Betty Crocker Movie Nite Air Popcorn Maker

The popcorn maker in action. Pops the popcorn quick. Also (with most air poppers) you tend to get kernels and popcorn shooting everywhere, but with a little cardboard, problem solved.....now I just need a bigger bowl!

Lasted 1 year 4 months. Turned it on, heating element was acting erratic, then all of a sudden stopped working and the smell of melting plastic and metal. Exit stage left to trash bin.
While I used it, it was easy to use. But it never popped all the kernels like my old 1990 one does that I have at work. Save your money and buy something better.

I bought this product knowing that the one customer said that Little Betty Popped the popcorn and it flew everywhere, Hmm ? to me that said it was a hot machine and would pop all the popcorn, ( it does not) this little Jessie is in a Turbo Mode and she does get very hot. The kernels do fly right in a flurry in and out of the bowl in every direction possible, both popped and unpopped. Really no way of stopping this. It is loud and did i mention how very very hot it gets. My Mission is to Tame this Little Betty without burning down the house. don't think this is possible. With Sound and Heat together with Flying Flurry of popcorn and kernels, i am almost certain it will burst into flames to complement the Red Betty. Perhaps they put the wrong engine in this machine, because it gets Really Really Hot !Keep You Children Away

Surprised to see all the reviews talking about lots of unpopped kernels and stuff being flung out onto the floor. I found this machine does it much less than the previous one I used. This could be because I usually pop a relatively small amount a time. It heats up so quickly though that it would be easy to do several batches.

I have been looking for new hot air popcorn popper. My husband brought this home. I had read the reviews before but never told him any. I wish I had. Many kernels popped out before they popped. I tilted it so they stayed in better. When they popped they flew every direction. I think the mouth of this is too wide to direct the popcorn down into only the bowl. I had my grand daughter over so we had a competition. We put the exact amount of popcorn in my old popper and this one. Turned them on. The popping started about the same time. This one blew out 56 kernels when done and the old one had 26. The old one is over 15 years old. This will do but I hope it dies quickly. It turns out he had this at his office for a year and brought it home to clean up his office. Too bad I can't return it.

I agree with most of the other negative reviews. Since so many kernels popped out before the popcorn machine was even hot, I thought maybe my popcorn was old, so went to the store and bought another bag. I was wrong. It did the same thing again. Also, just noticed that even though I've made less than 5 batches so far (purchased in March), one place on the lid/chute section and one of the vents are already getting so hot, they have partially melted!

My son was diagnosed with leukemia 7 months ago and he loves popcorn. His diet has changed significantly and he is only able to have white kernel air popped popcorn and this works great. He can use it himself any time he wants it.

I was so excited to get this popcorn maker. It is a dud. It sends all the kernels out of the popper and pops only a few at the end.

So after using the machine about 6 times. I'm not happy with the amount of kernels unpopped. My old machine that this replaced is a cheaper machine have no name so I had thought if I bought a name brand it would work better but that's not the case

This is very poorly designed, the cylinder to hold the kernels in not deep enough to contain the kernels while in operation and shoots a lot of them out, I have to block off the top until they start popping to get them to stay in. The opening to the cover is too wide for my liking as well. However it was 10 dollars cheaper than the most popular air popper, so IF it was designed properly it would be accurately priced. Air poppers should not cost any more than a cheap hair drier because that is essentially all they are.

Makes great popcorn. It's quick and easy. The price was right and it arrived within a few days. No more microwave popcorn, this is much healthier.

This listing is misleading. The popcorn popper shows a 4.5 star rating, with 27 reviews. But I find only 1 (one star) review for the popper. The majority seem to be for the pizza-maker. This isn't doing Betty Crocker or us consumers any favors.

If I could put negative stars, I would. What an incredible piece of crap. The failure of this machine is exceptional. If you are looking for a popcorn un-popper or a kernel heater-upper, or if you'd like to play a fun game of dodge the molten hot flying kernels, this machine is for you. Completely useless and a total waste of money. The plastic top is melting too.
