This is a hit it our house popcorn daily.

Excellent Popcorn Machine

I bought this to have in our family room for movie nights and football seasons. I love that it doesn’t have that carnival, state fair/circus look. It sits aesthetically in the room delivering that amazing theater popcorn aroma. It comes completely assembled and ready to use after removing the protective laser tape and minor packaging. It’s built like a tank! Our old cheaper circus looking popper lasted two years, then started showing rust on the top of the inside cabinet. This one should last us many many years rust free. The one downside is that the two front doors are just plexiglass and scratch easily! I recommend using a plastic scoop that comes with the popper, not the metal bag filler kind. One bump with a metal scoop, and it will leave a scratch on the door. Replacement doors are $50…EACH! The surrounding cabinet windows are tempered glass and are lightly tinted, they look great. Cleaning after use takes me about 20-25 minutes to get it looking like new again. It’s expensive, but you get what you pay for. The popcorn that comes with the popper is so good and healthier than other brands. Coconut oil and seasoning salt. I put in all but a 1/2 teaspoon of the supplied seasoning, it’s perfect that way for our tastes. You wont be disappointed!

[Rewarded Review] Commercial quality, worth the price tag.

Excellent machine! Perfect popped corn with almost no unpopped kernels. Commercial quality and easy to use and maintain. Wipe out the kettle with a wet towel, and the floor, bottom stainless door, and the kernel tray all come out to get hand washed. Whole machine is built to last. I am using the Great Northern 8oz popcorn and its great.

The popcorn machine required minimal/ no assembly minus peeling the protective coating from the stainless steel parts. Very easy to use and clean. Produces AWESOME theater quality popcorn we love it!

Love this Popcorn machine. Fits perfect on the counter in my home theater area. Neighbors are all ordering one after having the popcorn at my place.

Box arrived opened, staples used to secure box dont hold due to the weight and size of the item. Smoked glass looks nice, front doors are clear not smoked. “Popcorn” design letters are only silver stickers and peel right off. Makes great popcorn!

Ships fully assembled, only had to remove laser film from the metal parts. Super simple to operate, instructions that you can stick to whatever surface you want to. Only complaint is that the lid to the kettle doesn't go up high enough to get a 1 cup measuring cup to dump in the kernels.

Totally amazing

I looked around for about a month and finally decided on the contempo 8oz. Popped our first batch and it was amazing. Only 5 old maids the first time and was really easy to clean. After reading a bunch of reviews, we learned that you let the kettle heat up for 6 minutes. Then add the oil and let it heat up for 45 seconds to a minute. Then add the seasonings and the popcorn kernels. We bought the great northern all-in-one premium tri-pac. The only difficult thing was actually loading in the oil, I got burned once on the kettle. Now that I did, it it won't happen again. I would definitely recommend this. Happy popping!

Great popcorn machine, simple to operate and very easy to wipe down and to clean. I like it as well as my old Star popper. I highly recommend Paragon popcorn machines.

Makes good popcorn but it took some inquiries to get the process down. It doesn't say in the instructions but ideally, use 1/3 cup coconut oil and 1 cup popcorn. Would be nice if item included these measuring cups so there is no confusion. Instead, it includes a measuring utensils for an unknown purpose. Design could use some improvement as well. The kettle is somewhat difficult to clean with the flaps in the way. Would be nice if the whole top was removable for better cleaning access. Same goes for the inside of the popper. Lots of nooks and crannies where oil, seasoning and bits of popcorn can accumulate.
