Quick and easy once you get the hang of the time
This does not make a lot of popcorn. Think of it as single serving. It doesn’t even fill one of the small paper popcorn bags, but that’s fine. It pops quickly to make mulitple batches.You’ll probably need two sets of times for this, the time for when it’s just popcorn and the time for when there is butter in the top section. The butter drops as the popcorn pops, which makes it distribure evenly, which is wonderful, but which pulls away some of the heat. In my microwave, it’s 2:30 just popcorn and 2:45 for popcorn with butter, to give you an idea. It’s not a huge difference, but if I don’t give those extra fifteen seconds, a lot of the kernals don’t pop.That said, it’s really consistent, and once you have your two times, you can just reuse them, no issue. Even if you do two batches back to back, the time is the same.It is critical that the turntable in the microwave actually be turning while you’re using this, or the best case is the popcorn just won’t pop. The instructions say it can damage that microwave. I lucked out, but ended up with a kettle of hot, unpopped kernals, save for two or three.My only complaint about this is it makes buttered popcorn so quickly, so easily, and so well I’m probably eating more of it than I should.

Works great!
Perfect for one serving. Tried with butter on lid but the popcorn burned. Just melt the butter separately. It only took 2 minutes in my microwave, just listen carefully for it to stop popping. It’s better to have a few unpopped popcorn then for it to be burnt.

Great!
I wanted a popcorn maker that was not too big and just enough for a few servings. This popcorn maker is so easy to use and there is a measuring feature right in the lid. The popcorn pops very well. There are some kernels left over on the bottom, but that happens with most popcorn makers. It is very easy to clean as well.

Itâs all about the popcorn!
We use âmushroomâ popcorn. The name indicates the SIZE of the kernel not where it came from. Our microwave is a cheaper type of unit. 1100 watts and MOST IMPORTANTLY has a rotating platter. I mention that because so many reviews are negative in the use of this popper.I have now used this new popper almost two dozen times and it has performed incredibly well. Each time I use it I get the same wonderful popping experience that I did before. I do understand the negative reviews and may even agree with a bunch of them. Here is what Iâm doing every time I make a pot of corn.1. When using Mushroom Popcorn I allow the kernels to almost cover the bottom of the pot.2. I always put a good chunk of a stick of butter (3-4 Tbs.) in the lid and then I salt the heck out of the butter.3. I set the microwave for 3 minutes and I stand by until the popping slows to one pop every 2 seconds. NEVER STOP THE PROCESS!We have NEVER had a bad batch of popcorn. It always looks like I put too much butter and salt on top of the lid but it has always been perfect. Excess butter and salt is distributed on the insides of the globe and if you decide that you want more salt on your popcorn then all you have to do is to swirl the popcorn inside of the globe. Soooo Yummy!Last but not least! DO NOT clean by placing into a dishwasher. HAND WASH ONLY! Putting the popper in the dishwasher could allow other dishes to touch the globe and the pressure of the water in the dishwasher is powerful enough to just vibrate the popper against the pegs of the washer racks, causing the delicate glass rim of popper to crack and chip.The popper is delicate and should be handled in that way. Carefully.I am NOT disappointed in this little popper and with a little attention paid to the delicacy of my popper I expect it to last for a long long time.NOTE: Itâs been almost a year since the purchase. We continue to use the heck out of it. Average use has been 2-3 times a week or more since we received it. (We love popcorn) As of today 8-12-22 the popper is in good of as when new. Never have popped a bad batch of corn yet. We LOVE this popper.2nd NOTE. Now at 3 years old and we still use it quite often and as of today it works as good as it did when brand new. I have noticed a tiny bit of fracturing around the plastic handle area due to repeated use. The unit does get really hot during the popping part and consequently is starting to show signs of cracking BUT ONLY on the plastic surfaces. The minor cracks do not weaken the unit or effect its popping. Iâm just a little extra careful about grabbing it out of the microwave so quickly, by just the handle. I now use the handle and I also support the entire thing with a dish towel when removing it from the microwave. Even if the handle were to break off, I would still be able to use the popper, just with a potholder or something similar. Iâm pretty stoked about this popper. ALWAYS PERFECTLY POPPED.Update September 28, 2024We are still using our popper as much as we did when we purchased it back in 2021. It has stood up to the test of time as far as Iâm concerned. On my last update I mentioned the cracking of the plastic on the handle. Well, it is doing fine and apparently the micro-cracks have not weakened the plastic and are not getting any worse so I am very happy about that but as always, I like to handle the popper gently just to be safe.I have always placed a big chunk of butter on the top of the lid and then salted the heck out of it before putting it into the microwave. A little tipâ¦â¦ I use only stick butter from the fridge (cold). I donât get the same results from using the butter in the tubs. I have had some crappy results with popping corn BUT the results were a direct result of trying a different kind of popcorn. My wife purchased a few different types and brands of corn. One type of corn (I canât remember the name) would just lay in the bottom of the popper and burn with possibly 1% popped. However, that same corn did fantastic in a pot on the stove (98%) popped but then we tried it in our air-popper and it produced approximately 70% popped. Another type of popcorn she bought produced a lousy (20% this popper), (50% stovetop), (90% Air Popped). And another brand of popcorn she bought produced fairly similar results with each of the methods I mentioned above. So in conclusion I find that it isnât so much a (popper) problem that yields more popped kernels but the actual corn that makes the big difference. We still have our century old 1000 watt turntable style microwave so it isnât the oven that changes. Itâs pretty clear to me that the âmagicâ is in the kernel not the popper. So if you are experiencing problems with your popper not popping the corn then before you blame the device try and use a different brand of kernel.After all this writing about popcorn and butter and poppers, I am wanting some popcorn RIGHT NOW! I hope this update will help some of you guys with your popper. One last tip; Do as I did and spend some time reading about what popcorn really is and learn from the experts that grow it and make a living doing it. There is an endless stream of information on popcorn available. I actually learned a lot and now that I am aware of just why certain popcorn reacts differently to the various methods of popping it. I learned the proper ways to store it and now understand the differences in water content in the kernels and how that affects the speed, size and texture of the popped kernels. A dry kernel will not pop. Popcorn requires moisture content in each kernel. Itâs the moisture that turns into steam inside the kernel that causes it to explode into the popcorn we all love. So check out the world of popcorn and see for yourself. The industry of popcorn is much larger than I ever expected. Learning about popcorn has pretty much eliminated any bad popping experience that we used to get even before purchasing this popper years ago. I expect that this popper will continue to make popcorn for us for quite a long time yet.

TO MANY KERNELS UNPOPPED
While the corn popper is aesthetically pleasing and is very simple to use the real purpose of the popper is to pop the kernels. It leaves more than the average amount unpopped. For this reason it gets a 3 star.1). Iâm using fresh premium brand kernels.2). Iâm not over measuring the kernels.3). Iâm not under popping it.

Popcorn Popper
I like this popper. I purchased the small one, but I should have bought the larger one. But I only pop enough for myself so the smaller one is OK. It makes just enough with no leftovers.You don’t use any oil either to pop the corn. I don’t melt the butter in the top, I melt the butter in the bottom of the carafe after the popcorn is emptied out. It’s very quick & cleans up easily.

Makes Perfect Popcorn!
There is nothing to dislike about this product. If you have burned yourself opening as hot bag of steaming popcorn and then finding your popcorn is burned? Those days are over! It takes a few minutes longer to pop than a paper bag but once it gets going you can actually watch the kernels. Important! Don’t over fill or the popcorn will get kind of jammed together inside the container, and you’ll need a spatula to loosen it up. The glass container doesn’t get dangerously hot like a paper bag does. The learning curve with this thing is very short. Always use the lid/cup to measure out your servings. The more butter you use the longer it takes to pop. Never stop and restart! Buy best quality popcorn! Cleans up easily! You will never use the paper bag again. This is the final word in popcorn makers.

Works Great
I was surprised that it worked so well. I got best results popping 1 and1/2 caps for 3 minutes and 30 seconds on my microwave. All kernels popped and no burnt kernels. I got the 3 quart size. I’ve seen some reviews saying they had burnt kernels and so forth but I guess it all depends on knowing your microwave and how much you try to pop at one time. Also the brand of popcorn may make a difference. Anyway I make perfect popcorn every time with this.

Makes great pop-corn. I love that we can put butter on the cover. It melts on the pop-corn during the popping process and the pop-corn is soooooo delicious. ð It does deserve an absolute 5 stars. Perfect! ð¥°
