Ease of use
Make preparing this snack so easy that it will become routine during family movie night. Measure the perfect amount for a full batch by using the included measuring cup. This cup does double duty as it also holds butter. Add your desired amount of softened butter, place the cup in the holder on the popper chute and butter will be melted and ready for your popcorn. As the popcorn pops, hot air melts the butter and you can pour it on the freshly popped kernels.
Healthy snack in minutes

This machine is well-made and works very well. The manual is clear, concise, and accurate. Three machine parts, total. Operation is simple enough for a child, but do NOT let a child use it without supervision--the parts get hot enough for some serious burns to occur. And yes, it is amusing to watch the kernels pop.
But there are a couple of little details a buyer may want to consider...
My first batch was 'by the book'--filled the included measure cup with conventional major-brand popcorn and in a couple of minutes, viola! A LARGE bowl of perfectly-popped corn. Skipped butter & salt re dietary restrictions, and yep, it was great.
However, the next day I wanted a *small* amount. I also wanted to try a different variety of corn that I'd had for a while. The kernels are tiny compared to the regular corn.
Didn't think this through in advance. The popping process uses a decently-powerful, vertically-oriented fan (think 'heat gun') constantly churning the kernels upward while they absorb the heat necessary to pop. With a smaller kernel size and fewer total kernels, I wound up with a lot of tiny, really hot kernels flying out the chute. My large bowl caught most of them; the rest became organic ball bearings on the floor until I broke out the vacuum. And the yield was (optimistically) perhaps 20%.
Obviously, the weight of a 'full load' of kernels (of regular size) is necessary for satisfactory operation. Which means when you use this machine, you're going to get (from the owners manual) 'up to 18 cups (4.3L) of popped corn.' In other words--*no small batches.*
So you'll always have *plenty* to share with your friends... or the birds. :-)
I wanted to try air popped popcorn because two tablespoons of oil is a TON of useless calories and I am trying to get off oil. I bought this popcorn maker after researching a few different brands. I just used it for the first time and it is AMAZING!
First, the popcorn is the same fluffy texture that my oil popcorn has BUT all of the popcorn is fully popped. There were none of those half popped kernals. Plus, there were hardly any kernals left afterwards. I WISH I had bought this years ago.
Like some people say, it does shoot out a few kernals at the beginning (like maybe 5-7). Knowing this because of other reviews, I had my bowl there ready to catch them and I just tossed them back into the shoot real quick. It was no big deal so I don’t know why that is a sticking point for so many people. I will NEVER go back to using oil again. This thing is fantastic!!
