Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The maker is sturdy and is a great conversation piece. The pre-configured popcorn packs make this very easy for our events. Our favorite though is the hoosier hill farm mushroom popcorn bought on amazon.

Some other popcorn makers use a spindle and a spring cotter pin as the kettle hinge. The kettle heats up much faster than the old one. We now have the option of ordering a replacement kettle to give us a spare unit should we need to replace one at our...  Read More

It fits well in a collapsible wagon, so that's a plus. Takes up about 1/2 of our 6' folding table. It's big and pops a lot of popcorn but we have the space. I work a large school concessions stand.



Cons

The warranty is misleading. It says five years but the small print says 30 days on consumable parts which is practically everything else.

They actually only have a 30 day warranty on the kettle, heater, stirrer, etc. The number of people needing their kettle repair program is a huge indicator of how cheaply these products are made.

The customer help center is nonexistent. Even more frustrating. Amazon gives me no way to contact seller! Now that i have read reviews it appears that this problem is quite prolific.

Packaging/appearance


The machine was well packaged and nothing was broke or dented.


It is very pretty and we were happy it came with 3 plastic popcorn buckets, lots of popcorn bags and a scoop, salt shaker and m...  Read More


Besides all the items needed for assembly the package also came with a salt shaker, scoop, measuring cups, popcorn bags and reusable boxes.


This popper came well packed and as has been stated in other reviews, it is heavy.

Competitiveness


The machine is simple to use, easy to clean, cheaper and superior to the other model i had.


Well, not only did great northern ship this to me in the 50th state, but their machine is superior to the other machine!


Some other popcorn makers use a spindle and a spring cotter pin as the kettle hinge.
