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!

I was so excited when I got my popcorn machine that I didn't even inspect it first. The popcorn tasted incredible just like actual theater popcorn. The one little thing I didn't like about the making process was that the "HEAT LAMP" gave almost no heat off. No more than an actual element light bulb would. After only one use and very happy with a taste of my popcorn I began to clean it. Upon cleaning it I found many little defects including cellophane over the decorative checkered pattern witch when peeled pulled off some of the white checkers which after seeing that I noticed they were not even correctly applied. Also they were pits and small cracks from the inside of a glass about where the popcorn tray would be. I'm not sure if they were caused from the heat of the fresh popcorn or if they were there prior. I am concerned with the little crack that is there but not too concerned being that it's mostly cosmetic.It seems I'll call while the chief of my complaints are mostly about the Cosmetic conditions of the machine the performance of it was excellent after a two-minute preheat 5 minutes after inserting the kernels and oil the popcorn began to pop immediately understand why you. While the heat lamp gave off no heat the popcorn did still have a theater taste thanks to the oil and salts used. If the heat lamp had worked The Taste would have been better allowing the popcorn to dry immediately just like it does at the movie theater. The next day the popcorn that was left smelt incredible. After drying and allowing the salt to soak in it gave it the exact same taste and smell as a movie theater!I had high expectations for this product as I thought it was completely American made. However after finding out it's actually made in China I'm not surprised with a cosmetic quality. If I could I would give this product three and a half Stars instead four stars, but since the taste of the popcorn was so great and clean the machine is so easy I'll go ahead and round up to a 4-star rating.

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.

The media could not be loaded. This popcorn maker has clear instructions and is easy to set up. It even comes with a plastic container that fits perfectly inside the machine to catch the popcorn as it drops. It is small enough to fit on an open shelf in our livingroom. It has an art deco design style that gives it vintage flare but doesn't compete with other looks. It makes perfect single serving portions that taste just like movie theater popcorn. It heats up quickly and makes the popcorn in just a couple of minutes. You can make enough popcorn for the entire family in less than 10 minutes. All my nieces and nephews love to watch as it pops the corn. The clean up isn't too difficult but the parts cannot be submerged in water so it cannot be soaked or put in the dishwasher. It can be a little tricky to get all the cooked oil off of the inside of the popping pan but as long as you clean it after each movie night it shouldn't be a problem. It has definitely added a little extra magic to family movie nights. Now we have no reason to pay to go to the movies since we can just stream something on our projector and enjoy from the comfort of our couch complete with movie theater popcorn.

Works great well worth the price
