Hi, I am inquiring about buying this popcorn machine. I see the dimensions are 30" by 16.5 by 14.5 deep. Does that mean that this is a big machine?

Yes it is a rather large machine. Considered commercial size & quality but I would not recommend it. I went through two of them in a concession stand in 3 months or so just using them 1 night a week. Finally bought a used STAR brand and no more problems.

This machine is the perfect size. Not as big as the one at the movie theater but bigger than the cart-style machine. I have mine on a medium sized round table in my spare room. Can easily make/hold 3 batches. We use it regularly and love it. It is not the size machine you can pick up and move by yourself but not a huge commercial size either. Just right!

This machine only pops 1/3 of a cup of unpopped popcorn at a time. Perhaps a bigger machine will suit you better if you are looking for more popcorn to be made.

Don't know...would not buy this popcorn maker as it leaves a lot of unpoped popcorn.

This is the 1st Machine I've ever Used, Nothing to compare it with, so I'm assuming it just is the 'AVERAGE' size? Good Luck! PS, GREAT MACHINE! I've had it well over a year, use it every day, & I've NEVER had a Problem!

The cinner container is 6 1/2 inches in height and 7 1/2 inches in width. When I'm not making ice cream, I use the inner container to store bags of frozen veggies. This way, the space is being used as oppposed to being wasted space.lol It's totally worth it to buy this machine.

To go along with this popcorn maker I bought a popcorn kit that had the popcorn,butter and also seasoning so I really don't remember how big the popcorn bags where. Maybe they still sell the kits and you can see there. I bought them on amazon. Hope you get a answer.

I haven't physically measured the amount produced, but I can estimate it. My popper's outside base dimensions are 17.75" by 14.75" and an 8 oz package of this corn creates about a 2" depth of popped kernels. If I deduct a quarter inch to better estimate the interior dimensions, the total volume the popped corn occupies is 523.625 cubic inches (17.5" x 14.5" x 2"). There are 16.387064 cubic centimeters in one cubic inch (~8580 cc of popped corn) and 236.588237 cubic centimeters in an 8 ounce cup, so my popper makes around 36 cups of popped corn using this product. Take note that this is just a rough estimate and wholly insufficient for commercial production purposes - not all poppers are the same and not all batches of raw corn produce the same volume of popped corn.

The specs are right. The largest dimension is 11". The corners are rounded off so that the pan is only a little bit larger on the diagonal (I measure about 11 1/2"). It worked fine in my Kenmore 750 watt oven, but my new Emerson 750 oven is just a bit too small. (It's also too small for microwave popcorn and several other things as well, so that's probably not fair to the pan.). If your microwave is big enough that a microwave popcorn bag works just fine without hanging up, then this pan should work as well.

The dimensions are correct. I thought the same thing too, that the dimensions were wrong, then I got it and I was surprised how big it was. It isnt too huge, but still on the big side. I have a tiny kitchen and it doesnt take up too much room. It's a pretty awesome toaster though.

Absolutely. Makes fabulous popcorn and is its own serving container. It is a little large for storage.

yes, it's big. It does lose its for after a while and I bought mine from Amazon and one from a chain retail store. I personally would not buy another one.

This won't hold enough popcorn for 30 guests. If you mean that you want one for each guest, then yes, I'd argue that it's too big for 1 person (as a favor). I'd go with the 1 gallon for that purpose. These aren't HUGE. If you are going to do this as a cute display for 30 guests, I'd get 3 and do one caramel, one cheese and one plain.

its about 15 lbs, I wouldn't buy this machine mine stopped working before I got through a full box of popcorn, spend your money else where

I never actually used the popcorn maker. It wouldn't go together properly so I had to return it. Sorry I can't answer your question.

I had the same problem with this questionable purchase...no instructions of any kind. The way I figured this out was to buy some of what are called "Popcorn Kits". These are all in one packages with the kernels, Coconut Oil, and Flavacol salt all pre-measured in a single package. They are sold to match the typical popcorn machine; that is, for your 8 ounce machine, you would buy an 8 ounce kit. This refers to the finished weight; that is, an 8 ounce machine will make 8 ounces (weight) of finished popcorn. The package contains 8 fluid ounces of kernels, I poured my kernels into a measuring cup and discovered that it contains 8 fluid ounces of kernels. The oil is usually stated in Tablespoons (1 Tsp = 0.5 fl. oz.). The Mega Pop kit that I used, had about 6 Tbsp--about 3 ounces--of Coconut Oil. So, the Mega Pop is 8 ounces of kernels and about 3 ounces of Coconut Oil. The general rule of thumb for popcorn is one ounce of oil for three ounces of kernels. With these machines, you put all the oil in, let it heat, then add all the kernels and the Flavacol. As the kernels pop, they will cascade out of the popper, until all the kernels are done. There are videos all over YouTube on the use of these machines. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW5zs2Tpp5M

This product SUCKS!! It does NOT make popcorn, and even if it does, you can count the kernels. Its a lot smaller than it looks. If it gives dimensions, measure it out and you'll see how small it is. I returned this piece of crap
