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.

    I love the popper, no mess no fuss. I love the ease with how you pop. I do wish the opening was done a little better so you would not have to catch the kernels and that you would not loose to many kernels.

    Flimsy popcorn makers that needs to be made sturdier. Got the job done, but should have a wider area where the popcorn falls out, so the popcorn will not fall outside whatever bowl you decide to use to catch it.

    Great job gets about half a large bucket of popcorn out. Enough for two people to have with leftovers. Great healthy way to have popcorn at home and you can dress it up with whatever you want since i comes out grease free. I just wish that there weren't so many kernels shooting out at the beginning, i hope this isn't something that gets worse as the time goes on.

    Works well! Dispenses as said and it is a favorite for joining the family together and having a good old popcorn social. Very good for frat gatherings, sorority meetings. Great leveling appliance for fun times!

    I got this as a gift and actually returned it. I had been so excited but when I plugged it in and tried to make popcorn it burned my popcorn. Instead of shooting the kernels out into my bowl they continued to get stuck until they burned. I'd suggest a different popcorn maker next time.

    The bad reviews surprise me. Maybe this model works for some not others. However, mine works fine. In the beginning of popping some kernels shoot out from the popping motion. I put them back in if I'm around. I use the cheap popcorn and have no trouble.

    There are a few things I wish were different about this popper. It has to be on about 5 to 10 minutes to warm up before you can put the popcorn in. It doesn't blow the popcorn up and out so you have to turn it upside down to get it all out. The opening is so wide that even with my biggest bowl popcorn still goes everywhere. It has a weird smell.

    I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend, who had been wanting it for quite some time. It makes great popcorn minus the calories added by oils. We love it, plus it looks great sitting out in out ultra-modern kitchen.

    I bought it for my kids to use in movie nights but in the first time that we used it didn't make well the pop corns burning them, we gave a second chance and did the same, we have to return it to best buy.
