You’ve got the big screen telly, you’ve forked out on those surround sound speakers, you’ve downloaded the latest blockbuster and it’s home cinema time.

Pat on the back for sure, but there’s something rather important missing. No trip to the movies is complete without the crunch of popcorn, the last half of the film spent trying to dislodge kernels from your teeth with a satisfied grin.

Then there’s the cherry on top, the ice-cream you pick up on the way out while thinking about the perfect moment to make your move. We’re assuming you’re on a date of course, if not it’s just about knocking back some ice-cream really.

What if you could enjoy both from the comfort of the couch at a fraction of the cost, that would be pretty sweet yes? Check out these beauts then, a Bella Hot Air Popcorn Maker or Ice Cream Maker that would make any home cinema proud.
