I needed a replacement for my old Orville Redenbacher popper and bought this one since the price was good. Big mistake. Not all the kernels popped and it blew the unpopped kernels all over the kitchen counter top. Plus the popped ones got stuck in the top part of the device and I had to turn it over to get the half of the kernels that did pop to fall in the bowl. Doesn't Sunbeam have any quality control? I am going back to Orville Redenbacher.

Prepare up to 18 cups of hot, crispy popcorn at a time - and in less than five minutes - with this convenient Sunbeam hot-air popcorn maker. Simply add a scoop of regular or gourmet popping kernels to the machine, place a large serving bowl (not included) under the spout, and flip the switch to "on". The unit leaves behind virtually no un-popped kernels, and its angled chute effectively directs popped corn into the serving bowl. Because it works with hot air instead of oil, the popper makes it easy to create a healthy, low-fat snack. Enjoy the popped corn plain, with salt and melted butter, or get creative with a wide range of favorite toppings including, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or parmesan cheese. The unit's measuring cup, which sits in the lid, also works well for naturally melting butter or margarine for drizzling over the popped corn. Other highlights include a transparent lid for safe viewing and removable parts for quick cleanup.

We have had this product for years as my daughter is a popcorn fanatic. We never had any problems with soggy popcorn, perhaps because we remove the thin plastic lid from the top while it is popping. Which is something I think you are suppose to do otherwise you would get too much condensation built up inside the bowl. When it is done we attach the lid before we release the bowl from the hot plate and invert it. This product has been used heavily for 4 years and still works great. I am purchasing another one today for my daughter and her sorority house to enjoy.

Black Bar Style "Lincoln" 8 Ounce Antique Popcorn Machine (Bar Style)
I love popcorn and I didn't think it could get any better than popping it from my old cast iron skillet. Well, due to a health problem I can't use an iron skillet anymore. So I looked at about ten other brands of poppers and those that were comparable to this popper were like $100-$200 dollars more. So that did it for me, plus this one has a warming pan and heat lamp that make the popcorn crispy and tender some features that some of the others didn't have.
We had all the family for Christmas and the popper was in continual use they all just loved it--so what can I say, this is a great deal and the quality is top grade: stainless steel popper, the power plug is magnetic so you don't have to pull hard to get the cord off. The popper-pot comes our easily for cleaning, don't immerse the pot in water though, the instructions tell you how to clean it.
Well, that about covers it, oh, except one thing, it's 7 degrees outside right now and the days are dark and gloomy with storm, popcorn sure brings a smile to people's faces when they here it and smell its aroma; we throw on a movie and settle in while the wind and snow rages outside.
I really recommend this popper, oh and there's just me and the wife at home in case you're wondering about the popper being too big for small families--the popcorn stores nicely and it doesn't last long because its so tender and crunchy you'll be snacking on it all day.
MarvIt is going on four years since I wrote the above review; I just want to say that I haven't had one moments problem with this machine and It still pops the greatest popcorn I've ever eaten :-) February 12, 2011

Deluxe 6oz Red Popcorn Maker Machine by Paramount Entertainment - New Full Size 6 oz Popper & Cart Review

Deluxe 6oz Red Popcorn Maker Machine by Paramount Entertainment - New Full Size 6 oz Popper and Cart
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After recently purchasing new home theater seating, the next step was to get a home popcorn machine. The kids were excited about getting a popcorn machine and we settled on the 6oz Paramount machine with the matching cart. The machine also comes in a 4oz and 8oz versions, but for only about $30 more than the 4oz machine, we could get make 50% more popcorn with the 6oz machine. You won't regret the cost of spend a little extra money to get the 6oz machine.
The cart and popcorn machine arrive in two separate boxes and the caft requires assembly, but it is so easy! My daughter and I had it together in no time at all. The popcorn machine is then attached to the cart, and then you attach the kettle, screw in the stirrer, plug everything in and you're ready to go!!
After warming up the kettle, simply pour the pre-packaged oil, salt, and popcorn into the kettle and you're poppin'. The aroma it makes smells so good throughout the room! One recommendation: use only half the salt in the pre-packaged pouches, as we found the popcorn to be a little salty when you use all of the salt. The machine is easy to wipe clean and I would recommend using just soap and water. The crumb/old maid tray is also a great feature to help clean your machine. Couldn't really evaluate the warming light and deck warmer as the popcorn seemed to disappear as fast as we made it!!
The machine is well constructed and comes with a five year warranty, which is important. We had a couple of spokes on one of the wheels that were damaged during shipment and the seller sent out a replacement wheel at no charge the day after I contacted him by email. Quick and efficient response!!
Overall, we are very happy with our choice of this machine and would recommend it to anyone looking to get a very nice looking and functioning home popcorn machine without spending a fortune.
We use the machine all the time now and microwave popcorn is a thing of the past!!

I ordered the Red Bar Style "Roosevelt" 8 ounce popcorn machine for our soccer league concession stand this past August. I had done a lot of searching to try & find something that would fit in to our budget but was still of a commercial grade. What a GREAT find this was! The machine is great, pops the corn quickly, cleans up very easily & the drawer in the bottom for the unpopped kernels is wonderful! I also ordered the popcorn portion packs from Discount Tommys (several times now) as I didn't want to mess with measuring oil, popcorn etc. I was a little skeptical at how it would taste but I can honestly tell you popcorn became our biggest seller this fall at our concession stand. Customer Service is great! They shipped everything quickly & the packing was superb! I wold definitely recommend this popcorn machine for home use & concessions/church events etc!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this popcorn machine as a gift from my wife and I love it! It makes a great addition to any home theater room and movie night is even more fun.
Pros of the machine:
1. Somewhat easy to clean. I've never owned a popcorn machine before, but I have to say that cleaning isn't a nightmare. All of the parts come out relatively easy and everything wipes down great. The glass is a bit tricky to wipe, but all of the stainless steel washes clean with soap and water. It takes about 5-10 minutes to clean.
2. Hardly any unpopped kernals. The stirrer does a great job to keep all of the popcorn evenly heated and moving. When using a 6oz Megapop prepackaged popcorn and oil packet, about 10-15 kernals escape without being popped.
3. It looks great! The old-fashioned look is really nice and definitely attracts attention. It's made out of quality materials and is pretty heavy.
If you're looking for that authentic theater popcorn taste, I recommend purchasing the 36ct 6oz Megapop popcorn/oil packets. Everything is included in the package and the taste is unbelievable. You won't be able to get the same taste using regular oil and salt.
Cons of the machine are:
I honestly can't think of any. I love it.

Cuisinart CPM-900 Popcorn Maker Review

Cuisinart CPM-900 Popcorn Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I gave this unit 1 star because in the course of a few of months I've had two now that have broken. Here's how it works when it breaks: you call customer support, they give you attitude, grill you as if you've done something wrong, they charge you $10 to ship the replacement unit and then you have to ship the broken unit back - so ~$20 to get a replacement for something under warranty. What breaks? There are 3 main pieces to the unit: the plug-in base, the heating element, and the bowl. The heating element detaches from the base, a very nice feature, but after about a month on the first unit the handles and clip that attach to the base broke. After another couple of months on the replacement the heating element stopped heating.
From a looks and *appearance* of built quality I'd give this unit 5 stars. But I think even with the vents in the top it still retains a little too much moisture. I think this keeps the popcorn from being as light as it could be. This is what I mean by good, but not great popcorn.
I've tried a lot of poppers over the years and I've learned that good popcorn matters a lot. My favorites are from [...] and Paloma De Colores (sometimes amazon sell this). Also, I've made my best popcorn with a whirly pop and just a pot on the stove. Problem with the whirly pop is they're a pain to clean and gets "icky" after a while, problem with the pot is that it's "interactive" (you have to shake it).
It's a nice looking appliance, the 3-piece design is a good idea, you can legitimately put what needs to be cleaned in the dishwasher. But you can easily double the cost of the unit in paying for shipping of replacements and you'll have to deal with very poor customer support. I'm now searching again...

My wife and I bought this popper last winter to add to our basement home theater and movie nights have never been better since we ditched the microwave popcorn! It's simple to use and makes great movie theater-tasting popcorn in no time if you follow the directions. It also looks pretty cool on or off the cart adding a nice touch to our home theater and bar area. After reading other reviews and comments, I have to agree that the limited space inside the popper makes it a little tricky when adding popcorn and oil, but not impossible. The more you use it, the more you get used to it. A warmer to keep the popcorn warm and a vent to release the steam during popping would have been nice. I admit I was surprised by how small the kettle was, but making about 3 or 4 batches ends up being plenty of popcorn for the 2 of us and our 2 children. Again, these are small gripes and yes, there are more professional quality poppers out there with more features, but for the money we paid and ease of use, we're very happy with it! Certainly beats microwave corn! I recommend using coconut oil and adding Flavacol or some sort of commercial popcorn seasoning to the kettle when popping. Enjoy the show in the comfort of your own home!

It features a large, stainless-steel kettle with a built-in stirring system and kernel catcher to keep out the unpopped kernels. There is a compartment in the base of the unit to store supplies, making it easy to keep the cart well-stocked and organized. The old fashioned movie time popcorn cart has an easy-to-clean design and is approved for commercial use. Its accessible height makes serving a snap.

I have tried many brands of popcorn. This is the best tasting of all. In fact it is identical to the movie house popcorn. Just salty enough and just the right touch of seasoning. That is why I would give it five stars. But here is the problem. It pops large plump kernels. When I first used it in my 8 ounce popper half the kernels would not pop. But when I measured out half portions and divided the package into two portions and popped them separately most all the kernels popped. This means you have to use half measures of oil, seasoning and popcorn. Apparently the large kernels take up too much room in the popper. I think it is ironical that the company calls this the "Pefect" portion pack. It is anything but that. I tried to e-mail the company but they never returned my e-mails. Actually the hassle of dividing the portions is worth the quality of what is produced in the long run. That is if you have the patience.

I've used this popper for over 15 years. Now I'm buying them for friends. Note one small error in the product description--this popper pops 3 quarts of popcorn in UNDER 2 and a half mintues--2.5/not 25 minutes.
The Presto Power Pop works wonders with Orville Redenbacher popcorn. We cut calories by spraying a little Pam on the popped kernels and adding butter flavored salt.
You'll have to experiment a little with timing of your microwave. We listen to it carefully and stop the microwave the second the rate of popping slows below one second per pop. Be sure to use the concentrater in the bottom. And replace it when it gets brown. Enjoy the best and healthiest popcorn with the least trouble you can imagine.

The microwave popper that really works. It pops up to 3 quart of delicious popcorn in as little as 2-1/2 minutes. Pop with oil for a buttery flavor or without oil for a lighter snack. The exclusive PowerBase and PowerCup concentrators combine to focus microwave energy so effectively that virtually every kernal pops. Fits in most microwave ovens, even compact models with cavity sizes over 6-1/2" T. x 10" W. Easy-to-clean. The bowl and lid are fully immersible and dishwasher safe. 1 year limited warranty.

Nostalgia Circus-Cart Popcorn Makers Review

Nostalgia Circus-Cart Popcorn Makers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Most popcorn makers of the 4 oz. kettle size and up are much more expensive than this model manufactured for the Helman Group (aka Nostalgia Electrics). Consequently, I would say that it is a good value ---- but that's not to say it doesn't have its flaws. Unlike many of its more expensive competitors, this model carries a commercial rating, but that doesn't translate into a bulletproof appliance that your kids can knock around without denting or damaging it (or worse, burning themselves on the hot kettle). The storage shelf built into the stand is covered by a metal door with rather fragile looking hinges, and the plexiglass panel that provides access to the hopper ought to be framed in metal to keep it from flexing flimsily. Fortunately, though the metal housing is rather thin, we noticed no major dents or flaws in the paint job. Nevertheless, even with gentle use the wheel cover nut came off after one week and we can't get Helman Group to return phone calls. Their customer service line is either busy or routes to an answering machine. This lends a very unprofessional impression, to say the least. In this respect, I have to dock it a star. There's only a 90-day warranty and no real support to back it. The manufacturer had better hope that nobody calls their state attorney general's office. In any event, when paying more than $200, an extended warranty isn't a bad idea whether it's a piece of fitness equipment or a novelty appliance.
The key to using this popper with success is to use FRESH POPCORN KERNELS in combination with the CORRECT MEASUREMENTS. Fresh doesn't necessarily mean the kernels at your grocery store that you purchased last week. Who knows how long they sat there while the average customer bypassed them for the microwave variety? Case-in-point: We had some gourmet popcorn left over from a gift set a year or so back and it popped great, whereas the "new" bag of popcorn kernels didn't pop well at all. So when there are complaints on Internet reviews about too many kernels left unpopped, it could be a bad heating element but more likely stale popcorn kernels are to blame. I have no idea if this explains it, but most corn is genetically modified by splicing genes of unrelated plants and animals to create disease resistant, higher yield crops (aka "frankenfood"). It could be that much of the so-called popcorn kernels sold today are inferior for popping because they are no longer natural. Try switching to organic, non-GMO and/or another brand and you will be pleased with the results.
Commercial popcorn rental units have a technique not mentioned in the user manual that ships with the CPP510. After pre-heating the kettle by flipping on the switch for 3 minutes add in the oil and THREE kernels. If all three pop, add the remainder to the kettle. Secondly, when popping, never use more than a half cup (level, not heaping). This is key if you don't want the mechanism that stirs the corn to jam. Same goes for oil and seasoning. For this reason there are tools included for accurate measurements. And lastly, that handy light bulb in the top looks cool but unless you pop multiple back-to-back batches to fill the hopper, it's just too far removed from the bottom of the hopper to keep the popcorn piping hot (a batch, incidentally, is about 8-10 cups of popped corn). The warming light is better than nothing, though. (And since it is an ordinary light bulb, no costly or exotic lighting replacements are in store.)
As stated before, this unit is not a toy. It looks nice but the sheet metal is very sharp inside and it is easy to cut yourself while cleaning the unit ---- speaking from firsthand experience, I might add. In addition, it is up to the user to time the popping. Once the corn pops more slowly it is vitally important to shut off the heat to the kettle so that the warming element will not burn out prematurely. Generally, it takes only 3-5 minutes to warm the kettle. Once the ingredients are added it generally takes another 3 minutes or so to pop the contents. There is no need to wait for a cool-down time between batches. (Just be careful when refilling the kettle to turn off the heating element first and to wear gloves to prevent burns.)
When turning the handle to dump the popcorn into the hopper be careful not to hit the mechanism too hard. The kettle's motor assembly is held to the underside of the metal roof by a plastic bracket. Moreover, giving it a hard swing from side to side may damage the gear alignment. In fact, the trickiest part about using the popper is getting the kettle seated properly. At a height of 4'11, this task requires either a chair or a lot of awkward bending/reaching. The user manual warns that if the popper jams or doesn't operate correctly, it could be a result of misaligned gears due to failing to seat the kettle properly.
The instructions don't give any advice on seasoning. Because of that, it requires a bit of experimentation to obtain the desired flavor. If you want the artery clogging variety traditionally served in theaters, use coconut oil with butter flavoring. If you prefer your popcorn a bit healthier, the good news is that this is entirely doable because just about any oil can be used to pop corn. We prefer popping oil that is unsaturated, non-hydrogenated and trans-fat free. To that we add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Flavacol butter flavored salt manufactured by Gold Medal. The result is popcorn flavor that no microwave or air popper can approach -- and not the least bit greasy, either (thanks to the fact that the popper only requires 1 tablespoon of oil and distributes it evenly). For the latter, our preference is Orville Redenbacher Popping & Topping Oil.
The instructions don't give much advice on cleaning except to say that the kettle is supposed to become "seasoned" as a result of normal use. After reading reviews in which people complain that after a year or so of use their stirring mechanism begins to jam, I can't help but wonder if this is due to an excessive buildup of this so-called seasoning. Since none of the parts are dishwasher safe and cannot be immersed in water, an excessively dirty kettle just might be an explanation. Thankfully, there are concession supply websites that offer popcorn kettle cleaners. Because we haven't been using our popper for long, our approach thus far is to simply to wipe the interior down with a mixture of water and vinegar. (But don't use anything but a damp cloth on the painted surfaces!)
The assembly instructions aren't the best, but our box shipped complete with no missing parts. It took about 40 minutes to assemble using the included diagram/instructions. Assembly tools are included but for a Phillips screwdriver.
Bottom line? This popcorn machine does what it claims to do. It fills the air with the smell of popcorn in a way no microwave popcorn can. It produces tastier results than any other popper we have used. What's not to love?

Presto Orville Redenbacher's Stirring Popper Review

Presto Orville Redenbacher's Stirring Popper
Average Reviews:

Pros: Great popper, first time we used it, popped every single kernel with none of that burnt microwave 'flavor'. It is very easy to use, and is easy to clean.
Cons: Even though it has vents in the lid to allow steam to escape, the popcorn still always seems a little chewy. I'm hoping its just my inexperience with using it.

Pops delicious kettle corn with that genuine old-fashioned taste. Just add sugar and salt before you pop. Makes a heart healthy snack. Popcorn is high in antioxidants which can help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Base nests inside cover for compact storage.
