My parents and I regularly visited the local theater to catch the latest kid-friendly flick; my grandma frequently treated me to a matinee show at the mall after a fun day of shopping; and my high school friends and I occasionally saw the latest action movie in the fancy seats at the big theater chain. And no matter which theater I was at or what time of day it was, I <em>always<\/em> ordered popcorn.\r\n\r\nMovie theater popcorn is the best. And while our Test Kitchen found the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-popcorn-maker\/\">best popcorn makers<\/a> for the average household, there's something altogether different (and extra) about a movie theater-style popcorn machine. For the last month I've been popping corn in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nostalgia-Popcorn-Professional-Interior-Measuring\/dp\/B000V73JNW?tag=tohmke-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nostalgia Vintage Popcorn Cart<\/a> for everyone who's stopped by, eager to show off this popcorn-producing wonder.\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"We Tried It\" product_name=\"Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Machine\" short_description=\"Make movie nights even more special with the real working Nostalgia popcorn maker.\" image=\"2119882\" pr_name=\"Amazon\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nostalgia-Popcorn-Professional-Interior-Measuring\/dp\/B000V73JNW?tag=tohmke-20\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" retailers_2_name=\"Wayfair\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2Fkitchen-tabletop%2Fpdp%2Fnostalgia-vintage-8-ounce-professional-popcorn-and-concession-cart-53-inches-tall-makes-32-cups-of-popcorn-kernel-measuring-cup-oil-measuring-spoon-and-scoop-13-inch-wheels-nst1031.html%3Fpiid%3D54418895\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" retailers_3_name=\"Walmart\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/goto.walmart.com\/c\/1269669\/565706\/9383?veh=aff&amp;sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FNostalgia-Appliances-Popcorn-Cart-Vintage-Movie-Theatre-Popcorn-Machine-Red%2F6561006\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" \/]\r\n<h2>What is the Nostalgia Popcorn Machine?<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1783400 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Popcorn-machine-Emily-Parulski-4-JVedit.jpg?fit=700,700\" alt=\"popped popcorn in the Popcorn Machine\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nostalgia-Popcorn-Professional-Interior-Measuring\/dp\/B000V73JNW?tag=tohmke-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nostalgia popcorn machine<\/a> is a vintage-style, professional popcorn cart. It adds the perfect ambience to home movie theaters or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-host-outdoor-movie-night\/\">outdoor movie nights<\/a>. If you crave movie theater-style popcorn, then you'll love this popcorn cart.\r\n\r\nUnlike traditional popcorn makers, this machine can make up to 32 cups of popcorn at a time. That's great for families with a lot of kiddos or for people who like to entertain. Why just have a snack when you can have an experience?\r\n<h2>How We Tested It<\/h2>\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nostalgia-Popcorn-Professional-Interior-Measuring\/dp\/B000V73JNW?tag=tohmke-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">popcorn machine<\/a> comes in a large box and assembly is required. Setting up the cart wasn't too difficult, but it did take a few hours to get all the pieces in the right places. After wiping down the kettle and inside the unit, I was ready for my inaugural pop.\r\n\r\nAfter making a few batches, I quickly got the hang of it. Pro tip from my husband, who worked at Marcus Theatres during high school: Make sure to flip the kettle immediately after turning it off to prevent the popcorn from burning. Thank you, March 2004 Employee of the Month!\r\n\r\nOnce I felt comfortable operating the machine, I invited friends and family over so I could share this whimsical popcorn experience with them.\r\n<h2>Nostalgia Popcorn Machine Product Features<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1783401 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Popcorn-Machine-Emily-Parulski-2-JVedit.jpg?fit=700,700\" alt=\"nostalgia Popcorn Machine in a basement\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nostalgia-Popcorn-Professional-Interior-Measuring\/dp\/B000V73JNW?tag=tohmke-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nostalgia Vintage Popcorn Cart<\/a> stands 53 inches tall. For such a large machine, I was pleasantly surprised at how narrow it is. It doesn't take up as much room in my basement as I thought it would. It conveniently tucks into the corner near the outlet, yet is still accessible for making delicious popcorn whenever I like.\r\n\r\nIts 8-ounce kettle can pop up to 32 cups of popcorn in just a few minutes. Any kernels that don't pop fall into a removable tray underneath the unit. The kettle can be removed for easy cleaning, too. Simply pop it off the supporting brackets and wipe it down or soak in hot, soapy water.\r\n\r\nThere is a storage compartment below the unit, which is great for storing all the popcorn supplies like the popcorn scooper and two measuring cups that came with it. Just one more thing I love about this machine!\r\n\r\nPart of the retro look is the wheels\u2014and they're not just for show. If you need to move your cart to the other side of the room, simply grab the handle and wheel it on over. Speaking of transportation: the top unit is removable, so you can set it on a counter somewhere else and use it that way, too. I haven't tried that yet, but I'm tempted to bring it over to my parents' house for a traveling popcorn party.\r\n\r\nLast thing: Make sure to turn on the light while it's running! This creates a nice ambience, and it makes it easier to see your snack.\r\n<h3>Pros<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Makes delicious movie theater-style popcorn<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Retro looks adds a nice ambience to a home movie theater room or wherever you keep it<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Can pop up to 32 cups of popcorn at a time\u2014great for large families or parties<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Easy to move around the room, thanks to its wheels<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Top unit is removable and can be used on a countertop<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Cons<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Takes up a lot of space<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Pricier than a traditional popcorn maker<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Not practical for small households<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-1783402 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Popcorn-Machine-Emily-Parulski-8-JVedit.jpg?fit=700,700\" alt=\"nostalgia Popcorn packs\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n<h2>What Other Reviews Had to Say<\/h2>\r\nWith 4.6 stars and over 7,500 ratings, it's clear other customers love this machine as much as I do.\r\n\r\nOne 5-star reviewer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/customer-reviews\/R43T5HB47ZRQM\/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B000V73JNW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crazycakes<\/a>, says, \"I purchased this back in December as a Christmas present for our media room. I was really hesitant to get it as I was afraid it would be kind of gimmicky and more novelty, less functional. After looking at several different models and reading reviews I went with this one. My family loves it! We use it several times a week and I am happy to say it makes great popcorn.\"\r\n\r\nAnother 5-star reviewer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/customer-reviews\/R2IZS4ZZGWQV2B\/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B000V73JNW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">K. White<\/a>, says that \"firing this baby up is guaranteed to turn around the bleakest of days or enhance any movie. The best part is that it\u2019s just the right size, is easy to assemble (took only one person), looks genuinely cute, and functions perfectly after heavy use.\"\r\n\r\nAs for the taste? People are pleased. According to Amazon reviewer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/customer-reviews\/R2NN6HELRMLJQQ\/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B000V73JNW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kelly<\/a>, \"I use mine at least 4-5 times a week. My boys and I love it...To me it tastes way better than microwave popcorn...\"\r\n<h2><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2119881 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Popcorn-Machine-Knob_Emily-Way.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Popcorn Machine Knob Emily Parulski\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2>Long Term Update<\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I still use my <span data-markjs=\"true\">popcorn<\/span> maker once or twice a month. It\u2019s working just as good as day one! I wipe it down with a paper towel after each use, and that keeps it from getting too dirty. There\u2019s just a little buildup on the glass, but that will go away after a deep clean.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only minor annoyance with this <span data-markjs=\"true\">popcorn<\/span> machine is that the inside cord gets caught on the door closure when you flip the kettle over. It\u2019s not a big deal\u2014you just have to move it back so you can close the door. But it\u2019s something you have to deal with every time.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One final note: It looks like there should be a knob on the front where you scoop the <span data-markjs=\"true\">popcorn<\/span>. (According to the online picture, there isn\u2019t supposed to be one.) It\u2019s easy to pull down this part by hand, so it\u2019s not a big annoyance. But it would be helpful to have. Especially because there\u2019s a tiny hole that looks like something should be there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\r\nDoes the average person need this popcorn maker? Probably not. But large families, people who love to entertain or movie buffs who can't get enough popcorn would be very happy with this purchase. It's a splurge, sure, but it's super fun and makes tasty popcorn\u2014lots of it!\r\n<h2>Where To Buy the Nostalgia Popcorn Machine<\/h2>\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"We Tried It\" product_name=\"Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Machine\" short_description=\"This nostalgic popcorn machine makes movie nights a breeze.\" image=\"1783398\" pr_name=\"Amazon\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nostalgia-Popcorn-Professional-Interior-Measuring\/dp\/B000V73JNW?tag=tohmke-20\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" retailers_2_name=\"Wayfair\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2Fkitchen-tabletop%2Fpdp%2Fnostalgia-vintage-8-ounce-professional-popcorn-and-concession-cart-53-inches-tall-makes-32-cups-of-popcorn-kernel-measuring-cup-oil-measuring-spoon-and-scoop-13-inch-wheels-nst1031.html%3Fpiid%3D54418895\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" retailers_3_name=\"Walmart\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/goto.walmart.com\/c\/1269669\/565706\/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FNostalgia-Appliances-Popcorn-Cart-Vintage-Movie-Theatre-Popcorn-Machine-Red%2F6561006\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" \/]\r\n\r\nYou can purchase the Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Professional Cart on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nostalgia-Popcorn-Professional-Interior-Measuring\/dp\/B000V73JNW?tag=tohmke-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fnostalgiaproducts.com%2Fcollections%2Fpopcorn%2Fproducts%2Fccp510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the brand's website<\/a>.

As a passionate home baker, she now leads Bakeable, Taste Recipes's baking community.\r\n<h3>What kind of popcorn can you use?<\/h3>\r\nThis machine works with any regular or premium brand of popcorn kernels. You can use any popcorn cooking oil, though the brand recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/thrivemarket.com\/p\/thrive-market-organic-refined-coconut-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coconut oil<\/a> for best results.\r\n\r\nTo keep things simple for testing, I\u00a0ordered the brand's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nostalgia-KPP424-Tasting-Premium-Seasoning\/dp\/B00472MN70\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">popcorn packs<\/a>, which include pre-measured kernels, oil and seasoning for 16 cups of popcorn.\r\n<h3>Can you make flavored popcorn?<\/h3>\r\nYes! Besides the classic butter and salt combo, you can make a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/flavored-popcorn-recipes\/\">flavored popcorn recipes<\/a>. The instruction manual also includes recipes for vintage popcorn balls, chunky monkey popcorn snack mix and popcorn peppermint bark.\r\n<h3>How do you clean the machine?<\/h3>\r\nAfter each use, you should give the machine a light cleaning. After letting it cool down completely, wipe down the inside and outside of the kettle, and inside of the unit. Then, empty the tray of any unpopped kernels. This usually takes me five minutes and hasn't felt like too much of a hassle.\r\n\r\nFor a deeper clean, remove the kettle and wash in hot, soapy water.
