I had one of these small machines in the past. They work well, but they are SMALL and need to make multiple batches if its more than just you.
The plastic panels were a bit of a pain to clean (get your arm around back of the kettle brakets), and i noticed that towards the bottom of the plastic panels, hot kernels had melted a bit of the plastic. I gave it away when i upgraded to this one https://smile.amazon.com/gp/produ...UTF8&psc=1
If you are serious about popcorn, just pony up and get this one. Heats up rediculously fast and makes great popcorn.
Pro-tip: Go to smart and final and get Flavacol, Popping Oil, and Topping oil....its the cheapest i've found.
My son has a 'theater room,' and we have movie nights with this popcorn machine popping away. We love it. But ....it only makes sense if you're actually going to use it enough so it doesn't sit on a shelf for 90% of the time.
3 Tbsp coconut oil, 3/4c kernels, 1tsp Flavacol (heaping), and a few pumps of Snappy Butter Burst one popped. Tastes JUST like a movie theatre. And cleanup is simple.
I have wanted one of these things forever! You prompted me to try one out. I saw that UntilGone.com has it for $24.99 after coupon[untilgone.com], so I figured I'd buy it at that price. I have never bought from them, but TrustPilot has a 4.1 out of 5 review rating on them.
Stove top popcorn is super simple, but this does have a certain allure to it since I absolutely love popcorn.
Best "recipe" is 2 tbsp coconut oil, 1 tsp flavacol, and 1/2 cup kernels. Makes a big bowl of popcorn. Also occasionally melt a couple tbsp of butter and combine, but not super necessary (especially with how much butter cost).

Got this delivered yesterday. put on the bar outside my theater room. looks nice. made the popcorn very well. I put more in it than they said and it still popped just fine. the kettle is easily removable if you want to give it a through cleaning. I dont really see that as necessary very often.
We have this and our family loves it. We've made popcorn every way you can imagine and this does a good job and our kids enjoy it. The best popcorn to use is Snappy. https://www.snappypopcorn.com We've tried every brand and had some at a state park that was amazing. Turns out they use Snappy which is used at most concessions. The stuff is amazing!
