Doesn't work. Takes for ever for the corn to pop and when it does is burned.

We gave up and had to throw it away. After trying a bunch of times to make popcorn, it didn't pop half the kernels, no matter how much we tried. Very disappointed.

A big metal bowl on the stove works the same.

This product does not cook popcorn well without constant shaking to ensure the kernals pop. You can just buy a big metal bowl, cover with foil (poke holes in top), and you have a cheap replacement for this. The spinner does not replace shaking.

This popcorn maker is easy to use and easy to clean. It makes great-tasting popcorn and it is easy to add the butter on top. The price was just right, also.

OK for single batch

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Works reasonably well for a single batch, but it appears to have a thermal protection of some sort. When I needed to prepare two batches in quick succession, it failed utterly on the second batch; the stirring arm turned, but the heating element cut out almost immediately. Also, the top collects the moisture produced by the popping corn, so some of the popped corn is wet when it's done. (This may be less of a problem when summer rolls around and the house is warmer.)
Overall I would say this is slightly more convenient than a pan on the stove, as long as you aren't trying to prepare popcorn for a crowd. Cleanup is pretty easy if you aren't too picky; it's not possible to completely clean the gap between the heating plate and the plastic base, which accumulates oil and bits of popcorn hull.

Use this more than once a week for the last year. Still going strong! Works great, makes popcorn super fast, and tastes better than the bagged junk.

Popped almost every kernel

Great product. I got this air popper after first buying a much cheaper one that was a dud out of the box. I returned that one and made sure to get one in a different brand. Best Buy only carried 2 brands of air poppers in store so it was an easy choice.
Works as advertised. After popping the lid doubles as a popcorn bowl. With the first use I put in 1 cup of unpopped kernels (the highest it recommends, which after popping is way more than I realized), at the end of popping exactly 9 kernels were unpopped. Easily somewhere in the 99% range popped.

Using our Stir Crazy is easy. It makes great popcorn that is more natural. Watching movies with the always tasty snack is a sure pleaser and it goes together like Best and Buy.

non stick surface comes off into food...

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
It also loses shortly after it starts popping. The rotating arm pushes the popcorn into the nonstick coating and it scratches it off.
I've owned one of these for a year now, and more often than not, it ends up taking 10+ minutes to finish. You have to wait for the heating element to kick back on for it to complete the process. No good...

I am still using the Stir Crazy I bought in 1985 and it is still going strong. What does that say? Microwave popcorn is a misnomer, and just plain wrong! (not to mention tasteless)

This product didn't perform as described.

This product didn't pop most of the kernels, and the ones it did were overcooked. The name is very misleading. I expected it to pop the kernels quickly, but it barely popped any and was very slow in popping them. I was very disappointed in the product.

This popcorn maker was ok a first, but the non-stick finish is starting to come off and we have only had it for about 2 months. We followed the directions exactly.
