The kettle went bad on the machine within the first six months, then a switch went out after another few months. We make popcorn six days a week and on weekends that is multiple times per day, so we certainly work the machine. Our previous machine that we bought used at a yard sale had zero issues until her death after about three years; so this one has certainly been less reliable than the however old yard sale one. I would not buy this brand again.

Love this popcorn machine! I'm a detail person so it takes me some time to pull the trigger on a purchase; I do a lot of research. I decided on the 8 oz kettle and I couldn't be more pleased. It arrived promptly and was easy set up. It's not too heavy; I can carry it by myself (ex: from car to house). I have slight difficultly for me to get the oil packet into the kettle, but nothing to make my change my mind on the purchase. It just feels awkward but it could be that I'm a lefty or the height of my cabinet. Either way, I still love it. I highly recommend the powder cleaner for the kettle. I didn't buy it at first but it is worth it. I've cleaned the kettle without it but it's difficult to get the crust off the bottom. After my research, this site was the best value, especially with free shipping.

The school's PTO bought this popcorn machine to use at school fundraisers. It's easy to use and it's the perfect size for our needs. I've only used packaged popcorn kits (kernels, oil, salt/flavoring) and it cooks the popcorn well and quickly. Clean-up of the interior is easy with warm water and paper towels; I remove the kettle to clean it in hot, soapy water. I consider it easily portable and light as I'm a petite person and I'm able to load it into the trunk of my minivan and carry into school without having to rest on something on the way in. Be careful when cleaning the crumb tray because the edges of the slot are not smooth and I've cut myself more than once when trying to get out the crumbs that missed the tray. The scoop didn't last long - the black handle broke after using it for only 3 events. Despite the crumb tray slot and scoop being sub-par, I'm still giving this product 5-stars since those two items don't impact the overall use and functionality of this machine.

I ordered this because my mom loves popcorn. However, ordering this from webstaurantstore was scarry. As we had problems before. All in all, everything arrived quickly. I am so shocked at this company. It used to be my last option to come here, but they are moving up on the list. However, this machine is pretty cool. I would definetly pay more for the higher wattage and the cooler look of the machine. Cleaning can be somewhat of a pain, but the kettle removes easily to clean behind. The only issue is the sides. Kernels get stuck into the side. So it can be hard to remove, but not everything can be great. I purchased the Carnival King kettle popcorn for this. Not sure if it was great. We are going to play around with other companies for popcorn..

This little 4 oz popcorn is compact yet is fully equipped to do the job! It comes fully assembled, you will only need to connect the popping pot, definitely worth every penny. I've included the link to the video I created if you would like to watch a full demonstration because I was unable to upload the file to the website!

Arrived dented and scratched, not from shipping either. Waste of my time. Had to photograph it, send photos, etc. in order to send it back without having to pay for return shipping. In the process of inquiring about the refund, I was disconnected by the company rep in chat. I had asked repeatedly to speak to her superior. All-around BAD EXPERIENCE

Popcorn comes out good but you have to make sure you are using the proper amount and letting the popcorn heat up prior to adding your oil, which will produce more popped corn from our experience. We are using kits that are meant for 8 or 10 oz poppers and it seems it is pushing out a large amount of the kernels because the popcorn is too thick on the bottom of the kettle. Cleaning is a little difficult, especially if you want to clean oil and salt off windows after popping. Small space, almost impossible to clean unless you totally remove kettle which isn't practical all the time or you have to wait till completely cool. The problem is that you have a very messy machine until you can do that and it doesn't look great on the counter. Small crevices between glass and Read More

We have a large family that LOVES popcorn! We purchased this popper as a family Christmas gift and have enjoyed it since. Smaller poppers were wearing out so quickly we decided to invest in one we hope will last through our use! The lightbulb keeps the popcorn hot and fresh and we’ve had lots of compliments from visitors on its vintage look and the taste of the popcorn. The only reason for four stars is that the kettle did wear out after about 4 months but webstraurant sent us a new kettle for free that fixed the problem! We would recommend this purchase!

I received my Carnival King Royal Series 8oz Commercial Popcorn machine just in time for my big New Years Eve Party. I was shocked at the large size, features and how quickly it popped and kept the popcorn warm all night for just over 200 dollars. It cleans easily and we store it on top of my husband beer fridge for easy access. It was the hit of the party and has been used every day since. A must have for the popcorn lover. It tastes just like movie theater popcorn right at home.

This popcorn maker works great! The matching looks great, heat lamp works well as well as the tray to catch kernels. The four not five stars is the inside base is difficult to keep clean.

This thing is a piece of garbage. For some reason it came stirrer rod, but it doesn't do anything but hold the lid on the kettle so there is no agitation and therefore the unit just burns half the kernels. Don't waste your money- buy the next size up for the stirrer rod switch. I wish I had just put it back in the box and returned it before I tried to use it as now I have an expensive electric paper weight. Very disappointing- this product should not be sold.

We are so happy with our brand new popcorn machine. At the Eagles Aerie, we hold many community functions like bingo, karaoke night, dinners and other fun events. The popcorn machine is a MUST HAVE for these events, and after trying to patch up the old one, long enough, we decided to purchase a new one from your company and could not be happier with it. No more burned popcorn smell in our Aerie. Only the wonderful smells of freshly popped corn. The only problem now? We can't seem to keep up with the demand. Before it's done popping, there is a line ready to grab it. Thank you for this terrific machine.

Bought the commercial popcorn machine WITH warranty and yet we have to replace the bucket (12 oz. Popcorn Kettle for PM50NR) every couple months. But now that we need it yet again, we can't get a hold of anyone to send out a new one??? We bought one (Carnival King commercial popcorn machine) a couple years ago, that one was better but the bucket would still go out but not as quick...

Pops quickly, but not efficiently. Lots of old maids. The release handle for the kettle is the worse design. IT IS NOT SAFE!!! You will get burnt without the use of an oven mitt to protect your knuckles.

We use our machine for our school store run by the special education program. After only one month of making 4-5 batches of popcorn each day during the workweek, the machine stopped heating up to cook the popcorn This is the second machine we've bought of Carnival King in the last 2 years and have had 2 other kettles sent to us for the same issue in the past. Webstaurant has been great at handling our issues and supplying us with replacements but it is clearly a manufacturing issue on Carnival King.
