167 customers mention12 positive155 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the damage of the popcorn popper. They mention that the metal was warped, shattered, and dented. The crooked hinge and the damaged scooper were obvious defects. The kernel tray is mangled, and the opening to the drawer had a big dent. The original unit was bent on the bottom, which prevented the kernel gray from being inserted. The top pin on the door was bent, and a broken warming bulb was also found.

"...We opened the box to the popcorn maker to find shattered glass from the light bulb everywhere!!!..." Read more

"...In my unit, the arms were bent upwards at the edges and didn't do a good job of stirring all of the kernels...." Read more

"...Additionally, the bulb housing should screw together, but the threads pop loose whenever it gets tighter, therefore the bulb will always be loose..." Read more

"...However, the top pin on the door was bent...." Read more

Confusing instructions but eventually made great popcorn!

Confusing instructions but eventually made great popcorn!
Maybe this is obvious to folks who make stovetop popcorn, but I'll share my story for any other newbies interested in this machine. I excitedly unboxed everything when the machine arrived and was able to put it together very quickly. The included bags and scoop were a nice touch. The included measuring utensils would have been more helpful if they were marked, or if their use was referenced in the instructions.After assembling and wiping the surfaces down, I followed the instructions in the manual by adding 1/2 Tbsp of the buttery coconut oil I had ordered (the maximum amount that should be used according to the manual), waiting for it to warm up, then pouring in a cup of the new kernels I had just bought. The kernels started popping and I waited for them to start spilling out of the kettle, but that didn't happen. When the popping stopped, I tipped the kettle over and was disappointed to find that over half of the kernels didn't pop.Disappointed, I chalked it up to a learning curve then noticed the instructions printed on the machine itself (which are hard to read because they are just black text on clear glass) say to use 1 TBSP of oil for every 1/2 cup of kernels. Despite this being double the amount that the manual said not to exceed, I tried it but still ended up with 1/2 the kernels not popped.I went to the Great Northern website to look for troubleshooting tips and found instructions stating to use 1/3 cup of oil with 1 cup of kernels. This is more than 10 times the amount of oil the manual says not to exceed! However, I gave it a try and this time I got the results I was looking for. I also used Flavacol seasoning for the full-blown movie theater experience. Next I'm going to try some mushroom kernels and make caramel corn!

Surprised my kids with this machine for our family movie night. They loved it, and I loved it even more. It made amazing popcorn. The fact that the machine is not made of plastic is a huge plus. We already can't wait to use it again..
EDIT. Be extremely careful when cleaning, there are a few places that the metal is very Sharpe.
