The Circus Popcorn Popper we purchased was a perfect fit in our recreational area. We use it as often as we can. The popcorn is just as good as the movie theater and this comes from an avid popcorn Connoisseur.

I saw one in a gourmet chef store like this one but it was much bigger. It is so hard to tell online how small this one is compared to the other. But for $100 cheaper than the store model, I guess it is worth it. It does have a good size kettle. I like the way it pops the corn. But also left a lot of unpopped corn too. Difficult to clean. But overall,I would still buy it again. I am a popcorn lover!

I actually bought this one for a friend but have one in my family room too! This past Easter my nephews kept asking if they could make more popcorn and "how much did it cost?". Guess I can get a start on my Christmas shopping early for them.

I enjoy using my circus cart popcorn maker. My only complaint, which isn't a show stopper is; at times the popcorn maker doesn't flavor all kernels evenly. I have noticed that some kernels are saltier or more buttery than others, but it certainly isn't bad enough to not get the machine. To solve this problem, I try to distribute the ingredients evenly in the kettle, rather than dumping them all in; however that is difficult because at the time that you are to add the popcorn, the kettle is hot. I have found my work arounds and still enjoy the machine very much. I also purchased another as a gift.

Great Family Gift.

We are really enjoying our new popcorn maker! It was easy to put together and very easy to use. My only compaint would be it's a little awkward putting the oil in without spilling any. We haven't cleaned it yet, but without too many parts, it shouldn't be a problem. The result is great tasting popcorn!

What a fun product!

This darling, fun popcorn machine makes movie theater style popcorn. Much better than microwave. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Only obstacle was figuring out which screws they did not pack, but once that was solved it was very easy assembly. I'll never go back to microwave popcorn!!
