Overview
Not a tabletop popper, this Foundation machine ships with a detachable two wheeled cart and a large stainless steel kettle with a built in stirrer. Tempered glass food zones and a warmer light give it a nostalgic look.
The big batch size and the cart make it a party ready centerpiece, though it can also pop a smaller batch for family nights. The limitation is size and weight, which need a dedicated corner.
Who it's for
Home theater owners, party hosts and small venues will use the batch size and the cart. Apartment dwellers, and anyone who pops corn only now and then, should look at a smaller machine.
Pros and cons
- Large batch capacity
- Detachable cart on wheels
- Stainless steel kettle with stirrer
- Tempered glass food zones
- Tall and heavy
- Short warranty on kettles and bulbs
- Needs dedicated space
Performance notes
The built in stirrer moves the kernels in the kettle while it heats, and the machine pops up to a full large batch or a smaller one. Tempered glass panels contain the popcorn, and the warmer light helps hold finished corn. Output is stated in cups and gallons per batch.
