It took me awhile to write this review because we wanted to use the popcorn cart for awhile first. This is an excellent machine The popcorn has popped perfect every time, the machine is sturdy and the design is beautiful. This was a great purchase.  My family loves it especially my grandkids.  It’s one of the highlights of their visit to go down in the basement with granddad to watch the popcorn pop. Great purchase.
