Great little machineSmaller than I expected, but it works great. 1 batch of popcorn is enough for 2 people. Highly recommend using coconut oil in the machine for that theater taste. Was fairly simple to put together and it is not super difficult to clean.

Be prepared to sit down a little while and put it togetherThe media could not be loaded. First, I must say I’ve been wanting one of these so long I said you know what let me just go ahead and buy it. It was a must have for my movie room. I was very excited. It’s very nice. I mean we’re gonna have amazing fun I must add and until you all the final truth, though it was a lot to put together. I’m one of those ones. I’d rather look at a picture than instructions because sometime instructions confuse me so if your person like me, the instructions may confuse you, but on top of all of that, it’s really great. It took me a while to figure out everything though but hey, I love it. Check out from the video how needed it is thanks Hope this review helps you.

Definitely worth itIve been wanting a popcorn maker for awhile so I ended up choosing this one after some research. I also got it on sale which was awesome. It was pretty easy to set up & well the instructions weren’t so helpful but we figured it out. It was a bit small in height but that’s okay with me. It’s about the same height as my 6 year old.. it is fairly easy to clean and just letting the inside of the of the pot sit with warm water while I clean the inside of the of the popcorn machine (the pot is easily removable for easy cleaning). I also lay aluminum on the bottom of the popcorn machine to ensure that it’s an easier clean up. So far used it for 4 days straight and haven’t had any problems with it. Pops the perfect amount for myself I haven’t tried with multiple people.
I also bought the popcorn salt & butter flavored coconut from Amazon.
Combo 1: 1/2tsp of Popcorn Salt and 3tbsp of Butter Flavored Coconut Oil w/ 1 cup of kernels
Combo 2: 1/2tsp of Popcorn Salt & 3tbsp of Orville Popping & Topping Buttery Popcorn Oil w/ 1 cup of kernels
I preferred combo 2 it gave it the movie theater popcorn taste along with it being buttery. Combo 1 isn’t to bad but was struggling to find the buttery taste. Also the popcorn salt, a little goes a long way I believe the 1/2tsp is enough if you like it a bit more salty then maybe 1tsp.
The popcorn maker also come with the kernel measuring cup along with the butter measuring cup and popcorn scooper.

Pretty Good Machine for A Party or Movie NightAs many people have already stated the instructions are atrocious. What I mean by this is it'll tell you to only use half the screws and then leave you guessing where the rest go. There are enough holes if you've got common sense to figure it out, but it's frustrating. I was also having issues with the box part that holds the kernals falling in the back, and the base that goes around to prop up the popping part snapped, but it still works with the parts I have left. The actual popping: it works well, the popcorn pops and I haven't had issues with burning. I will say that if you do not heat up the machine each time before starting to pop, you will NOT get any popped corn, even if you leave it on for an hour. I think this is the issue that a lot of people are having because it doesn't really say you need to heat it up in the main instructions, but in the building instructions. I think people are forgetting to preheat it and saying it doesn't work. Make sure that you buy a good oil/popcorn salt or the popcorn will be really bland. It took a while for us to find one we like, but we finally settled with the actual Nostalgia set. I think that the set is slightly too big for the machine, however, so you may have to split it up or you will end up with kernals that pop out with the corn before they get a chance to turn into popcorn themselves. Overall, it's not enough of an issue that I care, but some people might.

Nice buyGood little machine. It’s a medium to small size but it works and looks nice it has last over a year now. The door glass split a little somehow but I might have done that idk or the heat.

Retaped item, missing 4 of the 6 volts, box was dropped and packing damaged.I am so angry right now! I've waited for this popcorn machine, sat down as a family to put together, the box is missing 4 of the 6 volts, I purchased for a special event we have in 3 days. So, to be fair, we have not tried the machine itself.
So far here is my honest review, poor packaging, has been ripped on top of old yellowing tape. box was obviously dropped on it's corner, so not 100% confident if machine will malfunction, not a happy place to be after spending over $100 on this cheap materials made machine. To my surprise, the unit is mostly plastic, had a hair inside the unit, the inner packaging came damaged, broken materials everywhere, so I strongly feel this unit was tampered or repacked. DISGUSTING! Because I ordered a new unit. I can't even disinfect, and clean because of its missing volts. What a disappointment this is. But, again, I haven't used the machine yet.
The other massive problem which has not effect on NOSTALGIA, its the disgusting and unprofessional customer I received tonight from India, the 4 reps I spoke to from India, were clueless, I felt like I was bothering them, like they were sleeping and relaxing, zero professionalism, I escalated the problem, and luckily, I was transferred tot he Philippines where customer service was very professional, even though, no solution.
So, these missing parts have begun a terrible experience here. I don't have a popcorn machine, I will return this repackaged item. I will probably refrain from giving my business to Amazon, due to poor quality products and customer service.
The disappointment is real! What a waste of my time is Amazon!
UPDATE!!!!
This is probably one of the cheapest products I have ever invested in. The quality of this product is 100% below low quality. Cheap! Cheap! We could not use the cart part because of the missing volts, ruining part of our event. We tried to make it work by tying everything together with straps and that did not even work.

Poorly DesignedI’m giving this machine two stars because if you’ve never owned a proper kettle corn machine, you won’t be be able to compare quality and you may just think that this is how kettle corn is supposed to taste.
Save your money and purchase a Klarstein or a Cooks Professional counter top kettle corn maker. I purchased both of these for my holiday properties. They’re half the price and far superior. I purchased the Nostalgia machine for my own home. What a disappointment. Let’s start with the design flaws of this machine.
1. There is only one switch which powers both the light and the kettle. Bad move, folks! Most machines have one switch specifically for the kettle and a second switch for the light which acts as a heat lamp and keeps your popped corn warm within the machine. It also looks great with the light on.
2. There aren’t any vents in the glass panels causing your popcorn to become steamed and stale if you don’t remove it all immediately.
3. As mentioned in other reviews the unpopped kernels fly out in masses. The spinner in the kettle does in fact get jammed so you are forced to turn the kettle off midway, reach in with a wooden spoon and attempt to carefully unjam it. You will have burned bits whether you like or not. How many depends on how much of a maverick you are.
4. Do your research and you’ll notice that most home kettle corn machines have a handle on the outside of the machine which allows you to tip the popped corn into the base. The Nostalgia machine has the handle on the inside. The machine is too small for this.
5. Yay! You’ll need to buy a converter/adapter. This machine comes with an American plug only. Add another £40 to the cost of this investment. Other machines include an adapter with a built-in converter and they are much less expensive.
The Nostalgia is a nice looking decorative popcorn maker but I will be ordering a Klarstein again for my home. If I decide I really want a portable base for it, I’ll order that separately. It will still be half the price of what I paid for the Nostalgia machine.
If anyone from Nostalgia reads this, make some adjustments and this product will be on par with the others. If I hadn’t used it already I would return it.
