I am a popcorn lover, and I like this machine

Pros:

8 oz Size

-Makes enough popcorn for 3 to 4 people. Using 8oz popcorn packs, it makes awesome popcorn, and a lot of it.

Features

-I like the heating element underneath to keep the popcorn hot, not sure if this is a standard feature, but I like it. The old maid drawer is pretty big.

Looks

-I like the skyline look on the glass. The black on top matches the stainless steel.

Cons:

Steel

-The Metal seems a little flimsy, and it was delivered with bent metal right where the old maid drawer is, but that was fixed with a pliers. The pin to keep the kennel in place had one hole drilled bad. The flip out bottom door is also thin and flimsy.

Looks

-The metal "vent" on top is just paint, and the icons for the switches are funky and unpolished.

Glass

-One of the doors was not straight. I tried to fix it my adjusting the hinges, but nothing helped. The one is good, but the other one is offset from the other and is harder to close than the good one.

Overall:

It works well, looks good, but it seems a little flimsy and the door problem made it lose a few points. The entire machine was packaged well, with no assembly. It did take about 5 days to ship, but it got to my house in 2 days. If you do not use premeasured packets with this machine, make sure you use atleast 1 TBSP of oil per 1/2 cup of popcorn. The manual says to use only 1 TBSP, but a cup of popcorn will not pop well with only that much. The door does say the correct amount. The scoop that comes with it is kind of small, but it works. I would recommend this machine to people who want a 8 oz popcorn popper.

I purchased this popcorn popper to help with making popcorn for my school on Fridays. I loved the general styling, espcially the stainless parts. The machine is easy to use, but I had a major problem with the kettle. The part where the kettle is welded to the swinging hinge actually FELL OFF after JUST 3 HOURS of use. I called Great Northern and they immediately offered to return it, no problem. Decided to purchase the next one up-the 12oz. commercial one.

Honest reviews on Great Northern Popcorn 6255 Pop Frenzy Self Contained Popper

I got the machine on Feb 9, 2012 and tried popping some corn immediately. Setup was very easy. The first time I used it, it took almost 12 minutes to pop 8 oz of corn which is not what is stated on the manual. I emailed Great Northern that night and got a response the very same night. The support was great and very responsive. I had to return the kettle for check up which turned out to be a defective thermostat. It was repaired and returned to me. We are very happy with the purchase and kids love the popcorn we are producing. On Saturday nights, we serve popcorn to 50 kids and so far the popcorn machine is able to handle the load.

I did a fair amount of research before purchasing and believe this to be a good product. It has served well. Easy to use. Clean up is not as easy as I would like but not bad. There is a ridge along the inside bottom that is hard to clean and the kettle can be. Have found the vinegar works great for cleaning kettle. Would like a bigger one for what we do but for small groups will work wonders.
