Customer Review: Nostalgia Electric Corn Popper
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this corn popper to put in the waiting room of my barber shop, and make free popcorn available to my waiting customers. It does a very good job of popping the corn. The only two complaints I have with it are:
1. The stirring mechanism stops sometimes, and I have to dump some of the popping corn out of the pan, then it starts again. It doesn't do this very often, but I still have to watch it pretty close when the corn is popping.
2. And this is my biggest complaint, the lids that lift up when the corn is coming out, will stay up and not come down quite often, letting some of the unpopped kernals come out. When this happens, I have to open the door and push the lids back down.
I wouldn't let these two problems keep me from buying the popper, because it still does a good job.

We really like our popper...except A LOT of kernals do not get cooked and are spit out because both sides of the stainless steel pop open up when popcorn is cooking. We used the best popcorn, Orville Redenbocker, and almost 40% fo the kernals did not pop. Other than this problem, we like the machine.Customer Review: Nostalgia Popcorn popper

I was disappointed in the popper. First off they use platic panels not glass for the popping machine, easily scratched and stained. The cart is ok made of tin, but you can see where they painted over rust spots, should only be a matter of time before rust eats its way through. The worst part though is the actual popping bowl itself, The auto stirring wand binds up when the corn starts popping, it appears the motor isn't strong enough to push through the popped corn and expell it from the bowl. When I pop the corn I must stand there and watch for the stirer to bind up turn off the machine dump the popped corn restart and continue until all corn is popped. What a Hassle!!Customer Review: Perfect addition to the game room!
Summary: 5 Stars
Through the past few years, we've been slowly building our game room, piece by piece. Pool table, check, poker table, check, Packinko machine, got 2, check, Pakhislo slot machine, check. Our final piece of the puzzle would be this popcorn machine. It's a great little machine. I read others talking about how cheap it seemed, but that wasn't the case for us. Sure, it's not going to withstand someone standing on top of it jumping up and down; if that's what you're looking for, continue your search! But, if you're looking for an inexpensive, easy to operate home theater/game room popcorn machine, this is probably what you're wanting.
The package arrived in 2 separate cartons. Setup and installation was quick and easy - they even provide you with the necessary tools. After about 15 minutes, we plugged the machine in, turned on the light, turned on the kettle, and after a few minutes, the stirring arm started to move (We initially thought something was wrong - but after the machine warms up, THEN the sirtting arm begins to work). We dumped in a premeasured 4 oz. popcorn pack, and in a few minutes, the aroma of freshly popped popcorn filled the room.
All in all, with free shipping, and $25 off special, this machine was purchased for under $300, a bargain compared to other machines. Easy to recommend this quality, inexpensive machine.
