After a long search and debate I settled on this 8oz model. I was initially considering a 4 Oz, but after reading various reviews on 4 Oz models, I thought that it would be too tight on the interior of the cabinet for maneuvering and cleaning and it only had two switches which meant that you can't turn off just the heat. I saw this same unit in a 6 Oz version with 3 switches on the manufacturer website and thought, let's get that one, but one last search on Amazon I found this 8 Oz unit that includes the cabinet for $20 more and free Prime shipping The unit goes together fairly easily using the included wretches but you'll still need a Phillips head screwdriver. Instructions are in the box with the pot. It was packaged very well. No broken parts or major scratches. The bulb and glass survived. Be sure you align the screw holes when putting on the sides. Only one side, righthand side will align the holes for the shelf. Make sure you assemble the handle first before putting the sides and back panels together. Otherwise you'll end up taking it apart again in order to mount the unit to the cart. The cart is fragile but functional. Yoy can transport the unit mounted to the cart but need to go slowly. It's top heavy and the cart is not very sturdy. If you move slowly and deliberate it'll work fine. The cart is for looks and is not designed for commercial use of frequently being moved. But it is functional. Mounting of the doors could've been better as there is a gap between the and the unit, wide enough for popcorn to shoot out, but after 4 uses, it only happened once. ⚠️ Caution ⚠️ The edges of the cart handle/shelf are incredibly sharp due to the thin gaged sheet metal used to construct it. I purchased rubber U channel to go along the edges. I'm surprised they have not been sued. I glad I chose the 8 Oz. It's not too big for the countertop or being mounted to the cart near my TV. The bigger pot makes it easier to clean and I can cook anywhere between 4 to 8 ounces at once. Having the ability to turn off the heat while the turner is still rotating allows you to cut off the heat early when popping multiple pops in a row. This allows the turner to keep turn the kernels while the remaining ones pop preventing them from burning 🔥. Overall it is a decent unit for the price. There are better carts, but they cost more. These 8 Oz poppers all function the same and likely came from the same Chinese factory. The difference in the looks (Top portion, cart style and color). I actually wanted the one with the word Popcorn on one side that get lit up by the light, but quickly discovered that will only be useful if It's not up against a wall because the Popcorn window faces the opposite side of all controls and access door. This one looks a little more discreet. I also noticed that some versions have two handles and 1 shelf, where this one has a single handle with integrated shelf. The shelf does come in handy but two handles aren't necessary. If they both had an integrated shelf that would be different. Cooking suggestions, follow the Popcorn brand instructions. However, here's a grateful tip. Add your oil and 3 kernels. As soon as the third kernel pops immediately add your kernels and salt. This will help lower then number of unpopped kernels. I had some kernels that I thought were no good. Too chewy, too many unpopped kernels. I changed my approach and nearly all kernels popped, the popped kernels were bigger and crisper than previously. I use virgin olive and Ghee together to get that buttery taste. But I also use what movie theater use Flavacol popcorn seasoning 1/2 teaspoon is all you need for 6 to 8 Oz of raw kernels. However, I use the Gold Medal Premier Flavacol as it does not have artifical colors yellow #5 and yellow #6 food coloring. It does have artifical butter flavoring which has been found not good to breathe in. I used it when I have guests, otherwise I just use more Ghee and regular popcorn salt (clarified butter than coconut oil). Do not use regular butter in these poppers, it will burn. Overall I'm happy despite the "cut finger" hazard on the handle assembly. YMMV
