Great Investment!!

I bought mine this morning at Target and we LOVE it! It's fast and convenient! Simple to use too! My son loves watching it as it starts to pop. No kernels left either.

just as described

This is a great popper. It takes ordinary store brand popcorn and makes it taste like the premium brands. That's because it gets very hot very fast. One warning, the outside of the pot is not very well insulated so it's possible to get burned by touching or bumping into it the wrong way.
I would recommend keeping and using it out of the reach of small children. At least show them where the hot spots are. Then if they decide to make popcorn when you are out of the house and make a ladder out of chairs and boxes to reach your "safe" storage spot, they will know how to use the popper safely. Having read the other reviews, I knew to adjust the stirring wire for optimum performance and had no problem on that score. The idea is that the wire should pass below the popcorn, not over it. (When it passes over the kernels, they pile up and jam, scraping the teflon lining away.) This machine works fast, about sixty percent of the time it takes a microwave, and very few unpopped kernels. I glad that I bought it. One of the reasons that I bought it is that I live in a high-rise and many of my friends cannot tolerate salt or butter. With this popper, I can make salt and butter free popcorn and my friends can flavor their bowls to taste. this is a big plus over microwave popcorn which is drenched in cholesterol and sodium.

I purchased this popcorn popper because it reminded me of the kind my mom had in the 70's. If you're looking for movie-style popcorn, then there's no better machine. My 5-year-old son loves watching the popcorn pop through the see-through lid, which doubles as a bowl. The top of the bowl has a butter melting chamber that allows butter to drip down during the popping process. Additionally, this machine has an rotating aggitator that allows almost all of the kernels to pop without burning. My complaints are minor: I wish the bowl were glass instead of plastic. I think that over time the bowl will lose it's transperancy due to scratching. (Make sure you use something soft to clean it). The aggitator didn't work perfectly-it was higher on one side than the other, causing the kernels to pass under on one side. This can be easily fixed by simply bending one side down. A good machine overall and worth the price for the delicious popcorn it produces.

This is the One

I am a popcorn lover, from a family of popcorn lovers, and trust me this is the One to buy. It is so convenient. Just plug it, it stirs itself, melts the butter, applies the butter automatically; and then you just flip it over and use the top as the bowl -- no need to dirty the popcorn maker and then a separate bowl, this has both built as one! That is not the reason to buy it though; hands down the top reason you should buy this is the way the popcorn tastes. It is close to the fluffiness of an air pop, but has a little bit of the crunchiness of a stove-top model. mmmhhh yum. I debated over getting this for a while, but once I did the only regret I had was not getting it sooner!

Great corn popper!

This is the second one of these I have owned. My first one lasted 5 years and as of lately, it didn't seem to get hot enough to pop all the popcorn so I replaced it with the same item. We love it!

You've rented a classic family movie, something along the lines of "Beauty and the Beast" or "Mary Poppins", and the whole gang is snuggled on the couch. What would make this picture truly complete? Popcorn of course! You can have 6 quarts of crunchy, buttery kernels ready to go in no time with this popper.
