Helman Group OFP501 Old-Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker

Pros: Very easy to use. Uses hot air.Pops most seeds.

Cons: Does not pop every single seed.

Review: I bought this popcorn maker because it looked cool and it uses hot air. It does a great job by popping almost every corn. It is VERY easy to use you just put in the popcorn seeds and turn it on and before you know it you have a bowl of popcorn. Like I ...

Pros: Very easy to make

Cons: Leaves many unpopped kernels

The Bottom Line: Overall, this a a great machine that makes some good popcorn and best of all anyone can use it!!

Review: This is a machine that any popcorn lover should have. It is very easy to use and definetly makes good popcorn. I got this off ebay and got it used and it still works just great. I think that it is very easy to use, all you have to do is pour in the...

Pros: easy to use, attractive.

Cons: messy!

The Bottom Line: Would be a fun addition to a family movie night, but note that corn flies on the counter and floor.

Review: I received the Old Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker as a gift for Christmas this year. This is a hot air popcorn popper that resembles those of the late 1800's and early 1900's. Not really sure how much they cost, but I can tell you that they are ...

Pros: Attractively designed, Cooks popcorn quickly, easy and quick to clean

Cons: Noisy, doesn't cook all of the popcorn, housing gets very hot during operation

Review: This machine is attractively designed and is a fun little kit. However, like many have already said, the unit stresses form over function. The machine gets very hot when working. Even after shutting the unit off, I have burned my hand on the "glass" ...

Pros: Would make an excellent weapon, maybe!!

Cons: Too expensive, hard to use

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this popcorn maker at all!!! Save your money and go buy some microwave popcorn!!!

Review: I work at a store that sells kitchen supplies and one day the manager decided to try one of these things out. I don't think I have ever seen a kitchen appliance that was as hard to use as this one! It is not worth the time, money, or effort to use one...

Pros: Very cool in appearance

Cons: Lots of unpopped kernels; cannot fit large bowl under spout

The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend this popper because of the wasted kernels, small yields, and difficulty fitting a bowl under the popper's spout.

Review: While nice to look it, this popper perfomed poorly. It left a LOT of unpoppsd kernels. Unlike other hot air poppers, you can only put a small amount of kernels in the popper, so the amount of popped popcorn is less that what you can get from other...

Pros: Easy to use.

Cons: Bowl cannot sit near machine due to wheels. Overheats and stops working.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this if a workaround for problem I had with it was available.

Review: Recieved this as a gift.

Made a great bowl of popcorn the first time I used it. I underfilled it a bit, and as the directions had warned, a few unpopped kernels were blown out of the machine ahead of time.

The second time (a day...

Pros: None. Looks are NOT enough.

Cons: It simply did not pop the corn well.

The Bottom Line: You can do a lot better for a lot less. Do not buy this product.

Review: I received this unit as a gift. Thank goodness, because I would be real mad if I wasted my own money. I am a long time popcorn popping fan, and I've used other hot air popcorn devices for many years. There's not much high tech thinking that goes into ...

Pros: It looks nice.

Cons: Many unpopped kernels come out the shoot and then pop in the bowl.

The Bottom Line: I would say do not buy this product as it is a waste of money. Unless you plan on simply using as a decoration, forget about making popcorn.

Review: I received this as a gift. Do NOT purchase this product.

Many un-popped kernels come out the shoot and then pop
once they hit the bowl (or table) then they fly across
the room. You must have a broom handy as they scatter across the...

Pros: There are no pros.

Cons: It can hurt someone!

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this to anyone! It is not worth it, it is a waste of money!

Review: We got this popcorn maker for Christmas because we thought our kids would really love it! My son is 3 and my daughter is over 1 year old. They both love popcorn and it is their favorite snack. My son was so excited that he wanted to pop some on ...
