A great machine
We've owned this machine for 3 months and consistently use it one or two times a week for our home theater. It's been a great machine - the stirring rod has never jammed, it's easy to clean and makes popcorn fast.
I did a bit of research before buying. Here's the key features on this machine that aren't on the others in its price range:
-- Really easy to clean kettle. It rotates down and the stirring rod stays affixed to the underside of the top of the machine. This makes it really easy to wipe out the kettle since there isn't a stirring mechanism in the way.
-- When you lift the lid on the kettle it sticks to a magnet on the underside of the top. This keeps it out of the way for adding popcorn or cleaning.
-- A heater beneath the popcorn to keep it warm. Most machines just have a lamp, which really doesn't do much. A dedicated heating element does a much better job. Also a bright lamp is distracting when watching a movie. I...
The Popper to Topper!
This was a wonderful addition to our home! From young to old enjoyed watching this old time looking popper make our favorite movie snack. It will fit just fine on the end of a counter or vanity/sofa size table.
Everything works as expected. One tip however, if you purchase the premixed bags of oil, kernels and seasoning; cut the end with the oil only and squeeze it into the hopper then cut the kernel and seasoning portion of the bag. This will allow the oil to get to the bottom of the hopper. Our first batch clumped together as the bag instructions didn't include this tip. 2 bag fulls will furnish a family of 6 and some may have seconds. There are all types of corn available, I think we will try kettle corn next. Well worth the extra money. The manufacturing is solid with glass and steel structure with steel hinges, easy cleanup design and comes with kernel measuring cup and oil spoon, salt shaker and popcorn scooper for the mix it yourselfers out there. The warming light keeps...
Perfect for the Home Theater
The EPM-450 is just what the popcorn maniac needs for his serious home theater popcorn taste. It is a 4oz. popper and for two to four people it is ideal. I purchased the 8oz pre-measured popcorn packets with oil, salt and kernels and split them. That way if I need more I can make more (in about 4 -5 minutes)... if not I don't waste half the popcorn. The cost for the 4oz and 8oz is the same where I shop so twice the amount for the same price.
The popper makes a nice addition to my theater experience. I have had no problems with it and it works as advertised. The vendor shipped on time and it arrived the exact day I needed it without having to expedite it with air freight.
