Customer Reviews for GREAT NORTHERN Little Bambino 2.5 oz. Red Countertop Popcorn Machine

I found one of these sitting on the curb in my neighborhood. It was in excellent shape so I snagged it. Brought it home turned it on, and it works perfectly! I disassembled everything and really gave it a good cleaning. Followed the instructions on the front of the unit, and made I nice portion of hot popcorn. I like the removable catch tray at the bottom, and the kettle is removable as well as its respective lid.

This machine works great. It's a little messy when you use it. The oil splatters everywhere inside, but that's ok for me. I only use this when we have company over and we plan to make several batches of popcorn. Other than that it's a great machine.

Great little popper. Gave to my kids for christmas. It was a hit! Works like a charm.

I love it so much especially for movie nights!!!

Awesome little machine!

Perfect countertop popper with big cinema taste!

I got this as an "extra" gift for my wife since we enjoy popcorn as a snack. I must say my expectations were not that high, when I was purchasing, but I thought it was a novel gift idea. After using it for a month now, we are very impressed with this little machine. It does an excellent job of popping up a small batch of popcorn, we usually make two batches at a time, one right after the other. The only drawback, which I find not a big problem at all, is it is a little difficult to clean in the pot after use. The openings are small to get your hand in to wipe it out while it is installed in the machine. You could remove it from the machine each time to clean it if you feel the need, I don't. All in all, we love using this machine to make our popcorn snack. I would recommend this to anyone with the counter-space to spare.

Nice nostalgic look. Makes great popcorn!

What a pleasant and enjoyable surprise! The Great Northern Little Bambino Popcorn Machine was a real hit in our home this Holiday. Santa left this for our son and wow was he excited...we all were! The machine itself is a beauty, a bit of nostalgia here. We bought the 2.5oz popcorn packets to use with this machine. It was easy to place the kettle in and pour the oil packet and popcorn....within 2 minutes the popcorn was popping...IMPRESSIVE! We were thrilled that 2.5oz makes a decent amount of popcorn which popped nicely in the included plastic catch tray that you place on the bottom of the maker. The cleaning was not as difficult as I read. I would say it was pretty easy. I cleaned the walls and the kettle in minutes and it was as good as new and ready for the next bag of popcorn. We have used this machine for 5 days and each time is just as exciting as the next. It's impressive, sturdy and really a lot of fun for all of us! We highly recommend this popper.

We bought it for our theater room and absolutely love it. Comes out just like your at the movie theater. So glad we purchased it.

Bought as a Christmas gift.

Easy to assemble

The price was reasonable and product was super easy to use

It worked fine, but just looked cheaply made and sounded like it wasn’t going to last that long.

Easy to assemble and easy to use!

Not what I expected, did not make a gallon as advertised

The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because it is difficult to clean. The kettle is very small. It is hard to get your hand in to clean. If you plan on wiping out the inside of the kettle after each use, I recommend buying the popper with the 4oz kettle. It is double the price but much easier to maintain.

Came Cracked and dirty.

Pocorn is delicious! Just like movie theater. Very cute and easy to use. Had a little bit of trouble attaching the kettle and I wish it were easier to clean the kettle. But overall, my family loves this lil machine and it’s great for our movie nights!

Great addition to my home sports bar theme

Great tasting popcorn!

the machine is solid and looks nice.....the popcorn doesn't pop so good but my grandchildren loved it!

Love it and popcorn tastes amazing. Popcorn tastes like theater quality. The smell in the house when I pop popcorn is amazing . And for the price it’s an amazing deal.

Assembly instructions were vague but the machine makes great popcorn and it’s very easy to use.

Lil Bambino works excellent, great price and shipping was fast

Amazing, taste like your at the movies. Only takes a few minutes. My grandson loves this. We all do!!
