Pros & Cons
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.

Price
We might still get a second one next season given the great price and speed and great popped result.
We use this to make fresh popcorn for sale at the little league snack shack.
I can say that for the price this is an unbelievably nice popper.
Found this on sale and bought for our loft.
Shipping
We bought two popcorn machines and one was damaged when received (from shippin).
This was delivered on thursday and my husband has already made 7 batches of popcorn in 4 days.

Received this item quickly, as promised, and one thing i noticed right away was that even though the kettle size was the same a... Read More
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.
