I wanted to review this to give my experiences using this machine and to counter the voices suggesting this is hard to clean. Like others when I was first reviewing my options, one of the reoccurring comments that I kept reading, was fear of having to clean it after use. I can assure you it is easy and takes only 10-15 minutes to completely clean and sanitize.
This machine arrived on time and was easy to put together. I read reviews on what popcorn, oil, supplies to buy and settled on the following: I use the Great Northern 4oz All-in-one packs (popcorn, flavonoid salt and coconut oil) even though this is an 8oz Popcorn Machine - that is plenty of popcorn for 2-4 people. I also use the Snappy Butter Burst Popcorn butter / oil to drizzle on afterwards - it makes it just like theater popcorn! My pro-tip: I use half of the flavonoid salt in the GN All-in-one pack and it is perfect!
Follow the provided directions to make: The left button is a warming light and also warms the bottom. Turn on the right button to heat the kettle and start the turning arm, for only two minutes, then switch it off, while you add your oil and salt. When it has melted, add your popcorn. Then turn back on the right switch. It will take approximately 3 more minutes to pop. Once the popping has slowed down to the last kernels (about a few pops every few seconds) turn off right switch and dump the kettle’s remaining kernels. That’s it! The kettle gets very hot quickly, so extended use or leaving it on will burn the oil and or popcorn.
The cleaning is straightforward. I thoroughly clean the machine after 4-6 uses. Following each use, I will clean out the leftover popcorn and kernels and wipe the bottom of the machine with a water wet paper towel. When I clean out the entire thing (I have used several methods - found good idea from a guy on YouTube that steam cleans it). But ultimately, it is easy to just remove the kettle take it to the sink and clean it like any other pot. Then I use a vinegar and water mix 1/3 Vinegar and wash out the inside sides, top and bottom using paper towels. It works well and is quick and easy. I use windex on the outside only.
Good luck and don’t forget the Snappy Butter Burst - it makes the popcorn even better! Enjoy.

Makes delicious popcorn!
Pro’s: Easy to use. Movie Theater Popcorn at home. Easy to clean. Storage compartment for popcorn essentials.Con’s: the candy dispenser is too small. Peanut M&M, and Mike &Ikes were too big to dispense so this feature is pretty useless.If you don’t care about the candy as much (like me) and are a popcorn lover…this is the best treat I have purchased for myself, that I occasionally share with the family;)

I like how heavy and sturdy this popcorn machine is and the size is perfect, not too big and not too small. Not cheap looking at all, well worth the price. I am sad that it arrived completely bent up. Takes away from the overall look. For the price I am not happy to have received a damaged product, way too heavy to be returned for a replacement. Was packaged fairly well so it really had to of been thrown around for this to happen. Not the fault of the shipper though. I haven't used this yet so I am giving 4 stars! I am basing it off initial opening.
