There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's now September 2014, and we have used this popcorn popper 2-3 times weekly since we got it November 2012. It still works perfectly, with many types of different corn. Now we mostly use organic, to make the wife happy. She's able to operate it perfectly too.
Fill atleast up to the line/circle above the airholes in the chamber, and you're golden. Works every time then. We don't bother to preheat it anymore though.
I usually spray on some "Kernel seasons" popcorn butter, and that makes it somewhat more crispy. Then season to taste. Tastier than microwave popcorn. Happy with the machine, would get another if it stopped working.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I read all the bad reviews of this item before I purchased, (what where they on?) and by the sound of it this product should almost not work at all. Not so.
Fill the correct amount! ( Use the top lid as measuring cup up til and including the hashed area.)
Well, I tried that, and did the "burn in process" that god rid of the plastic smell first, and then I started it. It was totally perfect! Not one - not a single unpopped kernel on the first try. The sound is definatly noticable, but not a problem. Much less than say a blender or hair dryer. Actually it does sound similar to a hairdryer on a medium setting/speed.
Looks great, pops Perfect! -Follow the instructions!
I used the standard Walmart "Great Value" $1.88 dried corn kernels, and a 12 inch wooden bowl which became full of popcorn.
<
<<<
EDIT:
Tried it again;
1. try: 2/3 of Kernel flying everywhere, unpopped.
2. try, slightly less corn: 3/4 of kernels flying everywhere, unpopped.
3. try, checked measurment, this time more than the 2 other times: Perfect!
Have now finished and popped the whole bag succesfully, perfect every time since.
>>>If the kernels is rotating inside the chamber, you are using TOO LITTLE, they will spit out unpopped! Fill to ABOVE the airholes!<<<
Comment: I have noticed that on alot of cheaper amazon products where there are more unhappy customers than happy ones, it seems that the issues most have is because of wrong usage, not really the product faults itself. I do not belive I am able to get one good product after another, while most others gets faulty or malfunctioning ones, or do not work as described. I think it's a user issue. This product is such a product, it works fine if used as described.
Also, someone said to barely cover the surface of the measuring cup. That is TOO LITTLE! Did you not read the separate small piece of paper that describes the measurement? It says UP TO and INCLUDING the scratched/hatced area inside the cup. If you have bad eyesight, measure up to the line inside the chamber instead.
As for taste, i melt some butter, or use spray butter ( to make seasoning stick), then popcorn salt + "Kernel season's" white cheddar popcorn seasoning. Tastes great then!
Yay! Now I can eat more delicious popcorn without the adverse effects of all that oil. There's no after-taste of the hot-air process that I notice, which was on my checklist since it still seems miraculous that such a small device works so well.
EDIT: (12 hours later) OK, I made a mistake in the procedure. You're supposed to turn it on for 2 minutes to preheat it, then turn it off, quickly add the popcorn into the popping chamber, turn it back on and get your popcorn. That works much better!
The initial instructions are confusing because it smells when you first turn it on out of the box (for 2 minutes) so I didn't connect that with the NORMAL operation, but only with something you do initially to prepare it for later use. BUT You do that first, to remove any unwanted residue from the heating element, THEN every time you use it, turn it on for 2 minutes to preheat, put in the kernels and have your bowl ready under the popcorn exit chute.
I have a problem with the measuring lid. (IT'S IMPORTANT to get just the right amount of popcorn into the popping chamber or it won't work right, but the measuring lid is hard to use.) The mark is difficult to see and a large flat volume is more difficult to measure than a tall cylinder or an actual measuring cup. >>>It takes 6 table spoons to fill the chamber.<<< 1 table spoon is 15 ml, SO IT'S 90 ml which is much easier to get with a measuring cup, or even a small container that you can have an exact mark to indicate the same amount that you pour in from the measuring lid. I did it BOTH ways, using the measuring lid, then a measuring cup to make sure that the volume of kernels was correct. 6 TBSP = 3.5 fluid ounces = 90 Mile Liters (ml).

Reviewed in Mexico on October 30, 2023
If you expect an air popper to pop every kernel, don’t even buy one. I’d say I get about 15-20 unpopped kernels per 1/4 cup and to me that’s totally acceptable.
Not going to lie too — the nostalgia branding was a massive selling point for me. Super cute, functional and awesome.
