Stir Crazy Movie Theater Popcorn Popper, Popcorn Maker Machine with Nonstick Popcorn Kettle, Measuring Tool and Popcorn Scoop for Popcorn Machine, 4 Qt., Red

I had never used a popcorn machine personally but I have seen them used so I had a general idea of how they work. The directions to put it together were lacking. That is a fairly minor negative imo. Other than putting it together, it is very easy to start using. We use 2 large scoops of kernels, 2 tbsp of oil, and 1 tsp of seasoning salt. Popcorn comes out great as long as I spread out the oil and seasoning, if not only the kernels that it was poured on will be seasoned and it will be way too much. Pops fairly quickly, only like 3-4 mins at most to make a large amount. We used this 2 times before using it to make popcorn for a neighborhood movie night. Worked so well! It’s fairly easy to clean thankfully because I was concerned about that. Overall very happy with this popcorn maker.

This popcorn machine is a great purchase. It takes less than 3 minutes to assemble. The machine is sturdy and well made. It is the perfect size to sit on the countertop without taking up too much space. It pops perfect popcorn every time, proving enough popcorn for a family of 4 to enjoy. We use the machine at least once a week. Cleanup is very easy.

Great machine.. pops fast and worked good perfect for movie night can serve up to 5 people at once

what it’s worth for a pop corn person a lot lol I can’t tell you how cute my husband‘s face looked when he seen the light on the popcorn machine in the kitchen. He loves it took me half an hour to make popcorn. Can you believe that most of it was putting the thing together tricky.dogs all three zoomys for the 15 pop corn smell in house.we used the popcorn oil .wasn’t happy with it.will try other oils .the only thing I hated was the plastic front shield does not keep the popcorn behind the door when it opens.might want to clean the counter first lol. can I make popcorn cheaper absolutely ,at our age we can afford it. Wouldn’t make an amazing game room up grade . be sure you have a few dogs in the house to pick up those extra popcorn pieces that everyone seems to drop on the floor. Dogs are better than mops. Kids be care very hot .would not use without supervision for younger kids.bigger then we thought price was worth the look on my husband face alone .that being said you could pop it in micro wave in a few minutes lol I hope it goes well.if it blows up I will be back .make a nice gift for the pop corn lover in your neck of the woods.it isn’t glass hard plastic.one thing we hate no warming tray or light

I love popcorn. I prefer movie theater popcorn so i make my own. This is the third popcorn popper that i have tried. The first one broke after a few months. The second one was trash because it was a bad design and no matter how hard I tried, the heating coils would get the popcorn oil on it. I have to say the other two were not West Bend models. They were, however, pretty big name brands. I have always wanted the popper that looks like the ones at the movie theaters but not so bulky. I am so glad I found this one. The price was right and the size is perfect. I do purchase the butter popping oil and the popcorn salt to make sure tis exactly like the popcorn you can get at the theaters. A few weeks ago I had some guest in from out of town and I fired up my West Bend popcorn maker and they were all excited and impressed. Needless to say they were all on Amazon ordering their own West Bend popcorn maker. It is easy to use and my favorite part is- easier to clean. It makes the perfect amount of popcorn so everyone can have some and none goes to waste, I highly recommend splurging on the good popcorn butter oil and good popcorn salt and a good brand of popcorn kernels. If you want that traditional movie theater experience then splurge a little on your popcorn seed and the oil.

Looks just like the photo, bigger than expected, delivery was quick and it works good .Easy to assemble

Knowing what to send my adult kids for Christmas has always been a puzzle for me. My daughter and husband received just the perfect item this year. They have enjoyed many movie nights with their grandchildren. Yep,this year I picked the perfect gift, the West Bend Stir Crazy Movie Theater Popcon Popper. This is making movie night a real treat and fun,.... I'm so glad this was the product I choose, my gift just keeps on giving or should I say popping.

I've had 3 compact popcorn machines prior to this 4th one and I had a 1/4 size of the full size movie theater one, same ones you find at a 7-eleven stores. Being this is the 4th, this was also second the the cheapest qualities I've used. I know about sizes but this was the smallest one where you can actually get burned because not much space from kettle to the inside where your popcorn is at. Second, out of all 4 compact poppers, this had the least power, thereby resulting in hard popcorn, when compared with popping to other machines that had above 500W they performed crunchy popcorn. Keep that in mind when buying, look for quality parts, stainless steel, and at least above 600watts, spacing is important and also having 3 switches if you can find under $100. Most are above, one for warming/light, 2nd for stirring, and 3rd switch for heating the kettle. I find it hard to recommend this after having a total of 5 popcorn machines...

It looks Great, and for the price is great value. I was excited to try it out, here’s the drawback, it must have a 110/60Hz/480VA supply, so I’ll have to wait for Amazon to deliver it at an additional cost of £35. Maybe I’ll write an update when I can plug it in and test it thoroughly. Update, transformer arrived on Schedule, and set it up for a test run yesterday evening. I added two tbsp of Ghee (clarified butter) and 1/2tsp of Flavorcol, 1/4tsp of butter salt spice. And switched it on. It functioned as advertised and the POPCORN LED banner illuminated (looked great) After two or three minutes, continuous popping could be heard and was forcing its way out of the kettle into the cabinet. Once I heard a two, three second gap in popping I switched off the machine. I emptied the kettle as instructed and most popcorn fell into the cabinet. You will have to use the scoop to push out rest of the popcorn. Tried it and tasted as expected, you can add more flavouring at this stage to your personal liking. Mix well in the cabinet or a large serving bowl and enjoy. It made my evening. Pro’s - didn’t burn in the slightest, colour great, tasted great, nice crunch and un- popped kernels drop into a catch trap.—

Warum kann man nicht einfach darauf aufmerksam machen, dass es ein US-Stecker ist der mitgeliefert wird. Man hätte ja gleich einen passenden Stecker dazu bestellen können. Keine Ahnung ob die Maschine gut ist. Kann sie nicht probieren. Nachdem der Stecker da war, haben wir uns auf das Popcorn gefreut. Stecker in die Dose und los geht es. Doch plötzlich kam Qualm aus dem Topf. Ich habe den Deckel angehoben und eine Stichflamme schoss mir entgegen. Nachdem ich mir die Bedienungsanleitung nochmal genauer angesehen habe, habe ich gesehen, dass die Maschine für 120 V ausgelegt ist.

Not suitable for use in the uk seems to be a maximum output heating system which means uk voltage just burns and smokes due to it being higher than in the USA. Unfair to judge beyond that as it looked very good

Muy practica y de buen tamaño, funciona muy bien, muy facil de armar y ponerla a funcionar, hace las palomitas muy bien, en su punto exacto

This is a family farvite my boys absolutely love it..it always gets used easy to clean as well. Only thing to watch out for, was the Customs durty I got charged months after. From FedEx Ground. Was not swear of such charge was going to take place. So that was abit of a surprise and extra money spent. But overall still a very great product to have .
