Fun to use and look at. :)
This was my impulse item when doing some shopping at Christmas. I had low expectations, as it was inexpensive, however has worked extremely well. The color matches my kitchen well, although I had not really thought where I was going to put it when not in use (ooops). Still looks great, and works very well, if you have the room for it, you should definetly get it. :)

Great Price, will save you money and calories!!!
Well there is a BIG difference in air popped popcorn and popcorn popped in oil!!! I think it is a temperature thing!!! It is good enough to eat everyday but if you really, really, reeeeeeeeally enjoy amazingly great popcorn I do not recommend getting a air popper of any type!!! I would recommend this product if you want to save a lot in cash and calories making popcorn!!! It will still save me about 4 dollars a week, and bonus is it has a lot less calories; depending what brand of kernels you get!!! But, it simply does not have the full all around snap you associate with great popcorn!!! It snaps at first bite but folds quickly in mouth, which I think most to all air popped popcorn does!!! In a pinch it is easier to make, cheaper, and is doable in taste!!! Just be forewarned if you never had air popped popcorn it is different!!! It definitely would taste 100 times better if I could put butter and some sea salt on it that is for sure but my diet won't allow it!!! All in all I am satisfied!!! There was no taste difference in the two brands of kernels I tried, only difference was the amount and size of popcorn in bowl, oh and un-popped kernels... Orville pops less kernels but is better in calories and Pop Secret popped more kernels and there was more in bowl but has more calories!!! It does spit out some kernels at start but is to be expected with popping without a cover over popping chamber of machine (where the popcorn pops out of!!!) If you have a circular bowl some of the popcorn and some of the kernels may fall to the outside of bowl but was so little in my case I just picked the popcorn up and put it back in bowl!!! A quick wipe around where bowl is placed for any other kernels and debris that falls out and you are good!!! Comes pretty much already assembled and has the easiest instruction I have ever read for an appliance!!! I do look forward to watching it pop out of machine every week (I make popcorn the start of every week for everyday of the week!!!) Just remember to let it cool for 15 minutes before making each batch!!! It does looks so cool coming out of machine, I feel like a kid again watching it!!! You may have to tip machine to get all popcorn out but instructions say you might have too!!! There will also be some popcorn in the popping chamber when done but just after it cools for fifteen minutes just take cover off and turn base over empty bowl!!! Easy cleaning, wipe with damp cloth and then dry off with dry cloth!!! Some Nutritional facts: Store bought "Simple Truth Low-Sodium" pre-popped popcorn in a bag 3-cups 110 calories 5g fat; "Pop Secret Jumbo 100% Natural" air popped popcorn 3-cups 72 calories .8g fat; Orville Original Yellow Popcorn air popped popcorn 3-cups 48 calories and .6g fat (yes that is a point before the 8 and the 6!!!) So, is a big difference depending what popcorn you get!!!

Great popcorn machine
Makes every kernel you put in, very quick popping and easy to clean. Very easy to use even my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter can do it on her own, she loves it!!!

A fun popper for a theater room.
It's a fun and stylish retro popcorn popper. The air popper is nice for a theater room so you don't need oil (less mess) and easy clean up. It is a bit loud (sounds like a hair dryer) so you'll want to make sure the popcorn is made before the movie begins.
