Obtaining a new popcorn machine can be both challenging and overwhelming. You are supposed to make a choice between the so many available machines in the market. It can, therefore, be very hard and hence very important to have a set criterion against which you can gauge the effectiveness of your machine. In this article, we will be hinting at some of the things that you need to consider when going out to shop for your favourite popcorn machine. It is time to make the right choice!
Look at the wattage
If you are looking for a machine that will spend very little time while cooking, then you should consider obtaining a machine with a very high wattage. For example, for anyone planning to obtain a home theatre machine, then he/she should expect less cooking or pooping time. We advise that you obtain a machine working at around 640 watts. However, if you are dealing with small batches of popcorn, then you can purchase a machine of low wattage.
Size of kettle
Before going out to purchase a popcorn machine, it is very important that you know the amount of popcorn that you will be preparing. Depending on the amount of popcorns to be made, you can then choose a popcorn machine with a kettle big enough to hold that volume of popcorns. Apart from the size of the kettle, you can consider the following:
l Manuals
l Availability of the machine- How easily can you find it?
l Availability and instructions in the user manual.
Quality of the machine
Before buying the machine, it is very important that you consider its quality by looking into the material used in making it. If you are that person who makes popcorns regularly, then we would advise that you consider obtaining a machine made of metal as opposed to plastic. Don’t only rely on the images posted online to purchase a machine, instead, ask to see the machine and if possible, request for a demo before paying up for the machine. Remember, the durability of your machine will solely depend on the type of materials used.
Price
Now coming to the mother of it all, the cost! Before going out to look for a popcorn machine, it is very important that you have a clear budget that you can easily afford. Remember that, obtaining something new should never put you into a financial crisis. You can start with something cheap and then upgrade later. Popcorn machines of different sizes and prices are available and so you should be able to get the one that best suits your needs and situation.
Manufacture’s warranty
Before obtaining a popcorn machine, you should be familiar with the type and terms of the warranty that they offer. Don’t let the length of the warranty alone convince you, rather, look into the firm’s reputation and how they deal with customers. The best company is the one with good customer service care and not necessarily long warranty periods.
Finally, we want to wish you all the best as you go out there to purchase your new popcorn machine. We hope that you will like your new product and that this article will come in handy to help you when making this very important decision.
