    This popcorn maker makes popcorn like I remembered having as a kid. Popcorn yeild is very good, the butter is melted, and it doesn't make a mess.

    I love the color & design. Poor performance, when popping corn. It burnt the popcorn, missed the bowl. I returned to Best Buy.

    This is a great looking popcorn popper that provides tons of nostalgia, but the popcorn seems to be missing the flavor of when I was growing up. Maybe I just need Mom to make some!

    turns out the old design is faulty

    The plastic deflector on top falls off easily and the shape does not lend itself to setting a bowl underneath to neatly catch the corn as it is popped. Must try to deflect corn flying out the sides into a bowl that you are tying to hold up close to the mouth of the deflector, without knocking it off. My first hot-air popper for many years, but think I will replace it with something that works better.

    Only half the kernels popped and they went every where. I tried several different times and different amounts of popcorn but certainly not worth the money.

    Not very good. Unit was $15 but blows unpopped kernels into bowl and beyond even after warming up. Thepoper skin where the top fits into the notch has melted and the top getters on top of the Unit. I have had it for about 4 weeks, will be looking to return it

    Easy to use and easy clean up. Healthier due to the fact that it uses air instead of oil.

    Buyers beware! Maybe it was the one that I purchased but this popcorn popper although inexpensive, is not worth the money. It does not pop all of the kernels, only half if you are lucky. If you reduce the amount of kernels... still the same problem. It is a pain to deal with.

    Don't buy. Design flaw makes it near useless.

    The very small hopper results in 3/4 of kernels remaining unpopped - most of which fly not just into the bowl with the few popped ones - but all around the room. Even cutting way back on kernels put into the machine is unsatisfactory. The product has such serious design flaws that I can't imagine it was tested at all. Someone just doodled a pretty picture and ran with it. It's near useless.
