Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros: It looked nice on my bar from afar. Really big size. Cons: 1st machine ordered: Looked used, looked water stained inside top of machine (like water spots everywhere), scratched several places outside of machine, kettle scratched, doors to machine did not line up, bottom inside (where popcorn lands) looked water stained, the outside of steel looked faded or worn out. 2nd Machine: Same as above but also dented and doors looked more off than first machine (not lined up properly) Also found out may rust later on so maybe mine was already rusting. I did try to clean it, but stains remained. Really Disappointed. I bought this machine after I thought I did a thorough review. I went online and looked at videos, different pricing and other people's reviews. So I thought I did my job right. Well, I didn't. When I received the product it looked like it had been used! The inside top of machine was water stained, the outside of machine was scratched and dirty looking, the "stainless steel" looked faded, the kettle was scratched and the inside bottom had water stains. I thought it was a mistake so I replaced it. This is the only good thing: I ordered from Amazon Prime so they were really easy to deal with! Well, the second one that came in was worse! It had all the scratches, water stains, but this one was also dented on the outside! So I contacted the company and asked if all their products were like this and they said no, that I must had gotten one that had an issue. However, I explained that I had TWO that came the same way. They were very fast and nice with their response,but not too helpful since all they told me was that I would have to deal with Amazon because they were the ones who sold it to me. So I returned the product. After reading more reviews, I found out that A LOT of people complained that after a couple of months the top rusted! Not just on amazon but other forums too. I guess mine was probably already starting to rust. Who wants rust in their pop corn? So I will save my money and buy a Gold Medal or Paragon. If your investing in a popcorn machine this big, that means you really use it. So why not spend the extra money and invest in one you won't need to replace because it's cheaply made? Save yourself the trouble. This is the one I bought Great Northern Popcorn 6010 Roosevelt Top Antique Style Popcorn Popper Machine, 8-Ounce
