CR tried six electric and microwave popcorn machines to find out which ones produced the lightest, crispiest, and toastiest popcorn for binging our latest new series.

And while our Test Kitchen found the best popcorn makers for the average household, there’s something altogether different (and extra) about a movie theater-style popcorn machine.

Vidler estimates “very conservatively” that the machine dispensed over 850,000 bags of popcorn in its 55 years of operation. The new machine still only charges one dime per bag of popcorn.

Find the best popcorn machines for fresh, delicious popcorn at home, perfect for movie nights and parties.
