Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nostalgia CCP509 Full-Size Popper
Customer Review: Exceeded our expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this popper as a 60th birthday gift for my father-in-law. We had seen a similar one for sale at Sam's club but missed out on buying one because they sold out. We found this one on Amazon and ordered it with a bit of hesitation since we had never actually seen one all put together and working. It had very positive reviews, though, so we took a chance and ordered it. My father-in-law could not be more pleased! He was able to put it together easily and it produced delicious popcorn immediately! It was a huge hit as a gift; something he always wanted. The price was very reasonable, we felt, and the free shipping was a bonus. A well-priced, attractive, functional item from which I'm sure he'll get years of enjoyment. It is a real conversation piece in his home.Customer Review: Excellent Popper for the price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I searched all over for a large Popcorn Popper. This was the lowest price. It took a little over 30 minutes to unpack it and assemble it. I moved it into the house and started making popcorn shortly after. It looks nice sitting in our living room. That's the location of where we watch movies. If you want to make as much popcorn as the show in the pictures you would need to make 3-4 batches. Like some of the other reviews I notice if you put to much oil or to many popcorn seeds then it will jam up and burn your popcorn. Yes, the little pre-measured packets are good and the taste is excellent but..... They are expensive and I am cheap. I bought a big 50 pound bag of popcorn seeds for 18 dollars and our favorite so far is a product called POP-ALL this is the best popping oil. It's around 22 dollars and I think 2.5 gallons. It turns the popcorn a nice yellow color like movie theater popcorn. The kids love watching it pop and I like the smell that it fills the house with. Any popcorn that we don't eat we put outside for our chickens that love it also. Cleaning takes a few minuets. I wipe it down with a dishcloth with warm soapy water to break up the oil on the plastic windows. Then a few more times with just warm water. The pot unplugs and you can rinse it out. The inside of my pot is now dark brown from the oil and I can't get it cleaned. It does not affect anything I guess it's like having an iron skillet gives it flavor? The manual tells you to fill it with 2 cups of water and run it for 15 minutes doing that will steam the inside of the unit and you can wipe it down. It also made the very top of the front door that is made of plastic warp from the heat. I don't recommend closing the door while doing that to clean it. The holes in the bottom make it even better. After you cook the popcorn you stir it around and the kernels fall thru the holes into a tray so when you fill your bowl up you don't break your teeth on the hard kernels. Bottom line is I love this machine and would buy it again if I had to.Customer Review: Excellent Product!

This is such a fun item to have. If we have friends and family over to play pool, watch movies, or just hang out, we always have fresh popcorn available! Would definitely recommend this to a friend.Customer Review: Fashionista

I would have rated this machine 5 stars if it had come with popcorn but it doesn't so it gets 4 stars. This machine is so much fun to have in our home theatre room and it makes great popcorn. It's been a hugh success. We've added the popcorn novelties,buckets, bags,etc to go along with it. Everyone raves about the popcorn and says it taste just like the stuff you buy at the movies. Here's the secret.
Pop 1/2 of cup of kernels in 3 table spoons of COCONUT oil
Once fully popped, add salt and and a butter flavored oil topping to taste.
