Great popper
I was wary of buying one of these machines, based on what I'd heard about popcorn poppers. This one really DOES work well! There are *very* few unpopped kernels, though they do sometimes get mixed in with the popped ones. I use a large bowl with it, but even so, I do get some spillage. It's also loud. I can live with all that.. My only real complaint is that the popcorn isn't really crisp, as it is with a traditional oil popper. Maybe that's just how it is with hot air poppers? I'm using Orville Redenbaucher kernels, by the way. I'm not sure that makes a difference. I still eat tons of it, knowing it's healthy and filling! If you need a hot air popcorn popper, this is the one to buy.
