Review 1 for Nostalgia Electrics 53" Vintage Collection Circus Cart Popcorn Maker, Red

once it was built, it has worked like a charm.

I've read a few reviews and several mentioned that it was a pain to put together. I have to agree with them; but just allot about 2 hours and take several deep breaths and you will get it done. They provide all the tools you need; but you will find that a good socket wrench set is very helpful.
Enjoy!

Missing Parts; Piece of Junk!

My husband spent two hours putting this together, only to find at the end that it was missing several important parts. I had to find another popcorn maker immediately, as we needed it for my daughter's birthday party the next day. Fortunately, our local Walmart took the popcorn maker back and even refunded the shipping. It was an inconvenience and time waster, so I would NOT buy this product. It also looks kind of cheap.

If your in to movie popcorn this is the one for you. Make sure you use coconut oil
(that's the secret). I bought the kit that comes with popcorn, oil and flavoring.
DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!

We purchased this for our family room, it is a nice addition and does not take a lot of room. We have used it several times and have been pleased with the quality of the popcorn. It is fairly easy to clean, it can be tricky to get the popper back into the machine.

Love it. Easy to clean, easy to use. Easy to put together. Great for movie night. Used it for a large gathering popping back to back to back to back.....never gave us any problem. We use it about once a month for our family movie nights. Doesn't take up much space.

Great popper! I had extra 8 oz packets left over from renting a larger machine for a carnival and they worked with this popper too. Perfect size for our room and easy to clean. We are all very happy with this purchase because we don't have to travel to the theater to get "theater popcorn!"

We were able to purchase this online at a sales price. Delivery was amazingly fast and friendly. Practically a snap to setup. For the price, this unit is great buy. A few imperfections, but quality is fine. We were popping corn in no time.

My husband and I put this together and it was pretty easy after we fixed one of the parts. There are two braces on which to attach the wheels, one right and one left. We were sent two rights or lefts so couldn't assemble the unit. We didn't want to go thru the trouble of returning and or exchanging the product (which WalMart would gladly have done) so we went to a local welder and had him move one of the brackets to the other side thereby making a righty and a lefty. After that it assembled very easily. We were excited to make our first batch of popcorn and weren't disappointed. We used Orville Redenbacher's popcorn and it worked really well. We followed the directions and used one scooper full (1/4 cup) which made much more than we could eat so we saved the rest for later. It was just like at the movies but we were at home! Clean up was also easy afterward..just used a damp microfiber cloth to wipe it down and it was done. It doesn't take up too much space and looks really nice. Hopefully it will hold up well but I expect it will. We're very satisfied at this time and only wish there were more of us so we could use it more!

I love this machine. Bought the popcorn from Gold Metal in Orlando and the taste is just like the movie theater. Spend more time in there than I ever have.
I would recommend this to anyone and the price was perfect with the roll back.
Thanks Walmart

This popcorn maker made a great gift and was exactly what we were looking for. We followed the other reviews and added twice as much oil, and we hardly have any unpopped kernels.

Popper looks great and is just the right size for a small home. Assembly was easy enough even with the throw away tools provided. I read other reviews about not adding more popcorn then one scoop allows because of concerns in scorching. I found this to be true, as the corn did scorch when I added an extra 1/2 scoop. While it pops the corn just like they do at the movies, I have yet to be able to get the same results(looks or taste), but I think this maybe due to something I need to change and not necessary the fault of the popper. Because of it's size, the kettle is difficult to clean, especially up under the lid, which if not done entirely will cause the popper to smoke as it burns off the excess oil during the next use.

The item arrived in 3 days to my door. It was super easy to put together and the quality of construction was nothing shy of AMAZING!!! If you are considering one of these units, buy the 53" one for the extra $30 rather than the 48" one. The difference between the 2 units are night and day. It makes perfect popcorn!!! It's attractive and looks great in my rec room. Very pleased...

Was shipped and product would not assemble.

The shipping was prompt but upon assembly, the top glass portion would not fit into the bottom red portion... one corner would not go in and it appeared the screws that came assembled were poorly tightened causing the problem along with the metal not being up to standards. Will return. Quite a shame because it was purchased for a Christmas gift.
Paint chipped easily too and it does not look like it would last long, but looks nice if for easy use.

As much as I paid for this, I did not expect it to be so CHEAP. The hardware for assembly was actually rusted before we received it. The parts do not fit together nicely. Hard to assemble because of the rusted fittings. Haven't even used it yet, but would not recommend it. Spend a few more dollars and get much higher quality.

Well worth the money. I let the oil heat up first than add the popcorn/salt mixture. I also buy the pre-packaged packs. We love popcorn and go through a lot of popcorn.
