Comedic value
Won this as a door prize and I LOVE popcorn so was thrilled. Didn't know what to expect when I made the first batch so was unprepared for - but amused - at the flying kernals, popped and unpopped! They projected several feet in all directions although some did manage to land in the large bowl I placed under the chute. I feel like I am in an I Love Lucy episode every time I use it. I now hold the bowl at a 45 degree angle to try and catch more of the kernals - and there are always a lot of unpopped kernals which I put back in the jar and use again. There have been no burnt kernals and the ones that pop are nice and fluffy. It does have an on/off switch which some of the poppers in this category don't have and one reviewer for a different brand suggested tipping the popper backwards 30 degrees for the first 30 seconds to eliminate unpopped kernals - I'm going to try that.
disappointed
the firsts popcorn go well for the strength of the remaining cooked inside, but for lack of air force which are within burn, to solve it I turn off the machine and turn it manually with the risk of a burn. I'm sorry, I'll find another brand that has more air force and can expel the popcorn ready.
Great... if you love extremely dry, chewy, barely edible popcorn
Well I was warned of this ahead of time. Several people said the popcorn would be extremely dry and chewy, and they were right. But I wanted to see for myself. Complete waste of time and money.
With normal popcorn, there are going to be some chewy kernels, there's no avoiding it. But this is just inedible, even with adding lots of melted butter. Most of it simply cannot be broken down by your teeth and you have to spit out large chunks of fibrous, sinewy popcorn.
There's even a disclaimer on the instructions: WARNING: Popcorn will be very dry!
I kid you not.
The unit itself is very cheaply made. It makes a tremendous amount of noise (big red flag for small electric motors). The inside where the popcorn goes feels about as thick as a soda can. If you overflow the measuring cup by a *tiny* bit, the corn won't spin like it's supposed to and will burn, and then stick very quickly to the inside of the popper. This, of course, being so small, is...
