We are a high school and our teenage students are the main operators of this popcorn machine...it is easy enough for them to use unsupervised and clean up afterwards. It is uncomplicated, well made and produces delicious popcorn. We're extremely happy with our machine :)

Pros: It was affordable, shipped for free, easy to assemble, works perfectly.
Cons: The kettle is hard to reach to wipe it down but ALL machines are this way.
