Funtime FT825CR Antique Carnival-Style 8-Ounce Tabletop Hot-Oil Popcorn Popper, Red Review

Our popper has exceeded our expectations. It heats up and pops very fast, and the eight ounce servings can be cranked out fast to cater to a large crowd. Oil is steaming in about 90 seconds, add corn, and about three minutes later the corn is popped. Very fast and just what we needed. It cleans up relatively easily by just wiping it with a warm dish cloth and paper towels after rinsing the kettle out with hot water (if using coconut oil which cleans up easier than most oils). A bonus is that kids and adults light up when they see it and all have said the popcorn tastes great. So far we have only used the pre-measured corn and oil as I bought a case and we haven't finished all of that yet. But it looks like measuring out your own corn/oil will work just as well.

Finally, someone at the local hardware store has a popper they use to give customers free popcorn. One day I was there and they had caramel corn. I mentioned to the owner that I had just bought a popper and he gave us a packet of Gold Meadow caramel glaze to try. I had no idea you could buy a glaze and use this to make caramel corn but it does. It's messy to clean up, but hey, it's caramel corn!

Updated November 2011:

I scrutinized different models on Amazon and realized that this popper is a bit larger than most and it has a more convenient split front door hinged on either side and most others do not have that nice feature. Carefully check the "Product Dimensions" on any model you are considering and there is a lot of variation on the sizes that is not apparent in the pictures. Also, you can use the pictures to notice if the door is hinged on only one side. The heating wattage on this is the highest I found on a non-commercially priced popper. Probably why it gets the oil steaming so fast.

We have now used inexpensive Kroger brand popcorn with Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 15-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 2) in our popper and it came out better than the two kinds of prepackaged corn we bought. and you can make smaller servings if just needed for one or two people. We tried several shake on cheese and herb seasonings and all were delicious. The two brands of prepackaged we bought were fine but nothing special: Country Harvest Popcorn Portion-Pack for 8-Ounce Poppers (Regular Case, 24-Count) and Great Northern Popcorn, 8-Ounce Portion Packs (Pack of 24). The Great Northern was much too salty for our tastes so we use less than half the seasoning for that brand.
