Only a 1/2 cup of organic corn allows us to have 2 hefty bowl of hot popcorn 🍿. I add melted butter and salt and the smile and my wife's face starts movie night on the right frame. No pun intended! 😉

Works as described. On off switch is nice. Easy to clean. Kind of a surprise when the corn starts to pop and flies into bowl. Would recommend using less than 1/2 cup of corn until you make sure your bowl is big enough. One strange thing is that by not using oil like in a pan on the stove, the salt does not stick to the corn. Probably need to melt butter for it. But overall, nice machine and good value for price. Would recommend.

I love this popper. It's small enough to leave out on my kitchen counter and very quick to use. No prep necessary. Just measure amt of kernals you want in the lid/cup, dump them in, and turn on the machine. Don't forget to have a large bowl waiting, as the popcorn flies out pretty fast. If doing a maximum amount, you may even want to hold a dish towel behind the bowl to catch the popped kernals that have wings. Like with most poppers, you need to be right there to turn it off when popping is done. Great quality & even pretty.

When our other popcorn maker suddenly stopped working, I stumbled across this one and decided to try it. Very glad I did. It is less of a mess, smaller then our old one, and works beautifully. Popcorn comes out perfect every time.
The only cons * if you try to make less then 1/2 cup of kernels at once, it doesn't work. There is not enough weight and it just blows them around and right out of the heating chamber. It is definitely louder then we expected, no hiding the fact that popcorn is being made when we turn it on.
All in all, we are very happy with it and have recommended this to friends.

3.0 out of 5 stars Makes good popcorn; quite hard to put the cover on
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
Update after two months of use: I'm taking off one star because it's very difficult to put the cover on the popper. It's held on by 3 minuscule tabs that go into tiny slots. If the cover is out of shape in any way, the 3 tabs won't line up with the slots. With time, as the cover heats up and cools down, it can change shape. To counteract this, don't remove the cover until it has cooled. But actually, I had this problem with lining up the tabs from the beginning. Don't force them---they are very thin and could easily break. Very poor design! Dealbreaker? No, because there's nothing better at this price.

UPDATE after one month of frequent use: This popper always leaves a circle of unpopped kernels about 1.5" in diameter in the bottom---the exact size of the grill in the bottom. I think this is because when there are no kernels above it, the remaining ones don't sit on or near the grill long enough to get hot enough to pop. I think this is a flaw but not a deal breaker. Another small design flaw is that the on/off switch is located on the "back" of the popper where you can't see it. If you're right handed, you will turn the popper so that the exit chute faces right and the bowl is on your right. This places the on/off button on the back of the popper.

ORIGINAL 4-STAR REVIEW: I've only used this once and it worked fine. The popcorn came out nice and fluffy, aided by the air vents that allow steam to escape so the popcorn doesn't get soggy. Compared to my last popper, this one is slower to begin popping. The whole process took about 4 minutes, which is reasonable. I put in one-half of the measuring cup, and about 15 kernels failed to pop. That's reasonable too. These results---slow start and percentage of unpopped kernels---are consistent with reports by professional reviewers that rank it about #2 in air poppers. The price ($20) is reasonable for this product. I like that it has an on/off switch instead of having to unplug it to turn it off. The question is, how long will it last? My last popper lasted 30 years until I accidentally poured oil in it. The directions state to not let this popper run for more than 5 minutes, a hint that it could overheat.

Not sure why the ask me to rate flavor???? LOL...it pops the corn and the corn has the flavor...go figure.
Its easy to use, noisy, but that's to be expected I guess.
It is not good for smaller kernel corn and it throw its out of the popper before it has time to heat.

as for the machine itself! it works great! super easy to set up and clean up and makes A LOT of popcorn! so get a huge bowl. The only negative things i can talk about are that the little area on the top where u melt butter, doesnt really work very well and the amount of butter it can melt is just not enough. but i dont put butter,just salt on my popcorn so its no big deal to me.

this makes popcorn, enough said! love the addition of the button melting cup on top. only negative is i find popcorn kernels pop once the pop is getting near the end. otherwise, does the job!
