I have owned the Princeton for 2 years, and, except for a faulty kettle, which Discount Tommy quickly took care of by sending me a replacement kettle, I have had no problems whatsoever. In fact, one of the glass doors got broken during the warranty period, and Discount Tommy was good enough to send me a replacement!

The machine works as advertised, but you must take the time to let the kettle heat the oil up to get the best results. The 3 switches make for great control, and save useless wear and tear when you only need to heat the oil. This popper si a great value for the price!

I bought this popper because I wanted "more authentic movie theater style popcorn" than microwave popcorn. This product has exceeded all my expectations. It is a very sturdy machine, and significantly less expensive than comparable poppers. It was originally intended solely for home use, but the kids had a blast selling popcorn at our neighborhood garage sale. We were popping batch after batch and the Princeton Popper performed like a champ. Its real nice having the 8 oz capacity so you can pop larger batches. The heat lamp works great at keeping the pop corn warm and crisp.

I purchased the Great Northern Popcorn machine for our concession stand, the machine performed very well and kept up with the long lines for the hot buttery popcorn. Everyone was pleased most of all us since we had the "ONLY" Popcorn machine at the event. Still running strong after 3 years, we use it for football game, and at home in the off season!! Thanks Great American Popcorn!!!

Honest reviews on Great Northern Popcorn 6045 Princeton Antique Popcorn Maker

I was tired of going through 20 bags of a week of microwave popcorn and after some research I decided on this machine. I really like the design and how well it makes popcorn! We go through so much popcorn for our family that I buy the medium kernels in a 50 pound bag which you end up with a better kernel at a cheaper rate per pound, but you if don't use all the popcorn fast I would recommend getting a bunch of freezer bags and splitting the bag up. We use this for home use for a family of 5 and we go though 2 batches watching a movie.

It seems he perfect combination for this machine is a 1/4 cup of coconut oil, 1 cup of popcorn kernels and one teaspoon of Flavacol salt. The key to keeping your popper lasting a long time is the shut off the stirrer and the kettle as soon as the popcorn is done popping otherwise you could burn the kettle out if you left it on too long which I have seen this issue in other reviews on all popcorn machines.

Here is the purchases I got with mine.

I love my popcorn machine purchased from Discount Tommy's. First of all, it makes delicious popcorn that makes watching movies or just hanging out playing pool with friends and family a blast. We use the pre-packaged popcorn with butter/oil and it really is as good as movie-theater popcorn. Next, the machine looks great out on display and is relatively easy to clean. Most importantly for me, the customer service from Discount Tommy's has been phenomenal. A few months after we bought our machine, the turning mechanism was getting stuck. We tried to trouble shoot but didn't have any luck. I emailed customer service and after sending them a picture of the trouble part, they immediately sent out a replacement at no charge. They were responsive and a pleasure to deal with! I highly recommend this product.
