Properly cooked, tasty popcorn is loved by both adults and children.

In the article, we will consider recommendations on how to choose popcorn machines by price and operating conditions, which affects the popularity of models, as well as what mistakes can be made when choosing.

Description

The very first popcorn making equipment was outdoors. Since then, the design has undergone many changes, and your favorite treat can be prepared without even leaving the apartment.

A modern apparatus consists of several key elements:

• frame;
• box;
• bowl;
• heating elements.

Types depending on the principle of operation:

• working with oil;
• operating without the use of oil.

The first type is the most common and inexpensive. The second option is safer and more environmentally friendly, allows you to cook the most healthy delicacy, but at the same time it costs a little more than oil.

Criterias of choice

Tips on what to look for when buying:

1. size and performance. Performance is directly related to the size of the device. When purchasing for personal use, it is better to consider mini-popcorn makers, which are installed on the table, have a small capacity. If you plan to place it in a large shopping center or in a cinema, you can look at the floor version, or a tabletop one with a large bowl volume.
2. Appearance and functionality. The functionality of all models is almost the same, the differences are only in the form of pokorn produced (sweet, salty) and in the principle of operation. Some models work with oil, others cook in hot air. The appearance does not affect the work, but it gives elegance and completeness to the interior, this is especially important when buying for personal use.
3. How much is the best option. The home variant can be purchased within 3,000 rubles, it will have a small bowl volume and produce 1 serving within 2-5 minutes, depending on the model.High-performance devices can cost between 10-15 thousand, and production models in the region of 500,000 rubles. Choose which option to buy based on your preferences, capabilities and the required volume of finished products.
4. The best manufacturers of popcorn machines. The main suppliers of this type of equipment are the USA, China and Taiwan. American models are more expensive than Chinese and Taiwanese ones, high-quality raw materials are used for their production, they have an unusual bright design. It is impossible to say unequivocally which company is better to buy equipment. Everything will depend on the conditions of use and the required volume of popcorn production. Consider companies that have proven themselves positively: Haifisch, MSP Store, VIATTO, YAZDAN, Modern world.
5. Where could I buy. Consider companies where you can profitably buy a popcorn machine: Delovaya Rus, terminal-pack, Fartov. They offer the lowest margin and after-sales service for the product. Also, goods of this type can be ordered via the Internet on the marketplace or directly from the manufacturer. On the site you can see the review of the product and reviews of previous buyers.
