The family made their first batch of popcorn  (12-23-2014) w/ your portion packs 8oz. size with the Princeton Popcorn Machine with cart. Everyone loved the popcorn. We are very impressed with the quality of workmanship of this machine. It's a very pretty red color too. It's  not a orange red.  My daughter and grandchildren just loved it. We liked the idea 3 different switches. Not just 1 switch for everything. If you want to keep the light on you can. An attractive looking popcorn maker.. It will be enjoyed much!!!!
