Nostalgia Vintage Hot-Air Popcorn Maker Machine - Makes Up to 12 Cups - Oil-Free - Healthier Popcorn - Classic Stand-Up Cart With Wheels - Includes Kernel Measuring Cup - White & Red

I shopped around quite a bit for a popcorn machine. This was by far the best price for the look I wanted compared to other competitors. It pops good and looks nice just as display. It makes enough for about two people to eat a hearty amount. Most all kernels pop with little left unpopped. The only thing that I could pick apart is some of the popcorn gets hung up in back and you have to take the case off to get it but not a big deal. It lifts right up with no issues. Also to get the remaining kernels out, I have to tip it upside down to clean out. Again, no big deal. I happy with the price I paid and product I got.

In the sultry hush of a Red Wing evening, with the golden twilight slanting through the blinds like the last hurrah of a dying jazz song, I beheld a thing of splendor—my Nostalgia Vintage Coca-Cola Hot-Air Popcorn Maker, a confection of color and whimsy, standing proud in the corner of my modest apartment patio like a crimson beacon from a lost carnival. She arrived cloaked in cardboard and hope, her delicate wheels tucked beneath her in slumber, awaiting assembly and admiration. As I unfurled her parts and pieces, there was something magical in the air—not just the static of packing peanuts or the hum of anticipation, but something grander. This was not a machine, you see. No. This was a spectacle. The body of the cart—glossed in radiant Coca-Cola red and trimmed with snowbank-white accents—gleamed like a summer dream on the boardwalks of 1922. A golden script danced across her sides, whispering promises of simpler times and sweet, oil-free indulgence. She did not sit on a countertop like some modern monstrosity with its soulless plastics and hurried design. No, she stood, bold and upright, like a flapper twirling her dress in defiance of Prohibition. Upon first use, I measured out the kernels using the darling little scoop provided (which doubles as a warming cap—how clever! how quaint!), poured them into the gleaming chamber, and waited. What followed was not merely the popping of corn, but a symphony of transformation. The sound—oh, the sound!—was a staccato ballet of anticipation, each pop like champagne corks at a roaring mansion party where secrets and strangers mingled. In mere minutes—nay, moments!—the chamber rumbled with joy, and out poured a stream of warm, air-popped popcorn, like a golden harvest spilling from a dream. No oil, no guilt, no infernal butter. Just pure, unadulterated corn, puffed by the very breath of nostalgia itself. The popcorn, light as the laughter of a flapper and crisp as Gatsby’s white suit, held up beautifully under a shower of sea salt or a flirtation with cinnamon sugar. And while it plays well with restraint, it also responds beautifully to indulgence—a drizzle of caramel here, a dusting of cheddar there. It is a blank canvas, eager to dress for any occasion. Cleanup? Why, it’s as easy as forgetting the name of your last lover. A quick wipe here, a flick of the wrist there, and she’s ready once more for her next evening performance. And let us not ignore the cart’s aesthetic power. More than a popcorn maker, it is a conversation piece, a totem of merriment. When friends visit, they do not ask where the drinks are, nor what we’re streaming—they flock to her, the popcorn cart, as if drawn by a siren song of carnival lights and soda fountains. So I sing her praises now, in the waning light of June, as the fireflies blink like old marquee signs and the breeze carries echoes of a forgotten brass band. This machine is not just a popcorn maker—it is a revival. A resurrection of joy. A red-and-white time machine dressed in Coca-Cola branding and wheeled dreams. She is elegance. She is novelty. She is the Gatsby of kitchen gadgets. And I, dear reader, am in love.

Works great! Looks good and is a lot of fun!

Haven’t got to use it just yet, but I looks easy to use. Just a bit smaller than I was expecting😂 but that’s my own fault for not reading descriptions.

It’s an excellent product; it has worked very well and looks very nice. The only thing is that no matter how hot it gets, there are always some kernels that don’t pop. They end up flying out very hot and almost never fall into the container you place. It's the same of the images.

This product is useless. AMAZON should test Chinese products before buying and selling to consumers. .Many don't work if made in China. I'm pissed for the trouble it caused me and many hours wasted. I bought 3 as Xmas gifts. Fortunately I tested it before wrapping. Design flaw: Decorative wheels keep bowl away. Popcorn bounces before bowl, into room and collects in front of the bowl, under the popper. Getting my money back isn't fair compensation because I didn't have time to find an alternate gift. I blame Amazon for not checking a product that hurts their reputation, and results in unnecessary cost. My time is worth $100s per hour and I have to go thru the annoyance to return it. Other Chinese crap Amazon sold me, resulting in major inconvenience, and costly time to me and Amazon: 1. outside grill: cover too small, let's air out, keeping grill unable to reach cooking temp/2. cordless drill: zero power against any resistance such as drilling wood/3. hammer drill: chuck exploded drilling 5th hole. Attention Amazon Executive for Buying Chinese: you are wasting money and pissing off customers. Fix it. Contact me for details. If you don't do this, then identify "made in China" so I don't regret having the buying convenience offset by wasting my time returning useless crap you could simply prevent by basic product testing to verify it works.

While this is an adorable and affordable option for a popcorn maker, I would not necessarily recommend. We got this for my daughter for Christmas and I will say, it’s easy to use, but it pretty much ends there. We put the amount of kernels it called for and it barely popped half of them and popcorn was flying everywhere while it was popping even with a good sized bowl underneath it. The kernels flew out of the machine as well and burned my daughter’s arm.

This popcorn was chosen by my grandson. He liked the look of the popcorn maker and it is small enough for him to carry. This popcorn maker is durable, sturdy, and sits balanced on the counter. It does not require oil, making it easy to use and very easy to clean. The popcorn smells fresh and tastes fresh with every batch. Each full batch makes more than a mixing bowl full of popcorn. my grandson had fun helping his mom make popcorn during his party. The look of this popcorn machine is fun too!

It's easy to use and pops all the corn.

Works like a charm and exactly as advertised. We love it for our basement movie room!

Muy buen producto, nada de aceite.

Bought this for my 12 year old 's Movie themed birthday party and it was a hit . I was surprised by just how much Popcorn was made with such little amount . No oil , no mess . Super easy to use and really quite attractive. It was louder than I expected but that just added to the fun . Heats up super fast and makes popcorn quickly as well . I have had no unpopped kernels after each use and I have used it around 6 times now .

Used and broken when i opened it. I had to gift it to someone and couldn't gift it also and the return date was also gone till then. Do not buy it
