- Operating Switches
On premium models there may be three switches, typically: light, stirrer/pot heater and a warmer
- Kettle
Look for good quality stainless steel kettles where you can for easy cleaning and durability
- Doors
Larger machines usually have two doors for easy access to the kettle, cabinet cleaning and popcorn access as well
- Drop Shelf
Should be stainless steel for easy cleaning and will open to allow for popcorn scooping
- Old Maid Drawer
Kernel catcher will slide out and allow for the dumping of unpopped kernels which have fallen through the perforated floor
- Feet (on Bar Style Models)
Should be non-slip for countertop models
- Sides
Should be glass on premium models to keep in heat and for easy cleaning and durability
Though not marked, the model shown, as do most premium models, has a heated warming deck to help keep popcorn fresh and warm.
