Nostalgia Popcorn Machine Cart, Stainless Steel Vintage Popcorn Maker Cart, Makes 32 Cups, Red

I bought the first one about a month ago. I read several of the comments here before purchasing and while the negative comments may be justifiable to those that had a bad experience, I still thought I would give this machine a try simply because Walmart beat everyone else's price and there were a lot of positive comments. I am glad I made the initial purchase! It was very easy to assemble, it looks great and best of all, it pops great popcorn! We use Gold Medal 4 oz. pre-mix (Coconut Oil & kernals) along with a 1/2 teaspoon of Flavacol for excellent movie theatre popcorn. While your at Walmart you can also pick up several different popcorn seasonings like White Cheddar, Butter, Kettle Corn, Jalapeno, etc. Clean up takes about 15-20 minutes with a moist paper towel and a cheap 1 inch paint brush similar to what you would use to baste bbq sauce. Empty all the left over popcorn (if there is any) with the plastic scoop provided and use the brush to sweep all the remaining popcorn pieces and unpopped kernals into the convenient catch tray and then wipe down everything with paper towels. Remove the kettle and clean in a similar fashion. As for moving the machine around, it has latches that attach and secure the machine to the cart and is very easy to move without fear of the machine turning over or separating from the base. This is a very good machine for home use in my opinion. For $15 more, you can purchase the 2 year extended warranty to ease your concerns. I liked this machine so much, I recently bought another one to give away at our annual car show (www.bayshorefinerides.net). Based on my experience with this popcorn machine, I would reccomend it to anyone for home or light use. The free site to store shipping is also a big plus!

My husband and I put this together and it was pretty easy after we fixed one of the parts. There are two braces on which to attach the wheels, one right and one left. We were sent two rights or lefts so couldn't assemble the unit. We didn't want to go thru the trouble of returning and or exchanging the product (which WalMart would gladly have done) so we went to a local welder and had him move one of the brackets to the other side thereby making a righty and a lefty. After that it assembled very easily. We were excited to make our first batch of popcorn and weren't disappointed. We used Orville Redenbacher's popcorn and it worked really well. We followed the directions and used one scooper full (1/4 cup) which made much more than we could eat so we saved the rest for later. It was just like at the movies but we were at home! Clean up was also easy afterward..just used a damp microfiber cloth to wipe it down and it was done. It doesn't take up too much space and looks really nice. Hopefully it will hold up well but I expect it will. We're very satisfied at this time and only wish there were more of us so we could use it more!
