I bought this for an elementary schook for PTA snack sales. It works really well and is pretty easy to clean. We bought 1 oz bags from SAMS as well, but get about 8 bags per cycle. Popping cycle only takes a few minutes and the kids like seeing it pop! Good investment for the future.

This is our fourth machine, not because they aren't any good but because we wore them out. We pop corn all day long, six days per week for customers for the last 20 years. So the machines just don't last forever but five or more years each and six days per week is a great recommendation to the quality and longevity of the popcorn machine. The only thing I would recommend to improve the machine is to put the heavy duty thicker doors on the front right from the factory. other than that they are a great machine. We will purchase it again when we wear this new one out.

This is a replacement for a 10 year old popper we used at work several times a week and at events. Awesome machine!

Works great, looks like it's built sturdy and should last a long while.

I have 3 of these in 3 different concession stands. Haven’t had one break yet.

What can I say me and my mother love popcorn. It is a very nice popcorn machine

We had to replace our popper for the organization! we replaced it with the same model as we had and purchased it, again, through Sam's! It is a very good product, dependable and pops fast!

Pops Fast, easy to clean, and looks good. I had a smaller popper that was hard to clean and took too long to pop. My Gold Medal makes movie time a happy time.

We are very happy with this popcorn popper. It is just what we hoped it would be. A little large just to hang out in the kitchen but we've had lots of fun with it - and so have our grandchildren

We purchased this popcorn machine for a high school concession stand. It is perfect for our gym concessions where space is an issue. We purchased this same model 10 years ago, it is still producing! It fills about 4 2.8oz boxes of popcorn per batch. Boxes are 5 3/4" x 2 1/2" x 8 1/2". We pre-fill the boxes. If you have a high volume stand, you will need to purchase a larger machine.
