Pros: movie popcorn at home
easy to clean
Cons: Poor assembly instructions

The CCP-510 makes great movie popcorn!  The problem was getting the stand assembled.  I started with looking at the instructions provided and what a joke that was.  On the first page it lists the various nuts bolts and washers by part ...

Pros: Makes allot of fresh popcorn.  Looks good, and smells great.  Keeps popcorn warm.  Cheap price.
Cons: Wish it kept popcorn a bit warmer.  Assembly requires good guess work.

Well this is the cheapest price i could find for a standing popcorn maker.  It's a decent height, yet not too large to overtake a space.  The assembly instructions are pretty much useless.  And the picture on the box is of a different model i guess.  Becasue the very bottom of it, looks nothing like it.  It comes with less nuts and washer then described in instruction.  But if u take extra time, as i did, u probably can figure it out.  It does assemble correctly with these less parts.  If you do manage to assemble it, it does make some good popcorn.  Just get urself some cheap kernels and some cheap veg. oil, it all tastes the same.  Good fresh popcorn.  4oz is quite allot.  And this thing can hold several 4oz servings for large parties.  The inside is a decent size and is easy enogh to scoop out popcorn.  There is however no raising bottom to push the popcorn toward the back, like in more expensive models.  Not a big deal, virtually a useless feature anyway.  So in conclusion, good value.

Pros: Nice Small foot print. Solid frame. Good material.
Cons: Made in China. Missing instruct and parts. Some design flaws.

Where Do I start. How about no assemble instructions. After studying the picture on the box I got it together. Albeit with an extra cross member and missing the two leveler bolts. I put it in place, loaded it up, turned it on. The popcorn started to pop. A kernel popped the lid open and unpopped kernels started to fly all over the inside of the machine. See the flapper lids are too light. I am experimenting with adding some weight to them to stop this.
