Funtime Sideshow Popper 4-Ounce Hot Oil Popcorn Machine with Cart, Black/Silver

Love this new popper for our Home Theater!I first ordered a Funtime FT421CR Antique Carnival-Style 4-Ounce Tabletop Hot-Oil Popcorn Popper, Red - but it was damaged in shipping and UPS sent it back without delivery. Great customer service from UPS, saved the hassle of repack and return of damaged unit.This turned out to be a blessing because after more thought we realized a popper with a cart would be more useful, and a black color would better match the decor.The Funtime arrived unharmed this time and I proceeded to assemble the cart....except there were no instructions. I found the assembly manual on the Funtime website - [...]What a handsome unit. Well made, sturdy and lots of storage in the cart for supplies. The popcorn is very tasty and tender (remember to leave the door open while popping to let the steam escape). I bought Great Northern Popcorn, 4-Ounce Portion Packs (Pack of 24)for ease of use.I would recommend this to anyone wanting fresh theater style popcorn for their home.P.S. The Amazon description states that a stainless scoop/measuring set and a stainless topping shaker are included....mine did not include a shaker and the scoop/measuring set was plastic. Not a big deal...but description should be updated.

It’s works really good and it’s nice however I was very disappointed when I finally opened the box to use it for my grandson party and found out that it had several dents in it. This machine was very expensive and it was to late for me to send it back because it was the day of my party when I opened the box so I am very disappointed that i was sold a machine with all these dents it looks as if it was used and returned I’m not happy at all. I would like a partial refund or a new machine with no dents

I bought this for my son & daughter in law for Christmas for their movie room. Everyone absolutely loves it. I put it together myself and it was easy. It is great looking and easy to use. Makes great tasting pop corn and stays fresh even if you leave some in there for a while. It’s very easy to clean. I highly recommend it!

**Update** once I got over the frustration of putting it together I am upping my stars to 4. I’ve now had this for 4 years. It’s held up great and we use it monthly. Does a good job and everything tastes great. Very little maintenance. Hopefully they have improved on assembly and quality control of damaged items.Came with no instructions that related to putting this together. Have a bunch of nuts and bolts and I’m looking at the pictures online to try to figure out where they go on the base. Also the top came deeply scratched on the top. It’s Christmas Eve and I’m stuck trying to make this work.

Great product. Perfect size for home with 5 people. Has real glass. Real metal, not plastic. Seems well built. We got 4 oz. Packets. Pops enough for all of us. U can get 6oz packets if you want more.

This works fine and makes good popcorn but all of the pieces came extremely banged up and bent. The glass door hinges were bent and wouldn’t work. We had to find a solution ourselves in order to fix it. Additionally the instructions that came with it were for a completely different product so we had to find the real instructions online.

I read a lot of the reviews, this is a great popcorn maker for a rec room, tons of fun, and tastes great. I have had this for 2 months, and we have not had any issues. It was easy to assemble, and worked right out of the box.

I have never written a review before however I am so upset with this purchase that I have decided to. The popcorn maker itself is ok, no complaints with that.The stand however. The stand did not come with instructions. It came with a box of loose bolts, washers, nuts (many which were missing when it was all said and done) the metal welds were done so poorly that I have bent brackets in which the popcorn machine is supposed to sit on is not level making the whole think look like junk. There are noticeable dents in every piece of metal… If I could give no stars I would. If there was any type of quality control the until I received should have ended up in a junk yard.
