Olde Midway Bar Style Popcorn Machine Maker Popper with 8-Ounce Kettle - Black

Got this for my wife for Xmas. We opened it early. She loves it. She doesn’t like many things. She has everything she wants. When I told her about it she thought I was crazy. Then it grew on her a bit. I ordered it and the whole family has used it daily for the past 2 weeks. She absolutely loves it. We got the flavacol and coconut oil. Then we got a variety pack of seasonings. We’ve got bags and it comes with all the accessories. This unit is easy to assemble and comes well packaged. The enclosure is glass, not plastic, and everything arrived securely packed and undamaged. And it was delivered by fedex so that should tell you something. The only thing that was a little wonky was the thin stainless door that opens in the front to access the popcorn. It was a little bent, but it’s thin so you can easily bend it into shape. It has the olde midway logo embossed in it. Also, assembly is very easy, there isn’t much to do. Hang the kettle on the metal tabs, (which are thinner than I expected), plug it in the ceiling of the unit. Insert the crumb tray, and hang the front glass panel on the hinges. This took some doing as it didn’t line up quite right and one of the holes was less than perfect, but it did go in. Plug it in the wall and you’re done. It really looks great. Aesthetically pleasing. Everyone has good memories related to a popcorn machine and the smell. This brings that into your home. Good vibes. Good feng shui. Nice to look at with the light on from a distance. You can pop up to 1 cup of kernels at a time, which makes a pretty big load of popcorn. And yes, with the forementioned ingredients, it IS movie popcorn. And I STRONGLY recommend hulless popcorn. Orville redenbacher is not optimal. Tastes great, but lots of husks. Cleaning thoroughly will take some time. Plan on spending a half hour wiping down surfaces, and detaching the kettle and cleaning that. Do not submerge in water! The heater is attached to the side! Great machine. You’ll forget about the cost in the first 5 minutes. Kids love it. Teens love it. Fairly healthy snack. Strongly recommend. But Made in China, not USA

The media could not be loaded.  If you want perfect popcorn every time?? This is the machine for everyone.......Easy to clean - Every popcorn machine takes a little patience to clean correctly. Nothing new here folks.Easy to use - Follow the instructions or a YT video and you'll be a pro in two or three batches.Flavor - Excellent, Outstanding, Perfect !!! Easy on the salt, no butter required.Makes sure you do two or three batches before serving your family and friends to 'season' the unit, and you'll be on your way to "Popcorn" perfection.

I spent some time looking over reviews and this was was rated well, however, it was considered expensive if purchased with the cart. Since we had a table the cart was not needed, which put the price right in our wheelhouse. It is boxed well, with nothing loose inside. It's well constructed, and glass all around. it's easy to put together as well, with the minor exception of putting on the glass door. That was a little difficult to get in the hinges, but it may have been me more than the how it was made, so I won't ding the machine in this review for that. It makes great popcorn, and works as advertised. One thing: when making popcorn, it references one tablespoon per half cup, but that didn't work the best for us. For the best/ maximum pop, we use 1/4 cup of popping oil, with one full cup of popcorn. That gave us maximum pop, with no residual oil left over in the kettle. It may also depend on the oil used, and we use Snappy Popcorn Butter Burst Oil in case you care to attempt to duplicate our results. Overall we're very satisfied.

This machine works great but the door and closing magnet is off enough to make keeping the door closed a bit finicky. It has not come open by itself yet but it must be closed with care or it will bounce open with even the lightest of closings. This seems to be a chronic problem on this maching judging from the reviews. The glass is designed to be open along the top to allow steam to escape but the gap makes it a "reach" for the magnet on the door frame and the metal button on the glass so it only contacts a portion of the button when closed. This situation does not allow full use of the magnets strength to hold the door closed. It is not a huge problem as long as the door does stay shut but it would seem a simple design change would fix the problem and they would quit getting these reviews mentioning the door fitment. Over all so far so good. It makes plenty of pop corn for a bunch of people and probably is a good size for a small concession stand or fund raiser situation. Despite the annoying door problem I would buy it again as it works just could be better in design. The pop corn it does make is noticeably better than the last smaller machine we had...

This popcorn machine is the best. We had no idea what we were missing. My husband would often purchase buckets of popcorn from the movie theater and bring home to enjoy. With those prices, this paid for itself and the popcorn tastes much better! Start to finish, the preparation is quick and easy. Looks so nice with the warming light on. Clean up is a breeze. I just wipe with a warm, damp cloth after each use to keep the glass clear and great looking.

I didn’t get it with the stand, so it was pretty much assembled out the box, just had to put on the door. The instructions say 2 tablespoons of oil for 1 cup of popcorn..that’s fine if u want to burn the popcorn. I watched a few YouTube videos and googled ratio. 1/3 cup of oil to 1 cup of popcorn is PERFECT! Machine is easy to clean and works great.

This is a mini popcorn maker for your house. It looks and works just like the ones at the theater. Pops fast and hot! The quality of all parts is top notch. It's easy to assemble and easy to disassemble (to remove the pan) for cleaning. Glass and stainless steel are easy to clean. Love the kernel drawer - just scoop over the screen and any kernels disappear. Just dump the kernel drawer to get rid of them when you're done.
