Customers are saying

Customers find value in the retro look and easy-to-use features of the 12-Cup Retro Series Hot Air Popcorn Popper. Many customers mentioned that it makes a great gift and is perfect for movie nights. However, some customers found that it was loud, messy, and had a low popping efficiency, resulting in chewy popcorn.

    No oil. Popcorn tastes dry. But for what it's used for it does good in small batches.

    Works as expected. Not amazing, but satisfying enough. Was able to have some fun times with this and my family.

    Got this for my brother and sister in law and she freaked when she saw it! Looks great on their counter top and she says they use it all the time.

    This product leaves a lot to be desired. When popping the corn most of what you get in the bowl are seeds. So half of the kernels are wasted. There doesn't seem to be a catch for the seeds that get thrown out because its neighbor popped. Save your money

    This machine makes great popcorn with little clean up. Warming up before adding popcorn helps. Top part lifts out for easy cleaning when cool. Makes small batches at a time so no leftovers.

    The popcorn is a little dry so you need to have some melted butter ready.

    The popcorn maker is easy to use and easy to clean. The only problem is that it requires space to store the machine.

    It works pretty well but get very hot on the sides. In the beginning it also throws a lot of unpopped kernels out. I normally throw these in if I can and then it will pop. The suggested amount doesn't pop as much as a bag of microwave popcorn so you will have to add more kernels. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

    We love the great taste of the popcorn. But, the machine is be ry quick and forces a waste with kernels. I find myself picking up at least 20 off the floor. If kids use this please keep in mind it does get very hot.
