide you the amounts I use then I make a batch in our 10oz kettle using store bought items. (This makes enough to fill more than 2 of those large popcorn buckets and a couple of single serve) 1 and 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels 4 table spoons of coconut oil = 2oz 2 table spoons of popcorn butter = 1oz 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of flavored popcorn salt The coconut oil and popcorn butter equal to 3oz that go into the kettle. I warm this up in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds to get the coconut oil to its liquid state. As far as the kettle goes, I don't let it warm up much. I dump the oil in first, wait about 30 seconds, then pour the kernels, wait 30 seconds, then pour in the popcorn salt. Now you sit and wait. When it starts popping ALWAYS stay and watch it. Once you hear the popping slow down drastically, then turn off the kettle and dump it out to avoid anything burning in it (i've done atleast 10+ batches like this and nothing has burned yet, just the normal tinning). The popcorn comes out a little on the white side, but for us that's the perfect amount of butter to oil to kernels ratio that has the best flavor. I hope this helps someone out as I could not really find anything online like this. Also, make sure to clean with hot water and dish soap after every use. I use a bottle brush to get all the spots well, flip it upside down and prop the little doors open and let it air dry till next use.

Great product … hard to clean like all popcorn machines.

We had one like it that finally wore out after 10 years, so we wanted to stick with the same reliable popcorn maker. It wasn’t overly complicated to put together and it just plain looks cool. The decorative lighting on this newer model is LED which is great. We popped a bag of popcorn and this machine was extremely efficient. This machine is awesome and I highly recommend it.

Great looking but plug inside kettle was shattered upon arrival, rendering the unit useless which is messing up our birthday party. I've never even seen this type of failuer before.

Looks great, I love the black and gold look to it. It’s the perfect size and looks awesome in our movie room!
