5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased with purchase and with popcorn

We love this machine. It is all glass and steel construction (except the door which is plexi glass, so it is extremely durable and feels very sturdy. Makes plenty of popcorn for my husband and I; however, if you need popcorn for more than 2 it take two rounds to make enough popcorn...but it only takes about 3 minutes to make so I can't complain. The appearance of the machine really compliments our movie room and I truly find clean up to be a breeze. I would HIGHLY recommend this machine on all levels and we don't really have any negative comments about it yet. We have been using it for around 2 months and have made popcorn at least 3 times a week since we purchased it. (Originally posted Feb. 2012)

Update: We have had the machine a little over a year now and still love it. It functions perfectly. Honestly, as long as one makes a conscious effort to clean it after use (or after a few uses) it does great. I have no complaints. If it is not cleaned regularly though, the glass sides and plastic door will get oil stains that are hard to remove, but not impossible. (Which is going to happen with all machines and is more of an aesthetic issue than functionality issue.) We use this machine very regularly, at least weekly. We love the quality of taste and the ease of use. (Side note: I recommend coconut oil to all others for light tasty popcorn.). One batch is plenty for our family of three, but for more adults, you may need a second batch. It is a lovely addition to our movie nights and I would still recommend. (Posted Mar. 2013)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great home popper

I have been checking out these Paramount popcorn makers on Amazon for quite some time. I was very pleased to find the 8 oz. model at such a competitive price before the holidays. The vendor, Alpha Electronics, shipped the unit immediately 12 hours after purchase. I didn't expect to receive the product before Christmas and it showed up today. Everything was packaged immaculately, too. Talk about great customer service.

The popper works as advertised and makes great theater style popcorn in the comfort of your home. The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five, is because some unwanted kernels fall on the sides of the machine and not in the removable tray in the middle. I recommend laying down a few paper towels inside the bottom of the machine to ease the cleaning process. The kettle itself is actually pretty easy to clean. You detach it, wipe off the excess oils & corn, fill with hot water, and let it boil inside the machine for 2 minutes. The water can then be dumped into a bowl and the kettle is done.

I highly recommend purchasing the pre-portioned kernels, coconut oil, and salt packages. Amazon has a number of different brands to choose from. Based on the reviews, I went with Great Northern and had a positive experience. Very tasty.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK, but spends more time on the shelf than being used
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2012

Bought this machine thinking we'd get an easy way to make some nice popcorn. It does indeed make good popcorn, but it doesn't make a whole lot at a time and certainly doesn't stay warm after it's popped so make it and eat it immediately.

Doesn't make a whole lot at a time either, so takes a while to pop for a family of 6.

The control switch on the front to turn on the warming light stopped working within the first few weeks (cheap plastic switch) but the other one, that controls the popper itself, is still working.

On the whole, even though it seemed like a good idea at the time, it seems to rarely be used several months later and spends more time on top of the freezer that doing what it's supposed to be doing.

A solid "Meh" on this one.

It seems that often scaled down consumer versions of commercial machines dont always work as advertised - this does. Ive been using the premeasured popcorn packs from great northern and its just like theater popcorn. Clean up is pretty simple. If you have a home theater - the thing will put it over the top. Fun to watch, simple to use, popcorn is 1000x better than microwaved and the packs are about $1 per batch. Construction seems fairly solid. Only had it a couple weeks, but i expect it to hold up.

2.0 out of 5 stars Deluxe 4oz Red Popcorn Maker Machine by Paramount Entertainment - New Full Size 4 oz Popper
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2011

I rated this popcorn maker with two stars for the follow reasons.

1. The warmer light (only a 60 watt bulb) is woefully inadequate to keep the popcorn warm; it just provides a little light. We tried popping several batches of popcorn for family movie night and the popcorn was cold by the time we had enough for everyone.
2. The "Full Size" should say "1/8 Size" popcorn maker, this machine makes enough popcorn for one person.
3. A "Full Size" popcorn maker is 32oz, like what we used at the store where I use to work.

I purchased the machine thinking it would make enough popcorn for my family, and boy was I wrong. If you are purchasing this for one or two person at the very most you will be happy with it. But if you are purchasing this for a family movie night at home then look else, because this machine cannot make popcorn fast enough neither can it keep popcorn warm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Popcorn
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2012

Just as suggested, following the directions explicitly and using quality popcorn yields an abundance of well popped, true movie quality popcorn. Quite a treat. Only wish I had opted for a slightly bigger one. Unit seems to be made well of sturdy parts although the door is not glass. Easy enough to use and clean. I recommend it after the first few weeks.

Revision. Cleaning is more a chore than expected and has led to disuse.
