This air popper isn't perfect, but it's certainly better than most. I've found the removable bowl-shaped reservoir sufficient, yet slightly too small to catch everything. You will be picking up popped corn and unpopped kernels from your countertop and floor. If you try to pop an entire cup, you will likely have a mess on your hands. Pop in small batches for the best results. This also seems to cut down on unpopped kernels.

I really like the popcorn maker. It pops most of the kernal. It is really load, but all poppers are. Some kernals still fly all over. But less than many others.

It pops corn really good. I am not as happy with it as I thought I would be. The popped kernals did not all land in the bowl and were flying up and all over the counter, even some unpopped kernals flew out. Be careful of the unpopped kernals they are extremely hot and one landed on my hand and it burnt it a little. I would not recommend letting kids use this unsupervised. Also because it is an air popper the popcorn is very dry and bland tasting, adding the salt of flavoring after does not get it well dispursed.

Very easy to use, no waste, all the kernals pop. Exciting for the children to watch. No mess and a good snack without all the oil.

it works, pops the popcorn, thought the design would be more effective at preventing popcorn being all over the counter... but it doesn't. Kind of disappointed, but maybe I expected too much of it. It pops the popcorn, its a creative design, nice big bucket, but takes up a bigger footprint and you still have to clean up stray popcorn kernels. To each their own. Didn't bother me as much as it bothers my wife.

Nice job popping the corn. The fan is rather noisy. Does spit out a little bit of popcorn. Plenty of popcorn for our movie nights.

Bought this popper a while back, finally got around to using it, Could not be easier. Wish it had a spout instead of dumping into the receiving bowl.

Finally used this popcorn machine. It popped most of the kernels. The popcorn comes out very dry but it does what its supposed to do. Only about 5 kernels flew out from the machine. Pops very quick and easy clean up.

I love using it, I especially love the bowl that circles around the maker. It catches almost all of the popped popcorn but some will always fall to the ground. Tastes great, easy to use.

You like air pop popcorn this is your device...but it does send cornels across the room if a unpoped cornel is discharged into the receiving bowel, than pops!
This was a gift to my wife she loved it!

I liked this popcorn maker. I thought it was a little dry though. When we put buttery seasoning it just fell to the bottom. I thought it was filling. This seemed like a snack to take on a hike because it was filling. I thought it would taste good with some dried fruit. I liked how it was like a volcano though.

Two aspects prevent better review: a lot of kernels do not pop, and thought machine could automatically disperse add-ons like butter and sugar. but it doesn't do that.

I have wanted to get something functional and easy to use, but at the same time it had to be a pretty good quality. It pops almost all kernels and keeps it all in the bowl. The only negative is if you like butter and salt, it is very challenging to have it spread equally in the bowl.

I was leery about buying this and just used it for the first time the other day, and loved it. I used it with my grandchildren and they enjoyed watching the popcorn pop. It was relatively quick to pop the popcorn and I love that you can have your popcorn without using oil!

This popcorn maker will pop a full bowl of popcorn in less than 5 min start to finish. It is nice to be able to pick up the bowl and immediately sit down in front of the TV and not need an additional bowl. The only downside is that it will only make a single bowl of pipcorn before overheating and requiring a ten min cooldown. So for a small gathering of friends watching a movie its perfect.

Un-popped Corn kernels go everywhere. I have to cover it with a large towel to keep it confined. Other than that, it’s not a bad popper for small batches.
