My.kids absolutely love this, works amazing we make all kinds of flavors .

Great little machine. It is a little messy and can be a pain to clean on the inside but overall nothing a little elbow grease can’t get to. Popcorn taste great, it’s durable minus the stand, it could use a little better quality but still sturdy enough. Would be a great gift to someone making a theatre room. Fairly easy to use. Size is nice as well. Doesn’t overpower a room.

Great for movie nights

If my review saves someone else from purchasing this popcorn maker, then I've done my job. I purchased this for family movie nights, which are a big deal in our house. This was a Christmas Eve gift for our family. I assembled it, and my first major red flag was that there was no hole in the side of the popcorn maker to insert and screw in the little lever to tip the kettle to dump the popcorn. So we had to risk burning ourselves to dump it (whatever, we'd deal with it). On Christmas Eve, we started our movie and ran the popcorn maker for the first time; it worked well its first go. A couple of hours later, we switched the popcorn maker back on as we were ready to make another round of popcorn for movie #2, the kettle would spin, but it would not heat at all. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps on the website, and nothing. We tried again the next day hoping it would magically work again, and nothing. I contacted Nostalgia hoping for some help or maybe just a replacement part and the woman on the phone didn't care to help at all, she told me that because it had been within 30 days of purchase on Amazon that I needed to contact them. Amazon would only refund me and told me that I could repurchase. The only issue with this resolution is that I purchased this on sale for Black Friday, so if I wanted to repurchase, I would be spending more to do so. In the end, I had to disassemble this nightmare machine and return it for a refund. I'll never buy this brand again as the machine was trash and so was the customer service.

The Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Machine is a charming addition to any home theater setup, evoking a classic movie night feel with its vintage design and colorful exterior. For families, entertainers, or those who just love popcorn, this machine brings both fun and function — though not without a few drawbacks.What I Loved1. Large Capacity:One of the standout features is its ability to pop up to 10 cups of movie theater-style popcorn in a single batch. This makes it an excellent companion for parties, family movie nights, or entertaining a group of kids. The quantity it produces is more than sufficient for small gatherings, which makes it far more efficient than traditional microwave popcorn bags.2. Durable, Safe Materials:Another major plus is the scratch-proof and shatterproof glass enclosure. This adds a level of safety and durability that’s great for households with kids or high usage. You don’t have to worry about accidental bumps or breakage, and it retains its clean, polished look even with frequent handling.3. Aesthetic Appeal:True to its name, the Nostalgia Popcorn Maker looks like it’s straight out of a retro cinema. It’s a conversation starter and adds a unique, nostalgic flair to any room it's placed in.The Drawbacks1. Cleaning is a Chore:The biggest downside — and one that may determine how often you actually use the machine — is the cleaning process. Once the fun is over, disassembling the unit and cleaning the inner parts, kettle, and corners can be tedious. Oil splatters, unpopped kernels, and small crevices make thorough cleaning time-consuming. For many, this results in the machine becoming more of a decorative piece than a regular appliance.2. Dust Collector When Not in Use:Because of the cleaning hassle, it’s easy to let this machine sit unused. It looks great, but it collects dust quickly when not in active use, especially if you’re not popping corn regularly. This can be frustrating for those who like tidy, low-maintenance kitchen appliances.The Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Machine is a fun and visually appealing way to enjoy large batches of popcorn, especially when hosting guests or keeping kids entertained. Its build quality is impressive, with durable glass that resists scratches and breaks. However, the time and effort required to clean it may be a deterrent for everyday use. If you're okay with the occasional deep clean and want something that makes a big impact for special occasions, this machine is worth the shelf space.Great for: Parties, families, home theatersNot ideal for: Daily use, those who want minimal cleanup
