Nostalgia HKP200 2.5-Ounce Popcorn Popper with Lighted Marquee

I bought this unit even after reading the few negative reviews - I should have listened to them. It looks great, but doesn't pop corn. I have tried it twice now thinking maybe I needed a different type of popcorn or oil. I warmed the unit(first time 5 min, second time longer)put in the oil and then the corn. The first go round I got no popped corn at all and the second try I got about 10 - 15 popped kernels after 25 min. The unit didn't seem to get hot enough. What a disappointment! I have now had to clean it twice with no popcorn to show for the trouble. I agree with a previous review, only good for a paperweight.5-2-13 Amendment: I contacted Nostalgia Electrics and explained the problems I was having with the popper. The customer representative was very friendly and helpful. After covering some common sense suggestions for me to try, they sent me a new kettle for the popper. It now works perfectly! I got a full "drawer" of popped corn in about 5 mins after warming the unit for a few minutes per the instructions. The unit is loud, but it is not a $700 piece of equipment so I feel it's something I can live with. In this day and age of poor customer service, Nostalgia Electrics was a pleasant surprise and a "breath of fresh air"!

We have had this machine for 2 years. I wouldn't say we use it "regularly". Once or twice a month when the kids have their friends stay the night, or if we are entertaining guests. We have yet to have any problems out of this thing. I would have given it 5 stars, but this thing is insanely loud.

It pops almost every kernel and easy set up. My only complaint is that the kettle does not have a magnet for the lid so it falls easily and since you have to preheat the kettle it can burn.

I bought 6 of them for gifts at the Christmas party. 3 out of 5 had a problem out of the gate. 2 of them a kernel got stuck on the rotating arm inside of kettle. After freeing them up they have been working. The dump arm on one was stuck and would not dump the popcorn. After forcing it started working.

We got this machine a few days ago, we loved the look of it when we took it out of the box. But the real test came when we put it to the test because we are true popcorn lovers in my household. This machine was great and the popcorn taste was just of that of the movie theater. I do think the plastic sides, back and front could be a little thicker but still over all still give it high stars.

This popcorn machine is great!! The look is unique, and better yet, it make wonderful popcorn. I pop my corn with coconut oil, and Flavocol, the seasoning used in the theaters. The machine works quickly, and the whole house has that wonderful theatre popcorn smell. I deffinately recommend this machine. Works like a charm. Makes just enough popcorn for two to three people at a time perfectly every time. Great price too!!

It was a gift for my granddaughter and her family. They were very pleased. Hope it works ok. Thank you for asking.

I never owned this product but I ordered it from amazon and it had been like 9 days when I got an email saying that it had been dammaged and I was going to be refunded. It also said I would recieve $20 for the long wait. needless to say Im pretty happy with the company for compensating me for the time I waited for it.
