Foundation Popcorn Maker Machine with Cart - 8oz Stainless Steel Kettle Makes up to 48 Cups - Movie Theater Style Vintage Popcorn Machine Cart on Wheels by Great Northern Popcorn (Black)

I bought 2 poppers, I plan to keep one for my self and gift the other to a family member. I bought this machine the Great Northern 8oz kettle, and from Temu I bought the Rovsun 8oz Keytle, both are nearly the same. However, the GreatNorthern shipped way faster about half the time and both were shipped from locations here in the states. I ordered the Great Northern from Amazon almost a full week after the Rovsun I ordered from Temu. It came within 5 days. The Rovsun took almost two weeks. The Great Northern on was far harder to assemble as the cabinet storage had to be built, where as the Rovsun they prebuilt this compartment for storage and it made the build much easier. Shaved about 30 min off of the build. The Great Northern has plastic scoops to measure and a nice big metal popcorn scoop, I love the popcorn scoop, the Rovsun has all metal scoops, while the popcorn scoop is smaller, I do love that it has a cute metal season salt shaker. As well the measure scoops are also metal. They both have 3 plastic popcorn cups, but the Great Northern also gave pop corn bags. Both have a removable kettle to make cleaning easier. Truth is I love both machines. They both look amazing. The Great Northern from Amazon was a little more expensive, than the Rovsun one from Temu, but they are almost the same machine slightly cosmetic difference, I chose to gift the great Northern and keep the Rovsun, both are super nice. Same size and measurements, I just like the look better in my space of the Rovsun as well as the light up of the top. If you need it fast both can be purchased from Amazon and they ship way faster! 5 Stars. Very pleased with this purchase.

Okay, listen—this popcorn machine is so good. I got tired of microwave bags and wanted something fun for movie nights with the kids, and this did not disappoint. Pops fast, barely any unpopped kernels, and the kids are obsessed. Plus, it’s kinda cute on the counter too. Super easy to clean (thank God), and now I’m the snack queen around here. 10/10 recommend.

*Only had this for a few days so this review is for the overall purchase and product thus far. I LOVE that I could get this in blue. VERY PRETTY AND DIFFERENT FROM WHAT PEOPLE ARE USED TO SEEING. I purchased for use at my medical clinic for special occasions and events, etc. We aren't a large office so an expensive commercial grade machine was not necessary. I decided to go ahead and get exactly what I wanted and pay the extra for the matching cart & popper set. Awesome!! Delivered free, fast, and not damaged. Assembly was easy all except getting the pot in place. It's just awkward because you can only work from one side but no biggie it went in after some maneuvering and was snug and stable. The first batch was easy as pie, just follow directions and use common sense. I found the second batch MUCH BETTER I suppose because the oil distributed better and the popcorn was a gorgeous buttery color through and through. First batch was great but I think that "seasoned the pot" in a way and they just got better after that. I used the all in one packets but to be perfectly honest, it will be easier to use popcorn from a jar or container & scoop it right into pot with a scoop or measuring cup. Same with oil and salt! Oil in packets is messy, I removed it and added it with a small ice cream scooper.. This worked perfectly as you don't have to keep scraping a spoon or squeezing that packet. Add about 2 scant teaspoons of yellow popcorn salt along with the oil!! Very easy to use, have a mitt or cloth beside you it gets HOT but that's a good thing! It looks very professional and sturdy, be careful as with anything it's not tornado proof. Overall this is a fabulous machine for anything short of a HUGE event or gathering!! Cleanup is Cleanup. Do it at the end of each day you use it, after it cools, and you'll make it stay beautiful for a long time. It's oil, salt and corn, it's gonna make a mess. Clean it well and treat it with respect and you'll love it !!!

This machine looks great, seems sturdy and is overall a good value.We have made 2 batches of popcorn so far.The first batch was not good, the second was better but still not as good as I expected it to be.I purchased a case of pre-measured popcorn from the manufacturer. I followed the manufacturer recommendation for which popcorn packs to purchase based on my specific machine. The popcorn packages include the recommended amount of popcorn, oil and seasoning.The instructions on the package of popcorn were different from the instructions included with the machine which made things tricky. I decided to follow the package instructions.The first batch started off good but then kernels that popped began to stick to the stirrer inside the kettle causing the popcorn to not stir properly and begin to burn. About 1/3 of the popcorn came out properly from the kettle and was good, then when it began burning I had to quickly dump the kettle causing the burnt popcorn to spill onto the good popcorn. Ruined batch. Only half of the kernels actually popped. Cleaning up the burnt popcorn from inside the kettle was a nightmare as the kettle lid cannot be removed all the way to access the inside of the kettle. Bad design!The second batch was much better in terms of actual popping and not burning. This time no popcorn jammed, everything popped except for a few kernels but the flavor was bland. Very boring and not nearly enough butter flavor.I am not sure what the issue is since the popcorn comes prepackaged with all needed ingredients.We will try again but it is annoying to throw away so much popcorn just to make a bag of microwave popcorn.Also, the popcorn bits get stuck between the side panels and the glass and it is extremely hard to clean it all out.

The media could not be loaded. This was the best thing we’ve ever purchased. It makes movie night so much more fun! It taste great, the kernels pop so perfectly!! Easy to use, and quality set up. If you’re looking for movie theater experience popcorn, you should invest. You’ll need a few things more to get the exact taste but you can make it as salty or buttery to your heart’s content.
