I bought this machine a many weeks ago. I also purchased the 4 oz. Great Norther pre-measured popcorn packs to start. We started with those, and the popcorn came out very chewy almost not edible, of course following their recommended directions. We thought that it was old popcorn after a couple batches of bad popcorn. I bought another brand of pre-measured popcorn packs with the same results. Then I made a couple different “homemade” mixes with recipes I found on-line. Every batch coming out of this machine is chewy. We’ve come to the conclusion that the venting in this machine is the cause. It holds steam because of the additional wattage and quick pop this machine has. The steam does not have an opportunity to escape before the entire cavity is full of steam, causing chewy popcorn. I tried to leave the doors open but popcorn and up-popped seeds go all over the room. The look and accessories are great, but if it can’t make good popcorn, what’s the point. Super disappointed in this purchase.

I have owned the particular model of Great Northern for approximately 3 years . If you follow the instructions furnished with the machine, you will both enjoy the machine as well as the popcorn it pops . Two keys to the process , one heat the holding bin for at least 45 minutes prior to actually popping the pop corn Two , heat the oil until it smokes , this is stated plainly in the instructions furnished with the machine. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy . P.S . I have also made kettle corn using this machine, a huge hit this past Christmas !
