Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Cart, Vintage Movie Theater Popcorn Machine with Built-In Storage, Red

Okay folks, this is such a cute item. We have been talking about getting a home popcorn machine for a year or so. My worries were that it would be very cute but how durable is it and will the popcorn taste like the movie theater popcorn? First, the popcorn tastes like the movies for sure. We decided to buy a kit, that has popcorn, popcorn salt, the oil and a few disposable paper bags. It will need this kit and there is several to pick from. Because of the kit purchase the item cost around $150,00 a $160.00 all together, (that's without shipping and handling, and tax). We bought popcorn buckets that can be reused but you don't NEED that, a bowl is fine. It takes very little popcorn salt to salt your popcorn. I have a family of 5 and it takes 3 batches to get everyone popcorn. The process and time it takes to do each batch is very do-able. The machine is easier to clean than I thought it would be, so that's awesome! The machine is a small version of the movies. I wish I would have bought it sooner because having the movie popcorn at home really helps us enjoy movies at home. I think this is well worth having but it is delicate in some ways so handle with care and it will last a long time. We love ours!!
