I want to sell pre-popped pre packaged popcorn in the machine. Are there prices already on the machine or can you change them yourslef? Will it only hold certain size items? What are the measurements? Does it take money? Does it give change?

This machine comes factory set for 50 cents. You can upgrade it to take $1.25 however it is exact change only. It is also set up to vend candy bars, not just chip bags.

Yes. My only complaint is its small capacity. If you've got the extra money, get a BIG one. This one only pops about enough popcorn for three or four of the little bags and if you're popping for a roomful of little kids... don't even think about using this to supply adults with popcorn.

I use it for popcorn all the time and it works great. I use the 100 calorie size so the preset popcorn time is too long but the bag rotates perfectly.

The bag I got works really well in a hot air popper. I usually pop a half cup at a time and usually only have 5-10 unpopped kernals.

I would return the popper and not get another. We waited too long to return and have donated it to Goodwill. Popcorn flies all over the place. It's a terrible machine in our humble opinio

Not really sure if at least 20 at a time could be done, best question I would direct towards the maker of the machine. I love the popcorn maker machine. Buy the bags of popcorn from amazon. Also, if you purchase it, maybe zip lock sandwich bags to start distributing to the 20 students at a time. It pops it pretty quick. Happy Poppin.

It's the same principle that's behind coupons. If a company can entice you to try their product they've got a chance on much "repeat business". It's worth it to them to subsidize the price. If you didn't already like popcorn you wouldn't be buying this popper. They're hoping you'll like their popcorn.

I never use premeasured packs, but any amount you put in will work. Just watch it and when popping slows to 5 - 20 seconds between pops make sure to dump canister to avoid burning. I prefer to use organic coconut oil and organic popcorn kernels. Let the coconut oil preheat until vaporizing/white smoke rising, then add 1 cup kernels. Preheating oil works best. I use varying amounts of oil - usually about 1 tablespoon - coconut oil is hard at room temperature. Also - keep doors open when popping - an occasional kernel may fly out and is hot, but this allows the steam moisture to escape, which makes the popcorn fluffier. Closing the doors traps the steam, and the popcorn is chewy, not very good.

we use this machine with yellow coconut oil and a flavouring you can also buy at Amazon. But I have also made popcorn with just canola oil and it pops just fine, added butter and salt to taste. the pre-packaged popcorn we have never used. we use this machine regularly for fund raisers and buy the popcorn in bulk, flavouring from amazon and the coconut oil from amazon. Hope this helps you out.

I have no idea! We purchased it as a gift, to use as described-to pop, popcorn!

Well, of course, it depends on what you mean by "serving". For me, a serving is my 3 gallon stainless steel bowl, which requires 8 oz. by weight, of kernels. That holds me for a couple days. Extrapolating that out, I figure that this 12.5 Lb. bag should be good for about 75 gallons of popcorn. If you serve up quart-sized bags, that should give you about 300 generous servings. And, by the way, this Paragon popcorn is First Rate.

Are you referring to a cart that the popcorn machine can fit in? This machine fits perfectly on the counter top. I suppose if its a flat surface it would fit but the machine is not commercial size its is for residential usage. There is a small clear plastic container that comes with the popcorn machine. It is worth the money for home usage. I'm happy.

No, in fact I put a plastic directly below where the popcorn comes out after popping and it was no problem. There was only 3-4 kernels that did not pop it does what it's supposed to do no problems .

This takes oil, use coconut oil it will make your popcorn taste better and won't go bad for a VERY long time. Also I wouldn't recommend this product it is built completely wrong. The piece that you put over the top (bottom) when done will expand and fall off. Also you have to lift the COMPLETE UNIT up to turn it over. DON'T BUY

Not sure what you are asking. It makes 8-10 cups of popcorn. If you are making for two you need to make two batches.

The previous responses are correct. I found this offering to not be a good deal. The popcorn is the best, but this is expensive. I have found the large bags at Wal-Mart. They were $3 for a 9.7 oz bag. They have a bunch of em now because of the Super Bowl coming up, but other times they are sometimes hard to find.

I store mine in freezer. I read in a book about popcorn once that the freezer is the best place (it keeps the kernels from drying out - the more humid the kernels, the better the pop - at least that is the theory). For that same reason, the fridge would not be a good place as it would dry out the kernels. The freezer works great. Popping time does not seem to be longer than room temperature and we get very very few old maids or ones that are not well popped.
