El producto llegó antes del tiempo estipulado, sin embargo, la puerta de cristal llegó completamente granulada ya que es vidrio templado, desconozco si es responsabilidad del transportista o del fabricante, pero es triste la situación. :(

Es una maravilla de palomera, crea excelentes momentos en familia, aún no me salen las palomitas tan crujientes como en el cine o las de olla o microondas, pero sigo haciendo mis pruebas.

Ideal para fiestas y reuniones muy práctica y funcional gran capacidad y muy buenos materiales

El producto llega muy protegido a tiempo y es exactamente como se muestra en las imágenes lo recomiendo 100 %

Justamente lo que promete, me encantó además de que las hace súper rápido

Llego bien empacado, pero con 2 detalles, venia un tornillo mas largo que el otro (en la puerta) y venia un poco doblada la puerta de abajo de aluminio (donde de hacia atras para cuando sacas las palomitas), si prende, aun no la probamos, pero todo lo demas se ve excelente, vino con todo lo de la foto.

Buenísimo para tus fiestas o negocio

I am quite happy with the build quality of this unit, given price, however I did need to make some adjustments.Problem: I noticed, after a few batches on this new machine, that the popcorn was chewy and yields seemed low. Additionally, quite a few un-popped kernels were left in the kettle. The kernels looked slightly burnt and were partially split.Solution: Kettle temperature needed to be lowered.It took me some experimentation and reading to figure out that the kettle temperature was actually too high. The manufacturer did send me a guide to adjust but honestly, it was useless, aside from the fact that they confirmed both thermostats need to adjusted together. There was no indication of a target temp. They did advise that boiling a cup of water should take 3 minutes, but this tells you nothing if the thermostat is set too high..it just confirms the element is working. Guessing the temp is potentially dangerous as once you get into the 500 F range, an oil fire could occur. The factory setting was too hot by about 100 F. Turns out popcorn kernels like to pop around 360 F (180 C) according to some published science experiments.How to adjust the kettle temperature thermostats on a Great Northern Popcorn Machine:The "kettle" has an inner pot (which integrates the element and thermostats and an outer pot which are easy to separate with three top mounted bolts. Removing the kettle entirely from the machine makes it much easier to test.I removed the kettle from the machine, placing it on a silicon oven mitt, and plugged it directly into the wall. The power meter here shows 5.66 amps used by the element. I used the EM100 (see attached pic) as it is easy to see when the the element thermostat cuts power to the element. While testing, the inner and outer pot will be sitting loose, so you need to take care as there are live wires in there!! Unplug it before adjusting the thermostats! Both thermostats should open (either one of them opening will cut power to the element) once the element has reached its temperature set point. Then they will close (sending power again to the element) once the kettle temp has cooled 20-30 F.My trusty Fluke 179 multi meter (an awesome tool!!) came with an 80BK-A thermocouple which worked well to check the temps of the kettle base. I tried an infrared temp gun which read 100 degrees too cold...so I would not use one to test. It took me quite a few tries and popcorn tests to figure out that the ideal temp for the element to cut off was about 395 F (200 C) as it cools to just below 360 F (180 C) and then cycles on again. This keeps the kettle in that "magic" 360 F range for popping. (see attached pic)There are two thermostats on the base, which I'm guessing is for safety (vs using a thermal fuse) but they work a bit differently. One "pops" on and off with an audible click and the other has contacts which move slowly. I set the slow contact thermostat a bit higher than the "pop" version (on the right side of the pic) as I assumed that one is the safety backup. 1/4 turn will adjust about 40 F.I should note too that if the ceramic insulators on your thermostat (there may only be one thermostat) are white, that the increase/decrease directions are opposite to what you see in the attached picture.

Just used it for the first time today. Super easy set up, and clear instructions. It worked perfectly and made a generous amount of the best popcorn I think I've ever had! Seriously. I bought the flavacol and the Wabash valley farms coconut oil as well. They are a superstar trio. I had really high expectations and it surpassed them. You won't be disappointed.EDIT: It's been over a year. I use this machine weekly, and have used it for events as well. It's a wonderful machine. I now only use normal costco coconut oil and the flavocol. Winning combo. Everyone loves it. Its unfortunate that the ratings are effected by those that say they buy it exclusively for schools or fundraising, then complain about the size. If it's meant to make an income, you need to spend the money for the machine that would be better suited for that. This one can put it out, but is not meant for commercial use.Bottom line I LOVE this machine. Works great, easy to maintain and makes the best popcorn ever in just minutes.

Had a 2 oz popcorn kettle machine an wanted a bigger one.Veen looking at the great northern for a while now.Not sure about the other reviews but mine came in perfect shape box was in perfect condition.Out of the box all was perfectly intact.Agreeing with other reviews on the door. There is a gap that some popcorn flies out. Not a lot but a few. Will get a magnet and plate to cover it but its minor.I knew the ratio on my small popper but need to tweak it went on the current recommendation for 8oz poppers1 cup kernels1/3 cup coconut oil1tbsp of flavacol (though I would use 3/4 tbsp as it is salty).So far an excellent machine and an excellent purchase.Thanks Great Northern Popcorn!!!

This popcorn machine is very nice. Some buyers mentioned the door has a gap, that's true and is a design oversight. I had to move the magnet further back for the door to close properly by unscrewing the magnet on one side. The kettle takes getting used to (removing and installing it) it doesn't go in and out very easily - in part because the kettle has to be installed sideways instead of frontal installation like larger machine for this type of kettle.Make no mistake this machine pops popcorn very well providing instructions are followed and good quality popcorn is used.Cleaning is a breeze because of the high grade material used for the glass and the large kettle size makes it easy to clean the inside. I had a 2.5oz machine and 'glass' was made of plastic and was impossible to clean.I do recommend this machine. The look is very nice, professional and I'm happy with it, price paid 201$ CAD.
