Pros & Cons
Pros
This popcorn popper is awesome. Makes much better popcorn than microwave. The warmer where you put the popcorn and butter can be a little challenging to use due to the arm that connects to the side of the warmer to the top of the machine.
It was packaged well in hopes to prevent damage while shipping. Easy to assemble.
Make sure to turn on rotator immediately. It pops quick. The cooking pan unplugs and pops out easily to wash. Great northern also offers prepackaged kernels and oil.
The kids think its the coolest. It's perfect for our new movie theatre snack bar! Wife says i am eccentric.
Cons
Second unit has the same issues, and after a few hundred dollars later in shipping i had another dud. The instructions never tell you which side the wheels should be on, perhaps because the right answer is the one that the screws are least misaligned.... Read More
Highlights
Quality
The popper is sturdy, easy to clean and easy to maintain.
It's very well made and i would highly recommend it!
This took me 2 hours to assemble, compounded by deficient instructions and poor workmanship on the parts.
Plastic will start to warp and discolor over time.
Price
Very easy to repace with a new switch from home depot for a few dollars.
Well when i saw the deal from discount tommy on this one i just couldn't pass it up!
It was hands down the best price for a unit of this size.
I would tell anybody to get one for the price.
Shipping
We contacted great northern and they shipped out a whole new tire/wheel assembly right away!
Machine arrived on time and was easy to assemble.
It went nonstop for five hours using 8oz popcorn at a time.
Returned it immediately & received the replacement in february, which was also damaged, glass on the back was broken.
Packaging/appearance
I was fortunate to receive mine in pristine condition and assembly was pretty simple.
It was not the one i ordered originally, this one was black instead of red (originally ordered red), but it wasn't dented & the... Read More
I wrote to the company, and to their credit they responded the next morning and told me that 99% of the people that say they ar... Read More
The packaging was ok, not quite as heavy as i would have liked.
Competitiveness
Great northern also offers prepackaged kernels and oil, which made it really easy for our volunteers to operate.
There were less expensive models and more expensive models and it is impossible to figure out the difference.
I have found similar poppers that cost 3 times the amount!
) also the popcorn pops quickly compared to other units.

The pot is shallow and the unpopped kernels are forced out of the pot before they have an opportunity to pop
