Elite GourmetEPM-250 Maxi-Matic 2.5 Ounce Classic Carnival, Tabletop Kettle Popcorn Popper Machine, Retro-Style, Movie Hot Buttered Popcorn, Red

The media could not be loaded. I got the Elite Gourmet EPM-250 Popcorn Popper for my kid's carnival-themed birthday party, and it was a total hit! The bright red, retro look was perfect for the theme and instantly grabbed everyone's attention.Using it was super easy. We set it up quickly, and the popcorn started popping right away. It tasted amazing, just like movie theater popcorn with that yummy hot buttered flavor. The kids and adults loved it!Cleaning up was a breeze too, which was awesome after a long day. This popcorn machine added so much fun to our party and made it really special. Highly recommend for any event or even just movie nights at home!

Awesome product, works great, makes a great gift!

This popcorn maker is awesome. Definitely gave the retro theater look. My sons love watching the kernel pop. The bin is easy to clean due to it being removal. The heat pop a out 98% of the kernel. Very easy to to use and put together. The one thing I wish this is better is the hinge on the door. It looks and feel flimsy and can break but so far. It works and hasn't break yet.

This was a surprise for my 4 year old, and it got the reaction i was hoping for! He loves the process of preparing the ingredients and especially watching it pop. This is a great alternative to microwave popcorn, especially where carbs are a factor for my little one, who is diabetic. We've found 6 different flavors so far that we can shake on top of it (butter, ranch, cheddar, etc.), which is such a healthier option than the ones in the store. Most of the kernels pop each time we use it, and it's easier to clean than i thought it would be. Overall, we love it and it was well worth the money!

Good looking

I'm absolutely thrilled with my Elite Gourmet EPM-250 Maxi-Matic Popcorn Popper Machine! This retro-style machine brings back memories of classic carnivals and movie nights. The 2.5-ounce capacity is perfect for small to medium-sized batches, and the tabletop design makes it easy to use and store. The machine heats evenly and produces fluffy, hot buttered popcorn that tastes amazing. Cleanup is a breeze, and the red color adds a pop of fun to my kitchen. Whether you're a popcorn enthusiast or just looking for a fun and easy snack solution, this machine is a must-have. Highly recommend!

So I bought this model again because we had what was basically the same unit for 8 years before the housing was too broken to continue using. We make a ton of popcorn for movie nights and kids parties so the maker is definitely getting a lot of use.This new one has only lasted three months. They added legs to this model which was probably the worst decision. They didn't make the base surrounding the legs any stronger. After using for a month or so, I noticed a crack starting to form around one of the legs. We use the machine a lot, but I am pretty careful when moving and storing it, so this is just a terrible design as the bottom is a brittle plastic. Another month passed and the crack around the leg was much worse even though I have been extra careful. It is still usable but probably not for long without some modifications.To make things worse, I have now found another crack around the handle for the door. We are using it about the same as the previous one and if anything, I have been more careful with this one and yet it is in much worse shape after just a few months. There is no way this one will be making jt 8 years and there is no way I'm going to pay for this cheaply made unit again which is a shame since the older one was so good.

You get what you pay for. The logo and door are in the same side. I thought logo would be in front for display and door in back to grab popcorn but no but that's not my real issue. It doesn't pop half the kernels and I used the 'recommended' popcorn for this type of machine. It's very light for travel but plastic is flimsy. Price point is great but probably should have paid a bit more to get a better product.
