I am looking for a large, nice, reliable and easy to clean popcorn
machine for a mini residential movie theater.  Stylish but big enough
to produce for a large gathering.

I am looking for one or two suggestions.

The Budweiser Popcorn Popper looks good and is easy to clean.

The Budweiser Kernel 8 ounce popper is great for home-theaters, game
rooms, bars and restaurants. This durable, eight ounce popper produces
theater quality popcorn in about three minutes. The cabinet is red and
black and features the Budweiser logo along with the King of Beer's
frosted crowns each glass side panel. The Budweiser Kernel is easy to
clean and operate.

Her answers helped me to select a propper machine.  :-)

Howdy, Mao!

A friend of mine bought a popcorn machine from HTmarket. The unit that
my friend purchased is the "Street Vendor 4 oz Popcorn Machine." It's
a handsome unit, and it's currently offered on sale:

That's the only personal recommendation I can offer, since I only know
one person who has bought this kind of popcorn popper. My friend is
totally delighted with the machine.
