Nostalgia Coca-Cola Popcorn Maker Machine - Professional Tabletop With 2.5 Oz Kettle Makes Up to 10 Cups - Vintage Popcorn Machine Movie Theater Style - Coke Red

The media could not be loaded. I've been wanting this machine since 2020, but didn't have enough space for it. Well, we bought a home and we turned our 2nd bedroom into a movie room! It's small, but we wanted a small unit since our space was small. It fit perfectly behind the door. It's plastic, but for what you pay It's good quality. Would recommend using the hand held screwdriver that it comes with vs electric bc the power drill can over tighten it and crack the plastic. So far, it works well and makes good popcorn! Love the smell of the popcorn when it's going. Feels like you're at the theaters. Only con is I wish there was a way to keep the popcorn warm when its sitting or tht it was hotter coming out the pot. Overall, would recommend.

My house smells like a movie theater, my whole family loves this machine!

Earns 1 star for how easy it is to use.Earns 1 star for its volume. It pops enough for 2-3 people per run.Earns 1 star for setup. It easily assembles.Earns 1 star for how nice it looks. It's a nice compact design.Loses .5 star for being two separate pieces with no way to lock them together, somewhat defeating the whole purpose of it being on a moving cart.Loses .5 star because the bottom shute/door does not provide adequate coverage. There are the rather large gaps, just big enough for popcorn to escape, and for moths / bugs to make their way in even with a short usage duration. If a single moth makes it inside your house, and the light is on, odds are it will make it into the machine quickly.Also beware, the scoops that were recommended by Amazon do not fit the door, so check measurements.The two switches on the side illuminate when active, which is fantastic. The only thing missing is a timer or end-switch that terminates when the batch is done popping. You have to manually stop it and dump the ladle, which isn't so bad, but if you aren't watching it closely you can burn the last 10% of a batch.This thing does output a bit of steam, just enough to fog nearby appliances/electronics so keep it away from sensitive hardware. Other than that it's an excellent addition to any home theater / man cave etc.

My wife bought this for me as an early Christmas present. We love how it looks in our kitchen and it does a good job of popping the corn. To clean out the kettle of anything stuck inside, my wife placed a bowl underneath, then tilted the popper and wiped out the inside with a slightly damp paper towel. This way there won’t be anything inside to burn when you preheat the popper for the next batch of popcorn.Putting it together is another story. I have never seen directions that are so poor or lacking in detail. I will offer a few of my suggestions. First remove the kettle from inside the main unit. Kettle is packed in Styrofoam. Only way to get the kettle out is to pull the kettle straight up and out of the Styrofoam. It is tight. You really have to pull. The Styrofoam can now be titled and taken out. Wipe out the inside of the main unit and the kettle itself.Assembly: Inside the box are 2 basic wrenches and 1 quality screwdriver for assembly. Be aware that the two washers, nuts and screws will be fastened together in the package for the handle. They are not separate pieces to find. You will have extra #4 screws.In Step 1 the bottom plate is solid and the flat side will face up. The top cover has two pieces. Once the top cover is screwed on the other piece snaps in place. During this step I tilted the Compartment G on its side to make it easier to find the holes in the cover plates. The screwdriver supplied will work but it's a tight fit and the screws are very small so it's easier to tilt it on its side to find the holes and put the screws in. Also realize that you have to apply pressure to put the screws in. Some screws will not work so I believe that is why you get extra. In Step 3 make sure the edges of the outside of the door are over compartment G before you fasten the door at the top and bottom with screws. In Step 4 make sure the bar is attached to the inside of the wheel. In Step 4 find the end of the support bar with the small hole and slide it over the push pin on the rod that is now attached to the wheel. In Step 9 it will take 2 people to slide the assembled storage compartment G over the 4 rods. Push it all the way down until the support bars touch the top cover plate. Place the main unit on top of the storage compartment and then flip the 2 spring loaded rods underneath the main unit and it will 'lock' into place. After you plug the electric cord to the kettle it is easier to place the kettle inside the unit by tilting it and placing the left side in its slot first. Attach the crank handle knowing that the handle is screwed in counterclockwise. There is a push button on the door to the main compartment. To keep the front fold out door closed you must push it in first and then close the main door. Finally you are ready to enjoy your popcorn.

We bought this for my husband and son’s FIRST shared birthday. It was a destination carnival theme! We paired it with popping oil and theatre specific flavoring salt! We also grabbed some popcorn bags off of Amazon. The party was great and this popcorn machine made it a hit with the kids and parents!Super easy to assemble/disassemble. That was a HUGE plus for us. The also offer it on discount every so often! I recommend stabbing the ones with the cart! We hooked it up in our garage playroom and make popcorn for movies on the projector. Never going back to microwaved popcorn!

If you were expecting to become a popcorn street vendor and wheel this cart through the streets of LA, you will be disappointed at its sturdiness. If you were expecting to get a family sized machine for $120 that sits in a corner and is turned on for movie nights, all will be well! The size is great - small enough to hide away in a corner, closet or walk in pantry when not being used. Works great and it was very easy to clean after use. We used the 2.5 ounce All in One bags and there was very little wasted kernels and enough popcorn to satisfy three kids. I really think a lot of the negative reviews for this machine are from people misusing it. Follow the instructions and take your time putting it together. Let the kettle heat up the oil for 4-5 minutes before putting in the kernels. Don’t overfill it with kernels. Clean it within an hour of use. Treat it gently. You’ll be fine.
