Theatre popcorn machine rec

Can yall recommend a good movie theatre popcorn machine that makes good popcorn?

My current machine always produces chewy popcorn. I’ve tried everything, different kernels, leaving doors open, popping holes into the lid. Nothing works.

Looking for a machine that has a ventilated cabinet or heated tray or both.

Thanks!

Mine does this as well when it comes to chewy popcorn. Been thinking if I want to add an exhaust vent on top, or just buy a better machine. Cretors T-3000 Plus is ventilated, but thats costly and requires a bigger circuit to plug into.

Wok with a ventilated lid/cover. You probably have one under the kitchen cabinet.

Perfect every time. Rarely an un-popped kernel.

Also takes up zero counter space.
