Overview
A home theater corner or a church hall is the setting this red popper is styled for, with tempered glass panels, a stainless steel kettle and a drawer for unpopped kernels. The cart base has a compartment for storing supplies.
The complete kit and the cart make it ready to serve a crowd, and the antique design adds to a theater look. The limitation is size, since the machine with cart is tall and heavy.
Who it's for
Households with a dedicated entertainment room, plus schools and churches, will use the batch size and the cart. Apartment dwellers with limited space, or anyone who pops only occasionally, should choose a smaller popper.
Pros and cons
- Cart with storage in the base
- Accessories included in the kit
- Stainless steel kettle
- Tempered glass panels
- Large and heavy on its cart
- Needs standing space
- Cleans with water only, no machine washing
Performance notes
A powered kettle and stirrer work together with a heater switch, a spot light warmer switch and a stirrer switch for control. Unpopped kernels fall into a reject tray, and the warmer light lights up the finished popcorn. Output is stated as roughly two to three gallons per batch.
