nice little popcorn maker. easy to use. just plug it in and go

This popcorn popper is everything I wanted it to be and then some. It makes great popcorn and if your butter is softened like they tell you to do, then your butter is ready to pour on it as soon as it stops popping. It also pops almost all of the kernels. The amount of salt and butter is up to you, but I find that salt is not my friend and minimal butter is best.

Upfront Information: Hot air popped popped corn does NOT taste like hot oil popped popped corn! Very dry: needs butter, which negates the healthy part of using a hot Air Corn Popper Does its job well, but a lot of unpopped kernels get blown out of the chute onto the floor: WARNING - do not pick up kernel until they cool off!! I have subsequently purchased a popper for the micorwave oven: 1. Results is the same: dry, needs butter 2. No unpopped kernals being blow out onto the floor 3. No need for serving bowl 4. Collapable bowl makes storage MUCH easier that a hot air popper. Recommendation: 1. For best tasting popped corn, get a hot oil corn popper, or a microwave bag 2. For healthier, but less tasteful, popped corn, get a microwave popped corn maker 3. If no micorwave, buy a large bag of popped corn (Stew Leonard's or Uncle Guisseppe's, if one is near you: If not, at the supermarket) 4. Only if you don't want to use a hot oil corn popper, or you do not have a microwave oven, should you use a hot air popper.

Just tried it for the first time. So far, so good.

I had another hot air popper and it was messy also inefficient. This one is nowhere near as messy and way more efficient. Will definitely order again.
