JM Posner Simply Entertaining Halogen Popcorn Maker - Home Popcorn Machine by JMP For The Home

We are a family of popcorn nuts so we have tried almost every popcorn machine available - our local charity shop has done well out of it. Our luck changed when we bought this Halogen machine from JM Posner. The machine arrived in two days, very well packed in an outer box and then in its own box. The machine is bigger than the picture on Amazon led us to believe, it can cook from two to six ounces of excellent popcorn in about three minutes and six ounces is a lot of popcorn and would do a family of six.The advantage of this machine over hot air is that the corn is cooked using a small amount of oil - we use pure coconut oil which gives the corn a fabulous flavour. We also use a small amount of salt which is poured onto to corn before popping . The machine is very easily cleaned as it has a non- stick surface on the heated tray. It is a very light machine and should be handled with care but having said that it will last for years if treated gently. The instruction manual is simple and straight to the point it gives the recommended amount of corn and oil to use which worked to perfection for us. Buy one today, you won't regret it. And no I have not been paid to write this or given any incentive, I just love this gadget.

It's excellent and pops pretty much all the corns! My only wish would be to wash in the dishwasher, I don't like hand washing

Used to make decent popcorn however it only worked for about 8 months...We pretty much used it for about 10 times then it stopped generating heat and popping kernels. Quite disappointed to be honest.

Not impressed

After around 100 uses, the non-stick coating is wearing off in two strips. It still works fine. The base is very, very, very hot when the popcorn is ready.

Good Popcorn Maker. I read all the other reviews before buying and indeed, like others already pointed out, this machine may burn popcorn if you don't watch it out. I have used coconut oil and the popcorn really taste better with it; I have used also other oil types, but the coconut one wins - as the popcorn are much softer and tastier. Overall it's a good popcorn maker - I had very few popcorn burnt (and by few I mean 5/6). I guess once I work out better the timing I won't burn any. I don't know how many popcorns were burnt for the other users but I was expecting more from what I read. Luckily it turned out that the 'burning' is not such a real issue, at least from my experience. Easy to clean as well, and the 'dome' form the machine can be used as bowl, so less things to clean up too. I definitely prefer the popcorn made with this machine than the ones cooked in the microwaves - it's also healthier cooking them in this way. If you are a popcorn fan, this machine is the right purchase ;)

Love this item! I was a bit anxious, after reading reviews of other popcorn makers, but after a super fast delivery we set it up in no time and began munching on delicious popcorn! I think this popcorn maker is super and so do my kids. It's easy to use and easy to clean. It makes lovely fresh popcorn and is fun to watch. Some parts can get warm as that's how it works but with guidance my 8 & 10 year olds will be making their own popcorn soon. 🍚 😊

Would have given a 5 star if not for the top butter distributor. It doesn't work that well and just gives you more cleaning up. Great to have fresh popcorn whenever i want. Does a good amount, but don't over doit as you'll end up with un-popped kernels.
