VEVOR Commercial Popcorn Machine, 8 Oz Kettle, 850 W Countertop Popcorn Maker for 48 Cups per Batch, Theater Style Popper with 3-Switch Control Steel Frame Tempered Glass Doors 2 Scoops 2 Spoons, Red

I’m very happy with this commercial popcorn machine. It heats up quickly, pops evenly, and makes fresh, delicious popcorn with very few unpopped kernels. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and works exactly as expected. Highly recommend!

Works great and is easy to set up and use. Have used at several functions and does a great job of making large quantity of popcorn.

We use this about every week and enjoy the popcorn. So far it has also been reliable and easy to clean.

Amazing popcorn maker. Works great and makes plenty of popcorn.

I have used these style of popcorn machines for nearly 10 years at home. When I recently moved, I was unable to take the last machine (and stand) with me, so it was about time I could replace my last 16 ounce popper. I was a bit reluctant to try an 8 ounce popper this time, but shipping costs and the machine costs, as well as never trying to the Vevor brand made me want to give the lower cost model a try. I wouldnt give this model 5 stars, but it is actually pretty good for the money. Pros: Low costs, decently packed (made it 8k miles of shipping without even a scratch), easy to assemble (though the manual could be improved on the actual popper, it has more instructions on the cart that wasnt on my model than the popper itself), pops pretty quickly, relatively easy to clean (they are all kind of the same), good amount of popcorn per batch. Cons: Smallish interior cabinet, hard to reach around the kettle without getting burned, initially if you dont adjust the kettle lid - it jams quite frequently, warmer could be more broad in coverage than the back left area, not a 12/16 ounce. Cleaning: For all those reviewers that say the unit is hard to clean, you might not be aware how to clean a popcorn machine of this style. All you need to do to clean the unit is just add about a quarter cup of water to the kettle and turn the warmer on. NO CHEMICALS AT ALL! Do not add anything to the water, no need for special "kettle cleaners" etc. Just some plain water in the kettle and let it heat up and create a lot of steam. This will make it very easy to wipe down the inside of the glass and surfaces with just steam and some paper towels, careful not to touch the kettle. When you get through the first amount of water, add a second bit of water to the kettle and possible a couple more paper towels into the kettle and this time turn on the stirrer for a bit. Keep an eye on the unit as you dont want to go too long with this part or run dry of water. You will notice the steam and paper towels make very quick work of left over burnt residue and black marks. After two passes you should be all clear. For the initial bit, before I steam at all, sometimes I run a small shop vac I have DEDICATED to the popcorn machine to get all the salt and loose kernels lying around to give it a nice clean and then steam. Generally I only do this about once every 3 months or so. Or as you see fit. Popcorn to use: For me, I prefer the premeasured popcorn you can find here on Amazon. Usually in packs of 24 or more. This already has the best amount of salt/butter flavoring/kernels for the machine. 8 ounce packs work perfect. Of course, you can use 4 or 6 ounce as well, it just wont have as much popcorn after completion. Many don't know, but the secret to true movie style theater popcorn is the kernels (have to be the best golden mushroom style), coconut oil (usually butter flavored), and Fold Medal Flavacol (butter flavored fine grain salt). These three ingredients, not burning it, and removing moisture during and after the pop are the key to the best popcorn you have ever tasted consistently. Tweaks I made for better results: I found that out of the box, the unit gets jammed up on my 8 ounce packs from too much popcorn being spun around by the stirrer before it gets a chance to get pushed out. The popcorn can jam up against the middle bar area between the kettle lid parts that get pushed upwards during popping. What worked for me is loosening the wing nuts holding the lid on the popper about 1/4 to half backed off the bolt. This allows the lid and center section to have some give when the stirrer moves the popcorn around and prevents (for the most part) binding on the shaft turning the stirrer. Before I made this tweak, it jammed every time and I had to manually stop the machine stirrer and force the stirring rod out and dump the popcorn out with lots of unpopped kernels. Thankfully I found a way around that. Also, the under tray popcorn warmer is not touching the bottom of the tray. I believe this is as intending, but it means that the heat transfer from the warmer is weak. I would not make the tweak I made here, if you intend to leave the warmer on for long periods (days), as I havent tested what happens then, but for short periods of time (hours) it works better to get the heat into the tray metal and transfer to the popcorn kernels sitting in the bottom of the chassis. Your results may vary. Love this machine, and I will eventually upgrade again to a 16 ounce unit, but for now, this will hold me over with great tasting popcorn like the theaters.

Very good quality for the price. The machine arrived well packaged, is easy to use, and heats up quickly. The popcorn comes out crispy and tastes just like movie theater popcorn. The size is perfect for small businesses, events, or family gatherings. It’s also very easy to clean and looks very professional. So far, it has been working perfectly without any issues. I highly recommend it!

So beside one minor flaw this thing is amazing! Only flaw, the heating light burned out upon first use of it, but that happens and the new bulb has zero issues. As for the machine we bought this to replace a Cuisinart 4oz popper that was so difficult to always clean we stopped using it. This one not only pops much better, more popcorn capacity, but cleaning a breeze with the stainless steel. Everything could of course be better and if it were priced higher I would expect that possibly, but for what you get and what you pay I can not think of many things on par with it. Possible reasons to buy a different brand and spend more (but be careful, many that cost much more are the same): The door that drops down is flimsy thin material and doesn't stay in the slots so well, easy to clean but you have to play with it often. The glass front has minor fit/finish issues The inside could be larger to have more scooping room

Very good quality
