Is this popper NSF rated for commercial use? If so, would you please tell me the SD/N and rating info on the steel tag? Thank You

I thought it was, but when I got it there were no papers or ANYTHING in it. Not to mention the motor burned out on it about 3 or 4 months after I bought it. Don't waste your money!

Not sure but the label did say "commercial grade" I think it may be NSF. They are great pans. Hope this helps!

This is my second unit in 11 years-bought for home use. No indication of NSF on box

We have used a number of different brands of popcorn and different types of oil. We never had an issue with the popper with any of them.

I would recommend going to West Bend's website, I think maybe you can order parts from there, but it may be more cost effective to just by a new popper.

I am about to purchase this Cook N Home because of the clad bottom [more even heat distribution] and brass gears [which should work better than the stainless steel gears found on Whirley Pop and Great Northern models]. Note that the basic Whirley Pop is aluminum, and they offer a stainless option. The Great Northern is stainless. The design is similar across the brands, although I wouldn't use aluminum any more. I've had an aluminum Whirly Pop for a dozen years, and I've made plenty of popcorn with it...it's just time to upgrade.

Construction quality. This is a substantial popper when compared to others. They are similar in appearance only.

Honestly, we've only tried Shop Rite brand popcorn in ours....It works just fine with our popper and is relatively inexpensive...We bought another one for a family member as a Christmas gift and the love theirs as well using Orville Redenbacher popping corn. The key is to not overload the unit...we use about 1/4 cup at a time and you have to adjust the cooking time for your microwave...enjoy if you decide to purchase one.

I never looked at the packaging but all cooking equipment should be approved for use as a food prep item. I do not believe the code requires each item to be identified as NSF approved. Someplace in manufacturers catalog there should be a reference. Stainless material genetically has been approved for use in food preparation stuff. Best I can do for you. You must be in the silly land called California.

We don't use it at all. I actually broke down and bought a new popcorn popper yesterday. The popcorn flies everywhere or gets jammed up and burns. You have to elevate the whole thing because there isn't room to put a bowl under it to catch the popcorn that doesn't fly out or burn. I can't decide if I should donate it so some other poor soul has to deal with it or just throw it in the trash. Its cute but isn't functional.

Bob,We ended up having to replace our popper a couple months ago. I think I got water in it one to many times wiping it down with a fairly soaked sponge. I must say we used this several times a week on average. It is still a good product. I just need to be more careful about washing it. Hope this helps.

I read some reviews on your popcorn popper.... one person said they use coconut oil and it made the lid hard to clean and eventually warped it, so I would not put this in your popcorn popper. also, it makes a lot of popcorn and would probably be too much for you popper. this popcorn is great.... you could try a pot on the stove, but still it is a lot of popcorn. Maybe try to find a 2 oz packet premixed. I always recommend when using this to pour out some salt so it wont come out too salty. Great thing is the coconut oil is healthy! for your popper I read that someone uses very little olive oil and then adds salt and black pepper.... that sounded good. Good luck!

Sorry but I don't really have the answer to your question, you would need to check with the company maker of the product. I can only say that this West Bend Stir Crazy popcorn popper has been working very well and living up to its product description. Hope my answer is helpful too you.

Ultra grinder is not NSF certified. Contact inno concepts. They may have a grinder with documentation that might help you to present to your food inspector.

Sorry I can't honestly tell you where but an educated guess says further east than US. But its done the job for me and never used for jobs l bought a beefier unit for, researched it and got the best available and paid for the quality. Old dawg here, have seen it all. Majority of issues with low end (cheaper) is abuse- doing big boy jobs w/4 foot breakers. That and/or a lousy mounting on the wrong surface, can't blame mfr when things break loose, including the undersized vise, only not as they hoped they could get away with. I have to fair. I always look for a deal/best price but some things i will not compromise on: quality of my tools or accepting what a mfr claims their product is capable of without documentation and then try to exceed those limits. What was question?

I usually wipe it down with a damp paper towel after each use and clean it more thoroughly about every 5 uses. I really have enjoyed the popper and it has been quick and easy to maintain.
