The smaller of the two Gold Medal Machines are not built for the endurance that a busy popper requires, but the larger of the two models that were listed can handle that and more.
If you're having problems with them clogging, then you probably have a power bottleneck somewhere. When they say they need 20-30 amps continuous, they're not kidding. I've had problems with them in the past, but resolved it by making sure there was no power-loss anywhere between the Generator and the machines -- each one needs it's own line in the popper -- you shouldn't share breakers between the machines -- 1 machine = 1 breaker in your food stand's power box, and you need to account for that load in your generator or distribution. With 2 deep fryers, 3 floss machines, refridgeration/freezers, lights (and marquee), sno-cones, soda-fountain, etc. at GAS we needed alteast 125amp feed (220v/Single Phase) before the floss machines would keep up on a hot day with no problems. Once the power was straightened, they could run three machines constant for days straight without a problem.
Hope that helps you out --
